Hi, cześć, hola! At 19, I was suffering from seemingly obscure pain when the doctor told me my spine looked like I had been in a wreck (I had not been). Never mind, I was also smoking a pack of cigarettes a day and had no real movement relationship with my body. I visited chiropractors who cracked and manipulated my body for years but taught me nothing about caring for myself.Looking for REAL answers has led me on a beautiful journey of movement, learning, unlearning, experimentation, and growth.
In 2013 I started guiding others in movement as a yoga instructor, which I lovingly practiced for many years before finding Kinstretch and adapting my understanding of movement. Since then, I’ve taught many formats, became a personal trainer, pursued mentorships, completed FRC, FRA, Kinstretch, and took FR Spine as a non-therapist. When I tapped out with those modalities, I plowed forward. Every client has taught me more than I could ever learn in any course setting. Bodies are not pristine skeleton models or lifeless cadavers. We are walking, breathing, processing, adapting, evolving stories. Through my own continued injuries and the clients I couldn’t fully help, I realized I needed to learn more. Since February 2020, I’ve been on my own restoration journey and have taken seven Postural Restoration Institute Certifications as well as completed a three month mini-residency with my mentor and PRI Faculty member, Dan Houglum. I consider myself a forever student because I believe nature has many hidden truths, and we definitely don’t know half of them. I now invite clients to come partner with me on their own repatterning and unpatterning journey. My goal is that in a short time, you feel better and more empowered than ever before. So whether you’re interested in a deep dive or just here for a few classes and fun, I intend to share everything I know.
Disclaimer: If learning, being curious, diving deep into the WHY behind what we’re doing, getting comfortable with failure, and the process is NOT your jam, this might not be for you. I’m not trying to be for everyone. I’m trying to be the trainer I wish I had for a decade of confusion, injury, and fear of my own body.I hope to inspire you to regain your resting squat, to play more, to ground yourself whenever you get the chance, and most importantly, to grow in both knowledge and movement through proper progression and the use of whatever movement tools and modalities are right for you.
