JJ

JJ has worked in the health and wellness industry for over 25 years.   He began in the Marines Corp as a trainer in survival swimming and has since been a trainer in kickboxing, yoga, movement therapy, functional fitness, and more.  15 years ago, during a time when JJ was facing his own trials and tribulations he found sobriety and is in recovery, then to reinforce his sobriety he used ancient mind-body exercises, meditation, and good ole fashioned therapy.  In an effort to find a system that worked for himself, he found skills he could pass on to others. 

JJ’s worked with veterans of war, veterans of the war on drugs, and anyone trying to overcome major obstacles in their life, whether it be severe trauma or heart disease, cancer, addiction or simply trying to decrease the amount of medication they are taking.  He works alongside doctors and other healthcare professionals to give clients a comprehensive path to optimal health. 

He draws from an encyclopedia of exercises that challenge the mind and body, learned from 30 years of Martial Arts, dance, Yoga and fitness .  His work has taken him to every corner of New York City and every corner of the world, including trauma relief programs in Haiti and Gaza with the Center for Mind-Body Medicine.  His clients, who come from every walk of life, all praise JJ’s creative approach, unique presence of being, and dedication to serving others.
