I help high-performing people identify the movement, mindset and nutrition tools and habits needed to continue to thrive.
When I discovered somatic breathwork, I recognized it as a tool for managing my Type A mindset, slowing down and facing tough emotions that I’d stuffed down in the pursuit of performance, only to realize that not dealing with them would do more harm.
Currently, I am holding space via virtual and in-person breathwork sessions with individuals and groups, and am developing programming that will integrate breathwork into a bigger-picture tool to help high performers process grief.
Working with clients facing very-specific concerns is not new to me. I started my work as a personal trainer with the Parkinson’s community after seeing the impact of the disease on my own father. I decided to get my personal trainer certification and utilize my background in martial arts to start the first Rock Steady Boxing program in the Pacific Northwest. I later trained PwPs (people with Parkinson’s) via one-on-one sessions in my Beat PD venture.
Below are some of the experiences and tools I use in my training.
