We live in tumultuous times. Many are struggling with anxiety, depression, and suicidal tendencies, given everything that is transpiring within our world, the demands and responsibilities placed upon us.

If you find you are playing tug-of-war with the world, let go of the rope. Enough is enough already. You've fought against the world only to empty yourself out. This is not a battle you need to fight.

Instead, honor the calling of your soul. Ground yourself; be mindful of the desires of the flesh; fill your soul with its needs. The body's desires will drive you downward; your soul will fill you. Discern between the two and apply your energies to what will be most conducive to the life that aligns with your dreams. That is, the life that propels your highest expression.

Everything else is simply a distraction.

I can help you, through my advocacy - spiritual, emotional & mental, as well as my 20+ years of martial arts experience and 10 years of martial arts teaching as a certified instructor, to cultivate the tools you have available within yourself to meet these challenges in a manner more conducive to your well-being, so to empower you to harness your resolve and perseverance in any circumstance.

As someone who followed society's constructs to be "whole" and "fulfilled", having poured myself empty to my family, friends, community and work, I hit rock bottom.

Having survived a suicide attempt, I realized thereafter that the systems in place were not enough, and something was calling me to go deeper.

I have committed 5+ years to my own healing and understanding, while complimenting these practices with my martial arts disciplines: Tae Kwon Do; Jun Fan Jeet Kun Do; Boxing; Muay Thai Kickboxing; MMA (as a collective); and some Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, to understand the warrior spirit and become more whole, albeit the circumstances life throws at us.

I hope to share what I've come to, in understanding the warrior spirit; the intricacies of sound spiritual, emotional and mental health and its outward manifestation in physical health, to empower you to prevail also.

This practice is spiritual advocacy - open to all, by phone, or in-person collaboration of advocacy and martial arts training, if local to Venice.
