"When Trenice sets her mind on something, her determination moves not just from her thoughts but straight from her heart. During our somatic sessions, she guided me with such gentleness through some of the most uncomfortable sensations I'd been carrying in my body. With her support, I was able to release them and step into a deeper sense of clarity and inner peace. Working with Trenice means being cared for in a loving, nurturing, and supportive way. She honors your vulnerability in a way that feels rare and sacred. With her, you don't just heal, you begin a meaningful pathway to yourself and the wholeness you've always deserved.

I worked with athletes and student of all ages kindergarten to Collegiate and Professional. I like to encourage Athletes that they are able to move and progess through a learning process. The process of learning a skill, technique and different aspect of the Basketball game.

With over 25 years of basketball playing experience, I cultivated my own skills and passion. I wasn't training with fancy trainers, I was simply putting the work in needed. This "back against the wall" mentality led me to division 1 basketball and playing professionally overseas for 6 years. When injuries took over, I began training aspiring pros coming out of college with no contract. I focused on the building of two players and both ended up getting contracts overseas. I train high school and middle school kids as well, but they must have a deep passion to get better. My focus is on personalized training to elevate each player's game in the respective ways needed for the individual. I bring seriousness, passion, planning, execution and expertise to a commitment of helping young aspiring hoopers excel.

"I was always a really good shooter but after training with G, my 3pt % went up almost 10% in a single season.
