Liv's Story
How it Started
Liv used to think that health was all fruits, veggies, and running. A new high-pressure job quickly made her realize that health was so much more than that.
In an attempt to relieve the stress, anxiety, and burnout she was experiencing in her new role as employee #1 at a startup, Liv started running more and went to SoulCycle 7 days a week. Still, she felt her stress levels increase day after day. It became clear that physical fitness was not the only indicator of health — she needed to work on building her mental muscles, too.
So, she downloaded a meditation app and began therapy, both of which helped her to make progress toward mental wellbeing, but left her feeling isolated. She began to ask herself — why did mental health have to feel so lonely? Why couldn’t working on your mental muscles be as social, supportive, and uplifting as heading to SoulCycle with friends?
Liv continued to dial in her own mental wellness practice, and as the months went on, she found that a balance of guided meditation, journaling, and yoga was helping her feel more confident and capable on a daily basis and sharpen her stress management skills.
The one thing that was still missing was a sense of community. So, Liv decided to build it herself.
Liv became a certified meditation and mindfulness teacher as well as an RYS certified yoga instructor. She interviewed psychologists, mental performance coaches, fitness instructors, and other health professionals, and ultimately, created the one-of-a-kind Liberate Method and the world’s first mental fitness studio for teams.</b.
