Education & Certifications | ELDOA, SomaTraining & NASM

My coaching approach is rooted in anatomy, biomechanics, and fascia health.
Every session combines evidence-based training with deep knowledge of the human body to help you move better, feel stronger, and live pain-free.
My background extends beyond traditional personal training — blending advanced education in ELDOA, SomaTraining, and Corrective Exercise for long-term results.

ELDOA Education

Certified ELDOA Trainer
Trained under Bryce Turner.

ELDOA (Étirements Longitudinaux avec Decoaptation Ostéo-Articulaire) is a precise system of postural exercises that create space in specific spinal and joint segments.
It improves posture, restores mobility, reduces pain, and enhances overall performance by improving the health of fascia and joint structures.

Application in Practice:

  • Spinal decompression and pain relief

  • Posture correction and alignment

  • Joint mobility and disc hydration

  • Nervous system rebalancing and recovery

SomaTraining Certifications

Certifications actions the SomaTraining Program by Dr. Guy Voyer, DO — a comprehensive system integrating movement, therapy, and performance.

Completed Certifications:

  • Segmental Strengthening of the Abdominals & Thoracic Diaphragm – Develops each layer of the abdominal system to improve stability, breathing, and movement efficiency.

  • Myofascial Stretching – advanced stretching techniques to lengthen and rehydrate fascia.

  • Orthopedic Strapping – support and corrective application for muscular and joint dysfunction.

  • Circulatory & Respiratory Techniques – optimizing breathing mechanics and fluid movement.

  • Specific ELDOA– Anatomically designed to normalize movement, improve disc health, and reduce mechanical stress on the spine, cranial structures, and surrounding fascia.

Application in Practice:
Combining these disciplines allows me to assess and correct imbalances, restore efficient movement patterns, and improve strength through healthy tissue and posture.

NASM Certifications

Why This Matters

This education allows me to deliver a truly individualized training experience.
Each program blends corrective exercise, fascial stretching, and postural strength to not only help you move better, but to build lasting mobility, resilience, and confidence. I am proud to serve my community of NewportBeach, Costa Mesa, Irvine and all of Orange County.
