Qigong creates better health
I found Gwyn Davis' Zen Movement Classes on Meetup a few months ago and have been pleased with what I've learned so far.
I started out with the Thursday meetings at the Spirit House Yoga Studio. Then I added the Tuesday Zen Zoom online lessons which include access to the Video library so I can work out daily now.
The monthly "Ecstatic Dance" is a spiritual experience on a bigger level. Combining free-style dancing with a different theme each month and some Qigong meditation thrown in to help align everyone with the same goal. Last month we called for global peace.
I always went to sleep during meditation but with the Qigong, chakra centers are activated with the movements which help with my energy work and also keeps me awake!
This is a wise step for anyone seeking better health and wanting to raise their vibes. Enjoy yourselves, Qigong is fun!

An Outstanding Wellness Coach
I would give it 10 stars if I could! Gwyn is an outstanding wellness coach, personal trainer, massage therapist, and health Guru! I've used her wellness services for a few years now and am 100% pleased with her knowledge, expertise, and sincere desire to help individuals achieve their best through educating people with her wellness offerings and classes. When I first met Gwyn my body was in shoulder and back pain from working on my feet all day and not being engaged in a regular exercise routine. She worked with me one-on-one and created a home routine I could do that involved stretching, squats, and other exercises I could do on my own. Within weeks, I felt so much better! The exercises targeted all the areas I needed help in. She also targets specific areas with her massage services and I always feel 200% better after a session. If you're ready to take control of your health and wellness and looking for someone who truly excels in giving you the best guidance, call Gwyn today!

A Wealth of Nutrition
I've been going to Gwyn for about a year now. At first, I went for a massage and now I'm also getting coached on exercise and fitness. Gwyn is great to work with. Every time I go for a massage or exercise session, I learn something new. She has a wealth of nutrition and health knowledge. It's not uncommon for an encouraging text or helpful link to show up on my phone from Gwyn - she's a true professional and a life-long learner. I look forward to my next visit.

Never Felt Better
I have been going to Mind and Body Fitness Connections and working with Gwyn for 3 years. I was a 67 yo female who had never worked out in her life. After working with Gwyn I have never felt better. She started me out slowly and has worked me up to where I'm doing things I never thought I could do. I recently visited my daughter in Denver and was able to go on hikes with her every day. My legs felt great and I wasn't huffing and puffing like I used to. I felt GREAT! I have no doubt it was my work with Gwyn. She's very patient and works with where you are. Never asking you to do things you absolutely can't do, but pushing you to do things you never thought you could do. I am so glad I started working with her.

A Great Teacher
I have been going to Gwyn since February of 2016 and have enjoyed every second of it. Since going to Gwyn, I no longer get sick and feel stronger and healthier. Gwyn has not only helped me get stronger but has given me nutritional recommendations and insight to better balance daily stress and the challenge of maintaining a healthy work-life balance. She is patient and incredibly knowledgeable....a great teacher.

Attention to Detail
Gwyn is excellent at everything she does. Her attention to detail along with a complete understanding of the muscle groups allows her to give you the help you need, where you need it, without wasting time. She is fun to talk to and makes you feel comfortable during the entire session. The location is easy to reach and clean. No complaints.

Amazing To Work With
I have been a client of Gwyn for years. She is amazing to work with. She has a lot of experience and really knows what she's doing. And to top it all off, she is incredibly nice and genuinely cares about each of her clients. I highly recommend her!

Took the Time
I'm not a patient, although she is awesome, and took the time to answer my health questions without hesitation.

Best Way of Dealing With Pain
I have been going to Gywn for probably about 5 years now. I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was 11, it had become more of a challenge the old I got. I started seeing Gywn for Neuromuscular therapy once a month and did it make a difference. I still live with the condition every day but she has given me the tools and knowledge I need to try and help myself when I'm in pain. I would recommend her to anyone that is just trying to get in shape or especially living with a non-treatable deformity looking for the best way of dealing with pain!

Help maintaining a healthy lifestyle
"I have been training with Gwyn for about 2 years with weight training, massages, and nutrition. I have found all three to be beneficial to me in maintaining a healthy lifestyle in all aspects of my life and I love that she can combine all three, since my time is limited. I think a lot of people could surely benefit from this, since time is precious. Gwyn's dedication and knowledge to her trade has given me the right kind of tools to work with on how to take better care of my body, and mind. Thanks Gwyn, for impacting my life in such a positive way."

