I help people move better, feel better, and live with purpose.
My story
I grew up in Hawaii. Before I ever worked in a clinic or a weight room, I spent 7 years in the US Navy as an aircraft firefighter. That job taught me what it means to keep a body ready for hard work, and what it costs when it is not.
After the Navy I went back to school at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where I earned a BS in kinesiology and an MS in athletic training. Since then I have spent over two decades helping people train and recover in orthopedics, high school and collegiate athletics, private practice, tactical settings, and workplace health, safety, and ergonomics.
Along the way I kept seeing the same thing. The people who did best were not just the ones with the best program. They were the ones who learned to breathe well, move often, and live with purpose behind it. Movement Based Therapy is how I share that. Today I live and work in Eugene, Oregon.

Breathwork
Why these three pillars
Breath comes first because it connects to so much: posture, recovery, focus, and how you handle stress.
Movement is the work of moving well and with less pain, for sport, for your job, or for doing what matters most to you.
Ancient Wisdom is the innate intelligence humans have built up over time: tried and true traditions and universal laws we draw on to keep progressing, growing, and innovating. It is offered as philosophy and tradition, not as treatment.
Mindset is woven into all three pillars, not a separate one.
