About Me
I am a health coach, trainer, and a very happy new father.
​
My life's work is to help young and old alike direct the power of their mind to optimize their bodies and live extraordinary lives. My decade-plus of experience has lead to well over10,000 hours instructing exercise and solving biomechanical issues such as:
healing from injuries, overcoming pain, dealing with chronic pain and syndromes, improving posture, getting stronger, improving athletic performance, increasing energy, stamina, fitness, and changing the size shape and composition of my client's bodies.
​
One thing that my experience has made clear to me is, the clients that achieve lasting life-changing holistic health transformations always 1st change the way they think and feel about themselves. They change their relationship and the story they tell about themselves about their body first, and then their body changes physically.
​
That is why I combine exercise and wellness practices with perceptual and mindset coaching as a trained Demartini Method and Values Facilitator. This helps people transcend mental blocks helping to change the way they THINK while they exercise to achieve incredible results.
​
I am not a licensed mental health professional and DO NOT treat mental illness. But I do change minds, and that is necessary if you are going to change the story of your total health and wellbeing.
An $80 billion a year industry profits on people feeling insecure, vulnerable, and lost on how to be "healthy," "fit," or "well" conveniently they define what this means and change it all the time. Don't be a victim of anyone else's standards and definitions of a healthy you!
Let me help you become the author and authority of your health journey, set your own standards, and make becoming well fun, meaningful, successful, practical, reasonable and sustainable.
