You've tried everything, but the pain keeps coming back.
Physical therapy helped temporarily. Medications mask the symptoms but don't fix the problem. You're tired of being told to "just live with it" or that it's "all in your head."
The truth is, your pain has real, physical causes—and there are solutions that address what's actually happening in your body.
I bring the technical expertise developed through decades of study and practice, while you bring the wisdom of your lived experience. Together, we create space for your body to remember what it has always known about healing, alignment, and flow. My role is to listen deeply—to what your tissues are expressing, to what your movement patterns reveal, to what wants to emerge through our collaborative exploration.
Below you'll find the specific conditions I treat most effectively.
lower back pain, upper back pain, chronic back pain
Your back pain stems from a complex web of connections throughout your entire body system. Years of sitting, forward posture, and internal organ restrictions create the perfect storm for chronic back pain. (Did you know that poor digestive function and elimination can create pressure on your lower back muscles and misalign your spine?)
neck pain, stiff neck, forward head posture
Text neck represents a whole-body collapse that starts with compromised breathing patterns. When you chronically look down, your ribcage compresses, your diaphragm can't function properly, and your entire spine compensates by curving forward. This creates a cascade of fascial restrictions from your skull to your pelvis that no amount of neck stretching can fix.
frozen shoulder, shoulder blade pain
Shoulder problems rarely originate in the shoulder itself. They develop from restrictions in your ribcage, shortened breathing patterns, and compensation for spine misalignment. Your shoulders are simply adapting to imbalances that started elsewhere in your body.
chronic knee pain, knee stiffness
Your knees are caught between your hips and feet, absorbing the stress of imbalances above and below. Tight hip flexors, rotated pelvis, and collapsed arches force your knees to work overtime, leading to wear patterns and pain that won't resolve until the whole chain is addressed.
stiff joints, joint stiffness
Joint stiffness develops when your fascia becomes dehydrated and restrictive. This happens gradually through repetitive postures, lack of movement variety, and compensation patterns that limit your body's natural fluid exchange.
nerve pain, trapped nerve
Nerve compression occurs when fascial restrictions and postural imbalances create physical pressure on nerve pathways. Your body's connective tissue network can become so tight and twisted that it literally squeezes nerves, causing pain that radiates far from the original restriction.
hip flexor pain, tight hips
Hip restrictions often stem from organ congestion and emotional holding patterns stored in your pelvis. Years of sitting create shortened hip flexors, but the deeper issue is how your pelvis has adapted to protect internal organs and manage stress through postural compensation.
sciatic nerve pain, leg pain
Sciatica is your nervous system responding to structural imbalances and organ restrictions that compress nerve pathways. The piriformis muscle tightens to stabilize an unstable pelvis, often trapping the sciatic nerve as a side effect of your body's attempt to maintain balance.
muscle tension, tight muscles
Chronic muscle tension is about muscles working overtime to stabilize an unbalanced structure. When your body can't rely on efficient alignment, certain muscles must constantly contract to prevent collapse, leading to fatigue and pain.
tension headaches, neck headaches
Most headaches originate from restrictions in your neck and skull that affect fluid circulation and nerve function. Poor posture creates fascial restrictions that limit blood flow and cerebrospinal fluid movement, while jaw tension from stress compounds the problem.
jaw pain, temporomandibular joint pain, lockjaw
TMJ dysfunction reflects the accumulation of stress and tension patterns held throughout your cranial system. Your jaw muscles connect directly to your neck and skull fascia, so chronic jaw clenching from stress creates restrictions that affect your entire head and neck. The temporomandibular joint also compensates for breathing restrictions and postural imbalances that force your jaw to work overtime.
irritability, rage, resentment
Anger creates specific holding patterns, especially in your jaw, neck, and shoulders, where your body prepares for action. These areas can become chronically tight, maintaining feelings of frustration even when you want to feel calm. Physical movement, conscious breathing, and emotional expression provide healthy outlets for this powerful energy.
chronic anxiety, generalized anxiety, feeling on edge
Anxiety creates specific patterns in your body where your nervous system stays activated and your breathing becomes shallow and restricted. Your chest tightens, your shoulders rise, and your fascia contracts to protect you. Learning to slow down your breath and bringing gentle awareness to these patterns can help interrupt the cycle and create space for your system to settle.
feeling stuck, low mood, emotional numbness
Depression often shows up as a physical settling or collapsing in your chest and torso, with restricted breathing and a sense of heaviness. Your body naturally contracts inward during difficult emotional periods, creating habitual patterns of protection. Reconnecting with your breath and posture can help restore access to your natural vitality and emotional flow.
feeling scattered, can't handle stress, too much
Overwhelm happens when your nervous system feels flooded and loses its natural ability to process and integrate experiences. This shows up as scattered energy, disrupted breathing patterns, and a disconnection from your physical center. Grounding practices and mindful attention to your body's signals can help restore your capacity to stay present during challenging times.
loss, sadness, heavy heart
Grief naturally settles into your chest and heart area, creating protective restrictions around your breathing and emotional center. Your body wisely contracts to help you manage overwhelming feelings, holding space for your healing process. Allowing yourself to breathe into these tender areas with patience and self-compassion supports your natural capacity to process loss.
feeling small, lack of confidence, self-doubt
Low self-worth often manifests as a gentle collapsing inward—your chest contracts, your shoulders round forward, and your breathing becomes limited. This protective posture reflects your inner experience while also reinforcing it. Cultivating body awareness and practicing more expansive postures can help restore your sense of presence and personal power.
panic attacks, sudden fear, racing heart
Panic creates intense activation in your nervous system with rapid, shallow breathing and full-body tension. Your fascia contracts quickly to protect you, but these emergency patterns can become sensitized over time. Learning to recognize early warning signs and working with your breath can help build resilience and prevent escalation.
insomnia, restless sleep, not feeling rested
Sleep difficulties often reflect a nervous system that has trouble fully downshifting into rest mode. Your body maintains subtle activation patterns and breathing restrictions that prevent the deep relaxation necessary for restorative sleep. Developing awareness of these patterns and practicing conscious relaxation can help your system access deeper states of rest naturally.
chronic stress, burnout, always feeling "on"
Chronic stress keeps your nervous system in a state of gentle activation where true rest becomes difficult to access. Your jaw stays slightly clenched, your breathing remains shallow, and your shoulders carry tension. Creating moments of conscious stillness and deeper breathing helps your system remember its natural capacity for restoration and calm.
PTSD, emotional trauma, body memories
Emotional experiences become stored in your body's tissues, creating areas of tension, numbness, or sensitivity that hold the memory of difficult times. Your fascia and nervous system adapt to protect you by creating physical patterns that once kept you safe. Moving slowly and with conscious awareness allows these protective patterns to soften in their own time.
