Services - Physical therapy, yoga, and more

My physical therapy practice integrates a traditional, yet nuanced, understanding of biomechanics and a variety of manual therapy techniques including CranioSacral Therapy, myofascial release, and visceral manipulation, with yoga and a deeper understanding of pain science and the energy systems in the body.  I take time to listen and understand each person’s story and integrate my findings into care that involves education and empowerment so that my clients feel guided and supported on their healing journey rather than disempowered and opinionless.  A session may include exercises, manual therapy, or meditation and will always include education and listening.

Therapeutic yoga offerings range from developing an individualized home yoga practice that can be modified periodically if desired, to 1 on 1 yoga sessions - each unique based on the feeling and energy of the day.  Therapeutic yoga sessions may include meditation techniques and energy work, breathing practices/pranayama, postures and movements/asana, and philosophical discussions. 

Pelvic health work includes internal and external manual therapy and energy work to address pain, incontinence, and other dysfunctions.  Scar tissue remediation and massage may be used for pelvic or abdominal scarring.  Visceral Manipulation can be useful postpartum as the abdominal organs have undergone remarkable shifts in position. Some pelvic health sessions may include energy work as part of the Holistic Pelvic Care (™) I provide. I enjoy working with anyone dealing with movement issues and/or pain during pregnancy and with folks in the postpartum time to address and honor the changes that have occurred in their bodies and lives and to offer a more holistic approach to this shift. My pelvic care is not limited to pregnancy and the recent postpartum - this work is valuable at any stage of life. 

The postpartum time can be a time for healing and discovery but, unfortunately, our current systems tend to create more distress than healing. I offer guidance, understanding, and assistance to turn the postpartum time into a time to thrive and grow.  Learn what is needed to not simply survive but embrace the opportunity to turn this remarkable time into one of beautiful transformation.
