Hello

I took my first Posture Restoration Institute (PRI) course in 2005 as a simultaneously bored and stressed out PT.  PRI saved my career and I opened my private PT practice soon thereafter.  PRI is so comprehensive and effective, it can restore any physical alignment, and after 20 years, I've seen it all (almost) .   No matter what your age or what ails you, PRI can restore your physical health, alignment and mobility.  It is my mission to give the  gift of PRI to as many people as possible so they too may feel the joy of a strong and agile body.  

​

I grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin.  What a gift!  Farming will teach you how to be strong (try baling hay), creative (fix everything from animals to buildings to machines), do more than you think you can (milk cows twice a day every day all year round, all weather, no sick days, no holidays), and do bold fun things (drive full size manual pick up trucks at the age of 12).

​

As child in this energized and life giving environment, I also got to live in harmony with nature and understand my vital role in family and community.  There is so much to see, do, learn, I knew I needed a long and healthy life to fit in all in.  I pledged to live to be a healthy 100 years of age, and have worked since then to achieve that goal.

 

As I dug deep into longevity I studied meditation, ancient medicines such as Ayurveda, Dan Buettner's work on the Blue Zones, and the power of Breath by James Nester.  I've read Iain McGilchrist, Rumi and Robin Wall Kimmerer and just about everything in between on what we think we know about our mind, body and soul.  With my work in hospital I get to be present with people in the most difficult times.  Here, in talking about death, disability and pain, we can learn how to truly live.  

​

Now I understand that farming can be on the extreme end of determination and grit, and wanting to live to a healthy 100 years of age places me in a small group of like minded folks.  None the less, I am saddened to see the decline in physical, mental, and emotion health in this country.  I am particularly concerned about our young people.  I see teenagers and young adults with osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, sick inflamed bodies and sky rocketing dysautonomia.  These were rare almost unheard of in young people when I started my career 30 years ago.  They are now increasing common.  

​

We can right this ship.  Humans are meant to mend and grow.  Our minds and bodies love homeostasis.  We are limitless.  We can heal and live in harmony with this earth and with each other.  

​

Please come along with me on this journey to live your best most vital life.
