The Method
Functional Patterns™ & Organic Intelligence™
Functional Patterns (Biomechanics Training)
Functional Patterns™ was founded in 2006 by CEO Naudi Aguilar, who has since been conducting seminars globally to certify practitioners. Functional Patterns represents a growth in the standard within the fitness industry, achieving results with clients of all different ages and abilities all over the world.

What are Functional Patterns?
There is an evolutionary blueprint to how all organisms work, and Functional Patterns has been cracking the code in human movement for nearly fifteen years. Resulting from tens of thousands of hours of testing, we have pioneered the FP methodology, syncing the physics of our natural environment to our body and health.
Our conclusion has been to train humans according to their biological movement characteristics: standing, walking, running, and throwing – the “FP Big 4.” By optimizing these four human functions, we find that clients are able to resolve a lot of their previous pain, sustainably improve their posture, and improve athletic performance.
What does the process look like?
Clients will start with an in-depth postural analysis and history, to help develop an individualized plan to immediately begin to resolve pain and improve standing posture. Early sessions will be a mix of learning myofascial (massage) release techniques and corrective postural exercises. Over time, more complex corrective movement exercises will be implemented, as well as dynamic ballistic movement to improve the elasticity of your muscles and the power of your movements.
Along the way, clients will have access to a video analysis app to receive and share videos of their homework with me, as well as receiving their exercise programming for reach week.

Organic Intelligence
Organic Intelligence™ is a somatic (of the body) coaching modality pioneered by Steven Hoskinson, for individuals looking to more deeply connect with their biology, and increase their resilience and enjoyment in the face of all that life has to offer.
Through one-on-one conversations, we will help you better connect to your external environment, re-train your attention to more easily and naturally focus on positive reinforcement, and help restore more rhythm and ease to your biology.
If you are experiencing burnout, chronic stress, or constantly feel like you are stuck in a cycle of fight, flight, or freeze, OI offers a gentle path toward growing your mental and emotional bandwidth.
Through the OI trajectory, you will learn to rebalance and recharge your system, and remember that which is truly meaningful to your life and personal journey.
As an Organic Intelligence Certified Coach, my scope is around post-trauma growth and supporting physiological robustness; I am not trained as a sole provider for the treatment of acute, crisis, or chronic trauma, or other the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness. I am not a licensed physical or mental health practitioner.
