Lifestyle Medicine Philosophy
As a Lifestyle Medicine professional, I prioritize guiding you to a space of personal acceptance and accountability. In this space you are able to clearly see the challenges in front of you and have an opportunity to connect with existing skills, traits, and abilities that will help you forward your health improvement goals. From there we can collaborate on progressive strategies that set a course toward adoption of health-oriented behaviors and decision-making processes that are in line with your clinical needs and personal vision for health and wellbeing.
The overall goal of your Lifestyle Medicine process centers on merging professional guidance with your personal vision of health and wellbeing. Years of health and wellness coaching experience, master’s level competency training, and education in physiological science and research puts me in a unique position to collaborate with you to accomplish this goal. With this experience and education, I enter each coaching process having a firm understanding of the importance of taking the journey that you want to take while making sure you have the information and reflective tools to be able to make health-oriented decisions along the way.
Intuitive Manual Therapy
With 17 years in practice as a Therapeutic Massage provider and informed by advanced knowledge of myofascial function and structure I have developed a unique approach called Intuitive Manual Therapy. Intuitive Manual Therapy employs a structural approach to soft tissue therapy to assist your body to experience greater comfort and enhanced function and performance. Each session utilizes a blend of myofascial, orthopedic, and craniosacral massage techniques to work through distorted myofascial pattering that is causing pain and/or reducing performance. Kevin will also work with you to retrain and rebalance your movement patterns through functional movement training.
