I didn’t come to fitness through sports or performance. I came to it through pain.
I was injured in my 20s while working a desk job — the kind of injury that sneaks up on you quietly through long hours of sitting, poor posture, and the belief that being “active enough” would somehow be enough. It wasn’t. My body was already breaking down long before most people expect it to.
That experience forced me to start asking better questions: How am I supposed to live and work for decades without pain? What kind of movement actually protects my future, not just my present?
Yoga was my first step
It helped immensely with awareness, flexibility, and stress, and it gave me a relationship with my body that I’d never had before. But over time, I realized it wasn’t enough on its own. I was mobile, but not strong enough. Calm, but not resilient enough.
So I added walks and hikes. That improved my energy and cardiovascular health, but still, something was missing. I was spending more time, more money, and juggling multiple practices — yet I wasn’t addressing the full picture of long-term health.
Eventually, I landed on a combination that changed everything: intelligent strength training, purposeful cardiovascular work to improve VO₂ max, joint-protective movement, and posture-focused training — all integrated into a time-efficient, sustainable system.
That’s where my philosophy aligns so closely with Dr. Peter Attia’s view on longevity. Like him, I believe that age-related decline isn’t inevitable. Loss of muscle, poor metabolic health, joint pain, and frailty are not just “part of getting older” — they are often the result of not training for longevity early enough.
My online studio courses are built from this lived experience. They’re designed for people who don’t want to waste years bouncing between trends or accumulating injuries. The weekly program focuses on:
- Building and preserving muscle to support metabolism and independence
- Improving cardiovascular capacity to protect long-term heart and brain health
- Protecting joints and posture so daily life stays pain-free
- Doing all of this efficiently, without needing endless workouts or expensive add-ons
This matters to me because I know what it feels like to be young and already limited by your body. I also know what it feels like to reverse that trajectory.
My goal isn’t just to help people move today — it’s to help them build bodies that will support the lives they want to live for decades to come.
