My Philosophy & Why I Teach

My approach is rooted in a strong focus on form, helping you understand the “why” behind every movement pattern and the muscles driving them. While I’m here to encourage you through a great workout, I believe there is immense strength in listening to your body when it needs you to scale back. I aim to bridge the gap between scientific movement principles and intuitive physical awareness, ensuring you feel supported whether you are pushing your limits or finding a moment of recovery.

What you can expect in my class:

• Detailed focus on alignment and muscle engagement backed by my Kinesiology background.
• An encouraging environment that values both hard work and mindful pacing.
• A rhythmic, upbeat playlist of House and R&B that makes working out feel like dancing.

My Movement Journey

I originally came to the ALL Method to rehabilitate old injuries with Katie’s help. I was quickly fascinated by how the method integrates the nervous system and mental state into the physical healing process. After watching my own body transform and finding relief from a decade of chronic back pain, I knew I had to dive deeper. I completed my mat certification in 2024, which completely shifted my perspective on movement. I now apply this methodology to my own practice and my teaching, constantly expanding how I help others move with more freedom.

How the ALL Method changed my movement:

• It provided the missing link between my academic knowledge of Kinesiology and practical, nervous-system-led healing.
• It successfully resolved years of chronic pain by focusing on the body as a whole system.
• It empowered me to view movement as a tool for longevity and recovery rather than just performance.

When I’m Not Teaching

You can find me exploring the outdoors, hiking, camping, swimming, or getting back to my roots in a dance class.
