Braving Wellness

Braving Wellness is a Baltimore-based fitness and wellness practice led by Sam Stuart, a licensed clinical social worker, trauma-informed personal trainer, and pregnant and postpartum athleticism coach. Combining her mental health and fitness experience, Sam offers collaborative coaching that emphasizes consent, self-compassion, nervous system regulation, and a supportive mind-body connection. Services include one-on-one consultations to discuss clients’ backgrounds and goals, breathing techniques, foundational movement, and suitability for personal training.

Trauma-informed personal training provides individualized, body-aware movement support, while a four-week group strength series welcomes people of varied athletic backgrounds and includes tailored coaching, check-ins, and exercises for core and pelvic floor rehabilitation. Braving Wellness also hosts a pay-what-you-can support and movement group for non-birthing partners, co-parents, and chosen family navigating the transition to parenthood; babies are welcome. The practice does not offer diet or weight-loss services.

Braving Wellness is located at 410 Fitness, 3601 Clipper Mill Road, Baltimore, Maryland, and can be contacted by email or phone
