Dave has a unique passion for athleticism, overcoming health barriers, educating about pain & improving the life of each human in front of him whether its family, friend, client or passerby. Being able to boil down complex neurological education into digestible actions to improve your health or your passion for sport is where Dave shines. He loves to walk the walk rather than talk a big game, as he has used his knowledge to overcome his own chronic knee & back pain, plus anxiety & depression. His journey has allowed him to develop immense compassion and patience to help you succeed on your health, fitness & athletic journey.

Dave is a husband, father, dog lover, basketball player, golfer, lover of all sports, world traveler, hip-hop junkie coach (and former project manager). He understands that each person’s identity is completely individual and he crafts the training experience to you. He prides himself on changing your life for the better through tiny, action steps that stack up like Legos to help you build the changes you have always wanted, the same way he did for himself, continues to do daily, and will forever be committed to.

Brain-Body Integration is how I help others improve the way they move, feel, and think in their world. My clients range from elementary school children to senior citizens, presenting issues such as learning disabilities, post-stroke losses, injuries or problems with vision, balance, or movement skills. I love individualized work, as well as the opportunity to teach group classes and deliver customized presentations to various organizations and forums.

My career, academic, and competitive athletic history leads me to this work ~ to convey healing options that are non-invasive, results-oriented, and repeatable. Together, we find the “invisible” lever [neuroscience!] that taps into your natural/neural mechanisms for expanding ability and vitality. The process resembles systems analysis, where the “system” is the whole person, involving wide-ranging inputs and unique processing. My role is to discern the disruptive patterns or parts and design neurology applications to restore you to your best self. My conviction that we can create positive changes in our body’s systems is also a powerful drive to attaining your targeted goals.

In addition to the application and research depth of the Z Health Master Practitioner Program, my prior training includes courses from the Feldenkrais Institute, Laban Institute of Movement Studies, TRX, suspension training, Gyrotonic method and Touch for Health.

Please email me your questions or to set up a time to talk. dsimmer03@gmail.com
