A Rehabilitation Journey that has Evolved Into a Passion For Helping Others…

My calling to movement and manual therapy manifested from my personal struggle with injuries, poor posture, and chronic pain. My youthful love for adventure and extreme sports left me with significant physical trauma. By the age of 18, I had fractured a bone on every limb, was suffering from debilitating posture and struggled daily with back pain.

My personal frustrations with my limitations developed into an obsession to rehabilitate my body. The progress I was making ignited the inspiration to coach others on a similar journey. It’s been 17 years since I recognized this as my noble purpose and the fire is far from burning out. My humble beginnings as a personal trainer have evolved into a daily pursuit of evolving a unique & integrated therapeutic approach to treat a large variety of human conditions. In an attempt to quench my thirsty curiosity, I’ve dabbled in the continuing education realms of fitness, therapeutic exercise, massage therapy, yoga, neuroscience, and osteopathy.
