Through The Journeer I am to share the insights and techniques I’ve developed over 35 years as a competitive ballroom dancer and 15 years of expertise in functional movement and holistic peak performance coaching.

    For 7 years I have been fortunate to have performance coaching with Vesko, who is a consummate professional. During this time I had back surgery with some complications that two physical therapy centers couldn't figure out. Through his knowledge of anatomy & body movement Vesko helped me correct movement inefficiencies, eliminating chronic pain and fatigue in no time.

    I have learned to expand awareness about my intuition, and strengthen my body to remain at maximum health, reduce stress and anxiety. Vesko through his teachings of energy work and breathing techniques has helped me achieve an understanding of the relationship between breath, body and mind. These methods helped me create an environment of acceptance and peace. I look forward to each class which helps me to understand and experience life more fully.

I have not only developed confidence in dancing, I have also developed more flexibility and mobility in my body through his tailored coaching.
