Six months after a having three strokes at age 47, I read a newspaper article about Callie’s personal journey with Resilience. The words she spoke to the reporter made me feel, for the first time, that I was not alone in my experience of my brain injury.

Despite my lifelong optimism and diligent work to recover from the strokes, there was some elusive aspect of recovery that I couldn’t grasp. Speech therapy, cognitive therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and psychotherapy all had their place, but even with all that progress, I still felt like I’d been possessed by a lazy, dimwitted, clumsy alien.

What no one tells you when you have a giant life change—be it a stroke, head injury or other big thing—you’re not entirely sure who you are. This critical loss of self trumped all my other deficits. Finding a way to march forth to wholeness was daunting.

Callie’s Resilience Workshops tapped into this void for me. She created a warm, authentic, welcoming space to share and learn. We worked in several modalities (talk, meditation, movement, art) in each workshop. Her warmth and connectedness shone as we worked through telling (and accepting) our stories. We processed our struggles, laughed a lot, and cried some, too.

Callie guided us with practical lessons on how to press on in a life unexpected. Finding joy on these tough journeys is really hard. She offered me so much of what I needed to turn the corner towards wholeness.

Some of the best fitness and mind-body awareness coaching I've ever had was with Callie Kimball! Her approach to instruction was thoroughly tailored to my needs, my experience, and how I learn.

Callie gave detailed, careful instruction that helped me to understand new concepts in a clear manner that played to my background, and developed imagery that I still use in my practice today.

Callie was also able to coach me through some significant life change events, helping me process the trauma of loss in a way that sought balance and grounding in my body when my mind and emotions were elsewhere.

Whether in person or over the phone, Callie was able to meet me wherever I was (physically or emotionally), and I always felt supported and respected with Callie as my instructor. I highly recommend her to others - she, frankly, spoiled me for any other instructor!
