I was recently in conversation with clients about what they gain through the practice when we all know it can be such a frustrating and painful challenge while also being time consuming and sometimes hard to motivate toward doing.

Or would you clean up the spill from the lost egg and carry on with your day? Our practice is like the carton — some days we... Continue Reading →

Knowing myself, it's perhaps even more surprising. Yet, it's good to know after these 36 months that yes, you can teach... Continue Reading →
As a kid, I stumbled around a lot. For whatever reason, I was really just two left uncoordinated feet.
