I'm an author, blogger, and manual and movement therapist. My goal is to help people move better and feel better. I have completed training programs in the Feldenkrais Method and Rolfing. I used to be an attorney. I write and speak about science that is relevant to manual and movement therapists, such as bodyworkers, physical therapists, chiropractors, personal trainers, yoga instructors, athletic coaches, etc. Most of the positive feedback I receive about my writing is that it synthesizes ideas from different fields and makes complex material easy to understand and apply.
