"I did too much yesterday. I walked 15,000 steps, did laundry, cooked, and baked. I woke up this morning with a sore back and usually I would take Advil and lay low to try to prevent my back from 'going out.' Instead, I did my Somatic exercises and voila! My back is much better and instead of losing a day I am moving. I am going to slow it down a little today but I do not have to stop.
Thank you for everything that you do. Know that you are appreciated."

"Erin has a wonderful ability to tap us into our bodies. I started seeing her for support with pain from a traumatic event. I've been doing yoga and various forms of stretching, a runner and very active for years. And I could not ease the recurring pain which was caused and rooted in my body due to trauma. In a much shorter amount of time than I was anticipating, I gained an incredible amount of pain relief. But the greater gift has been the way that my relationship with my body continues to shift. Erin has a way of supporting this engagement intuitively. Her 1-1 instruction is an incredible opportunity to get to know our bodies and release what no longer serves us, listen to the messages our body is attempting to share. If you're interested in deeply transformative and effective body work, look no further. Erin has skills, knowledge and intuitive ability to support pain free movement and a closer relationship with ourselves. Thank you, Erin!" ~ Kelley H.
“Somatic movement is the only thing that has given consistent relief from my lower back pain. Before coming to see Erin, I tried many different things: physical therapy, chiropractic and even had epidural injections. To be completely honest, I was very skeptical walking into my first session of somatic movement. Erin’s energy and approach made me feel really comfortable and about half way through I began to feel a change in my back. I walked out of that first session feeling relief that continued to increase. I continued to notice less tingling and pain with more flexibility and strength. My skepticism has been relieved. Also, I really appreciate being able to do the movements anywhere without special equipment. While I am able to do many of the exercises on my own at this point, I continue to benefit from in person sessions with Erin - her energy and gentle guidance are like nothing I’ve experienced before.” ~Corey S.
“The somatic movement series has increased my awareness of certain connections in my body that I was unaware of or had previously lost. By working on rebuilding these connections, I have increased my range of motion in places, relaxed places of tension, and reduced pain in chronic aches. I have also become more aware of what habitual movements or practices cause my pain and how to avoid doing that. The class is also simply relaxing and meditative; it is a unique experience to be so focused on such small movements for one solid hour. And, the skills I have learned are transferring into a personal practice I can implement anytime and anywhere. ” ~ Martha L.
"I have noticed that there is a difference in how I do my daily morning routine of cat-cow repetitions followed by some sun salutations. I am more conscious of the movements of the arch and curl and am more attentive of slowing them down and making them smaller with my mind more attuned to the movement and the moment." ~ Gere O.
“Thanks, Erin for opening up a new body awareness for me. All these years I have tried to muscle through the aches and pains believing that I would master a better way to move until you opened the door that has allowed me to trust what my body has been telling me all along and I haven’t been listening to. I love that I have at my fingertips a practice that helps me recognize my body’s needs and gentle ways to work toward greater balance. This is a tool I can use throughout my life. ”

"Somatics has been a wonderful and important addition to my [self-care] tools. I have had a lot of injuries, surgeries (replaced knees/hips, etc), arthritis and overall trauma to my body over the years. My body has learned to compensate so well that I tend to be disconnected from what it should be doing. Somatics with its small deliberate movements is allowing me to recalibrate my mind and body so that I am not in as much pain and I am able to move in ways I haven't been able to. It has been such a blessing and relief having access to this course and Erin is a wonderful instructor! I highly recommend finding a way of building somatics into your life! Anyone can do this!! ~ Nina Quinn
"I'm so happy to have found Erin and Good Health Is A Habit! I had been experiencing nerve issues for months that left me unable to use my hands fully without intense pain. After trying numerous things without much success, I came across Erin's functional fitness class. I was really interested in seeing how somatic movements could help alleviate some of the pain. A few weeks in I was already noticing a huge difference. By the end of the first 6 week session, the pain was almost gone and I was able to get back to doing the things I love like making jewelry. I also now have a much better understanding of how I'm moving and holding my body throughout the day and what adjustments to make.
I highly recommend not only the Functional Fitness class, but any class with Erin! She is knowledgeable, kind, welcoming and quickly makes you feel right at home. I look forward to class every Saturday morning!” ~ Rosie Bruce, owner of Ring Farm Designs
"I have lived an active life and as a result have a few injuries. Many of us are "programmed" to always push hard and make no excuses. Because of that, I was causing more pain in the interest of going full out all the time. Erin has helped me to meet my body where it is today.

