I don't want the next ten years to look like the last twenty.
For most of my adult life, home meant staying in one place. I raised three kids on my own, building a hands-on practice that tied me to one studio, one city, one schedule. It worked. My eldest is graduating as an accountant from the University of Toronto. My 23-year-old graduated Howard University on a soccer scholarship, majoring in sports medicine, and is working toward a professional soccer career in Europe. My youngest is ten, and he wants to become a professional footballer too.
Life is changing, and so am I. I'm closing my in-person studio, but I'm not closing the work. For years I thought the value of what I did was being physically in the room with someone. After nearly two decades of watching bodies move, I know better. Most of what changes a person's body isn't my hands. It's my eyes, knowing what to look for, asking the right questions, seeing how one restriction connects to another. That's the foundation of anatomical math™, and it's something I can teach and coach from anywhere. So I'm taking the work with me.
My son is homeschooled, and I want his education to include more of the world than what fits inside a classroom. As he trains and plays in football academies around the world, we'll travel not as tourists, but as participants in something we're both building. Coaching online is what makes that possible.
For years, priority meant raising my kids on a tight income, not seeing the world myself. Clients have brought me magnets from their travels for over a decade. I have quite the collection. I've seen maybe ten percent of those places in person. This next chapter is where that changes, for both of us.
It's already teaching me something. Working with people in different countries means learning how culture shapes the way someone holds stress, moves through pain, or talks about their body in the first place. It's making me more observant, more adaptable, and better at the work itself, not less precise.
This isn't a pivot to something new. It's the same work I've always done, built to travel instead of stay put.
I've spent nearly twenty years learning how to read bodies.
Now I'm learning how to read the world, too.
