Coaching & Wellness

Welcome

Take a breath.

There comes a moment when you can feel the quiet pull toward something more authentic, more aligned.

If you’re standing at that threshold, this is your invitation.

Let’s create a space where you can breathe again. Evolution gets to feel less like effort and more like coming home.

Together we rise.

Let's talk about

Kind Words

from our clients

“Kassie Alnwick is changing the world one person at a time…A wonder woman and skilled mentor, she has a revolutionary approach to health and fitness. Her emphasis on physical, mental, and emotional strength starts with the cleansing of outmoded ideas on the client's part…I have achieved a level of strength and well-being that I did not believe was possible after severe illness…My transformational journey has gone beyond the physical and has empowered me in all aspects of my life…I would love to see her publicly acknowledged on NBC 4 as Heroine of the Month...This gifted teacher is a woman with a vision, a strong role model for young and old, a true heroine for our times.”
Mary Lou M., R.N.Personal Training/Nutrition Coaching Client
“I worked with Kassie on harnessing my spirituality as a resource to meet life's challenges which were particularly intense given COVID19. Kassie held space for me to process a lot of confusion about my life direction and relationship goals… She is deeply kind, present, and perceptive: she will reflect your highest best self back to you, even when you can't see it for yourself... She walks her talk in life, lives her life out loud and is 100% authentic…If you have an opportunity to hire Kassie as your coach, go for it...I have worked with some of the world's top coaches, even the president of the ICF at one time, and I can say Kassie is one of the best.”
Samantha S.Life/Spiritual Coaching Client
“Kassie, thank you so much for working with me on my VISION statement. After just listening to me talk about what I would love to do with my life, you were able to pick out key words which then became a clear statement defining what I wanted to experience. As you read the statement I was emotionally moved. Without even meeting me, you were able to nail it! It felt so perfect! I kept repeating my personal vision statement as I prepared for my interview and the very next day and I GOT THE JOB! Not only that, I received another job offer the day after that!! Both job offers aligned perfectly with my vision statement...” (Continued on next page)
Jennifer M.Life Coaching Client
(Continued) “...Even though I know life presents curves at times, at least now I feel like I'm on the right path. I am looking forward to our weekly sessions and I would highly recommend you to anyone looking to clarify their vision and begin living the life they want.”
Jennifer M.Life Coaching Client
"Kassie, I loved the 2 fitness classes you taught. I am so glad Claire decided to ask you to sub for her. Each quite different from hers; each very complimentary to her teaching! I've been going to a gym regularly- early on when I was working in NYC and could well afford a personal trainer-and since preferring classes, since my mid 30's. That's a big number of years...with a 4 in it!!! Kassie, it wasn't until today when you demo'd the "flank steak" method of ab training, I've never really felt'm doing sit ups, etc.were always pretty easy."
Judil H.Fitness Class Participant
"I had been working with Kassie for only 5 months on technique and posing before taking second place in the NPC Minnesota State Championships! Her extensive knowledge and positive attitude are inspiring and her enthusiasm infectious. My confidence and presentation improved dramatically under her guidance. Kassie is the BEST for anyone serious about making a life change!"
Nu G.Choreography/Life Coaching Client
"Great News To Share!!!! Went to try on the dress I ordered for my friend's wedding- THEY NEEDED TO ORDER ME A SIZE SMALLER!!!!! By eating clean (not "dieting"') and doing 3 half hour workouts with you a week, I am down an entire dress size AND I FEEL GREAT!!!! If this is what happens only after a few weeks, I can only imagine what I am going to create by the end of the summer! Thanks for turning me on to your bars. They are perfect for my 10:00 and 3:00 meals."
RitaPersonal Training/Nutrition Coaching Client
"I was so inspired by your class last night, that I just had to go online and look you up! You are living your mission; life on fire! I'm all into turning around the "have, do, be" to "be, do, have (or experience, own, thrive...) this is what I train my mind in every day lately with affirmations etc. Your words rang so true! Can't wait to get my hands or eyes on your book and dig even deeper into getting to know myself, my soul, my spirit, my passion."
Ashley M.Workshop Participant
"Kassie has always been a light in my life. From the moment I spoke with her, I felt like the universe had put her in my life for a reason. With her guidance paired with the new moon's energy, I was able to connect with myself to literally feel what I need in order to keep growing into my best self. Truly a magical experience and I feel more connected to the universe and myself."
Valarie W.Spiritual/Life Coaching Client
