My Story
Years ago, I was dealing with chronic pain that doctors, PTs, and chiropractors couldn’t explain and couldn't solve.
I did all the “right” things — imaging, strengthening, massage, stretching — and still struggled with chronic low back pain that limited my life.
Then I discovered Coaching The Body® and trigger point therapy. I resolved my own pain, and became obsessed with understanding why so many people stay stuck in pain despite doing everything “right” according to mainstream medicine.
Over the course of 10 years, I became the lead clinician and an instructor at Coaching The Body Institute in Chicago, IL, solving the toughest pain cases as well as teaching and evolving the CTB methodology and curriculum.
I’ve helped 400+ people reclaim their bodies and lives using an approach grounded in science, anatomy, and results — not temporary fixes.
I've trained hundreds of manual therapists and fitness/yoga professionals to restore pain-free movement in their clients.
I moved to Aurora, CO in 2020 and continue my mission here in relieving pain and empowering others with neuromuscular methods that work.
