Move With Joy.
Live In Balance.
Let’s create a movement and wellness practice that sparks joy—and supports the whole you.
Hi, I’m Cindy Appanaitis, MAT
Movement Mentor & Wellness Coach
I help people build movement and wellness into their everyday lives—in ways that spark joy and bring lasting balance.
With a background in movement science, education, and whole-person wellness—and years of experience coaching strength, conditioning, and personal wellness in schools—I guide you to uncover and release outdated motivators, then design a practice that moves you toward your goals while bringing balance and joy to your life.
Not your typical personal trainer—
Here’s how I support your whole wellness journey: I combine the science of movement with holistic coaching to create joyful, sustainable practices that truly fit your life and who you are today.
This isn’t about counting reps, pushing through dread, or rigid routines. It’s about reconnecting with your body with care, curiosity, and kindness—creating a practice that truly supports you.
You belong here ♡
You may be ready for something more joyful, more sustainable, more like you if this sounds like you…
🟢 Movement & Motivation
You find it hard to begin—or stay consistent—with movement, even though you know it helps you feel better.
You wish you had support, guidance, and accountability to make movement something you actually enjoy.
🟦 Stress & Overwhelm
You feel overwhelmed by stress or like it’s running your life.
Your thoughts feel chaotic or nonstop—leaving you anxious, drained, or like you’re never doing enough.
🟣 Feeling Out of Balance with Life—and Yourself
Your patience runs thin more often than you’d like.
Life feels like it’s rushing by, but you’re missing the joy in it.
You’re harder on yourself than you’d ever be to someone you love.
If you’re nodding yes to any of these—it’s ok!
None of this means you’re broken or doing life wrong. In fact, there’s nothing wrong with you at all…YOU ARE JUST RIGHT.
What’s really happening is that your motivators and systems—your patterns, habits, and coping strategies—may be outdated. They might no longer reflect who you are today, what you want, or what you truly need to feel balanced and joyful.
That’s where I come in.
Together, we’ll:
Uncover what no longer serves you
Build empowering systems and motivators that spark joy
Create balanced practices that keep you coming back for more
Help you soak in the goodness of life—feeling your best every step of the way
So you can feel more like yourself again—and maybe even better than before.

My Approach -
I Believe Wellness Starts with Tuning In—And Grows Through Connection, Compassion, and Curiosity.
My approach is not about perfection or even the “right way” —it’s about building a compassionate, sustainable relationship with your body to discover the right way for you right now.
Whether you’re starting fresh, returning after a break, or refining your practice, we’ll create something to uniquely fit you.
There are no rigid routines here. Instead, we focus on real-life, whole-self care rooted in self-compassion, curiosity, and acceptance. Movement becomes a tool for connection—with your body, your mind, and the world around you.
This is movement that meets you exactly where you are—and grows with you.
