Originally from Lake Tahoe, I’ve always had a love for the outdoors and an active lifestyle. That passion has translated into a deep commitment to helping others stay active, pain-free, and performing at their best.

Living in the vibrant, health-conscious community of the Bay Area continues to inspire me every day.

A Personal Note

PinnaclesPeaks_1920x1080-3343379924.jpg
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me traveling, hiking, running, or exploring National Parks with my son. Together, we’ve set a goal to visit all 64 U.S. National Parks before he graduates high school—a challenge we’re thoroughly enjoying!

I’m so excited to be part of this community and truly look forward to meeting you—and helping you on your journey to better health.

See you soon!
