I started lifting weights at eleven and fell in love with it. I studied how muscles and the nervous system work together. I earned a B.S. in Kinesiology at California State University, Northridge, and became a personal trainer at Equinox.
About nine months into that job, I had a surfing accident. I didn’t know it then, but I had broken a bone in my neck. What I felt was constant headaches and a body that no longer trusted movement. Specialists dismissed me, and physical therapy didn’t help.
So I built my own careful rehab plan. I listened to what my body could handle, and over about six months my symptoms settled. Months later, an MRI showed the fracture had healed.
Today I work with people whose pain or movement limits keep getting in the way of the life they want. Sessions mix hands-on bodywork with corrective exercise. It’s its own approach, not medical diagnosis or physical therapy. The goal isn’t to force a fix. It’s to help your body feel prepared again, one honest session at a time.
