Welcome to my website! I am a certified fitness and wellness coach with a unique background in martial arts, physique training, and mental health counseling. My approach to coaching is holistic, incorporating mind-body medicine, yoga therapy, hypnosis, and other therapeutic tools to help my clients achieve sustainable changes in physicality and behavior. I believe in challenging my clients to listen to their inner wisdom, identify their values, and transform their goals into action. Let's work together to achieve your wellness goals!

I help others develop personal programs combining various physical and mental well-being skills.

 I've been practicing yoga since childhood and I have over 2000 hours of training in Hatha, Raja, Kriya, and Karma Yoga. People ask me, "When did you start practicing Yoga?" I ask them, "When did you stop practicing?"  Yoga is a way to develop an attitude of play and awakening to the moment; as children, this comes naturally, but as adults, we begin to lose this attitude of play; through our yoga practice, we can reinvigorate this way of being. This practice of connecting the breath with the mind and body awareness informs all my movement practices calisthenics, martial arts, dance, and all areas of my fitness program. 

Breathwork is a modern term for an ancient practice of techniques that we incorporate into our sessions. Through the practice of pranayama, we get to tap into our subconscious and balance our emotions, calm our nerves, and clear our mind. We start with breath awareness or Anapanasati, and from there, we can explore more intense practices to alter our consciousness or softer practices to calm our nerves.

Trance Work is an umbrella term for hypnosis, yoga nidra, and other natural ways of creating altered states and transferring brain waves. I incorporate trance work and teach self-hypnosis to work on mental conditioning and motivation. Using hypnotic suggestions to reinforce positive habits, boost confidence, and overcome mental barriers that may hinder fitness and overall well-being progress.

Meditation and mindfulness incorporate stillness and movement, syncing each movement with inhalation and exhalation. Throughout the practice, engage the five senses by observing sights, sounds, textures, tastes, and scents mindfully apply Vipassana techniques to observe sensations, thoughts, and emotions without attachment, fostering present-moment awareness. To enhance concentration and insight, integrate Zen meditation methods, such as Zazen or koan contemplation. We will explore different techniques for activating different parts of the brain.

Thought Inquiry through the practice of Stoic Mindfulness, REBT, CBT, and therapeutic journaling. These skill sets allow us to explore our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions related to overcoming limiting beliefs and long-term physical, mental, and spiritual health.

This holistic program aims to cultivate physical acumen, mental resilience, and emotional well-being by combining physical exercise with mind-body practices and optional psychedelic exploration for those interested. It caters to individuals of all levels and encourages a comprehensive approach to health and wellness.
