This a form or style of training to help prepare the body for the tough times of life: particular events that may throw you. Think of the Dad’s race at a kid’s sports day. If he had done the training, that 100m dash would not have ended in a sprained ankle. Or, preparing your body and mind for your first marathon challenge.

Every person’s body is different, and a standard program may not be tailored to your unique body shape, neurology and challenges. That’s where I come in: to make sure you finish the next race and scale the next hurdle, with ease, confidence, and injury-free.

Performance training is a carefully crafted personal training program for professional and semi-professional athletes. This approach will gear you up systematically over time, helping you peak at the right time and achieve your best goal.

Detraining, on the other hand, is focused on athletes who have stopped competing. If you simply stop performing, without a detraining program, you’re likely to run into massive injuries and depressed moods. The detraining program helps your body adapt to the lower-intensity movement. We reverse-engineer all the stresses your body had to endure during athletic events, and prolonged competitive careers.

Simply put, restorative training will help keep you going and functionally fit for lifestyle demands.

This training focuses on easing pain – like a chronic painful lower back – or regaining lost function – like an unstable shoulder. We get you back to a place where you feel invigorated both in your body and mind.

In this type of personal training program, we focus on training toward total movement mastery. With this approach, we use movement as an extension into greater life-skills. We make life your movement playground. We discover that we can feel, live and experience ourselves in a more embodied way.

We discover the small little movements that make up a full skill like a handstand, golf swing, yoga or Pilates exercises, and become masters of these.

Flexibility and mobility are two very different, and essential movement skills:

Flexibility is the capacity to stretch our joints further, without injury.

Mobility, is the capacity with which we can our joints with strong, supportive muscles.

Our main focus in this training is to ease the years of tension and restriction in your body, so you don’t have to be scared of reaching too far or stretching too deep.

The two worlds of mind and body, intersect with this practice. Yes, a practice. This is not a style of training that is linear, it takes on many forms and shapes, and the practitioner will learn, struggle and enlighten themselves along the way.

There is no formula. This practice is self-led and self-solved. It’s a discovery and growth of your body, rather than a forced exercise. When faced with a ‘movement challenge’, it is a powerful reminder of how the mind can restrict one’s own potential.

Allowing for all of you, all of your attributes and all the skills you have, flexibility, mobility, strength and coordination to complete a task. It’s all about learning, listening and understanding. There is an infinite wisdom of the body, that we can tap into and accessing this knowledge through deep practice, self-observation and reflection, is the only way we can move toward ones deepest unconscious mastery of our abilities.

Movement fluidity and control, leads to greater ease of movement and less chance of injury. Think of an orchestra playing, the intricate but complex way of all those sounds melting together to make a master piece. We want the same sort of harmony for your body, when we walk, jump, bend, twist and bounce our way through life. We strive for the best tune with our bodies, so the tone will be balanced enough to create fluid movement.

Good posture is not just about looking like one of those upright grid charts. It’s not about walking around, balancing books on your head.

Your posture constantly adapts to your movement. I will help you discover and understand how to improve your dynamic posture. How long you can sustain it and when you move, how to have a great posture in all possible positions.

You are the sum total of all your thoughts, behaviours, habits and choices. All of these impact the body and mind in a very intimate way. Sometimes things can slip under the radar, that is ok, and you may need some help finding out why.

This is where I hear your biggest desires, fears, goals or doubts about what to do next. Parts of your life/lifestyle implementing changes may not be best serving you and helping you get where you want to be, so we modify your movement program to fit with your lifestyle, or help you find ways to adapt your lifestyle, so you can better implement your movement programs.
