NormaH Lifestyle Medicine Philosophy


As a Lifestyle Medicine professional, I prioritize guiding you to a space of personal acceptance and accountability.

We are on a mission to normalize healthy living for each individual and committed to empowering every family with a 'Healthy Living Mentor' who embodies healthy living and is supported to be an effective advocate for health and healthy living. In this space you are able to clearly see the challenges in front of you and have an opportunity to connect with existing skills, traits, and abilities that will help you forward your health improvement goals. From there we can collaborate on progressive strategies that set a course toward adoption of health-oriented behaviors and decision-making processes that are in line with your clinical needs and personal vision for health and wellbeing. The overall goal of your Lifestyle Medicine process centers on merging professional guidance with your personal vision of health and wellbeing. Years of health and wellness coaching experience, master’s level competency training, and education in physiological science and research puts me in a unique position to collaborate with you to accomplish this goal. With this experience and education, I enter each coaching process having a firm understanding of the importance of taking the journey that you want to take while making sure you have the information and reflective tools to be able to make health-oriented decisions along the way. Intuitive Manual Therapy


With 17 years in practice as a Therapeutic Massage provider and informed by advanced knowledge of myofascial function and structure I have developed a unique approach called Intuitive Manual Therapy. Intuitive Manual Therapy employs a structural approach to soft tissue therapy to assist your body to experience greater comfort and enhanced function and performance. Each session utilizes a blend of myofascial, orthopedic, and craniosacral massage techniques to work through distorted myofascial pattering that is causing pain and/or reducing performance. Kevin will also work with you to retrain and rebalance your movement patterns through functional movement training.

πŸ’ͺ The Power of Acceptance in Your Health Journey

✨ Want to know the secret to moving forward in your health journey? Acceptance, a part of the Progressive Adaptation Cycle.

πŸ’š Accepting where you are right now - the good, the bad, and everything in between - is the first step towards creating lasting change.

πŸ’š When you accept yourself, you:
✨ Let go of self-criticism and negative self-talk
✨ Create space for self-compassion and self-care
✨ Focus on progress, not perfection

πŸ’š Acceptance is not about being stuck or giving up on your goals. It's about acknowledging your current reality and using it as a foundation to build upon.

πŸ’š So, take a deep breath and accept where you are. Your journey, your pace, your progress.
