Movement is at the core of health.

And it's at the core of what I do.

Whether it's gardening, hiking, traveling, playing with your kids or grandkids, performing your sport of choice better, or simply being pain free in everyday life, quality movement is required. I can help you do all of those things with more strength, more balance, less pain and far more confidence.

My Process

First we assess your current situation and your goals. From there, we create a plan of action, customized to specifically address your needs. The plan may include different movement styles, but is always uniquely designed for you. Then you’ll start working your program, while learning lasting skills that will translate into better functionality and quality of life. 

My skill is teaching you new movement habits that elicit positive body change and enhance quality of life. 

During the past 20 years I've enjoyed extensive training with many wonderful teachers that deepened my understanding of human movement. These include the M.E.L.T Method, Stott Pilates, MovNat, YogAlign, Restorative Movement and core based training. Even in my very first training, Pilates, I specialized in Pre-hab/Rehab. I found helping people move better made me really happy. 

Restorative work has always been my specialty. While I've worked with people at both ends of the health spectrum and everything in between, I really enjoy teaching clients how to move better in order to free themselves from painful movement patterns and work towards healthy, pain-free movement. I have become skilled at breaking movement down to the components to make it easier for clients to understand and practice easily throughout the day.

In addition to movement, I teach mindful observation skills so that you can become your own movement detective. Once you begin to develop self-awareness, the changes you create in the moment and over time are observable.

We all want to move well, perform our daily activities and our favorite hobbies not only pain free, but also with confidence, and maybe even joy. If your daily life feels hobbled because of pain or you aren't moving well, that can dim the joy we feel for our activities. But movement is at the heart of recovery. Our bodies want to move, were designed to move and it's often a lack of movement somewhere in the body that causes pain, or it's movement being offloaded to a body part not well designed to do that movement. But learning how to move better, how to separate the parts and then re-integrate them can change everything.
