About
A little about who I am, techniques I trust, and why I do this work.
Hi, I'm Akane
Welcome! My name is Akane (they/them) and I am a Certified Personal Trainer and Reiki II Practitioner based in unceded Lenape land (Brooklyn, NY).
I practice Personal Training and Reiki as methods tuning into our bodies’ innate capacities for healing, wisdom, and strength. My purpose is to help facilitate for clients a deepened, conscious, trustful connection with the infinitely wise body, whether it is through lifting weights or on the Reiki table.
Guided by intention
Holistic Approach
Strength and wellness are shaped every day by an ecosystem of factors including (but not limited to!) nutrition, sleep, stress, and trauma. Each session responds actively to this dynamic ecosystem while working progressively towards achieving goals.
Longevity & Cyclical Change
Our bodies move in cycles. Our relationship to movement is a lifetime. Working consciously with these cycles allows for an authentic, joyful, and sustainable relationship to movement to emerge.
Trans-centered & Pro-fat
I celebrate the bodies that are stigmatized within normative gym culture. Every body is rich in experience and worthy of attention and care.
