My Story

I thought of these words as I was walking through the forest one day and looking up at the trees. I love to use trees as a metaphor for myself and life. They reach up to the sky, stretch their roots to keep them grounded and nourished and they grow both upwards and outwards. The possibilities are endless when the environment is right! The words reach stretch grow encapsulate all of my skills and training in both the body and mind. They are the goals that I want each client to be able to strive for as they work through their challenges. Reach beyond what you believe you are capable of doing both physically and mentally. Stretch your mind to look at what else is possible and your body to keep it moving and healthy. Grow your skills, strengths and strategies and as an individual.
