Empower Your Body,
Elevate Your Mind

My approach is holistic and individualized. That is, I seek to understand you as an individual, and work from a place that seeks to grow the connection between your mind, body, and spirit.

We start with an initial consultation where we chat about where you’re coming from, and where you’d like to go. Since each of us carry unique histories, I can only expect that we all have diverse goals that will require unique ways of getting there.

Some areas where I have developed key expertise and experience, and especially enjoy working to help others, include:

1. High functioning individuals dealing with performance related anxiety (e.g. rumination impeding effective or consistent decision-making around nutrition, recovery, and training, etc.)
2. Those who want to learn dynamic Olympic Weightlifting movements but are concerned about injury risk and mobility limitations
3. Those who seek to improve their athletic performance in their chosen sport (e.g. volleyball, swimming, running, martial arts, etc.), but feel a lack of strength, explosiveness, or performance anxiety holding them back
4. Active adults who have been dealing with long-term movement related pain (low back-, knee-, shoulder-, neck-pain, etc.) and movement limitations (stiffness in the ankles, hips, hamstrings, shoulders, chest, etc.), and want to move freely and with confidence again.

I will be curious to learn about your biggest goals, whether that is in training and even perhaps in life, and what you feel are some key things that have limited you from getting there in the past.

Through a collaborative and attentive discovery process, we develop a plan to restore any movement pains and limitations, build necessary functional movement capabilities, and work confidently towards creating the fitness lifestyle you want.

Failure and setbacks are an inevitable part of growth. This process means that you will actively be creating and pursuing goals meaningful to you. This also means that you are also actively confronting your limits.

During my time as a coach, I’ve had the privilege of working collaboratively with my clients to restore effectively, gain mastery of multiple domains, and enjoy challenging and overcoming limits. From this experience, I have also noticed a tendency that during failures, even the best of us can direct our harshest inner critic towards ourselves, and confidence quickly spirals down.

This is understandable, as challenging our limits, by definition, should make the best of us afraid. The unfortunate part is that in some cases, many talented and driven individuals can begin to avoid challenging themselves meaningfully, to avoid the spiral of inevitable failures.  

As a coach, I find that these liminal spaces offer us the greatest opportunities for personal growth. It is here where I received the greatest value from my own coaches throughout my life. I recall one of my coaches once saying to me, “if you’re struggling with something in one aspect of life, there’s a good chance that you’re struggling with that same exact thing in every aspect of your life.”

That has certainly turned out to be true in my life. Over time, I began to realize how confronting a sport, fitness, or movement limit was not too unlike the same limits I experienced in my career, and mental patterns in my personal life and relationships with others.

One key area where coaches can help to create meaningful change is through the relationship itself. A good coach, in my opinion, should ask questions, communicate effectively, and understand where each client is at any given point in space and time. Only through a deeper understanding of each person, as an individual, can a coach know precisely when and how to intervene. I believe doing each of these tasks well requires that the coach is equally committed to growing themselves, by continually working on themselves and their craft.

I encourage and look forward to heading these challenges with you. While it goes without saying, it’s worth saying anyway, that I find it critical to work from a place of empathy and compassion.

Feel free to reach out for an initial consultation with me. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
