I bridge the gap between "I used to be fit" and "I can do this." With over twenty years of experience, I’ve moved from rehabilitating stroke and spinal cord patients to empowering middle-aged professionals. My focus is simple: building the strength, endurance, and mobility you need to enjoy the backcountry without fear of injury.
