About me

For 25 years, I have focused on the anatomy of the body and how it moves in space. With extensive knowledge of musculoskeletal health science and injury rehabilitation, I employ specialized modalities to help realign your body, balance your muscles, and free up your nerves. I also design customized exercises and stretches that will help you with your balance and posture. I specialize in chronic pain and health issues, injuries, life changes, and difficult cases.
