"Fitness Comes From Within and Reaches Outwardly" - Tammy Shaw-Sykes

I am here to shift you out of pain and into new possibilities

Hi, I’m Tammy — and I believe movement should feel good, powerful, and freeing. 


For the last 16+ years, I’ve helped people reduce pain, restore confidence in their bodies, and move better — not through quick fixes, but through education, breathwork, alignment, and functional movement with the emphasis on “fun” to them

 

My passion comes from my own story.


Years ago, I lived with constant pain — fibromyalgia, joint injuries, arthritis, neuropathy — you name it. Doctors didn’t have answers beyond prescriptions and surgery with a 10% chance of reducing symptoms.

I was exhausted, frustrated, and scared that this was “just how life would be.”  and I wasn’t even 40 years old yet. 

But I refused to accept that.


I sought out deeper learning in mind-body connections. Shifting my own mindset from hopeless to hopeful.

 

I studied massage, posture and how muscles and bones work together from top experts in massage and bodywork, chiropractic, movement from yoga to dance to sports and progressed to nutrition and healing properties of the food to make cellular changes. Also considering  how sleep, breathing and stress can affect our hormones enhancing perimenopause symptoms.

 

Transforming my foundation unlocked an active life I never imagined possible — flowing through yoga, dancing with joy, returning wallyballs (volleyballs), chasing pickleballs, keeping up with grandkids and and a passion for guiding others back to the activities they love. 

Aging gracefully is not for the faint of heart, but with a strong heart, and good posture we will show strength while aging in place. ~ Tammy

**People are beautifully complicated...

That means your care should be too.**


Pain, posture, hormones, emotions, and habits are all connected.
A sore back may start at your feet.
Neck tension may be linked to breathing.
Fatigue may be hormonal.

So I take a whole-person approach:

 

  • How you breathe

  • How you stand and move

  • How you sleep and recover

  • How stress and hormones influence your system

  • How your habits shape your structure

I don’t chase symptoms — I help you uncover why your body is compensating and how to restore balance.
