“What if…”It’s a conjecture that holds profound promise; that fosters unyielding optimism; that conveys a strong belief and foundational faith in the best of humanity. My name is Jodi Weber and I have had the privilege of working with Kevin Bailey since 2018, and have benefited from the immense talent that Kevin brings to his work, including the encouragement, the nurturing, and the support that his “What if…” statements embody. When our time together began, I had hoped to receive guidance on exercises that would help me be stronger and more physically fit, though I have to admit I’m not sure I even knew that meant. But then, with Kevin’s intuitive, gentle encouragement, I began to respond to his, “What if…” prodding’s and accompanying guidance for improvement:What if I could sit comfortably on the floor?What if I could stand back up without having to rely on the help of others?What if I could squat down to talk to someone without limping afterwards?What if my tailbone didn’t hurt?What if I didn’t hold my tension in my neck and shoulders?What if I didn’t wake up in pain?All of these problems had creeped in over the years and I had accepted them as part of the aging process. But “What if…” they could be impacted, improved, strengthened? “What if…” I could start using my body correctly instead of compensating in ways that seemed to work in the moment but harmed me long term? Sometimes Kevin’s “What if…” came in complete sentences, such as, “What if you made getting on the elliptical every day a priority, like you do your other appointments? What would happen?” and sometimes the “What if…” occurred through slow but consistent progress, such as when I realized my tailbone no longer hurt and I began to wonder, what might it feel like to have a stronger core? So, always responsive and supportive, Kevin helped me to explore ways to safely impact my new goal while making sure I didn’t injure myself.Being a woman of many words, I often engage Kevin in conversation as we work together. Through these inspirational and thought-provoking exchanges, I have found myself responding to Kevin’s “What if…” to strengthened my personal self-talk and daily engagements, allowing me to consider more possibilities:What if I made healthier food choices? Could I lose 10 pounds?What if I didn’t keep my body tense, ready for fight or flight?What if I focused on the good in those around me?What if I didn’t watch the evening news before going to bed?What if I turned off some of the alerts on my phone?What if I took the time to breathe deeply? You can see reflected in my testimonial all the ways Kevin has strengthened my Foundation through his gentle guidance and reinforcement of the four tenants that feed into and from this base: encouraging a positive Mindset, making healthy choices with my Meals, prioritizing consistent stretching and Movement, and the settling that comes from prayer, breath, and/or Meditation. These have not been forced on me but, instead, when I have shown a readiness Kevin has responded with encouragement and support. I will be forever grateful to Kevin, who employed his framework, strength and outlook on life to help me through the death of both of my parents, the pandemic, and my husband’s challenging health issues – all while helping my body stay strong and my mind positive. This has been no small feat and has only been possible because he saw me as more than a client who needed to get her heart rate up, but instead as a person with a heart, body, and soul.
