My practice is rooted in the gym. I am far from a natural athlete - this didn’t stop me from playing sports growing up (Hockey, Track & Field, Football and Rugby). It wasn’t until I started in the gym did I realize that I didn’t have to be a victim of my circumstance. The gym showed me that I could improve my life by showing up and doing the work. This power is what I try to bring out in my clients, injured or not, you have the strength within you to improve. A major part of my practice is helping people realize they are more capable than they think through physical movement and skills teaching. The other aspect of what I do involves putting things into perspective. What are your individual day to day requirements? What would you like them to be in the future? I help my clients see what is possible by showing them the path to get where they want to be. I have worked with: Lifestyle changes, motivational coaching, balance training 55+ populations, Injury rehab, competitive athletes.
