Amber

Hello! My name is Amber. I am a mom to 2 littles, wife, nurse, and Eupraxian since its very beginning.

I grew up in West Salem on a dairy farm and did gymnastics from the time I was a toddler through high school. Practicing gymnastics year round kept me in shape through high school. As I entered college, however, the amount of exercise I was partaking in greatly decreased and my muscular body embarrassingly turned to mush; I made attempts to exercise, often running, but I lost interest and my efforts would only last a few months before going months without. Frequently eating chicken wings, pasta, and subs did not help either. Looking back, I definitely did not understand how bad my food choices were for my body.

I graduated with my bachelors in nursing in 2010 and my masters in nursing in 2015, and have worked at Gundersen in different nursing roles since 2010. Steve and I’s relationship began as he was launching the very first Eupraxia, so I have had the privilege of training at Eupraxia since it opened in January 2012. Learning the innate diet and lifestyle was so eye-opening for me, and it made so much sense. Shortly after opening I began leading classes. After all these years, I am still excited to go train every day – I credit this to the deliberately changing and challenging workouts and the fabulous members who come to train with us! Having the opportunity to support and motivate others to achieve their goals, while becoming happier and healthier, makes my heart happy 🙂
