Experience:

I love to meet people and learn all about them and how they have inhabited their body. My clients come from all walks of life. I have worked with college sports teams, professional athletes, and movie actors. I have worked in gyms and on athletic fields across the world as well as with outdoor adventure programs. I am a former college athlete and I find great enjoyment in activities like road and mountain biking, hiking, trail running, coasteering, parkour, and natural movement with my son as well as with friends old and new.

Approach:

I engage with clients from three angles; as a teacher and coach, as a therapist, and as a practitioner of my movement philosophy. I have spent my adult life as a student of movement and attaining a healthy lifestyle, focusing on how the body, mind, emotions, and environment affect well-being, behavior, and performance. I bring a partnership style approach that focused on the unique needs of each client. I love helping people create new levels of vitality, freedom, and peace in their bodies and lives.
