 My oldest son. We share so much. And now we share this too.
His first outline. A full leg sleeve. It’s breathtakingly beautiful. He is an amazing person. I have so much respect for him. That he’d want to follow in my footsteps humbles me to the core. He has his OWN reasons. His journey will be different than mine and his lessons uniquely his own. ______________ I’ve rarely ever encountered negativity about my body suit. But there have been a couple of “what do your children think of you?” knife-in-and-twist-questions. I don’t respond. But now my son wears the answer. My children are proud. My children love me. And they are WITH me. On my last post on my new Instagram account @paintedladyelle I share a little bit more.

My WARRIOR journey began with a deep admiration & respect of Ellen de Werd’s mastery of exercise physiology. Combine that with her encouraging playful vibe and full body workouts choreographed to great music. The WARRIOR crew (instructors & participants) have kept me engaged with their supportive and friendly group dynamics whereby I leave each workout feeling tired yet stronger, and grateful. - Rhoda J.
