My Licenses & Certifications

ISSA Specialist in Strength & Conditioning

Until recently, most people believed that power athletes are born and not made. That has changed. Modern training techniques can make anybody faster, stronger, and more powerful. Athletes at all levels - from grade school to the NFL - can sharpen their competitive edge with the help of an expert trainer. As a certified specialist in this area, I can help you expand your body's capacity for challenging athletic feats while remaining strong and free from injury.

ISSA Bodybuilding Specialist

When most individuals think about the sport of bodybuilding, images of big, dumb guys grunting and throwing weight around are often conjured up. This could not be further from the truth! Serious bodybuilders are part athlete, part scientist, and part artist. As a specialist in this area, I can provide training, recovery, motivational, and nutritional strategies to help you achieve maximal muscle growth and optimize physical appearance.

5. Behavioral and Habit-Based Coaching

• I often employ strategies to help you make lasting changes by focusing on behaviors and habits that influence
  
  eating patterns, rather than just quick fixes. This encourages a healthier, more balanced approach to nutrition.

  goals. I can adjust your plan as needed, monitor progress, and provide motivation and accountability along the way.

9. Improved Digestive and Overall Health

• ISSA Certified Nutritionists can offer strategies to improve digestive health and manage issues like bloating, food sensitivities, or gastrointestinal discomfort through dietary adjustments.
