- Be heard, not dismissed
I’m sure you’ve noticed how difficult it is to communicate your struggles with others. What’s worse is that many just don’t seem to understand.
Here at Convergent Movement and Performance, I guarantee that you will always be seen, heard, and respected. To ensure this, all services will be provided 1-on-1 for the full length of each session (unless of course you choose to participate in group programs).
Up to a full 90 minutes will be reserved for your first session, and each session thereafter will be either 60 minutes or 30 minutes depending on what is best for you and your condition.
- You will always have my complete and undivided attention and focus for the entirety of each session.
- Rest assured that there will never be other clients, patients, or distractions present… unless you have special requests.
- Remain confident that ALL of your questions and concerns will be addressed each session, and throughout the course of our time together.
- You will never feel rushed, dismissed, or pushed away.
- You will never be handed off to an assistant or aide.
- You will never be left alone to do exercises, or left alone on ice, heat, or fancy machines that seem “cool” and “feel nice,” but make you question whether they really do anything meaningful.
- Your sessions will not consist of things that make you think “Well I can just do this at home myself.”
- Uncover the power of support
Our time together shouldn’t have to end between each 1-on-1 session. By providing concierge-style programs, you will feel confident knowing that I’m within reach and providing specialized support. Convergent Movement and Performance goes above and beyond by offering the following premium benefits:
- A secure, private, and encrypted member portal, with access available through web browser and mobile phone app…so you’re always connected and never feel like you’re going through this journey alone.
- Access to specialized programming and between-session coaching… so you know you’re always taking all steps necessary to achieve your goals.
- Between session monitoring, accountability, and support…to ensure you remain motivated and prevent falling off track.
- A platform to illustrate, track, and receive between-session feedback regarding your wellness, rehab, and/or exercise program…so that you’re confident in your actions and won’t wonder “am I doing this right?”
- Clear and open communication and respectful collaboration between myself and your physician, coach, trainer, or anyone else you request to be involved in your journey… so that your journey involves a “team effort” with “all hands on deck.”
- Secure and encrypted: online priority scheduling, direct messaging, document and form sharing, and information and transparency on all financial commitments and transactions…for outstanding convenience and the ability to maintain immediate on-demand control at your fingertips.
- Finally understand what's going on
Those suffering with ongoing pain often express that “not knowing” is one of the worst parts.
And I understand exactly what that is like… I’ve been there myself.
Our work together will resolve this by developing a clear and concise understanding of your condition.
It’s time you discover exactly:
- What’s going on
- What makes you better
- What makes you worse
- What is safe and not safe to do
- What will lead to progress along your path
This process provides you with powerful awareness and skills that enable you to be independent, self-reliant, and capable of understanding, managing, and resolving your condition.
- Holistically conquer pain
The secret to conquering pain and reclaiming your life lies within the use of the Convergent Pillars of Wellness and Performance.
- State: Balancing stress and recovery
- Nutrition: Fueling the body with healing nutrition
- Movement: Enhancing healthy pain-free mobility, strength, endurance, and control
- Sleep: Discovering truly restful sleep
- Connection: Developing authentic and meaningful connections with ourselves, others, and our environment
All 5 of the Convergent Pillars are integrated into all of our work together.
I am a strong believer that recovery, wellness, and performance programs are incomplete without a focus on all 5 of these factors.
Discover little known, but incredibly powerful tools within each pillar… allowing you to conquer pain and reclaim your life.
We are all capable of so much more than we realize.
You have the power to make drastic changes in your health and performance… and I’m committed to prove it!