"I have lived an active life and as a result have a few injuries. Many of us are "programmed" to always push hard and make no excuses. Because of that, I was causing more pain in the interest of going full out all the time. Erin has helped me to meet my body where it is today. By making some small adjustments, I work very hard and do not cause additional injury or pain. It's an ongoing process for me, so grateful to have Erin to help me along the way, she continues to help me kick my own butt!" ~ Adrienne C.
"Yesterday, John and I played golf for the first time in well over a year! I went into it thinking it was going to be a thoroughly mediocre round! I wasn’t sure I was going to find my swing, or have the coordination to fully engage the twist during the swing. But let me just say….I had the best round ever!!!! Woohooo!!! My drives were

I wasn’t sure I was going to find my swing, or have the coordination to fully engage the twist during the swing. But let me just say….I had the best round ever!!!! Woohooo!!! My drives were rock steady and full of power! I almost drove the green on the first hole! Holy Cow!!!! That NEVER happened before! And I had so much more energy and coordination throughout the round! I was even getting a full twist and follow through on my drives, which I always had a hard time doing before! THIS IS HUGE!!! HUGE I tell you! AND I OWE THIS ALL TO YOU!!!!! YOU ROCK!!!!! Thank you so much for getting me off the couch and moving in the right direction! It’s making a HUGE difference in EVERYTHING!" ~Regan M.
“Your exercises align perfectly with what the physical therapists want me to do. I am so grateful to have found you…Your work is just so so very impressive!” ~ Barbara Dunham
“I met Erin from Good Health is a Habit almost 4 years ago when I first moved to Waterford – I started doing personal training and somatic movement with Erin on a weekly basis.

“I met Erin from Good Health is a Habit almost 4 years ago when I first moved to Waterford – I started doing personal training and somatic movement with Erin on a weekly basis. She helped me prepare for my first hip replacement. I quickly saw the connection between how the movements were positively impacting my balance and strength. Fast forward, I have now been through 2 hip replacements and the recovery from both has been amazing. My doctor was impressed at how quickly I was able to get moving without any discomfort and support from a cane/walker, which I attest to the work with Erin. She provides each person with encouragement and is committed to helping them meet their individual goals. I will be a lifelong member of Good Health is a Habit.” ~ Fran T.

“I have taken yoga classes over the years and until Erin’s yoga classes I have never understood more clearly the why and the how of the poses, and what to be focusing on when adopting one. She is a patient, clear instructor and makes additional helpful connections to somatic concepts during her classes. My body always feels better!”
~Priscilla Treadwell
"Erin is a gifted teacher both in person and on line, Her verbal cues are clear, her pacing is perfect and she is respectful of the variation in experience among students by providing alternatives ways of doing things so no one is left behind. Moving from in person to zoom during COVID was challenging. Erin mastered the transition. The on line experience with her is exceptional.” ~Rich Orr

"Following retirement and relocation to rural Maine, I never expected to be blessed with a top-notch yoga studio and instructor at my doorstep. That is what we are blessed to have here in Waterford in the person of Erin Girzone and her business Good Health is a Habit. With the help of husband Ed, she is aiding many local residents in their efforts to live long and active lives." ~Robert S.

“I signed up for Erin's Virtual Movement Membership because I wanted to introduce more movement into my routine and making it into the studio during class times felt like a hurtle for me. The flexibility of being able to access the classes from home at any time was a huge appeal. While that might be true for any online program, I chose the program through Erin and GHIAH because I absolutely love the way Erin teaches. Her knowledge of anatomy and physiology and the way that she translates it through her classes allows me to gain a better understanding of how my body works and the ways it wants to move. I also really enjoy the variety of classes offered. Between yoga, somatic movement, and functional fitness, I feel like I can piece together a weekly workout routine that flows with my needs at any given time. I have even taken GHIAH's Virtual Movement Membership classes while traveling and that was a true gift to have the grounding routine of my workouts accessible to me anywhere! Thank you Erin for this amazing offer. I can not say enough good things about it!” ~Adrienne Carroll
