My Journey

The best health & fitness advice online

My journey in fitness changed in 2011 when I realized that I had been working hard in the gym for years with no progress to show for it. There is a time and a place for working hard, but I was stuck in that working hard wasn’t getting me what I wanted. So I started to study.

I don’t believe there is any magic bullet one-size-fits-all solution to helping people grow and improve. Because of this, I have pursued a wide variety of skills in movement, breathing, and metabolic assessment in order to be able to help as many people as possible.

I know what it is like to be frustrated with a lack of progress, not knowing the right thing that is needed to move forward. For many, we are so accustomed to living with stress and discomfort that we don’t know what it really feels like to feel good!
