Desire to help people stay healthy began during my time as an EMT. As part of the job I visited many nursing homes. Most people there were weak, sick and had hard time getting around. If this is normal when one has passed the 90 mark, it is quite unsettling to see people in their 50’s and 60’s in these establishments. They are good people that made choices that didn’t work out so good for them. Choices about physical activity, diet and general lifestyle. At ActiveBody we hope to change that!

Environment of my childhood respected and promoted physical strength and athleticism. My journey in to the world of strength started with kettlebells at the local gym. It quickly transitioned in to weight lifting and strength training. Martial art training was part of growing up and a big part of my life for many years. During my collage years I worked as an assistant strength coach at the school gym. It was our job to assist team players in developing strength and agility. In one form or other I have been active all my life.

Having been active most of my life and practicing the art of staying healthy I realized that we often require guidance and assistance on the journey to a better self. That is what we offer at ActiveBody functional therapy.

I was fortunate enough to have a few teachers to whom I am grateful for shearing their knowledge on the subject. Now I would like to apply all that I have learned, and keep learning, to assist you in staying healthy, strong and fully functional every day for a greater enjoyment of life!
