I enjoy teaching and coaching kids of all ages.  I am engaging, encouraging and educational in my approaches.  I have experience as a youth athlete myself, including multiple injuries and rehabilitation.  I understand how hard pain and injury can be.  I take time to slow down and help kids and teens work through their obstacles, so that they may become stronger, healthier and more mindful in their bodies. Injury and pain are hard, but it also a great time to learn how the body and mind work and how to use it all better.  New perspectives can be profound and can last a life time. 
     Potential is an unrealized or undeveloped ability.  When we are injured, experiencing pain, or in the process of rehabilitation, our bodies are stuck in unhelpful patterns of movement.  I use soft tissue therapy, mindful strength training, and functional movement exercises to wake up the brain and change patterns of movement.  Most of all, I believe in fostering curiosity and self empowerment; that through learning some fun tips and tricks, paying attention, and working hard, we have way more potential than we ever realize.  I enjoy helping kids and teens realize and/or develop these abilities for life long health and adventure.
