I help ambitious professionals 40+ get strong, energized, and calm through holistic fitness → functional strength & mobility, the med method, and somatic stress release

I used to be a high-performer stuck in a low-performance body.

→ Back stiff.
→ Mind foggy.
→ Chest tight.

My friends would say, I was “fine.”
In practice, I was fraying.

That was me at 35.

One morning, I caught myself in the mirror. 
Slouched, hollow-eyed, barely breathing deep without discomfort.

I had success. I had money.
But I didn’t have myself.

That slow burnout nearly took it all.

So I made a choice: not just to heal my body, but to upgrade it.

For 8+ years, I immersed myself in:

→ Functional strength
→ Mindful mobility
→ Breathwork, somatics, nervous system regulation

Slowly, I rebuilt my energy, my resilience, and my presence.

Now, at 44, I feel sharper, calmer, and stronger than I did in my 20s.

And that’s what I help my clients unlock, too.

Here's an example…


A client, James, is a consultant constantly on the road.

Dinners with clients. Long flights. Stress stacking up. He thought fitness meant “go hard or go home,” but that approach left him drained.

We built him a plan using our LUC Framework for functional strength, Mediterranean-inspired nutrition swaps he could make anywhere in the world, and nervous system resets he could do in 10 minutes between calls.

Now he bikes and hikes with his kids on the weekends (something he thought was behind him).

Over the past decade I found…


Most people don’t need more discipline.

They need a system that integrates fitness, food, and stress regulation into their daily life.

That’s what I do. Together with Ketty.

We help ambitious, driven people build body-first holistic fitness & health so they can keep showing up strong, sharp, and steady → at work, at home, and in life.

Less stress.
More energy.
Deeper presence.
Sharper performance.


How we can work together:

1) 1:1 Coaching → personalized holistic fitness integration
2) Online Course → remove restrictions + get pain-free
3) Executive & Team Coaching → holistic fitness for performance-driven teams

If you think this is “wellness,” it’s not.
This is about building the body you need for the life you want.

A regulated nervous system.
Energy that lasts the whole day.
A body that feels free, strong, and reliable.

That’s your unfair advantage → in business, leadership, and life.

The secret to staying fit & healthy

Most people struggle with consistency.

For me? 

It's always been the easy part.

I trained:

☑︎ 5 days a week as a consultant living out of hotels.
☑︎ while backpacking the globe for 365 days.
☑︎ while building a business across 8 countries over 4 years.

Why?

Because I never needed a gym.

The thing is: 

If you need a gym to train, you're never truly free.

You become dependent on machines and weights. 
You waste time commuting. 
And when you travel, you're at the mercy of whatever equipment is available.

But your body is the only gym you need.

Strength isn't about equipment.
It's about progressive resistance.

Your body adapts to imposed demand:

1) Start with 10 push-ups against a wall. 
2) Progress to a table. 
3) Then a bench. 
4) Then the floor.

The body doesn't care where resistance comes from.

So make it frictionless.

The easier the entry, the faster you progress. 
Sure, you could start with floor push-ups. 
But if you can only do 1, you'll get discouraged.

That's why we build on easy wins.

That's the whole secret.

If you're an executive, entrepreneur, or business owner with a packed schedule, you need simple and easy.

So let me ask you:

What's creating the heaviest friction when you think of exercise?

Move your body. Simplify exercise. Thrive in life.

People and companies don't need another 'script reading' public speaker - but they do need a genuinely passionate, HIGH ENERGY and AUTHENTIC speaker who knows how to hold space and compassion in the room without sounding 'boring.'
