I find joy and fulfillment in working with clients to help them understand and heal their bodies. I aim to demystify chronic, complicated, and confusing symptoms and provide you with the knowledge and tools to recover from your pain, injury, or dysfunction.

My approach is evidence-based and trauma-informed, and I tailor treatments and education based on the specific needs of my clients. I focus on exercise, education, and touch based interventions but also incorporate techniques to help regulate the nervous system.

While my primary area of expertise is women’s, transgender, and pelvic health, I also have extensive experience and enjoy treating orthopedic impairments, particularly back, neck, hip, and shoulder pain. I utilize many different healing techniques, including:

• hands-on manual therapy for joints, fascia, and muscle
• dry needling
• postural reeducation
• behavior and lifestyle modifications breath and body awareness training sensory integration
• multiple forms of exercise and movement, including yoga, pilates, and qi gong
• educating you on other available resources and providers to further support your healing process
