I found my passion in human anatomy and rehabilitation after sustaining various types of injuries through competitive sports in the past. Because of this, I am able to understand and relate to the stressors and demands that the body can go through.

I decided to pursue a career that could not only help rehabilitate, but to help empower individuals to take control of their health and pursue a healthy lifestyle tailored towards their living rhythm.

I believe in taking an intuitive approach to finding the root cause of my patient’s concerns. By learning about their daily routine a proper treatment plan can be curated ultimately bringing them back to their pain-free state.
