We challenge the false
sense of control and certainty of understanding that comes from adopting a single perspective, creating a belief that everything important can be known.
We provide opportunities to improve by using multiple perspectives of yourself and those around you - to make small, subtle adjustments in how to connect so the collective whole is more than its parts.
No one can occupy two places at the same time. We all offer a unique perspective. The more perspectives, the easier it is for us all to experience the collective whole as more than its parts.

All-ability adults swim with Gestalt trainersDate and time is TBDLocation is TBD
The core competency of Gestalt sports trainers is their ability to identify when someone has a fragmented perspective that is preventing them from embracing the whole. Training relies on accepting their judgment and acting on their instructions to step outside a fragmented perspective—that often centers on perfection—to see multiple perspectives to savor the whole as more than the sum of its parts.
Sports governing bodies inherently concentrate on the totality of their respective sports. However, when viewed through the lens of life, focusing on a single sport is a fragmented perspective. As such, we do not align ourselves with any one governing body; instead, we work alongside them all.
I hope you are well.
In the 1990s, I embarked on my career as a business analyst, focusing on identifying which aspects of social interaction could occur online and which could not. My efforts contributed to the development of some of the world's first global collaboration solutions. Upon realizing that my insights into social interaction could benefit autistic individuals, I decided to leave my corporate path behind.
With over 20 years of experience working with autistic and ADHD individuals, I've discovered that the diagnosis of autism and ADHD often stems from the belief that a fragmented perspective is the only perspective. I used basketball as a tool to engage the autistic brain, encouraging the recognition of multiple perspectives coexisting simultaneously and exploring the space between them to understand the whole human experience. As I implemented this approach, more neurotypical individuals began to join, revealing that they too were adopting a fragmented perspective, influenced by the information fed to them through their screens.
Now, I am channeling the skills I've developed to assist autistic individuals in experiencing the full spectrum of human existence, while also guiding neurotypical people living in a screen-dominated world to embrace the richness of the whole human experience.
