Camille grew up on a rural farm in Orange County, Virginia.  She spent her childhood wandering the woods, befriending 4 (and 6) legged creatures, and practicing martial arts at the Laughing Dragon Kung Fu school.  Prior to Covid, she was studying Animal Behavior at the University of New England in Biddeford, Maine.  During that time, she became Balanced Athlete certified after discovering movement as a way to manage chronic joint and upper back pain.  In the summer of 2021, she was hired by The Living Earth School as a summer camp counselor and then full time homeschool instructor.  In the rekindling of her connection to nature, her movement practice started to evolve in new ways. 

In the Spring of 2023, Camille achieved a longtime goal of becoming a MovNat Certified Trainer.  She immediately began teaching Natural Movement conditioning and mobility classes in an outdoor, woodland gym.  Since then she has pursued a NASM certification and coached many people in developing their Natural Movement skills.  

Camille’s training philosophy is playfulness!  She believes all movement is good movement, and a little bit of movement more often is superior to a lot of movement infrequently.  Camille places a huge emphasis on the real world application of movements, and the importance of being able to move freely in as many positions as possible.  But, she believes that the most critical part of fitness is finding movement that makes one feel as though they are a child on a playground again.  Tapping into the laughter, silliness, experimentation, and curiosity that can come with a movement practice.

Most of Camille’s time is spent climbing trees, jumping from rock to rock, and vaulting logs, but she also enjoys weaving baskets, reading really nerdy books, and long nights by the campfire.  With an exhaustive amount of energy, Camille is always there to make things loud, goofy, and slightly chaotic!
