Striking and Therapeutic Conversations. A Knockout Combination!
Impact Therapy
It is a step by step process where we use striking, hand eye coordination, breathing and footwork to help you conquer your mental hurdles.
As children we are taught to suppress our most natural instinct, STRIKING. We are told it’s wrong and should never use it. In my opinion this is a travesty, we are suppressing a natural stress reliever that if taught correctly has many physical and mental benefits.
My mission is to dismantle the negative stigma that society has taught us and prove the continuity between fist and mind to improve mental clarity and confidence.

The Birth of Impact Therapy
I came up with this idea through the 10+ years of my professional fitness career. While teaching people how to box I noticed their was a huge release of adrenaline, aggression and stress that helped them think and perform better throughout their day. This is not accidental there are thousands of studies that show adrenaline release spikes the bodies natural endorphins which helps the body perform better on all levels throughout your day. My clients not only came to me with their physical problems they came to me with their mental and emotional problems as well. Being able to tackle both avenues of health at the same time is a revolutionary method of therapy that I am happy to introduce to the world.
