My Journey: From Multiple Injuries to Posture to Performance
My health journey began in 1974 and has never really stopped. I've lived a full, active life—one marked by adventure, hard work, and, inevitably, multiple injuries along the way.
In April 1991, a major car accident changed everything. As a passenger, I sustained injuries from head to toe: traumatic brain injury, spinal issues, fractures, soft-tissue damage, and a cascade of compensatory patterns that followed. That wasn't my only setback—over the decades, I've navigated sports-related strains, overuse issues from training and coaching, and the everyday wear that comes from pushing limits in high-performance environments.
Each injury taught me something profound: recovery isn't one-size-fits-all. What works for one person can fall short for another. Generic programs often overlook the unique asymmetries, breathing patterns, and neuromuscular habits that define how our bodies adapt (or resist) change. I know this on the deepest level—not just as a practitioner, but as someone who's been on the table, in the pain, and in the long, patient process of rebuilding.
That's why I pursued advanced training in Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) and Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS). I'm one of a small number of professionals worldwide credentialed as a Postural Restoration Trained™ (PRT) practitioner on the performance side—combining PRI's science of asymmetry and respiration with DNS's developmental movement principles. Holding an M.Ed., CSCS certification, and decades of experience across collegiate, professional, tactical, and private settings, I've seen firsthand how restoring joint position, muscle balance, and authentic breathing patterns transforms not just pain, but performance and quality of life.

Why PRI and DNS
Through Posture to Performance, I help clients—athletes, executives, dancers, everyday warriors—do what I did: listen to the body's signals, tailor the approach to their unique story, and move from survival to thriving. My writing (including the "Find Your Everest" series and the current "How Do I Know What My Body Is Signaling Me?") stems from this same place: turning personal crises into actionable playbooks for resilience.
My approach: honor the adaptations that got you here, then restore intelligently for the next chapter.
If my story resonates, let's connect. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, seeking better performance, or simply ready to feel more at home in your body, I'm here to help customize the path forward.
