My passion: I find inspiration in the wide variety of clients I see. From kids to seniors, casual fitness fans to elite athletes, the most important and rewarding part of my job is to help you achieve your optimal results. Every person I work with is unique, and so are their goals, needs and expectations.

My approach: I use a hands-on approach—literally!—that incorporates different strategies, including prescribed exercises, manual therapy, dry needling, acupuncture, radial shockwave therapy, and soft tissue techniques to name a few. I work with you to develop a treatment plan that fits your needs and lifestyle.  I will also consult with other health professionals involved in your care. I embrace a multi-disciplinary approach because I believe there’s an important role for other health specialties, and my ultimate goal is to promote your health and wellness.

My life outside work: My life outside work: When I’m not helping clients, you’ll find me swimming competitively, cycling, hiking and other outdoor activities with my family.​

My personal philosophy:
Be patient, be positive, be persistent.
