Ely is a recent graduate from Roosevelt University in Chicago, where he earned his degree in psychology with a concentration in neuroscience. A former college baseball player and lifelong multi-sport athlete, Ely spent much of his early life pushing through chronic hip, back, and neck pain, until his body told him it was time to listen.

In 2020, he was introduced to natural movement training and began his own movement recode journey. Within just two weeks of applying natural movement principles, Ely experienced a complete shift : his chronic pain disappeared, and he began moving more athletically than ever before.

Now a certified Primal Movement Coach, Ely is passionate about helping others experience that same transformation. He blends his deep understanding of psychology and neuroscience with movement coaching to guide people toward pain-free, efficient, and powerful movement patterns. Ely believes wholeheartedly in the body’s innate ability to heal and he’s here to help others reconnect to that truth.

 

 

 

 

Ainize is a professional dancer and certified Primal Movement trainer. For years, she explored various stretching routines, movement practices, and strength training, but struggled to find lasting relief from her body discomfort. She sought solutions through physiotherapy, massage, and other modalities, until discovering the effective tools and methods of Primal Movement. These techniques not only helped her eliminate pain permanently but also inspired her to move more every day. Today, Ainize shares these transformative tools with her clients, helping them experience greater mobility, strength, and freedom of movement.

 

Deb has always been a movement nerd, long before she ever became a coach. After years of sitting in lotus to read as a kid, she entered middle school unable to walk a mile without pain. Those early injuries, rooted in hyper-mobility and poor mechanics, sparked a decades-long obsession with understanding how the human body is designed to move, and what happens when we don’t. Over the past 30 years, Deb has studied and taught an unusually wide range of ancestral, rhythmic, and spiraling biomechanics systems, including West African Dance, Contact Improvisation, Capoeira, Chung Moo Doe, multiple yoga lineages, the Gokhale Method, Ido Portal–inspired movement, Functional Patterns, PRI, Balance, and GOATA. That deep exploration eventually led her to Primal Movement, where she rebuilt her own gait, avoided hip surgery, and discovered the joy of sprinting for the first time at age 57.

Her approach bridges science-driven movement education with long-term durability. Deb helps clients understand the “why” behind natural mechanics so they can build lifelong resilience—stronger joints, smarter alignment, better breathing, and a body that ages in the direction of ease instead of injury. Whether you’re new to movement, returning from pain, or seeking longevity at a high level, Deb’s mission is to help you reconnect to your body’s natural design and reclaim your birthright to move powerfully, pain-free, and with confidence at any age.

Through Primal Movement, Ed studies the interaction of the feet, hips, and thorax, as these areas often influence how the spine behaves. He blends clear explanations with simple drills that build strength, mobility, and confidence. Ed works globally online and in-person with people seeking guidance grounded in natural movement, osteopathy, and lifestyle medicine.

 

Having once struggled to maintain a traditional gym routine, Abby is deeply passionate about helping others discover their why in movement. She believes that truly caring for the body begins with awareness, learning to engage with the sensations, signals, and needs the body presents each day.

Developing a consistent movement practice allowed her to tap into the innate awareness her body already possessed, opening the door to greater freedom and joy. She is committed to helping others cultivate that same sense of connection, resilience, and embodied confidence through Primal Movement.

 

Alex Cheng has loved movement since childhood. He grew up playing a wide range of sports and exploring movement through running, swimming, jumping, climbing, biking, martial arts, and dance. His curiosity led him to formally study human movement through kinesiology, along with training in movement systems. 

While weightlifting initially helped improve his performance on the volleyball court, Alex eventually began to feel stiff, rigid, and vulnerable in his joints. Discovering Primal Movement gave him a new relationship with his body, offering more sustainable ways to move, rest, and recover.

Today, Alex is passionate about coaching others toward pain-free movement, improved performance, longevity, and greater peace of mind and body. He supports clients in building resilient, adaptable bodies that feel strong, capable, and fluid in both training and everyday life.

 

Coach Ali is passionate about helping others regain their joy through pain-free movement. With an extensive health history, her body frequently got in the way of her being the active versions of herself that she dreamed she could be.

She brings a unique approach as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), willing and able to support her clients with learning how to motivate and reinforce themselves to consistently show up in ways that can make significant changes in their bodies and lives. She has experience in a broad range of movement modalities including dance, yoga, and skateboarding. For Coach Ali, the Primal Movement framework is what has allowed her to come full circle, beat chronic pain, and finally move forward with pursuing her dreams of living naturally and fully in alignment with her values.

Coach Tripp is a Primal Movement coach based in New Orleans, Louisiana. A lifelong athlete, he was drawn to Primal Movement after years of persistent back pain during his baseball career began to limit both his performance and confidence. Traditional physical therapy failed to address the root of the issue, and unwilling to rely on medication, he sought an approach that worked with the body rather than against it.

Through Primal Movement and working directly with Karlee, he restored pain-free movement, effortless athleticism, and trust in his body. His coaching emphasizes play, natural movement patterns, and building resilient strength without breaking the body down.

He works with individuals of all ages and ability levels — from kids to older adults, and from those seeking pain relief to athletes pursuing higher performance, particularly those who care deeply about their health and fitness but aren’t seeing the results the industry promises. He believes movement should build confidence, not fear, and rejects the “no pain, no gain” mentality in favor of sustainable, intelligent training.

Jon Hunter spent over a decade working as a cannabis farmer, a physically demanding role that took a serious toll on his body. Years of long labor hours paired with traditional bodybuilding-style training led to chronic knee and hip pain, a stiff neck, and persistent back discomfort.

Discovering Primal Movement became a turning point. By retraining his movement patterns, Jon eliminated pain and regained the ability to run, hike, and move freely in daily life.

Coach Chris won't tell you he's solved it all. He spent years stuck in pain, trying the things you've probably tried, and worked his way out of it slowly, step by step. That's exactly how he coaches now: beside you, not above you, as someone still walking the path rather than someone shouting back from the finish line. He works with two kinds of people, those who train hard and want to keep doing it without breaking down, and everyday people who refuse to believe that pain and stiffness are simply "part of getting older." Both tend to arrive after the usual route, the appointments, the quick fixes, the temporary relief that never quite holds. What changes things isn't more force or more effort. It's learning to move with intention and awareness again, a little every day.

His way is patient. Groundwork, breath, calming the nervous system, and rebuilding from the ground up, until the body slowly reorganizes itself and movement starts to feel effortless the way it once did. It asks for honesty and a daily practice, and he's upfront that it isn't for everyone, there's no magic pill, and some people aren't ready for that. But for those who are, it's the way back to a body that carries you instead of holding you back. As a German-speaking coach, he's also a natural home for clients across the DACH region who want this work in their own language.

Her only ask? Show up. Together, she’ll help guide the rest.