Pain free after 12 years of back trouble
"In relation to recovering from back surgery, Mind and Body Fitness Connections has really helped me get back to a point in my life where I’m almost completely pain free. I’m getting back to playing sports, running and moving without fear of a relapse. After suffering for over 10 years with 2 herniated discs, I opted finally to get back surgery. Although the surgery eliminated the nerve pain I’d been suffering with for so long, it didn’t fix the structural/muscular issues that I began to notice shortly after my surgery. More than 2 years after my surgery, I was still very limited in what I could and couldn’t do with regard to even very simple everyday tasks like getting in and out of bed, bending, twisting, jumping, moving quickly, etc.
Not until I met Gwyn and began training with her did I fully realize what elements of my body were out of line and/or being favored for so long due to several years of compensating with my injury. She did a thorough evaluation and with her various overlapping areas of expertise, she devised a workout plan for me that focused on core strength and stability first and foremost. I felt almost immediate improvement in my range of motion and flexibility. My pain level has continued to decrease while my strength has improved consistently. Thank you Gwyn, you’ve truly made a difference."

Transformation: Mind, Body, Spirit
"Gwyn Davis has a well-rounded approach to healing an individual. While infusing body work, physical training, nutrition, and spiritual intuition, she gives guidance for great transformation. Gwyn does not address only the area of concern but looks at all aspects of one's life to determine the most well-suited plan of treatment to heal the entire individual. Transformation on so many levels may seem daunting but Gwyn has a simple style that allows one to change minute things that make a huge difference. Now is the time to take hold of your life and claim it! Gwyn helped me not only claim my healed physique but the very depths of myself."
- Carol Hamilton
Massage therapy - intense, but healing
"If you’re looking for a “feel good, put me to sleep” type of massage, then you need to look somewhere else. However, if you’re tired of knotted, tight muscles preventing you from moving your body without pain, then it’s time for you to put yourself into the most capable hands I’ve found. Gwyn truly has magic hands!
Gwyn turned me into a believer in the power of deep tissue massage and proper stretching. All messages I had in the past left me disappointed. They felt nice at the time but I did not gain any long-term benefits. Gwyn takes a different approach and uses her knowledge of the body and how it works to target your problem areas and help resolve them. She also has the knack of finding sore spots you didn’t even know you had! While in training, Gwyn's weekly massages were as critical to my regimen as swimming, biking, and running.
Gwyn is passionate about helping people live healthier lives and it comes through in her work. She is a natural healer with a gift for understanding the human body. Although you will likely feel a difference after just one session, the best results come after she has the opportunity to work with you repeatedly. She’ll learn your trigger spots and won’t let up until they improve.
A massage with Gwyn is no “day spa” massage. You’ll need to focus your breathing and think happy thoughts to get through the tough spots but it is all worth it in the end. You are in good hands with Gwyn. In fact, you’re in the BEST hands!"

Recovery from persistent neck pain
"Gwyn Davis has been a great help in my recovery from constant neck pain due to a car accident almost 2 years ago. I have seen other massage therapists once a week for 3+ months, but I got better results with Gwyn within 3 visits. Gwyn knew exactly where I had pain and how to work on each body part. She also has taken the time to give me an exercise routine that has helped significantly with my range of motion and pain. Gwyn used a whole-body approach with me because my pain was chronic, she knew that massage alone would not heal me and that I needed a combination of both massage and exercise to truly heal. I have been seeing Gwyn for a month now and I feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel for me. Gwyn is knowledgeable and caring and will use her time wisely. I highly recommend her."

Simply sleeping better
"I have found that exercise has helped me in the following ways: an increase in energy and endurance and a more restful night's sleep."

Equipped to get stronger
"I was a client of Gwyn's from January to May 2010. My chief concerns were Plantar Fasciitis and a weak right shoulder. Through her work-out and strengthening routines, I have gotten rid of the foot problem and gained new strength in my right shoulder and arm. Her knowledge of the human body and muscles is amazing. She is patient and always able to work with you in altering routines to fit your ability. I will be able to continue with her program for me at home. A great experience! I have learned a lot from Gwyn."
- Susan Neuberger
Pain relief when nothing else worked
"I came to Gwyn Davis with the chronic right forearm, elbow, and shoulder pain. I have had this for about 3 years. I am an avid biker, I love lifting weights, and doing yoga (yoga is how I injured myself). So I did not know what to think when I started going to Gwyn and the first thing she said was stop exercising - I did not think we were going to get along! I WAS WRONG. It turns out I was actually doing some exercises wrong. I feel Gwyn has worked a miracle. I have had 2 surgeries, cortisone shots, pain pills, even physical therapy with no relief. In just a few short weeks - very enjoyable weeks - Gwyn showed me about proper alignment and how to stretch and exercise properly. I think Gwyn Davis is a knowledgeable/personable/incredible person. I would recommend her HIGHLY."
