Hello
If you're looking for a personal trainer to smack food out of your hand and dictate what you eat, I might not be the right fit. But if you're looking for efficient training, injury prevention, and a focus on overall wellness that can shift your mindset and build the self-discipline to make lasting, healthy choices—then we might be a great match.
My Story
I became a personal trainer in 2007 to better understand how to exercise efficiently as a runner. Every two years, I attended fitness conventions for continuing education. At one of my earliest events, I came across a workshop called Pain Free that introduced the Egoscue Method. I didn’t fully understand it at the time, but the concepts resonated. I left with Pete Egoscue’s book in hand—though it sat unread on my shelf for years.
The truth is, I wasn’t in pain when I first discovered it. I was searching for something to help my niece, who suffered from chronic pain caused by Chiari Malformation. Over the years, I watched her go through countless medications and surgeries, none of which gave her relief. The system failed her. She lost her young life far too early—and it left me with a lot of questions.
Years later, when I found myself in debilitating pain that traditional methods couldn't fix, I remembered that book. I had tried everything—stretching, massage, physical therapy, even a steroid—and still, a simple step one day dropped me to the floor. I was desperate. So I sat down and finally read Pain Free.
That’s when everything shifted.
The whole book just made sense—the simplicity of it was almost deceiving. I started by trying two of the sequences, and when I stood up, my pain was gone. It didn’t last long, but it was enough to give me hope. Thankfully, I’d read that any relief, even if temporary, meant it was working—so I kept going.
Two months later, I was running again. Pain-free.
That experience didn’t just heal my injury—it gave me clarity, purpose, and a whole new way of seeing the body. I pursued a certification in the Egoscue Method and have been using it ever since to help others reconnect with their bodies, restore balance, and move with confidence.
So whether you’re navigating chronic pain, recovering from injury, or simply want to move and feel better in your body, I’m here to help. I'm a functional movement trainer who believes that good movement starts with proper alignment—and that we have to straighten before we strengthen if we want lasting results.
The Egoscue Method is a big part of my toolbox because it works—not just for pain, but for posture, performance, and everyday movement. I use it alongside strength and mobility training to create personalized programs that help you restore balance, build confidence, and move with purpose.
If you're ready to move smarter—not just harder—take a look at the Egoscue Method section below and try out a few basic movements. If they speak to you, let’s connect.
Your body isn’t broken—it might just be out of balance. Let's fix that, together.
What is The Egoscue Method?
The Egoscue Method is a form of postural therapy designed to eliminate chronic pain and improve physical function by correcting misalignments in the body. It was developed by Pete Egoscue, a former Marine who created the method to address his own chronic pain after being injured in combat.
Core Concept:
-
The body functions as a unit: Instead of isolating a single tight area, Egoscue uses a sequence of gentle, corrective exercises that work with the body's natural design to reestablish joint positioning, neuromuscular function, and full-body symmetry. This holistic approach leads to more lasting results, helping clients not just feel looser, but move better—reducing compensation patterns, preventing injury, and improving strength, mobility, and confidence in daily movement.
What It Involves:
-
E-cises (Egoscue exercises): Gentle, targeted movements and stretches tailored to realign your posture. These are often done daily and customized for each person.
-
Postural assessments: Practitioners look at how you stand, walk, and move, often using photos or video to pinpoint where your alignment is off.
-
No equipment needed: Most of the exercises can be done with just a wall, floor, chair, or towel.
Common Benefits Reported:
-
Relief from chronic pain (back, neck, shoulders, hips, knees, etc.)
-
Improved posture and flexibility
-
Better balance and energy levels
-
Reduced risk of injury
People often turn to the Egoscue Method after traditional treatments haven't helped, and it's especially popular among athletes and those dealing with long-term pain.
