Why Inner Summit Wellness?

The Inner Summit Wellness Approach

"But Coach Jim, how am I supposed to trust myself again?"

A Clear Path Forward Without Pressure or Comparison

This isn’t personal training built around pressure or comparison. It’s holistic guidance designed for you!

With me as your guide, you will take ownership of your wellness, you will become empowered to achieve your goals, and you will become confident to summit trails, send climbs, and enter into the backcountry once again.

No gym anxiety. No cookie-cutter approach. No shame or guilt. Just a clear path forward, rooted in science, nature, and self-confidence.

You don’t need to be fearless to begin. You just need the right guide to help you take the first step toward your inner summit.

You want to return to Hiking, Climbing, and Backpacking, but still feel hesitant.

You know you are not ready for the challenging terrain, but are still not sure where to go from here. The gym feels overwhelming. Online workouts feel insincere. Fitness influencers are full of filters and don't reflect your real life.

You want to feel stronger, more stable, and more confident on the trail, wall, or backcountry, but you want to do it the right way and without embarrassment, pressure, or shame.

Good news! You’re NOT lazy or unmotivated. You’re simply looking for clarity and guidance!

Evidence-Based Coaching, Grounded in Care and Confidence

Working with me one-on-one at Inner Summit Wellness, you will learn how to manage your time, stress, and sleep hygiene, as well as find meaningful workouts that get you excited to summit your goals.

As a Wellness Coach and a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy, my approach is grounded in years of expertise in evidence-based science, client-centered care, and my own journey of finding confidence in myself by overcoming my own challenges.

I don’t rely on trends or gimmicks, because lasting results come from understanding what the body needs, how to create those needs, and why those needs are important.

You’ll learn how to create workouts designed specifically to you that improve your strength, endurance, and stability, in order to trust your body and feel confident to hike, climb, and backpack without fear of re-injury.

Whether you start at home, outdoors on the trail, or even step into the gym, I meet you exactly where you are.
