About BeActivated

I founded Parasympathetic Performance out of both personal struggle and discovery. For years, I searched for solutions to elevate my performance abilities and confidence. I have experienced firsthand the frustration of navigating the current landscape of health and human performance, particularly with the overwhelming amount of information available on the topic. Throughout my journey, I have navigated numerous personal injuries, most of which were entirely avoidable, and have often had to return to the drawing board. I always knew there was more to learn—something better yet to be discovered. This interest, along with the obstacles I faced, led me to develop what I believe is an all-encompassing system that will continue to evolve alongside Parasympathetic Performance and myself.

I have had the privilege of learning from incredible teachers and mentors, which fueled my passion for helping others unlock their true potential through neuromuscular activation techniques. Eventually, I no longer felt the need to continue searching. I found what worked, delved deep into it, and was amazed at how effective it continued to be. I began to experience a newfound ease in life that did not require an extensive morning routine or forced discipline for minimal improvement. My approach combines objective assessment with subjective experience, ensuring each client’s progress is measurable, sustainable, and meaningful.

I hold a degree in Applied Exercise Science from Northern Michigan University, am a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT), and a Level 1 & 2 BeActivated Practitioner. More importantly, I have personally experienced the benefits of this work—engaging in activities like running, jumping, skiing, boxing, mountain biking, and more in ways I never thought possible.

My mission is to guide others in experiencing that same freedom. I strive to help clients not only improve their movement but also rediscover joy in their bodies, build lasting resilience, and leave each session feeling empowered, confident, and equipped with the tools necessary for continued growth—both with and without my guidance.
