Like many of my clients, I’ve spent a lot of time carefully and fearfully trying to avoid triggering the debilitating, chronic pain that had made a simple thing like grocery shopping feel like a grueling Olympic event for me. 

My health journey led me through the full gamut of CT scans, X-rays, and MRIs. I consulted an orthopedist, a physical therapist, an occupational therapist, and a massage therapist. While each had done their best to help me, I was unable to receive a clear diagnosis — or a solution.  I was referred to a physiatrist for pain management.  Not being satisfied with the idea of a life of simply managing pain symptoms, I made a deep commitment to do everything I could to get better and started on my journey to rebuild myself. During my recovery process, I studied the impact of repetitive stress injuries and learned how to recondition my body correctly, safely, and effectively. 

I became a personal trainer and holistic health coach because I understand the frustration and uncertainty that comes with chronic pain. I want to use my experience and education to help others live lives free of pain and re-engage with the activities that bring them joy. 

I am committed to providing the highest quality of service to my clients, whether I am performing their assessment, designing their program, or guiding them through an exercise. Wherever you might be right now in your health journey — however you might feel in your body — I hope you’ll join me on this path toward optimal health so that we can express to the world and in our lives the very best that we have to offer.
