THE INTERSECTION
What makes my approach unique isn't any single certification—it's how they combine. Neural training from Z-Health informs movement quality. FMS screening prevents injury. Kettlebell efficiency builds capacity. And 25 years of jiu-jitsu teaches you how bodies actually move under pressure.
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
