I love life! There is nothing thing like it!
I am an athlete, musician, scientist, and most importantly for you - a body mechanic. Let me share my story if you have the time.
Life is amazing, but gee willickers does it have it’s ups and downs. A few days before my eighteenth birthday I won a massive Muay Thai kickboxing competition. A few days after my eighteenth birthday a car rear ended me so hard the windshields broke and I was bedridden for months in a neck brace recovering. I went from competing in the highest level of Muay Thai kickboxing to bedridden in a neck brace overnight.
Humbled! I invested immense energy and money working with doctors who, while great specialists in their fields, did not understand the integration of all the body’s systems to provide the type of consistent and viable care that I needed to heal optimally and return to vibrance.
Now, 14 years later, I’m more powerful than I’ve ever been in my body, mind and spirit and have built my career to bring that to you. It has been a supreme joy to to share that feeling of power, comfort and being at home within one’s body. It is an immense honor to help those with whom I work and contribute to their vitality. I am grateful every day for the journey that enabled me to cultivate this knowledge, skill, and experience that now enables me to provide care for transformation. My passion is building bodies to last a lifetime of joy!
