Ron Lemire is a world-renowned holistic healer, specializing in structural movement, Cranial Sacral therapy, Hoshino therapy, and Homeopathy. He is also a writer, teacher, lecturer and blackbelt. Ron has spent a lifetime helping thousands of people function at a higher level, get stronger and achieve peak performance… now it’s your turn!

At the elite level Ron has worked with professional athletes, dancers, musicians and performers across multiple disciplines. He spent seven years with the legendary John Denver as his personal health and wellness coach, bodyguard, and personal chef while also acting as head of security for an entourage of 40 people touring with JD. He later worked as a Therapist and Movement Coach for the Indiana Pacers contributing to their peak performance during the 1993 playoff season.

The Liquid Trainer has been taught to elite coaches, personal trainers and professional practitioners including Rolfers, Feldenkrais, Alexander, Trager, Chiropractors, Osteopaths, Physical, Occupational and Sports Therapists. It is used by some of the most highly trained and kinesthetically aware performers in the disciplined fields of Sports, Dance and Martial Arts.

A 1972 Graduate of Maine Maritime Academy with a BS Degree in Marine Engineering and a 3rd Assistant’s license for unlimited horsepower in Steam and Diesel Engines. Ron began his career at sea, working aboard commercial vessels.  His path eventually led him to Boulder, Colorado   where the convergence of East and West healing modalities were merging. Immersed in this environment, Ron apprenticed and trained in healing curriculums of the East/West Foundation in the study of Macrobiotics, became a licensed masseuse from the Gainesville School of Massage Therapy, and became a certified Hoshino Therapist while apprenticing and working out of the Hoshino Therapy Clinics in Boca Raton and Coconut Grove, Florida. He obtained a Homeopathic certification from the Hahnemann Academy of North America under the auspices of Dr. Robin Murphy, long time friend and teacher.

Over the past 40 years Ron has distilled his life’s work into what he describes as one of the most advanced tools applied to all movement disciplines in the acceleration of Motor Sensory Awareness. The Liquid Trainer combines the natural properties of water with a proprietary movement system, the Flo Dynamic Movement System, providing instant biofeedback to the user’s core intelligence and enabling complex, integrated movement patterns not achievable through conventional training methods.
