About Alicia
Movement educator, personal trainer, corrective exercise practitioner, Pilates teacher, fascia specialist, and movement medicine guide.
I have spent more than 25 years helping people reconnect to their bodies, but the TRU Core Method did not come from a tidy brand exercise. It came from years of injury, training, clinical practice, and having to rebuild my own body more than once.
One part of that learning came through musculoskeletal injury and rebuilding. Another came through later illness, nervous system depletion, and the visceral side of wellness. I care about what is real, what is mechanical, and what actually changes the state of the body.
What Shapes My Work
My Story
This method came out of repeated injury, deeper study, and learning to rebuild the body from both the musculoskeletal and wellness sides.
Chapter 1
I started late in the dance world and kept pushing past what was mechanically sound because I wanted to catch up. That led me into personal training, deeper movement study, Pilates, and the beginning of my obsession with why some bodies keep getting injured.
Chapter 2
In 2002 I had a major snowboarding accident with concussion, whiplash, spinal impact, and pelvic damage. I had to relearn how to walk, drive, focus, and function. That rebuilding taught me the musculoskeletal truth of the body in a way no textbook ever could.
Chapter 3
Years later, mold toxicity and long-haul COVID forced me into another level of study: immune function, visceral wellness, nervous system depletion, brain-gut signaling, and what it really takes to rebuild a body from the inside out.
Chapter 4
The TRU Core Method came out of all of it: injury, study, clinical practice, fascia, Pilates, corrective exercise, breath work, nutrition, and the neurological side of healing. It is the body of work I wish I had found earlier.

Why People Come To Me
I have worked with post-surgery clients, post-PT clients, executives, founders, Olympic athletes, and A-list celebrities. The common thread is not status. It is that they know their body is not functioning the way it should, and they want someone who can find what is actually true.
The method draws from Classical Pilates, corrective exercise, fascial work, nervous system regulation, breath mechanics, and finding what truly nourishes the body. It is warm and human, but it is not vague.
