What I Offer
An open, honest, truly caring and nurturing space for personal reflection, healing, and growth towards your ideal Self-Image.
My approach is to guide you through the necessary process of deep introspection that leads us all to experiment with the ways we move through life.
To embrace and invest in the potential we carry for healing, we must challenge our perceptions of what works for each chapter of life and what does not. Just because we survive a past experience based on choices we credit ourselves for making does not mean the same choices remain beneficial indefinitely. When looking for a way to step into new states of being which are ideally more expansive and freeing than the last, it is often important to let go of how we survived up to the present before a new chapter can begin.
Health does not work backwards. We cannot achieve a life that looks like we have initiated the Self we see in our dreams by trying to return to a state of being we once had. There is a time and place to honor where we came from, but this practice is distinct and separate from the vision we must cultivate for our futures.
If you are unwell, and want to see a real lasting difference in how you feel in your daily life, it means you have to change. It means trying new ways of living. It means not giving up when progress eludes you. It also means you are being called to embark on a journey where momentum will come only when you learn to embrace moments of discomfort as the blessings that they are.
Real health only comes through celebration of these signals that something does not belong, that words are left unspoken, that parts of you have perhaps been forgotten, and that your Truth is trying to call for you through what means we as humans possess to communicate with our Selves. For us to thrive, for health to be fully expressed, the first relationship we need to heal is the one we hold between our minds and our hearts.
My ‘job’ in our relationship is to assist you in learning to recognize, understand, appreciate, accept, and act on the signals our bodies give us. In doing so, the very sources of our discomfort become starting points for an open dialogue between body, mind, and spirit. This conversation can lead us into new levels of comfort in our own skin and trust in our ability to heal.
As a new self-relationship grows roots, we can also find trust in our passions and desires which breeds confidence in our ability to change. From this adaptive state of being, I believe any human can act on the creation of what idea of life many of us only ever long for. What was longing becomes seeking, and where lack of direction once stemmed from, a True North arises.
“Being who you love to be is far more healthy and fun than being who someone else wants you to be.”

What is a Chek Practitioner?
World Class Health and Fitness Professionals
CHEK practitioners are the only group of healthcare facilitators in the world that specializes simply in helping people understand what it means to live in support of your own human needs. We are made to be incredibly adaptive to a variety of environments on Earth. The built environment of modern society is not among them. Likewise, relationships in our post-modern sociological climate offer their own challenges that often take us away from supporting ourselves in the ways we need. For humans to thrive, we need an environment, nourishment, emotional and personal support akin to what we evolved to expect from our World, from ourselves, and from our peers. Sometimes in modern life, to arrive at place and time that reflects this type of lifestyle supportive of human health, a great deal of change is required.
It doesn’t matter how much you are struggling with your health, how old you are, or in what shape you are in. Chek Practitioners believe everyone is capable of change. We believe that the human body, mind, and spirit are not only able to grow, but that we are meant for growth. Change is a scary concept only when we avoid it. In reality, humans thrive in environments and situations that force us to change. It is when we are at our best, but only when we listen to the call and allow adaptation to occur.
That is where I come in. Students of the CHEK Institute are recognized world-wide as industry leading experts in holistic healthcare, compassionate space holding, nutritional healing, lifestyle design, rehabilitative and therapeutic exercise, and functional training.
We help you learn to identify and listen to the signs your own body is giving you. Those notifications we receive when our bodies and minds are out of balance or overwhelmed (such as pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression, fluctuations in weight, skin conditions, sleep problems and digestive issues) are not usually signaling us that we need more medication or a day off or more time in front of the TV. Our bodies are letting us know that something is wrong. When we begin to listen, the messages from within our bodies change as well. They shift from grievances or roadblocks that keep us from living the life we wanted, to valuable allies and guiding lights that bring us closer to how we are meant to live. We are meant to live as happily, healthfully, graciously, humbly, and uniquely fully expressive versions of our selves.
What makes my Vitalistic Health and Lifestyle Guidance different?
The Power to Heal Comes from Within. I operate under the belief that the human body is designed to be a self-sustaining, self-regulating, self-healing system of intelligent design, animated by an innate wisdom permeating every molecule. If given the space and opportunity, the body will recover from any interference or ailment present within.
Healing does not occur from the introduction or removal of material or information - Healing comes in the form of a response from the innate intelligence present in our bodies to any and all stimuli. Healing happens constantly of its own accord, and is fully present in its fullest capacity at all times.
It is only when accumulation of interference from our environment, living habits, toxins, emotions, physical damage, stress, and repressed traumatic events overcome the body’s capacity to regulate healing that we begin to see signs of dis-ease manifest and signs of health decline.
All-inclusive Health Analysis - I take a REAL Whole-istic approach. Every factor is taken into consideration to develop step-by-step, carefully tracked, adaptive plans toward living your best life – no matter where you may be in your journey toward health and vitality. Sleep. Movement. Breathing. Meditation. Nature. Nutrition. Community. Gratitude. Passion. I celebrate who you are and walk with you toward embodying your full potential.
Collaborative Approach - I investigate “root causes” WITH you, not for you, so you can take back control of your health and live life on YOUR terms. No one understands your body more than you do. Therefore, I listen to, value and acknowledge your opinions and experiences. If any condition presents itself I can’t help with personally, I am quick to refer out to a vast multi-disciplinary network of experts in various healthcare fields, or help you vet an appropriate practitioner near you.
My Ultimate Goal is to make you your own greatest catalyst for healing and growth. I support my clients as they are empowered to take responsibility as their own primary creators of balance and well-being. My job is to lead you down the path of personal discovery until you outgrow me, and hopefully go on to lead by example as an inspiration for others to follow.
Working In - It is all too common today in the health industry to see either exercise prescribed, or rest. Nothing in-between. Recovery from training is sometimes walking, sometimes stretching, or maybe a yoga-based practice. But even most yoga and mobility exercise in America today is focused on exertion. How long can you hold a pose? How intense can it be? How deep can we make our stretches? Our nation is addicted to exertion – where focus is either on energy expenditure and breaking down tissues or on being completely sedentary.
I provide what’s missing in this modern fitness paradigm. CHEK Practitioners call it ‘Working In’ as coined by Paul Chek. These are modalities in your programming that actually build more energy than you expend. You leave being more awake, more energetic, and more resilient.
Principles to Live by - I don’t tailor your life to my design. I help you identify your values, discover who you really are, and create the life you want for yourself as your truth is revealed.
