My Story

Sometimes the biggest transformations come from the hardest moments. This is more than just a before-and-after picture—it’s the story of how I turned pain, loss, and struggle into a mission to help others transform their lives.

 

When my mom passed away from cancer and I went through a divorce, I made the life-changing decision to become sober and take control of my health. That decision set me on a path of healing, self-discovery, and, ultimately, a passion for empowering others to achieve lasting health and performance.

 

My journey to healing began when I started exploring the power of food, particularly through an anti-inflammatory diet. Through this, I lost 80 pounds and freed myself from years of chronic pain, and alcohol addiction.

 

With over two decades of experience as a bodywork specialist, I’ve dedicated my life to understanding how the body heals and performs. After injuries as a football college athlete, I trained in neuromuscular therapy. My time as a paramedic and firefighter in LA County gave me even deeper insight into recovery and resilience.

 

I use a practice-based philosophy to listen, problem-solve, and refine customized programs for clients, delivering tangible and sustainable outcomes. As a bodywork, I’ve worked with elite performers, including Alex Rodriguez, the St. Louis Blues, the Kings, and the casts of Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, and Rent.

 

Since 2019, I’ve developed transformational comprehensive meal and lifestyle program for top professional athletes, A-list celebrities, artists, entrepreneurs, and Broadway performers. One of my latest project was working with actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson to prepare him for his role as a superhero, Kraven The Hunter. He needed to gain 40 pounds of muscle, so I designed a superhero meal plan and created specialized superfoods to fuel his transformation.

 

My mission is to help people achieve new levels of health, healing, and performance through practical and lasting strategies.
