Hey there!

My name is Korinn Mowrey and I am a holistic life coach, fitness guru, and mom—amongst other things. 

I grew up in the professional dance world. This was the world of point shoes and frills, of late nights and layers upon layers of stage makeup. I spent years training and learning the ins and outs of dance, where I eventually jazz-handed my way up to the top. I went on to teach my own classes in a pro dance company. Now, this was the ‘80s. So much neon, every color leg-warmer you could think of. Men and women could both be entrepreneurs. But the perfect female figure was slim, elegant, and smartly dressed. As a dancer, the perfect figure was maintained by stepping on a scale every day, and eating half of whatever was on the menu that night.  A world of such expression in music and a movement-oriented culture can look different when your curves don’t make the cut and you lose yourself in the process of slimming down for the scale. 

Being mindful of my body and my natural pull for research, I soon entered an era of nutrition and hopped down the herbalism path. Learning about the most whole-food, back-to-nature ways of treating the body shaped a new future for me. I started using the term, Nutritarian, to emphasize the need of a whole-food, nutrient rich food culture…opposite to the diet culture which would help you lose weight but end up leaving you hungry and nutrient-deficient. I went on new adventures of sailing the seas, travelling to different parts of the states, falling in love and raising a family, and eventually coining another chapter, a bigger chapter. 

Makin Waves in Health and Fitness was just what my small-town, rural community out in Midcoast Maine needed. For years I taught fitness-dance classes, ranging from Latin Zumba to strength training to self-coined Dance2Fit, PowerTone, and Microflex classes. These classes were taught and curated for the sole purpose of life wellness. Students didn’t need to be stick-figures. They didn’t need to be under 25 years old, either. I built a business of coaching for the soul. I taught cardio-, strength-, and stretch-oriented classes daily; and personal training became a highlight of my career as I watched individuals I worked with one-on-one become the person of their dreams. Whether they wanted to lose weight, learn a dance routine, or simply lead a healthier lifestyle, I could do that for them. My approach of a person-first, needs based, body wellness direction diversified me from the diet- and slim-cultured adverts that take your money and pop you in a one-size-fits-all system. 

So this is where I am today. I’ve taught dance and nutrition at schools; I’ve performed on stages across Midcoast Maine, sharing my stories and findings; and I’ve given seminars to better enlighten the world on thoughts of health. I curate life wellness plans that are geared towards the individual, because there is only one YOU! Only you know what you need, and I want to help you achieve those needs. 

To a healthy future!
