MEET THE Team
PRACTICE OWNER & BIOKINETICIST
I am a driven and determined young professional who has a passion for helping people through evidence-based movement and promoting living an active lifestyle. I want to help people improve their quality of life and reach their full potential. I am a firm believer in identifying the cause of a condition and/or injury in order to provide effective treatment. My passion for movement started when I was a teenager and experienced first-hand how exercise improved my quality of life. I enjoy doing strength training, running, as well as hiking. Our bodies were designed to move and to be cared for. Movement should be pain-free. I believe that the correct movement heals and that exercise truly is medicine.
"Your body is a temple. A gift from God. You will be blessed as you care for it." - 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
WHY AND HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
When we are consistently physically active, our bodies age at a slower rate and we remain independent, functional and pain-free for a longer period of time. If there is anything that prevents you from remaining physically active, such as an injury or chronic pain, or even being unsure of how to be physically active, I want to help you.
Movement is medicine.
Movement heals.
Improve your quality of life and start moving.
