BRAVO Manual Therapy + Bodywork

03/18/2026

500 classes. Had to be Hot Power. Had to be 😏.

Not a finish line. Not even a milestone I was chasing, if I’m being honest. Just a little something I looked up one day and realized I had quietly gotten to.

My practice has been a lot of things over the years—rigid, curious, performative, healing, inconsistent, disciplined, frustrating, grounding. Sometimes all of those in the same week. It’s changed as I’ve changed. It’s met me where I am, whether I liked where I was or not.

And somehow, through every version of it, I’ve kept coming back to the mat.

Not because I always want to. Not because it always feels good. But because there’s something about returning—again and again—that keeps showing me what I need to see.

These days, it feels different. Less about chasing something. More about being in it. More listening, less forcing. More okay with the ebb and flow of it all.

And maybe that’s the part I feel most grateful for.

Not just the 500 classes—but the room. The familiarity. The people. The subtle shifts that happen without announcement. The way a space can start to feel like yours without you ever needing to claim it.

Rogue has become that for me.

Anyway. No big conclusion here. Just a quiet acknowledgment:
I’m still here.
Still practicing.
Still evolving.
And for now, really content to be exactly where I am with who I am.

🙏🏼

Mobility isn’t just about range of motion.
It’s about access.

Blood leaves the heart easily.
Getting it back home? That’s where movement comes in.

This Total Body Mobility (on a MONDAY this month!) we’ll follow circulation from the ground up (did you know you have a “second heart” in the lower leg?) — using mobility, load, and breath to support the cardiovascular system where it actually needs help. Because heart health isn’t just cardio. It’s how well your tissues cooperate. ❤️

No aggressive stretching. No burnout. Just smarter movement. A Valentine to your cardiovascular system, if you will.

Total Body Mobility: The Cardiovascular System
MONDAY, February 9 @ 6pm

If you’ve been in the studio with me lately, you know we’ve been living the back body quite a bit. Posterior shoulders. Posterior chain. The parts of us that don’t get mirrors, selfies, or much credit.

Thoracic spine, rotator cuff, spinal extensors, glutes—
working together to organize the scapula, center the humeral head, the pelvic floor and move force from the ground up without unnecessary compensation.

This past month hasn’t been about “fixing” anything.
It’s been about rebuilding trust in the work that happens behind the scenes—
the slow strength, the quiet support, the muscles that show up so the flashy ones can chill.

It’s been about increasing capacity.

Better tolerance to load, cleaner transitions, and less background noise in movement.
When the posterior system does its job,
the front body can stop gripping for control.
Shoulders feel quieter.
Weight-bearing feels more distributed.
Effort becomes more efficient.

Sometimes progress isn’t more effort.
It’s learning to recruit what’s already there.
Strength where force is meant to travel—
not where it’s been leaking.

We’ll be here the rest of the month (year) because I’m preparing for a solid start to the New Year.
Not leaving what’s behind behind, but bringing it with us for a stronger, more informed, more balanced new chapter.

Total Body Mobility: Compass Testing

Do you know why you can’t move the thing you want to move? Do you know why that other thing hurts when you sit that, stand that, move that certain way? Well, get your ass to Total Body Mobility this weekend and learn how to start answering some of those questions for yourself.

Compass testing is a series of mobility baselines. It shows you where you’re limited and what you can work on to start moving better and moving forward. This Sunday, I’ll be guiding you through the 3 main mobility tests I use with private clients to assess movement function - and you’ll go home with your own personalized answer sheet to help you start taking mobility off the mat and into your life.

It’s only $10. Dude.
This Sunday, Sept. 21 @ 11:30am

Life plucked our little family out of the city and plopped us in the woods. Some old things we miss. Some new things we happily embrace. 2024 took a different kind of toll, but we made it through, together. And coming out on the other side of it with my boys? I’m good.

-

“And did you get
what you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved.
To find myself beloved on the earth.”

Late Fragment by Raymond Carver
* his rendering of one of the last conversations he had with his wife before she passed.

Hold each other close and never stop getting around to noticing all the love along the way.

Happy Holidays.

And that’s a wrap on my first year as a yoga + movement instructor. That j got to end it on mobility and foot stuff warms my festive little heart.

Reflecting over the last 12 months, I’m so thankful to each and every one of you who got me here. Those of you who inspired me to teach ( )Those who made me get over myself and just teach already (.shapes ) and, of course, those of you who took the chance on me ( )Last and certainly not least, thanks to all of you who showed up in my classes and showed up for yourselves in a way that continually reminded me why I am still passionate about what I do.

Happy Holidays from Bravo Functional Therapy. Looking forward to moving forward in 2025. Together.

🙏🏼

Calm in the stillness. Clarity in the movement.

Appreciating my practice all the more as we approach the Winter Solstice. The days feel almost smaller as the daylight becomes shorter and shorter. But eventually it will have to expand. So we’ll sit here, just for a little while, in the short darkness. The light always returns.
