As a physical therapist with two board certifications, an MBA from USC, and 30+ years of experience, I am committed to state of the art, ethical, research based, impairment driven and guideline supported patient care.

Early in my career as a young professional, I was exposed to the ever -changing world of healthcare, and was able to embrace this as an opportunity to recognize poor delivery systems and maintain a commitment to patient -centered care despite conflicting directives from corporate health systems and companies. During my 30+ years working in the healthcare system I have maintained my focus on the patients, their individual needs, and their opportunities to thrive.

This commitment has helped me pivot into a holistic world of Wellness and Prevention. Healthy aging is fundamental to productive and fulfilling lives, I educate, mentor, treat, consult to prevent disease and physical and mental breakdown in order to build thriving lifestyles for clients of all ages. I do have a special liking towards the 50-100+ year old population! Open to consult with start up companies on optimizing impact.

A bit more about me:
- One of my passions is to consult with families of aging loved ones to find optimal solutions for care and beyond
-My solid Science background and keen understanding of physical therapy is what makes me a successful expert witness (review of cases, arbitration, depositions and trial experience).
-My lifelong athletic career gives me the energy, focus, grit, and commitment to success and meeting goals.
-My curious mind leads me into a future of growing passion in biotechnology, cell biology, and fundamental building blocks to life/health and prevention of disease to body and mind.

Finding new and successful solutions for healthy aging, top performance, and keen mental acuity outside the healthcare model of "sick care", is momentum into the future. I look forward to sharing the ability to optimize body, mind, and performance in a holistic space. My balance in life is established with athletics, interesting family and friends, and my Saint Bernard, Gus.

I am open to new opportunities, learn from others through valuable conversations, work in advisory roles, or help in any of my capacities.
