"As long as I can conceive something better than myself, I cannot be easy unless I am striving to bring it into existence or clearing the way for it." George Bernard Shaw and I share the philosophy that we must constantly strive to make ourselves better, and it is with that philosophy that my journey into the healing arts began.

Sports and athletics have always been a big part of my life - beginning with gymnastics and baseball in my childhood, and exploring tennis and cycling as a teenager. A dedication to a multitude of martial arts forms over the last 20 years has helped to round out my athletic interests. In my late teens, while watching the Olympics, my world was rocked by a life-changing epiphany. I realized that with the way human beings are constantly breaking world records, there seemed to be a virtually unlimited potential locked within us. My quest to discover the secrets of the human potential led me on a journey that continues today.

For over 12 years, I have been dedicated to discovering the synchronicity of the body’s systems and learning how to bring the body back into balance so that it can achieve its full potential. To that end I have studied and become certified in the fields of bodywork, energy work, nutrition, health, kinesiology, and martial arts. You are an individual deserving customized, individualized treatment and care. I have learned many skills to increase your performance and health. Tailoring these skills to your specific needs makes your performance enhancement rapid, powerful, and successful.

You will rarely find someone who is as dedicated to or caring about helping you reach your full potential or relieving your ailments as I am. My empathic nature assures that you are treated, at all times, as an individual who is worthy of respect and who deserves the very best of life.

Lord Chesterfield said, "You must look into people, as well as at them." By looking into you and seeing what your body really needs, I will help you.

Ari Gronich

The Genius who created The Gronich Method

To be the cutting edge in physical performance training and injury rehabilitation. To provide clients with the knowledge that here they are receiving the greatest level of care. To constantly learn and innovate the latest techniques and technology so that I maintain the highest level of service with results second to none. To expand the knowledge and actions of those I affect so that I bring a consistent level of health and vitality to the world.

Create a fundamental change in the global community from a strictly reactive system of medicine that focuses on symptom and emergency treatment to a proactive system based on whole-being health as well as illness and injury prevention. Personally teach and influence at least one million people.

• YOU will be honored as an individual, rather than fit into a predetermined program. I center on the person rather than a technique.

• Having gone through pain, injury, and rehabilitation myself, and experienced deep pains i am able to both understand and empathize with my patients

• As an athlete and competitor, I am intimately familiar with that mindset and know what it takes to break the mold and reach new heights.

• Rather than having education in only a single modality or technique, I have training in a multitude of modalities and therefore can draw from a broad spectrum of knowledge and experience

• My styles of training and rehabilitation are unique and personable, creating a sense of safety without fear of judgment or preconceived views.. I have a very distinctive methodology that offers a very well rounded healing experience

• My patients are all people who are goal-oriented and focused on creating lifestyle changes towards greater health. Whether this means they are just beginning these changes, or whether they’ve been active, and now want to push themselves past their previous limits, their goals and motivation are my primary concern. In this way we have targets to reach that keep the focus steady and make sure that no chance of reverting to previous conditions occur

• Finally, the trait that separates me most from typical trainers or therapists is that while I start with injury rehabilitation, I then begin to focus on injury prevention as well as performance enhancement. You won’t find yourself halfway toward your goals and then suddenly sitting out with injury. People, get really interested in training and becoming more healthy, they start a program and are making great progress, however because of the lack of attention to other areas, are suddenly injured and can now no longer train for a period of time. I know all too well the sense of futility and hopelessness that can set in when all of the progress that was made now drifts away and not only are you back to where you started, but you may have even gotten worse. It is like taking the wind out of your sails and now you are drifting with no momentum. My complete programs keep you on target progressing towards both goals – injury prevention and performance enhancement. You never will experience those kinds of injuries with me.
