Customized Services

The program I design for you will combine elements of the following areas:

Personal Training
Nutrition Counseling
Sports Performance
Stress Management
Wellness Coaching

Personal Training

I work with clients ages 14 to 90! The process starts with a consultation where we meet to discuss your goals, medical and exercise history, followed by assessments and functional screens as needed. While this may seem like a lot of preliminary steps, it is essential to designing the right program for YOU. Careful, safe progression of the initial program, along with variety, is also important in keeping my clients free from injury.

Sessions may be individual, with a partner or in small groups. Together we decide what format suits your needs, preferences and lifestyle.

Nutrition Counseling

We will work together to decide what dietary measures will help you reach your goals. A computerized menu planning program is available, and I will provide additional information on healthy eating, or referral to a registered dietician if required.

Are you a competitive athlete? I will share the most recent and advanced nutritional measures for preparing your body for your specific sport or activity. I provide methods for prolonged training, all day tournaments or performances, and recovery techniques from your event.

Eating a nutritious diet and encouraging a healthy lifestyle is part of what I believe in and guide my clients towards.

Sports Performance

I have worked with competitive high school, collegiate and adult athletes to prepare for preseason training, tryouts or special events. Several of my clients currently compete on collegiate tennis, baseball, soccer and dancesport teams. One even participated in an EcoChallenge for her company! I have done workshops for UC San Diego's dancesport team and the Cal Dance Team (UC Berkeley). These programs are specifically tailored towards sports training for optimal results.

Stress Management

Guided visualization techniques have helped me deal with the stress of extreme training conditions. I have helped individuals achieve their "peak performance," and presented seminars for small office groups. When practiced regularly, these techniques work to lower stress hormones and allow the client to achieve their best performance on the field or in the office.

Wellness Coaching

The proof for the mind-body connection grows stronger each passing week. Fitness is not just strong muscles and the ability to run or walk long distances. Health includes more than the absence of disease. To be truly fit to do what we desire, we need muscle strength and cardiovascular endurance. We also need a desirable body weight, a flexible supple physique, and balance - in both the physical and time management senses. Last, but not least, we require equanimity, peace of mind in our ability to handle stress & adversity, and the ability to enjoy relationships with others.
