I’m an Osteopathic practitioner, trauma-informed coach, and lifelong student of the human body.
I’ve spent most of my life in motion: as an athlete, a seeker, and someone navigating pain from both injury and everyday life. That path led me to this work — a grounded, holistic approach to healing that supports your structure, your nervous system, and your full return to function.
Whether you’re recovering from burnout, living with chronic discomfort, or simply ready to feel more at home in your body — you’re in the right place.
This work was born from lived experience — not just study.
From Competitive Athlete to Osteopath — And Everything That Led Me Here
Growing up, I played everything: baseball, basketball, volleyball, cross country, football. I trained hard, got injured often, and was told more times than I can count that my pain was “normal” — or that I’d just have to live with it.
So I became a regular in physio clinics.
Not just trying to get better, but trying to understand what was actually going on inside my body. That curiosity turned into a degree in kinesiology and psychology, and eventually led me to osteopathy — where everything finally made sense.
What I saw in osteopathic treatment was different: no generic plans, no copy-paste exercises, and no endless cycle of managing symptoms.
Just real people, getting real results — through deep anatomical understanding and the belief that the body already knows how to heal.
That belief changed everything.
But even more powerful than the techniques was the philosophy behind them.
Because Temporary Relief Isn’t Enough
After years of pushing through pain, chasing fixes, and being dismissed by the system, I wanted to do this work differently.
Osteopathy treats the body as a whole — not just the part that hurts. It recognizes that when you remove restrictions, restore balance, and create safety, the body heals itself.
That’s what I offer: clear, hands-on support that listens to your body’s pace and responds to what it actually needs.
I also know that physical symptoms don’t always come from physical causes.
That’s why I offer trauma-informed coaching — to support the deeper layers: the nervous system dysregulation, people-pleasing, over-giving, and emotional patterns that impact how you feel in your body every day.
This work is about getting you free — not dependent.
And just like my clients, I’m still on that path too. This is who I am, off the table.
Movement is My Medicine — and Always Has Been
Even outside the clinic, I live in my body. Trail running, rock climbing, mountaineering, these aren’t just hobbies for me. They’re how I regulate, reset, and remember what it feels like to be in flow.
I’ve completed ultramarathons, spend weekends on mountain trails, and challenge myself in all the ways my younger athlete self would have loved. I also rest, read, study anatomy and trauma, and remind myself often that healing isn’t linear, and that strength doesn’t mean pushing through.
This blend of discipline and curiosity, of stillness and movement, is the same energy I bring into each session.
I’ve been the patient on the table. I’ve been the one seeking answers. That’s why I offer care that’s not only clinical, but personal.
I combine my clinical training with lived experience and a whole-person lens to support real, sustainable change — physically, emotionally, and systemically.
