Pilgrim Strength: 
a journey to wholeness

Hello!  My name is Avery and I am the founder of Pilgrim Strength.  Welcome!  I am thrilled you are here.  I am still in the beginning stages of discerning what exactly this is going to be, but kept hearing a strong call from God to start with what I got!  I have just completed my Foundations 1 Pietra Fitness certification and will primarily be offering classes both virtual and in person.  All are welcome!  To learn more about Pietra Fitness, click here!

I am a native west Texan and came out to Colorado back in 2007 for college.  'Sko Buffs!  I lived in CO for 11 years before God called my husband and me to venture out east.  We lived in Pittsburgh for 3 years and fell in love with the Steel City where our first daughter was born.  In a surprising twist, God called us back to the Rockies where we are patiently and eagerly awaiting the arrival of our second child!

 

I am a cradle Catholic who, like most angsty teens, rebelled for a time before falling back in love with the Church.  Somewhere in my journey I anchored to the idea of a pilgrim and realized I am one.  A pilgrim is somebody who journeys towards a holy and sacred place.  I am journeying towards Heaven but I need help.  A lot of help.  We are body-soul composites (CCC 362-368) and we must strengthen our whole selves.  I strive to strengthen myself physically, spiritually, intellectually, and emotionally.  I am not an expert by any means but a humble servant who wants to invite others to journey together.  This is meant to be a community where we can dive further into our humanity, strengthen our selves, and pray for the graces to be sanctified.
