Does this sound like you?

You didn't stop going to the gym because you wanted to, but because your back hurt every time you squatted, or your neck started talking to you mid-workout. Eventually, ignoring the pain became the easy option.

Maybe you've seen a chiropractor for some relief, Googled your symptoms, or tried to fix your form on your own… but the problem keeps coming back.

Somewhere along the way "just dealing with it" became your new normal. And now you’re just busy, and you have a habit of putting yourself last.

I work with active adults in Alexandria, Virginia who are ready to stop guessing and start understanding why their body is doing what it's doing. My approach is analytical and personalized; we figure out the root cause together, build your body awareness, and create a clear path back to the gym, the barbell, the trail, or whatever it is you've been missing.

No cookie-cutter programs. No temporary fixes. Just one-on-one care focused on getting you back to doing what you love- pain-free and confident.
