About

My personal training career began 11 years ago, shortly after I graduated with my Kinesiology degree. In that time, I have studied and obtained credentials in resistance training, yoga, Pilates, functional neurology, and massage therapy. My current approach centers around resistance training, manual therapy (drawing heavily upon Active Release Technique), and functional neurology (using primarily Proprioceptive Deep Tendon Reflex or P-DTR). I use functional neurology and manual therapy to assess the nervous system and tissue quality of my clients. This information is then combined with advanced movement, strength, and joint mobility assessments. With this data I can best decide how I can serve my clients. Usually I have the tools to immediately help clients towards their goals, and when I do not I will dutifully refer out to the best practitioner available.Graduated with a degree in kinesiology in 2006. Started personal training. Later came certifications in pilates mat & reformer (SF, CA, US), yoga (Palampur, India), C.H.E.K. (corrective holistic exercise kinesiology) exercise coach (San Diego, CA, US), and C.H.E.K. holistic life coach level 2 (New York, NY, US).
