Zen is the core philosophy behind the martial arts. I coach being mindful, moment by moment, to polish your miracle diamond of mindfulness. We cultivate a non judgmental attitude to relieve stress, calm our anxious mind, and bring out our best. The three core principles we will use to set your intention and achieve your goals are,

FOCUS, DISCIPLINE and FEARLESS CONFIDENCE.

Zen aims at freedom but its practice is disciplined.  Gary Snyder

ConZENtration is the master key to success and staying “in the zone”. In the words of, zentrepreneur and Star Wars creator, George Lucas, “Always remember, your focus determines your reality.” As your ability to focus and tune out distractions increases, you will experience more discipline and learn to turn fear into fearless confidence.  The best part is “love wins” and winning results will follow effortlessly.
