“I love working with the running community because it allows me to connect with all walks of life. From the elite athlete who needs to improve their run performance for sport all the way to the individual who is looking to learn about running and get started on their fitness journey. Running is a task our bodies are designed for but we often encounter roadblocks that limit our ability to progress our running. My job is to figure out the "why" behind a runner's "roadblock". Every individual has specific needs to improve efficiency or reduce pain. There is not a one size fits all approach when it comes to this population of athletes. My goal is to compliment the amazing run coaches that are in the community by addressing anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics of a runner's individual movement.”
