Woot! This last Thursday, I passed my Practical Skills Assessment (PSA) for my health coach course with ADAPT (ADAPT HCTP)! It marks a significant milestone in certification as a health coach and one that was not easy for me to achieve. In hopes of helping others through this, I thought I’d give some thoughts on[…]
As noted previously we completed the ADAPT Health Coach Training Program course work back in June. In the process of becoming a coach, I discovered I needed A LOT OF work myself. What followed was a shocking revelation and, well, a transformation that I did not expect nor know the results of. When I started[…]
This post is a bit late, having now been nearly 4 weeks after I passed the RKC but it’s one that needs to be done! About 4 months prior, I saw that an RKC was announced on the West Coast in Southern California, and with Dan John. For those of you who might not know[…]
I just jumped at the chance to experience Dan John at the Russian Kettlebell Certification (RKC) this August 17-18, 2019 in Torrance, CA. I’ve been an admirer of Dan John for years now and have loved his DVDs, lectures, and books. I’m totally excited to experience him live for 2 whole days! I’ve also been[…]
This last week, I took the certification exam for Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT) Level 1 and passed! Up to now, I had associated a lot with NKT practitioners: Kathy Dooley, Bob Gazso, among many others. It seemed that every seminar I went to, I would be in company of many of them. Thus, I found some[…]
This summer I reached out to Menloswim to see if I could do some informative talks around nutrition. Thankfully, Tim Sheeper agreed! Last month, I spoke about sugar, a topic that is pretty important hot these days, and especially for parents. Sugar has been linked to many chronic diseases. It’s found in nearly all processed[…]
A year ago last June, I took the plunge and signed up for the first cohort of Chris Kresser’s Health Coach Training Program. It’s been a great year of learnings on many fronts, and we are about a week away from the course’s official ending. As I reflect on the course and my own development,[…]
Back late last year, I suffered from a severe nerve entrapment issue which started in my right arm and then began to mirror itself in my left. It also manifested itself in my left buttock which put *really* uncomfortable tingles into my left testicle (nope, not the good kind…!). In both arms, my front shoulder[…]
One of my clients is working towards a challenging marathon swim. I thought I’d republish part of an email here that captured some thoughts I’ve had over the years about building to a race and recovering properly: As mentioned, building towards races can take many forms. It can be a linear build to a peak[…]
Recently, I got this comment on one of my dryland recovery drill videos: Comment: When you are showing the dry land elbow position, your hand is dangling below and if there was water, it would be well below the surface. So I don’t understand how this exercise would translate when in the water. It seems[…]
