Recovery Fundamentals for Martial Arts (and Life)

I’m excited to be leading a seminar at my martial arts school, ! 🥋
Not a Quest student? No problem. 
Not a martial arts practitioner? Also not a problem. This event is open to everyone - BUT you do have to sign up (link in the bio).

Here’s the fancy description:

“Join us for a practical and informative seminar on recovery—what it actually means, what truly makes a difference, and how to apply it to your own training. We’ll break down the fundamentals of effective recovery, cut through common myths, and help you identify where your personal routine might be falling short. This session includes a self-evaluation component to pinpoint your individual recovery needs, plus actionable strategies you can start using right away. We’ll also open up a discussion around training while managing injuries—when to push, when to pull back, and how to stay in the game long-term.”

Sat. August 23rd
1-2:30 ish

Saturday, I competed in my first tournament in over 20 years.
And yep—it brought up a lot.
Why compete?
Honestly, it was about learning.
🔹 Learning where I stand in the broader BJJ community. I usually believe “comparison is the thief of joy,” but stepping outside your usual training bubble can provide valuable perspective.
🔹 Learning how to manage weight intentionally. I didn’t do a major cut, but this was the first time I had to be thoughtful about the scale.
🔹 And most importantly—reconnecting with the athlete side of being a sports massage therapist. It’s one thing to help clients through the grind. It’s another to live it again firsthand with a training cycle and an event circled on the calendar.

Huge thank-you’s are in order:
🥋 at – daily instruction, coaching, and constant inspiration
🥋 – for Sunday sessions and mentorship
🥋 My training partners at Quest Jiu-Jitsu—especially those who showed up to compete or support
🥋 – for hosting a well-run event
🥋 My competitors – respectful, skilled, and tough matches
🥋 – the Conditioning Coach Course delivered serious value, and this was my first time applying it as an athlete, not a coach
🥋 – thanks for double-checking my day-of nutrition game plan
🙏 Everyone who’s reached out, sent kind words, or simply hit “like”—it all meant a lot
Takeaways:
✔️ Everyone should compete in something once a year—BJJ, a 5k, a lifting meet, whatever feels meaningful. Having something on the calendar gives your training direction or just inject some more motivation.
✔️ I want to build and adhere to stricter Fight Camp leading up to the next one.
✔️ I really need to work on my grip breaks 😅
✔️ I’m sure I’m forgetting something—but I wanted to share this while it’s still fresh and the motivation’s high.
Here’s to staying a student of the game.

If there any of these bullet points you’d like to hear more about, leave a comment. I’d be happy to share more on each topic.

🎇 Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸

Here’s to a day full of freedom, fireworks, and pretending lawn games count as cardio. 🧨🏃‍♂️💨

If you pulled a muscle during an intense game of co****le, overdid it on the slip ‘n slide, or strained your neck watching fireworks—don’t worry, we’ve got your back (literally). 😎👐

Enjoy the festivities and stay safe.

Happy Olympic & Paralympic Day!
I’m so grateful to have been part of Team USA for three Olympic Games… so far 🇺🇸✨

It’s an incredible honor to support our athletes on the world stage—but even more powerful is witnessing how sport brings people together across cultures, languages, and borders.
Here’s to unity, resilience, and the power of movement. 🫶🌍

This Memorial Day, we honor the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

As we reflect on their courage and commitment, we’re reminded of the importance of care—both for ourselves and for one another.

Wishing you a peaceful and restorative Memorial Day.

Just finished LTAP Level 1 this past weekend and my brain is doing cartwheels 🤸‍♂️ (but like…functional, well-assessed cartwheels).
It’s becoming pretty common knowledge that “everything is connected” in the body—but helped me see the hierarchy of those connections. Honestly, it was one of those “no duh, how did I not see that before?!” moments.

That insight led me to her LTAP course—a systematic way to assess what needs attention first (instead of just chasing symptoms). Game changer.

Big thanks to the brilliant Anna for making complex ideas make actual sense—and to for opening your space to us and hosting this amazing crew of curious, slightly nerdy providers. 🙌

Can’t wait to bring this fresh nerdy goodness into my work!

Some of my favorite traditions with the Diving Medical Staff:
First pic is (most of) the medical providers from various countries. Such an enormous wealth of talent and knowledge (plus the tall, goofy guy from the US 😂).
Second pic is the “team behind the team” for US Diving taking our now famous 10m selfie. They such an awesome crew and I’m ever grateful for my time with them.
