My favorite client story

Recently I began working with a client who had scoliosis. At first I was slightly daunted when I saw the various divots and valleys that defined her uniquely shaped spine. I doubted myself and my skills momentarily but I chose to look at this new situation as a chance to grow and mature as a professional. I read extensively about scoliosis and as we worked together her spine slowly and consistently began to straighten. It gave me great pleasure to see her visible joy as her noticeable hip-drop began to slowly level. Her awareness of her body began to grow and she often tells me of how she feels her posture has improved. She sleeps better, no longer gets migraines and her overall outlook on training has gone from negative to positive. We still work together and which each session she grows and moves with strength. It gives me such pleasure to work with her because she has allowed me the opportunity to grow as a professional.

My training experience

I formally began my training career in 2013 working at a Boutique Madison Avenue gym up until 2016 when my wife and I branched out and pursued our own practice. Prior to 2013 I informally trained several of my friends, educating them on correct movement. Movement has and always will be my passion. in 2016 I started working as an independent trainer for a boxing gym called WTF to pursue my interest in martial arts. This diversified me as a trainer and taught me a new skill. I have several different certifications and pride myself on my diverse repertoire of skills. Recently I completed my qualification in Ki-Hara Resistance Stretching and Ohashi Shiatsu Massage. Although 4 years of formal experience may not seem extensive my knowledge is that of a Master Trainer.
