I've been training clients for over 15 years and working with the special needs community for more than a decade. For years, I coached clients out of public gyms — adapting my methods around crowded spaces and equipment that wasn't built for real coaching. Eventually, I knew I needed my own space to do things the right way.

Move Academia has been that space for 3 years now. Every session I run starts with the spine — we get it moving properly, build flexibility and mobility around it, layer in functional movement inspired by the Ido Portal Method, then finish with real strength training. My background in kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu shaped how I think about body mechanics, discipline, and helping people build genuine confidence through movement.

I don't do cookie-cutter programs. Whether you're 16 or 65, have special needs or just want to feel better in your body — every session is built around you.
