Welcome to your movement laboratory

Being human comes with a simple universal prescription for your overall vitality: MOVE, KEEP MOVING, MIX IT UP!

We all got the medicine, built-in.  As life unfolds, you need to re-formulate it in your own movement laboratory.  Especially when you feel a pebble (or even a rock) in your shoe from injury, surgery, pain, illness, chronic stress, fear of falling, overweight, fatigue, depression, or major life changes. 

Are you looking for a compassionate, well-rounded trainer/coach? Do you prefer to train in-person, rather than through a virtual program? I would love to support you on your journey. I’ll design a structured movement program with you, and will guide you to learn new skills. You can count on me to encourage and to challenge you! 

We all know it's not easy to shift our priorities and to see beyond movement hurdles. It can be tough to activate energy, confidence, and willpower to get started. Our brains are very smart in tricking us into energy conservation.  This is essential in survival conditions, but unhelpful in our sedentary society. 

So ... getting started is not going to be magically better, easier, or cheaper tomorrow. No one else will do it FOR you, but I'll be there WITH you. The magic is: once you are past the hurdle and get more energy, everything you do will feel better and easier.  

Take a deep breath ....... and team UP with your body!
