Meet Ethan!
I love helping people reach their goals, whether that means getting out of pain, moving with more confidence, or excelling in the activities they care about most. Every person I work with brings unique priorities, and those priorities become my number one focus. My approach is centered on listening first, then creating a plan that’s tailored to your needs, so you can get back to living the life you want. Helping people unlock their full potential isn’t just my profession, it’s my passion.
I’m originally from Santa Maria, CA; however, Texas has been home for me since 2021. I’m so grateful to be here, serving the Flower Mound and greater DFW community.
