About
I build containers, not willpower
Milwaukee-based. Exercise physiology and psychology out of Marquette, fifteen-plus years in health and human development, and a practice built on structure.
My background is health, fitness, and human development. I started as an ISSA-certified personal trainer at eighteen and spent around eight years as a fitness coordinator at a nonprofit Native American health clinic, where I built a youth program and led elder strength and mobility classes. Former powerlifter, self-rehabbed from injury, moved toward a more holistic, whole-person philosophy along the way.
More recently I have worked as a peer-support mentor for youth and adults, and I write harm-reduction content for a Milwaukee nonprofit: overdose prevention, safety planning, the clear and non-judgmental kind of copy that meets people where they are. The same instinct runs through all of it. Say the true thing plainly. Build the structure that holds.
The eight principles
Most of what I teach rolls up into eight practices. They are grounded in real research and set as an oracle deck, which is just a way of making them memorable and usable rather than mystical. Tarot here is a reflective framework, not fortune-telling.
- 01
Begin before you’re ready
Momentum is built from micro-actions, not motivation.
- 02
The first pause
A thirty-second somatic reset between the signal and the pull.
- 03
Boundaries that build
The most liberating structures are the ones you choose.
- 04
Mentorship & consistency
Reliability, repeated, is the actual superpower.
- 05
Hold the tension
Discomfort is directional data, not a stop sign.
- 06
Let the work teach you
Repetition becomes skill, and skill becomes identity.
- 07
Tiny notes, fuller days
Brief reflection expands time and strengthens memory.
- 08
Rebuild lightly
Lapses are events, not verdicts. There is always a path back.
I cannot promise I can help. I can promise to show up like a teammate, and let the work teach us both.
How I work
And the music
I produce bass music as NOSAJ and mix in Ableton, caring about the technical craft the same way I care about a training block: headroom, texture, follow-through. Drum and bass, phonk, dubstep. The gym and the sound system have always been the same room to me.