"Kassie was an amazing voice for our girls to hear. She was not only empowering and inspiring, but she showed our girls how to view each other in such a way that really took our team chemistry to a much higher level! She was an absolute pleasure to have and tremendously supported our team at a pivotal time of the season. I would highly recommend her to any coach, program, and player looking for an edge."
Tara Flynn, Wagner Women's Assistant Basketball Coach
"Kassie, I don't know how you did it. Everything you said was exactly what we needed to hear. Thank you! Elizabeth Freeman Center offers hope, help, and healing to all experiencing or affected by domestic and sexual violence through free, accessible, and confidential services in Berkshire County. We work to end the cycle of violence through community mobilization, advocacy, and education. Promoting social justice and working to end all forms of oppression are essential to our work."
Stephanie P., Elizabeth Freeman Center
"My back has been bothering me for the last 10 years. While I was receiving the reiki treatment from you, my body felt completely relaxed. Waking the next morning I was AMAZED to be pain free! This feeling lasted for 2 days. Now I am more than ready & willing to receive my next energizing treatment."
Rosemary H.Reiki Client
"I was introduced to Kassie at New York Health & Racquet, York Avenue, Manhattan. Kassie was recommended as a Level 3 (highest) Personal Trainer…The workouts were intensive, and because I have done similar training for many years, I was able to judge Kassie's knowledge of weight training technique. It is, as you would expect from a woman who has gained national recognition as an athlete, extensive and expert." (Continued on next page)
Keith J.Personal Training Client
(Continued) "...However, because of my age, 65, Kassie needed to understand what my particular limits were. Training six days a week, I completed the "Challenge" without any injury or ill effects, a fact I am sure was due to Kassie's careful monitoring of my progress. Kassie is highly intelligent, motivated and disciplined individual. Were I seeking a person with executive skills, I would have no hesitation in employing her in my company and giving her high responsibilities."
Keith J.Personal Training Client
"Thank you Kassie! We did it! The dedication was always there. I never lost the mindset you gave me- "Train like a pro, YOU BECOME A PRO". You were behind me, you BELIEVED in me, and the results, along with my dream came true last night! THANK YOU!"
Peter Sciallo, IFBB ProfessionalChoreography/Mindset Coaching Client
"I found your remarks very moving and I could tell from the expressions on the faces of our young women award recipients and our club members that they were inspired by your words. As we move through this period of uncertainty, I am sure you will guide others toward hope and a sense of connection. With my best wishes for your health and your continuing positive influence on others."
Marjorie Lavin, PresidentKeynote Speech & Awards Presentation
"When we started working together I was playing for the Southern Tier Xpress Ice Hockey team in Jamestown, NY. I was 17 at the time just coming off of playing for the Jr. Sabres. We've worked together 3 ½ years now and honestly it was one of the best decisions I've ever made…Without a doubt the best coach I've had the pleasure of training with!" (Continued on next page)
Michael Keller, Seacoast Spartans, EHL Junior HockeyPersonal Training/Nutrition/Life Coaching Client
(Continued) "She listens to you to the point where she knows what is going on, then she stops you, redirects you, helps you get any negative thoughts out of your head, and together a plan to move forward is created. She is very blunt when she needs to be, but can be the motherly comfort you need when you need it…" (Continued on next page)
Michael Keller, Seacoast Spartans, EHL Junior HockeyPersonal Training/Nutrition/Life Coaching Client
(Continued) "When she got a hold of me my senior year of high school I was able to defeat the biggest enemy I had since I missed making the National Development Camp team. Lost 7Olbs in one Season! Between her personality and the information she is packed full of, I don't think there is a better person to pick when looking for coaching! Hire Kassie if you’re looking to take your game and life to the next level. Her "Kassieisms" alone are worth their weight in gold!"
Michael Keller, Seacoast Spartans, EHL Junior HockeyCoaching Client
"Being a female athlete, I recognize that nutrition is an integral component of optimal performance. During my junior year, basketball season had begun to take a toll on my body. I was eating improperly and therefore did not have the energy I needed to perform. Mid way through the season, Kassie Alnwick, trainer at Gold's Gym in Syosset, N.Y., offered me a few tips. The change in my diet increased my physical output…" (Continued on next page)
Amy P.Nutrition Coaching Client
(Continued) "...Within a few weeks of making the change, including adding a pre-practice/game and post-practice/game meals to the routine, I noticed a remarkable difference in the way my body responded to the intense level of exercise. I felt more energized and I was able to do much more on the basketball court."
