Zoe Moller was born and raised in Bellingham. During her childhood, she had a wide variety of athletic interests but quickly narrowed her focus to Track and Field at Sehome High School. Her success at the long jumping gave her the opportunity to become a scholarship-athlete at Washington State University.

During her collegiate career, Zoe struggled with multiple injuries, and the sport that once gave her confidence and joy began to cause more mental and physical strife than good. After graduating from WSU with a degree in Psychology and Humanities, she returned to Bellingham and began working as a personal trainer as she evaluated her future goals. She found aptitude and joy working directly with clients to improve their own physical and mental well-being through exercise and movement. 

In 2019, Zoe was introduced to the Institute of Structural Medicine, where she was drawn to the full-body approach used to evaluate and address patterns of physical, mental, and emotional strain. Zoe enrolled in the 4-year program with the intention of becoming the type of practitioner she wished she had during her collegiate athlete days. 

After college, Zoe felt as though her body had become a cage—tense, stiff, and painful—and her mind often mirrored that experience with anxiety. While going through the Structural Medicine series in school, she began to experience an increasing sense of ease not only in her physical body, but in her mind as well. With each bodywork session, new ranges of motion emerged, unlocking levels of freedom, power and strength she had never experienced—even after years of athletic training. The combined effort of her body and mind to “let go” is something she’s equally as proud of as her athletic accomplishments. She is deeply grateful to Donna Bajelis for creating the Institute of Structural Medicine and the educational experience that profoundly transformed her ability to show up in the world.
