Working Together for Better Patient Outcomes

 

Bridging the Gap Between Clinical Care and Long-Term Fitness

As a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach with 30 years of experience and a medical background (Certified Medical Assistant - Cardiology), I understand the crucial connection between clinical treatment and sustained health outcomes.

I work collaboratively with chiropractors, physical therapists, and other healthcare providers to ensure patients receive comprehensive support throughout their entire health journey—not just during active treatment.

  • Medical terminology and documentation
  • Clinical protocols and safety considerations
  • The importance of professional communication
  • Working within scope of practice
  • Respecting treatment plans and restrictions

✓ Specialized Training & Experience

  • 30 years as a certified personal trainer (NASM CPT)
  • NASM Certified Nutrition Coach (CNC)
  • Precision Nutrition Level 1 Coach
  • Extensive experience with special populations and chronic conditions

For Chiropractors: Strengthen What You Adjust

 

The Challenge

Your patients feel amazing after adjustments—but without proper muscular support, they often return with the same issues. Weak core muscles, poor posture habits, and imbalanced movement patterns continue to pull their spine out of alignment.

The Solution

I help your patients build the strength, stability, and movement patterns necessary to maintain the benefits of your chiropractic care.

What I Provide:

  • Core strengthening programs
  • Posture improvement exercises
  • Movement pattern correction
  • Functional strength training
  • Education on maintaining spinal health

The Result:

  • Better, longer-lasting adjustments
  • Reduced frequency of needed visits over time
  • More resilient, pain-free patients
  • Enhanced outcomes from your care

For Physical Therapists: Sustaining Your Success

 

The Challenge

Patients complete their PT protocol and are discharged feeling better—but then they're on their own. Many struggle to maintain their gains, lose confidence, or don't know how to progress safely. Within months, old patterns return.

The Solution

I provide the bridge from clinical rehabilitation to independent, long-term fitness, helping your patients sustain and build upon the progress you created.

What I Provide:

  • Seamless transition from PT to fitness
  • Continued strength and mobility progression
  • Movement confidence building
  • Accountability and ongoing support
  • Injury prevention strategies

The Result:

  • Sustained improvements after discharge
  • Reduced recurrence and re-injury rates
  • Patients who thrive long-term
  • A trusted partner for your referrals
