Meet the founder
Over the past two decades as a personal trainer, I’ve had the privilege of helping people from all walks of life overcome obstacles and reach their fitness goals. From coaching USPA powerlifters at the national level to training under renown Olympic weightlifting coach Max Aita, studying ballet at the Tulsa Ballet Center for Dance Education, and collaborating with experts in yoga, Pilates, and Russian-style kettlebell training, I’ve built a diverse foundation rooted in curiosity, discipline, and a love of movement.
What I’ve learned through experience is that most people silo themselves into one method of training. My powerlifters didn’t see the value in flexibility or endurance, and my yoga practitioners hesitated to get under a barbell. We often cling to what feels familiar — but that comfort can become a ceiling.
Relevé is the result of everything I’ve learned — a comprehensive, integrative training system built to expand that ceiling. Drawing from ballet, it improves posture, balance, and movement awareness. From yoga and Pilates, it builds flexibility, core control, and breathwork. And from strength sports, it develops power, resilience, and physical confidence.
But Relevé is more than a fusion — it’s a method. Through structured assessment and progressive phases, it adapts to your needs and evolves with you. Whether you’re a beginner, an athlete, or an adaptive individual with unique physical challenges, Relevé meets you where you are — and helps you rise.
I couldn’t be prouder of this system, and I can’t wait for you to experience how transformative true movement mastery can be.
