Meesh 

Meesh is a living testament to embodying growth, healing, and creativity. Her lifelong passion for dance led her to rhythmic gymnastics in her youth, launching a 13-year career that culminated in elite-level competition—representing the USA on the world stage and training for the Olympics.

After retiring, Meesh earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. During her studies, she found peace in strength training, but she soon realized that chronic pain and body imbalances were hindering her movement and well-being. This awareness sparked a deep commitment to the mind-body connection, inspiring her to pursue certification as a Personal Trainer with a specialization in functional, pain-free movement.

To share her passion for mindful movement, Meesh founded Live The Question LLC, where she teaches others to cultivate body awareness, connect with their breath, and move from a place of intuitive knowing. Through her work, Meesh empowers people to experience freedom in movement and to live with a greater sense of harmony and self-awareness.
