Effective, Engaging, Enjoyable

It’s highly likely that you will look forward to returning to your next physical therapy appointment, not only because you notice improvement and healing with each visit, but because you enjoy your sessions. I enjoy them too! Physical Therapy with me is fun, relaxing, nurturing, challenging, pleasurable, and sometimes sweaty.

A Personalized Path to Healing

Your body is designed to heal. Your healing is enhanced with treatment drawn from many traditions, chosen for you. After I have listened to your needs, I use knowledge and intuition to offer the most effective solutions to help you feel better each visit. My ultimate intention is co-creating a session which serves your healing, empowerment and ability to engage in all of life’s meaningful activities.

Transformation through Movement and Manual Therapy Traditions

Movement is medicine and manual therapies can help you move better and free you from pain. 

In sessions, you learn specific movements, exercises, and self-healing practices using a wide range of movement modalities along with acupressure and massage/myofascial release that help you sense your body, rewire your nervous system, and heal. 

Your assignments may also include mindfulness, such as sipping your coffee mindfully, breathing exercises, or writing a gratitude list. I’ve also been known to ask clients to play an instrument for sheer joy, take a bath, journal, shake their fists, and hiss like an angry dragon. I may provide you with information you need to do your own acupressure or massage.

Your sessions

Your sessions are enhanced by movement activities drawn from a wide variety of physical therapy techniques as well as:

what to expect

First, we’ll do an intake to inquire about your health history and current issues. I perform an evaluation that includes testing your flexibility, strength, balance, movement patterns, core stability, joint mobility and more. We discuss goals and expected outcomes, then make a plan and begin treatment, which will consist of manual therapy, therapeutic movement and self empowerment.
