Ease and freedom in your body are available to all people, no matter your age, size, health, or physical abilities, I believe. I’d love to help you achieve that ease.

My pleasure comes most from physical activity, helping others, connection, and being in nature. For my whole adult life, I have been overweight, very active, and deeply interested in health and wellness. Over the past 35 years, I have found many things that support me to live comfortably and easily in my body.  Two different but integral ways I can help you support your body as I support mine are the Egoscue Method of postural alignment, and holistic massage that can include cupping, hot stones, Reiki, and other types of energy work.

I have personally used the Egoscue Method for 15 years to help keep me mobile and active while doing a physically demanding job, and I can attest it truly works! I am a Postural Alignment Specialist (PAS) certified by Egoscue University, a world leader in posture therapy.  

During a posture session, I create a personal exercise menu for you. The exercises are gentle, effective, and non-aerobic. A personalized menu can be created for anyone, regardless of age, size, or physical ability. Posture Alignment Therapy is effective in creating more mobility and can lessen pain and improve physical condition in almost any situation. 

What I love about Posture Alignment Therapy is that it gives YOU the tools to help yourself. Posture therapy helps you do all the things that you love to do.

Healing has been a focus in my life. I believe personal growth and prioritizing my own healing have made me a better practitioner. Posture Alignment Therapy looks at the body as a whole unit—that is, you cannot separate the parts from the whole. This is also how I approach massage. All of my work focuses on the whole being: the physical body, health, the spirit, the mind, and past or current trauma. I am a trauma-informed practitioner; I strive to create a safe environment that supports my clients to relax and heal.
