“Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world.”

This quote from the 16th century Japanese Buddhist philosopher, writer, and martial artist Miyamoto Musashi has always inspired me…

It reflects Musashi’s lifelong pursuit of expression through martial arts and contemplative philosophy.

I think of human movement as an art form — and like all art forms, the practice of focusing the mind and body to reflect and refine one’s expressive ability is an exercise of intellectual growth and bio-mechanical competency and possibility…

Pursuing mastery of our bodies through exercise is one of the most satisfying outlets we have. It is this expression that has fueled my lifelong love of martial arts — Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai being my favored forms.

I strive to teach mindfulness through movement and integrated massage. I am deeply passionate about unlocking a person’s ability to grow both physically and mentally by overcoming the challenges of physical training. By fostering a greater body awareness through the combination of intelligent programming and targeted tissue release you will have the confidence and knowledge to pursue your passions inside and outside the gym, while having knowledge to help remediate pain and tissue dysfunction as it occurs. 

Focusing on functional movement patterns and resolving tissue dysfunction/pain through deep tissue massage paired with targeted strength training is a fascinating obsession that I have been studying for years. 

I am a Licensed Massage Therapist and have earned specialized certifications with the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM); am a Functional Anatomy (FRC) Functional Range Conditioning Mobility Specialist; am certified in The Integrative Corrective Exercise Approach; am certified as a Precision Nutrition PN1 nutritional coach; as well as  a certified Bioforce Conditioning Coach.

Additionally, I am a competitive Muay Thai, Mixed Martial Arts, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu athlete and Head Striking Coach/Co-Owner of Traphouse BJJ and Muay Thai.

I am continuously enhancing my professional competencies across disciplines, cultures, research and training opportunities both here and abroad.

I  specialize in deep tissue massage,  one-on-one, semi-private, and group coaching.

EVAN!!!!!!

Another painless backpacking trip in the books. Not only was it painless… It felt easy?! The specs of this trip were milder than previous ones. But still, it was a real trip, 31.5 miles including two summits. And I was descending fast too! Didn’t have to carefully step down at a crawl. I’m tired in a normal way, but no blisters, no knee pain, no neck pain, felt fresh at the end of each day. It feels like you’ve set me free.

Working with Evan reshaped my relationship with my body. Under his guidance, I achieved physical goals beyond what I thought I could do, and in the process I got out from under chronic back and joint pain I thought I would be stuck with for the rest of my life. I left with knowledge and skills that will allow me to maintain and improve my physical health for as long as I live.

On top of the results, in the two years I worked with Evan I never once had a bad day working with him. He is constantly positive, motivating, and interested in nothing but your well being. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
