Jaicee Whitmarsh

who I am

My name is Jaicee Whitmarsh.

I am the Operations Agent, the Duchess of Operations, here at the Center of Intrinsic Alignment. I’m involved in customer service, office management patient/insurer liaison and day to day field operations at the CIA. In addition, I am a Certified Personal Trainer and Corrective Exercise Practitioner.

what I do

As a Certified Personal Trainer, my main focus is Corrective and Rehabilitative exercise training, specializing in postural re-education and chronic ailments. I enjoy helping others identify, and correct, their postural imbalances caused by years of compensation patterns, past injuries, or daily wear. Whether it’s those who’ve been experiencing pain for years or those who are newly injured, we are able to instill their own form of “pain management” and help rid themselves of their pain cycles. Assisting people in gaining their life back is an absolute reward. You will also see me up front in the office, as I oversee Administrative and Customer Service tasks.

why I do

Six years ago I was introduced to pole fitness and became mesmerized. I began to train day in and day out which fueled my interest in learning more of anatomy, kinesiology, and functional movement. Learning about optimal body movement opened my eyes to the necessity of good health. My desire to maintain good health, and to share the benefits of good health with others, prompted my decision to become a Personal Trainer.

education

I obtained my Certification through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) in April of 2019 and have been working with Manual Therapist since to broaden my knowledge of how the body moves. Currently, I am completing my practical application training as a Corrective Exercise Practitioner, as I wish to continue helping others gain freedom of movement back into their lives.

interests

We have 5 daughters, and one of our absolute favorite things to do is just spend time outdoors, especially with those girls! It’s hard not to enjoy the spaces we roam in when you live in the magical place that is Alaska. We enjoy going camping, fishing, hiking, practicing Hapkido, shooting the old bow, container gardening, and hanging out with our 27 chickens and 9 dogs! We are chasing the elusive dream of cultivating our very own homestead. I dream of fish wheels, and solar power for our off grid life... In the meantime, I’ve really enjoyed educating myself and our girls on self-sustaining life and wilderness survival skills.

recommendations

“One day..... OR Day One. “ - Paulo Coelho

This is a quote that I happened to come across one day and it‘s definitely stuck with me. I’ve used it to overcome what I considered to be “obstacles” in my life. I share it every chance I can, with everyone I can, and I highly recommend anyone who’s traversing difficult times to try it.

Ask yourself.

Genuinely, ask yourself.

Then make the decision.

For every action is a reaction,

and the only one responsible for taking action for your life is YOU.
