Who I Work With

Whether you’re just starting out or deep in your practice, I can help you build more strength, mobility, and confidence.

My clients are typically alternative athletes of all kinds:

  • Yogis and handbalancers

  • Acrobats and professional circus artists

  • Dancers, from pole to contemporary

  • Climbers, parkourists, movement enthusiasts, and more

  • No experience needed here. Maybe you’re new to movement, working towards your first handstand, feel limited by your mobility, or want to overcome your fear of being upside-down.

  • For you if you’re feeling stuck, facing skill plateaus, and just can’t seem to make progress on more advanced movements and goals.

  • If you want to uplevel your coaching expertise and understand anatomy at a deeper level that’s rooted in PT knowledge, I’m here to help.

  • If you’re facing an injury that’s holding you back from moving freely, let’s get you back on track.

Few coaches bridge the gap between physical therapy expertise and real-world training experience.
