Move the way you're built to
Structural integration and movement coaching in Santa Cruz
A great workout, coached by a practitioner trained in lineage. Hands-on structural work
and intelligent movement training, delivered as one practice. Safe. Effective.
Surprisingly fun. Book by the session. No package, no contract.
You are about to spend real money on your body. You deserve straight answers, not marketing.

Two practices, one practitioner.
I am a structural integrator and a personal trainer. Hands-on work reorganizes your tissue. Coached movement teaches your body to live in the new organization. You rarely need only one, which is why I offer both under the same roof, with the same set of eyes.

Why you can trust this work.
Twelve years of practice. Twelve-plus certifications, including a year-long Anatomy Trains Structural Integration program under Tom Myers. Referrals from doctors of physical therapy. You are not hiring a trainer with an online certificate. You are retaining a practitioner who has trained in lineage.

How I actually help.
Most bodywork chases the place that hurts. Most training chases the muscle you want bigger. I read the whole system. We find the pattern, usually two joints upstream, release it, and build strength and control in the new position so the change sticks under load.
Whole-system assessment
Hands-on structural work
Programmed strength and mobility

How you will feel after.
Lighter on your feet. Taller without trying. Lifts that move better with less pain. A breath that reaches the bottom of your lungs. The low-grade tension you had stopped noticing, gone.
Measurable postural change
Stronger, cleaner lifts
Return to sport without flare-ups

Why this is what you need.
If you are 45 or 65 and serious about the next forty years of your life, a trainer who cannot read your structure, or a bodyworker who will not program your training, is an incomplete answer. What you need is a practitioner who does both. That is what this is.
For the long view, not the quick fix
Pairs with PT, performance coaches
Results hold with minimal maintenance
The Approach
Assess. Reorganize. Build. Sustain
Four phases, one practice. Structural integration and private training are not a sequence,
they are the same work seen from two sides. We move between them as your body asks.
Phase 01 · Assess
Body Systems Check
A complete postural read. Movement screening across your primary patterns. A specific map of where your structure is compensating, and where it wants to go. You leave with a plan, whether or not you continue.
◦ Gait, standing, and seated postural analysis
◦ Myofascial line assessment (Anatomy Trains)
◦ Movement screen: squat, hinge, push, pull, carry
◦ In-session review with exercise and bodywork recommendations
Phase 02 · Reorganize
Structural Integration
Hands-on fascial work that releases the restrictions pulling your body out of balance. Book single sessions for specific issues, or commit to the full 12-Series: the complete Anatomy Trains arc, sequenced to reorganize your entire structure.
◦ 60, 90, or 120-minute single sessions
◦ 12-Series: twelve sessions over 3 to 4 months
◦ Hip Series: four focused sessions
◦ Progress documented at sessions 5, 9, and 12
Phase 03 · Build
Private Training
Personal training that earns its name. Strength, mobility, and skill work programmed around your body, not a generic template. Every session is coached by me, with the same eye for alignment and pattern I bring to the bodywork.
◦ Strength programming tailored to your structure
◦ Mobility and breath work built into every session
◦ Sport-specific development: surf, run, bike, lift
◦ Private studio or select outdoor locations
Phase 04 · Sustain
Ongoing Partnership
The work holds when you keep training intelligently. Most clients settle into a rhythm: regular coaching sessions plus structural tune-ups as the year demands. This is where the long arc gets written.
◦ 1 to 3 sessions per week for active training
◦ Quarterly structural re-read to stay honest
◦ Seasonal programming around sport and travel
◦ Priority scheduling for established clients

For Whom
Four kinds of clients,
one standard of care.
I take on a small roster each season. Common thread: they are serious about their body
the way they are serious about other things that matter.
THE EXECUTIVE
The professional whose body is an asset.
You fly often. You sit often. You train when your calendar permits. Your shoulders have opinions, and your lower back is becoming vocal. You need the work done once, correctly, by someone who treats your time the way you treat a board agenda.
What we'll watch for
Desk-driven tension Travel recovery Sleep quality Cognitive energy
THE MASTERS ATHLETE
The surfer, cyclist, runner who refuses to taper off.
You have ten, twenty, thirty more years in you, and you know the difference between pain that teaches and pain that warns. This work is how you keep the window open.
The rider, golfer, diver whose weekends shouldn't cost the week.
You mountain bike on Saturday. Golf on Sunday. The dive trip is already on the calendar. The activity is not the problem. The ache that trails you into the work week is. This work keeps the weekend and loses the cost.
What we'll watch for
Post-weekend stiffness Rotational imbalance Shoulder and hip mobility Recovery time
THE LONG VIEW
The retiree who plans to be climbing stairs at 90.
You have the time and the resources to do this properly. You want a practitioner who will be honest with you, sequence the work, and care about outcomes ten years from now, not just this session.
What we'll watch for
Balance and gait Pain-free range of motion Fall prevention Independent living
A note on fit
This is not a spa service, and it is not a quick fix. If you are in acute injury requiring
medical clearance, or hoping for passive results without participation, we are not the right
match. I will tell you that plainly on the consultation, and refer you well.

Transparent pricing. Book by the session
Pay per session. Hold a standing slot if you want a rhythm we can both plan around. No
packages, no contracts, no expiring credits. Pause or change cadence at any time. Just text me.
I publish my rates in the open because I want you to know what you're choosing before
you arrive. There's a small rate adjustment for clients who hold a standing slot. Same
care, same hour, slightly less per session in exchange for a rhythm we can both plan
around. Most clients begin with a single session and find their rhythm from there.
— Rock
60 minutes is enough for a focused training session. 90 minutes is the right length when
we're combining hands-on work and coached movement.
