My Goal
My goal as a personal trainer is to establish a connection with each of my clients and incorporate a personalized, holistic plan built around each client’s goals by applying patience, compassion, eyes and ears to determine a person’s state of mind and physical abilities to inform a physical training plan, avoiding a generic path that focuses only on strength training. I view my clients not merely as a collection of muscles and ligaments, but as complete people with history, feelings, and struggles. I often work with clients handling chronic disease and disabilities, and promote maintained function and quality of life as opposed to simply “building muscles.” I often involve practices based on Tai Chi and Qi Gong principles to help my clients feel “stronger” in body and mind.
