Physical Integration

Serious attention to health, capability, and how you want to live.

I work privately with people who want to think more clearly about movement, nourishment, recovery, and capability. Together, we sort out what is actually going on and build a physical foundation that holds up in real life.

Most approaches to health do not account for how you actually live. They give you a plan that works on paper and falls apart in practice.

I start with what is real for you right now. Your energy, your pain, your schedule, your history, and what you have already tried. Whether you are trying to rebuild something that is not working or take a healthy system to the next level, we find what matters most and build from there.

You want to make better use of your body, your habits, and your attention.

You want to feel stronger and more capable without it taking over your life.

You want someone who understands how movement, nourishment, and recovery connect.

You want an approach that is good enough to keep.

What we work on depends on your situation. It might involve movement, nourishment, recovery, pain, stress, or practical capability. The goal is something useful, sustainable, and grounded in real life, so you can carry it forward on your own.

I am based in Pittsburgh and work with people in person, virtually, and elsewhere depending on the situation.

Apply to work with me

I read every application personally before responding. Answer honestly and simply. That is what helps me understand whether I can actually help.

What are you no longer doing that you used to do, or wish you could be doing?

Tell me what actually helped, even if it only worked for a while.

Why now?

I work with a limited number of people and respond personally.

About

Photo here.

I spent three years training at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, graduated from the Air Force Academy, and was ranked sixth nationally in judo. I served as an Air Force Captain. I have been coaching since 2004 and studying how people actually change the entire time.

That background gave me a specific lens. Movement, nourishment, and recovery are part of the structure your life runs on. When that structure is working well, everything else gets easier.

I help people find forms of care that are effective, enjoyable, and sustainable.
