Yes, clients have the ability to text as needed.

I believe those that I coach deserve the attention to detail & support I wish I would've had when working to improve my health, fitness & performance. I offer many ways clients, both new & former, can reach out to me.

Short answer: Yes, I occasionally work with current NFL athletes. I also help their wives improve their health, fitness & mind-body well-being, too!

Long answer: Sometimes we have to make hard decisions & leave behind things that we love. It's at such challenging times I believe our values have the ability to shine through.

Rather than spending my time traveling full-time with pro athletes & NFL teams, these days I dedicate my non-Breaking Through Wellness hours to coaching my son's running teams & holding down the fort while my active duty Army husband finishes out his time in service.
