Jessica Goodman

Founder, Lead Coach

Hi Friends! I’m Jessica… or Jess.. (but not Jessy/Jesse/Jessie/etc).

My professional purpose is to provide and facilitate exceptional care to people who move their bodies. Over the last decade, this purpose has put me in a wide variety of roles. I still serve as a Certified Athletic Trainer for athletes of all levels of competition from professional/Olympic bound to tiny tot. My work settings have spanned across schools, soccer fields, and clinics. Specifically I have worked in brain injury, orthopedic, and occupational health clinics. I also have built/scaled a few sports medicine programs.

As a yoga instructor I teach with an emphasis in restorative practices and alignment based flows.

My favorite professional endeavor so far is Forward Movement Rehab. I started this business to fill the gap in athletic healthcare that most active adults find themselves in a some point. That gap between performance and activity/training shut down by non-athletic minded physicians. I write movement and pain solution based programing with both performance and pathology in mind.

Personally, I am homebody out to see the world and constantly on the hunt for adventure. I am an Enneagram 5, astrological leo, and outgoing introvert.

Personal Values:

My Oxygen Mask on First- I prioritize boundaries, sleep, movement, water, and I do not make apologies for nutritional needs. I believe if we don’t take care of ourselves first, we can’t be of service to others.
Servant Leadership- I believe leadership is a verb, not a noun. It is an action, not a title or position. I believe in doing the work I am asking my teammates, athletes, friends or family to do.
Adventure often- I believe adventure is around every corner. It is in the hard things, the simple things, to beautiful things and the ugly things.
