ABOUT

MY STORY

The daughter of a family that valued hard work, faith, and showing up — I grew up on the beaches of Southern California, a volleyball player, a beach lover, a runner, and a girl who believed that the body was something to be pushed, tested, and occasionally dragged past its limits in the name of competition.

I became a Doctor of Physical Therapy not because it was the safe choice — but because I could not imagine spending my life doing anything other than helping people get back to the version of themselves they thought they had lost. I chose physical therapy over medicine on purpose. Because the best medicine I have ever seen is not in a prescription pad. It is in a person who finally feels strong again. Who finally moves without pain. Who finally believes — maybe for the first time — that their body is not working against them.

For three decades I've worked with everyone. Neurological patients. Cardiac patients. Children as young as six years. Adults as seasoned as 100 years. And eventually — inevitably — I found my way to the world of elite sport. The Lakers. The Dodgers. The Rams. The Kings. PGA and Senior PGA golfers. Olympians. Super Bowl champions. People whose entire livelihood depended on their bodies performing at the absolute edge of human capacity.

And here is what I learned from working with the best athletes in the world: the thing that separates peak performers from everyone else is not just their physical training. It is their relationship with their body. Their ability to listen to it, trust it, and work with it instead of against it.

That insight changed everything about how I practice — and eventually led me to the work that has become my life's mission.

Six years ago I began the certifications and training that would completely reframe everything I thought I knew about the human body. What started as a deep dive into pelvic floor specialization became something far bigger — a discovery that changed not just how I treated patients, but how I understood human performance, strength, and healing at every level.

I call it the "Floor of the Core". It is the most overlooked, most undertrained, and most powerful foundation in the human body. And what I found is this: the pelvic floor is not an isolated muscle group. It is not a women's issue. It is not something you only think about after having a baby or turning 50. It is the literal base of human strength, stability, and vitality — for every body, at every age, at every level of performance. From the elite athlete on the field to the woman navigating midlife to the 70-year-old who wants to hike without leaking — it all starts here.

Once I understood that, I could not un-see it. And I knew I had to share it with the world.

And almost nobody was talking about it the way it needed to be talked about.

So I decided I would.

Along the way I have also navigated my own story — injury, motherhood, perimenopause, reinvention, the particular kind of reckoning that comes when you are a healer who has to learn, again and again, to apply your own medicine to yourself. I have run five marathons. I have had seasons where my body felt like a stranger to me. I have come out the other side of things I was not sure I would come out of.

I am over 60.  I still train. I still paddleboard when I can. I still run, jump, and prepare my body for the fun I intend to have. And I am more convinced than ever that the best chapter of life can be the one being written right now.

If you are ready to reconnect to your strength, reclaim your body, and live the full, unrestricted, purposeful life you were designed for — I am ready to show you how.

The floor is the foundation. Let's build from here.
