A New Paradigm in Manual Therapy and Functional Medicine

For 25 years, I've been helping patients and Physical Therapists understand the body through a structural and functional, whole-person lens.

My method blends:

  • Advanced Manual Therapy: Orthopedic Manual Therapy, Visceral, Vascular and Neural Manipulation
  • Functional Medicine principles
  • Movement and alignment systems
  • Trauma-Compensation Theory
  • Autonomic Nervous System, Trauma, PolyVagal Theory

The result?

Clinicians who master complexity - and patients who finally get answers.

If you've ever felt stuck treating chronic or complex patients, this training changes everything. My programs give you the frameworks, hands-on skills, and Functional Medicine understanding that most Physical Therapy and Manual Therapy education leaves out.
