Me:
Since becoming a health and fitness professional in 2007, I've been fortunate to study under world class instructors and will continue to be a lifelong student. My (healthy) obsession with human anatomy, kinesiology, breathwork, corrective exercise, and biochemistry has allowed me success with a diverse range of clients. I work with athletes seeking a competitive edge, to clients wanting to improve quality of life and move without pain. Exercise should be purposeful and efficient but also fun and creative. I thrive on problem solving and being responsive but most of all enjoy teaching people self-mastery over their own physical and mental well-being.
