Movement as Practice

Endurance sports, especially cycling, play a meaningful role in how I show up as a therapeutic companion. The discipline, structure, and resilience required in endurance pursuits mirror the emotional and behavioral work involved in recovery. Movement provides a framework—not just for fitness, but for routine, perspective, and sustainable growth.

At times, I’ve introduced clients to cycling as part of rebuilding their connection to themselves and the world around them. It’s not about speed or output; it’s about rhythm, consistency, and learning how to keep going when it gets uncomfortable. These shared moments—riding together, troubleshooting a mechanical issue, or just showing up early for the ride—become metaphors for the recovery process itself.

In-home, I’ve helped clients purchase bikes, set fitness goals, or simply discover how movement can become a safe and stabilizing force. It’s never required, but always available. And when appropriate, endurance practice becomes another way of anchoring new habits, developing trust, and expanding what recovery can look like.
