Welcome to My JAMM! I’m Wendy Welsher, a fat-positive movement coach based in Sacramento, CA, and I’m so glad you’re here. With over 10 years of experience, I specialize in functional strength and conditioning, focusing on teaching the foundations of movement, weightlifting, and power training—skills that enhance your daily life and foster a sense of empowerment.

​

My Story

I understand firsthand the challenges that can come with movement. As someone living with ADHD, depressive disorder, and anxiety, and in recovery from an eating disorder, I know how deeply these experiences can impact self-esteem and body trust. I’ve also faced fatphobia and weight bias, and these experiences have profoundly shaped my coaching philosophy. My mission is to create a space where you feel seen, valued, and supported on your fitness journey.

​

My Mission

 founded My Joyous Adaptive Momentous Movement (My JAMM) to provide authentic, accessible, and safe spaces where everyone feels included and empowered. Fitness, to me, is more than physical activity; it’s a joyful and healing experience that can transform your relationship with your body.

​

My Coaching Philosophy

My approach emphasizes progress over perfection because every step forward matters. I focus on functional strength, joyful movement, and a trauma-informed understanding of fitness. Movement should feel like an act of self-care and empowerment—not punishment. Whether you’re new to fitness, returning after a break, or striving to push your limits, I’ll meet you where you are and celebrate what your body can do at every stage of your journey.

​
