There are deep rooted reasons why managing stress is extremely important to me.  In 2003, my Dad, whom I loved very much, took his life.  Major stress late in his life led to severe depression, and ultimately to his death.

I became involved with the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention in San Francisco, and am a big advocate of mental balance and open communication.

I want to help clients with their stressful problems in life, both in fitness and in other areas.  By listening, even offering advice during rest periods of sets, I can help clients with stress reduction (not to mention the awesome endorphin rush from exercise!). 

I also offer a mixture of yoga exercises into my fitness routines.
