I was diagnosed with scoliosis just before starting high school, but I didn't really understand what it meant for me. My back had a 30 degree thoracic and 22 degree lumbar curve, and I didn't even remember seeing the X-ray of my back.

While studying to become a physical therapist, I discovered the Schroth method for scoliosis, which finally made sense of my experiences. 

I started Strength and Spine in 2020 to help people with scoliosis and spinal fusion from all over the world work out in the gym, combining my knowledge of Schroth and strength training. My clients were getting stronger and feeling empowered, just like I did when I learned about my own scoliosis. 

I became the coach I needed when I was growing up, and I see my scoliosis as a gift that allows me to help and inspire others to feel strong and empowered in their own lives.
