Jonathan spent years as an electrician in NYC before chronic wrist pain forced him to transition careers. Two surgeries and a decade of treatments later, doctors told him the pain was just normal. It wasn't. Within months of practicing Ba Gua Zhang and Qi Gong, the pain was gone, his energy increased, and lifelong digestive issues resolved. He felt better in his 30s than he did in his 20s.

That experience is the foundation of everything he teaches.

Today Jonathan works directly with people dealing with chronic pain and mobility issues, helping them avoid unnecessary surgeries through movement-based practices that address the root cause, not just symptoms. He also works with athletes and active people who want to move with more precision and less wear on their body, people who feel stiff, stressed, or disconnected and want to feel more at ease, more grounded, and more balanced in their daily life, and those who simply want to build strength and vitality so they can keep doing what they love as they get older."

He brings 16+ years studying Chinese Internal Martial Arts under master practitioners, including training in Beijing with grand masters of Ba Gua Zhang, Chin Na, Qi Gong, and Nei Gong. He has over a decade of teaching experience and is currently completing his master's degree in acupuncture, with 11+ years of medical training in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tui Na, and herbal medicine for trauma and orthopedic conditions.

"What's most exciting to me is watching people discover new abilities in themselves through these timeless arts and seeing them have more and more confidence over time."
