“I get a chill down my spine watching someone understand that improving their health improves their life across the board. Then I get the warm fuzzies helping them do that” - Chris Desmond
Collaborative
We know that there is no one “right” way to good health (despite what the guru’s want you to believe) so we focus on crafting solutions that work in the context of your life right now.
Curious
We love interacting with people and building relationships. We’re fascinated by what makes you tick, and what gives you a twinkle in your eye and how we can improve your health to support that.
Practical
Whatever plan we come up with together needs to be super practical. I’m busy, you’re busy, we’re busy. It’s about healthy change that’s straightforward, easy to implement, and doesn’t blow out your to-do list.
Compassionate
We understand that everyone starts in a different place. We have different knowledge, values, experiences, beliefs, and life situations. We’re not here to tell you that you’re doing it all wrong, but want to walk with you to improve health and performance.
If information was all it took to be successful then we’d all be billionaires with 6 pack abs
