Being Active – Overcoming Challenges

I have always loved being active, whether it was through sports, working outside with my dad, or trying to match everything that my older brother could do. As a kid, I saw how strong my dad was, and I wanted to be that strong, too. After a childhood full of athletics, I experienced my own fairly serious physical setbacks in my late teens, and I quickly understood, and respected, just how pivotal even the smallest physical daily tasks are to our quality of life. A debilitating injury to my lower back left me with chronic pain, and in need of physical therapy. If not for the hard work of those physical therapists, I never would have been able to play soccer in college, let alone continue to play to this day, let alone pick up any weights. Navigating through that recovery, combined with my love for movement, was what brought me to enjoy the study and movement of the human body so much, as well as helping others love it, too.

Turning Goals Into Great Habits

I am continuously fascinated by the process of taking people’s goals, whether those are lifting heavier, being able to do a cartwheel, or mastering a dunk, and manipulating even the most common exercises, to cater to exactly what each person needs. Whether cartwheels or dunks are the goal, the ultimate accomplishment is when I can help my clients find a healthier, more functional, and ultimately, more enjoyable life. There is nothing more gratifying than the moment a client realizes just how capable they are!
