My Story

As a former soccer player whose career ended due to injury, I became obsessed with understanding not just how to recover, but how to prevent injuries in the first place. This led me to pursue a PhD in Exercise Science, where I discovered that the best fitness programs are built on understanding individual biomechanics and physiology.

My Approach

Every body is different. I focus on teaching people to listen to their bodies and understand the why behind every exercise, not just the how.

"Movement is medicine, but like any medicine, the dose and timing matter."
