I’ve always struggled with something—not in my ability to help people, but in getting them to understand how I can help them because I don’t fit into a category. I’m not a strength coach, even though I can make you stronger. I’m not a therapist, even though I can help you move through trauma. I’m not just a breathwork guy, even though I can teach you how to regulate your nervous system better than anyone.
I don’t fit the mold, and honestly, I don’t want to.
At one point, I thought I had to define what I do in a way people could easily grasp. But the truth is, what I do isn’t simple—it’s layered, deep, and built on years of learning, failing, and seeing what works beyond the cookie-cutter systems the industry keeps pushing.
A turning point for me was in Australia during a nervous system regulation training session—what I call an expression workout. I was cycling between Dimel deadlifts, sumo deadlifts, and SWAMI breathing. Afterwards, I did a specific isometric stretch to release built-up stress. And then, out of nowhere, I broke into tears. Not because of pain but because my body pulled up a memory as if I was experiencing it (a vivid dream-like state), I hadn’t thought about in decades—being three years old, trying to use the bathroom at preschool, and hearing kids outside making fun of the sounds I was making. Looking back now, it seems so small. But to that three-year-old version of me, it shifted my timeline forever. That single moment, that tiny fear, created a tension pattern I carried for years.
And in that workout, I didn’t just remember it—I released it. Physically. It wasn’t just a thought anymore. It was a new perspective inside my body.
That’s when I knew We carry far more than we realize. Pain, restriction, even mental blocks—these things aren’t just happening in our heads or in our joints. They’re woven into our nervous system, into our muscle patterns, and into how we respond to stress on a physiological level.

This is why I can’t be a niche coach.
Because most people’s struggles aren’t just physical or just mental—they’re both. They’ve gone to the best specialists, the top doctors, the elite trainers, and still, no one can figure out why their pain won’t go away, why their body won’t perform the way it should, why they still feel stuck. Most people look at the body positionally: “This is tight, this is weak, let’s fix that.” But the real answer is in how the body holds or doesn’t tension. The tension or lack of tension which is based on the body observing the environment and needing to be hyperactive or collapsed (anxious or depressed towards a trigger).
That’s where I work.
I don’t just look at the structure. I look at how the body is reacting. I find the muscles that aren’t firing correctly. I link them to emotional and mental patterns. I create just enough stress to create safety—to show the nervous system where it can move freely. Once the body realizes it’s not in danger, pain disappears. Inflammation goes down. Confidence builds. The brain stops being hyper-vigilant about every little ache and movement. And over time, this doesn’t just change how someone moves—it changes how they see the world. Anxiety drops. Energy increases. That constant low-level depression? It lifts.
And this is where the frustration kicks in.
Because this works—but it’s hard to explain. I always get the same thing: “Why didn’t I meet you three years ago?” or “How come no one told me this before?” But the answer is right here: because I don’t fit into a box. People don’t know to look for me because what I do doesn’t have a name.

That’s why I created Moved Academy—because I know I’m not alone in this. There are other coaches out there who see the bigger picture. Who refuse to be boxed into strength training or therapy or mobility work. Who know that pain, performance, stress, and health are all connected.
The lines between fitness, rehab, and mental health are blurring.
And in five years, I want Moved Academy to be a worldwide network of no-niche coaches—leaders who are trained to find the gaps, to solve the problems that traditional methods can’t, and to create long-term solutions for their clients. Coaches who don’t just memorize methods but who deeply understand how the body truly works—not just from an exercise perspective, not just from a rehab perspective, but from a stress and tension perspective.
Because this is the future.
So yeah, maybe I don’t fit neatly into a niche. Maybe that makes it harder to explain what I do. But it doesn’t change the fact that what I do works.
And if you’re someone who’s been stuck—whether it’s in pain, in performance, or in life—you need a different approach.
You’ve been told to stretch it out. To ice it. To strengthen it. To breathe a certain way. To think your way out of it.
But if that worked, you wouldn’t still be searching for answers.
You don’t need another standard program. You need someone who understands how it all connects.
And you need to experience it for yourself. If you are looking for the experience, reach out through email or schedule a call, and let's see how I can best help you and give you solutions.
