Philosophy
“In the absence of good health, nothing else matters. That’s why my life’s mission is to help others reach optimum health and have fun getting there. Life’s too short to spend it feeling less than great every day. Health is not convenient. My job is to help you maximize your results while minimizing the time you spend in the gym. Plus, since there is so much conflicting information out there as to what’s good for us and what’s not, my other job is to sort through all of that and help you figure out what’s going to work best for you—to be your “wellness navigator”, if you will. I genuinely love what I do!”
