Vera / About Summer
Hi, I'm Summer.
I'm glad you found me.
I'm a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, and I've spent more than a decade teaching yoga and fitness. I care about understanding people: what matters to them, what they're finding difficult and what they want for themselves.
If you're here because you'd like to take better care of yourself but you're not sure how, I'd love to hear a little about you.
Why this work matters to me.
My own health challenges have shaped my understanding of wellbeing and the care I bring to this work. I know the frustration of putting time and energy into your health while feeling unsure how to support yourself.
During difficult periods, I wanted someone who would listen with curiosity and help me understand what I needed, without pressure to prove myself or worry about disappointing them. That is the support I offer: space to be heard, reflect and explore a way forward that feels right for you.
I believe we're all learning and growing throughout our lives. Our needs change, and so does our understanding of what supports us. I'm part of that process too. You can come to our work with questions and uncertainty; we'll take time to understand what wellbeing means for you and how you want to care for yourself.
What movement means to me
I began practicing yoga as a child to help with the anxiety I felt before school. Over time, it has become a way to connect more closely with my body and pay attention to how I feel. I value feeling strong, trusting myself and being present in my life.
I've taught yoga, barre and group fitness, completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training, and co-founded an outdoor training business in Florence, Italy. Supporting people through movement has been a meaningful part of my life.
Coaching brings the wider picture into our work: your thoughts, relationships, responsibilities, and the things that bring you energy and meaning. We explore how they connect and what they mean for your wellbeing.
What I bring to our conversations
I bring an open heart, an open mind and a natural curiosity. When something feels difficult, I want to understand what that looks like in your life. When something matters to you, I want to know why.
I'll listen closely, reflect what I'm hearing and check my understanding with you. I value your feedback and welcome knowing how I could support you better.
When we turn toward action, we draw on your strengths, values and vision to shape a realistic step you feel ready to try. We'll consider how it fits into your life, what support might help and how you'd like to notice your progress.
You make the decisions. This is time for you to understand yourself and explore what you want for your wellbeing.
A little more about me
Outside this work, I'm drawn to the sea and nature, and I love to create. I studied fashion, and art, music, cooking and reading continue to be important parts of my life. I make time for creativity, beauty and the people I love as part of caring for my own wellbeing.
I'd be interested to hear what matters in yours.
