"My whole journey came along through multiple injuries (3 back herniation, knee tear, rotator-cuff tear, broken almost every rib, finger and toe, among others) and I was lucky enough to find certain health options other than surgery.

Fast forward 15 years and I left a successful career in finance to dedicate my life to helping others. I am pain free and have never been more excited to share what has helped me so much both from a recovery and performance standpoint.

I became certified in yoga (RYT-500), Functional Movement, Pilates, Kettlebells, Biomechanics, Meditation (Neuroscience and Love & Kindness), Breathing Techniques, Olympic Weightlifting, among other modalities and facilitate these offerings at events, hotels, corporations and in local studios like Chelsea Piers.

I am an avid skier and have found many of these modalities (yoga, HIIT, breathing techniques, etc) to nicely prepare individuals for the ski season." -Nicolas De Alejo
