Personal Interests
My Coaching Purpose: As a coach, my purpose is to guide runners in not only reaching their performance goals but also in safeguarding their long-term health, especially when it comes to their feet. My background as a podiatrist allows me to offer more than just training advice—I can help runners understand how their bodies move, identify potential issues early, and create solutions that prevent injuries. I believe that proper technique and injury prevention go hand in hand with performance, and my goal is to blend these aspects seamlessly. I want to create a training environment where runners feel supported and confident, knowing that they’re not just improving their fitness but investing in their long-term health and well-being.Ready to meet the team and make an appointment?
