Who I am…
Hi, I’m Colin! I am a certified holistic health coach, corrective exercise specialist, and Neurosomatic therapist. I grew up in Illinois before attending the University of Minnesota where I was a Division 1 college wrestler and received a bachelors degree in history. Leaving college I suffered health problems that were unexplainable, and I felt lost and confused. When standard medical care of a variety of sources failed to help me regain my health, I found the CHEK institute and the teachings of Paul Chek.
It was here when I experienced the work first hand and embraced the wounded healer in me, now in Austin Texas. Since 2019 I’ve been working with clients and learning the most advanced coaching and additional skills in exercise and manual therapy. I blend a knowledge and nutrition, lifestyle, biomechanics, kinesiology, corrective exercises, mental and emotional coaching, and much more. I’ve helped many clients redefine their health through a holistic approach, unique and specific to each’s own individual needs. My intention behind life and my work is to practice what I preach (I), to always show up 100% with you (WE), and as a result effect positive change in those around all of us (ALL).
