It all started with a strange sensation in my left palm—not what I would call pain, exactly. As if I had slept on my hand or a bee had somehow got trapped inside my palm, its venom pulling my thumb and pinky together. But when I looked at my hand, it looked perfectly normal. I kept stretching it open and rubbing my palm, trying to figure out what was causing the strange sensation. Had I somehow compressed my hand under the pillow during the night? Tingling like when a limb has fallen asleep, except this didn’t go away. After a few days, I mentioned it to a friend who works in healthcare. She said, “That’s not your hand. That’s your neck.” I knew I was in trouble.
I've been living with 7 repetitive strain injuries for more than 20 years. I'm also an artist, so I know what you're going through. And I think I can help.
“Thank you so much for referring me out to such a knowledgeable practitioner. His background blew me away with his depth of understanding about singers.”

Public Speaking
Patient communication and engagement are both hot topics in healthcare right now. Data shows they increase access, equity, and inclusion. I’ve lived it. I’m also a professional communicator. My subject matter expertise includes repetitive strain injuries, chronic pain, and productivity.
My first-hand experience, passion, and vision make me a very compelling speaker whether your audience is patients, practitioners, or policymakers. As both an injured worker and a small business owner, I approach public policy from a win/win perspective.
RSI and chronic pain remain top cost drivers in public health today. Prevention saves money and human capital.
