I fell on my neck and came close to being paralyzed.
Within a few days I was moving again. Not because of surgery, medication, or months of physical therapy — but because of Sotai, a Japanese movement practice my father introduced me to that works with your body's natural mechanics rather than forcing against them.
That experience didn't just change how I move. It changed what I do with my life.
I've spent years practicing and refining Sotai, building on formal training and a lifetime of working with the body through martial arts, sports, and fitness
My background is unconventional. Martial artist. Violinist. Athlete. Sotai Practitioner. What ties all of it together is a deep respect for how the body moves when it's given the right input — and a genuine drive to help people get there.
When you come in, you'll be heard. Not rushed through an intake form and handed a generic protocol. I take the time to understand what you're dealing with, where you've been, and what you actually need. I work with honesty and integrity — if something isn't working, I'll tell you. If you're not the right fit for what I offer, I'll tell you that too.
Movement is something everyone deserves to feel good in. That's why I do this.

I’m the owner and sole practitioner of Sotai Clinic, where movement, recovery, and performance meet. As a certified corrective exercise specialist, lifelong martial artist, professional violinist, and dedicated fitness enthusiast, my work is shaped by both training and experience. After facing and working through my own injuries over the years, I developed a deep respect for the body’s ability to adapt when given the right input. My approach blends Sotai, corrective exercise, and movement coaching to help people restore balance, move intelligently, and perform at their best. 8pm
