My understanding of back pain comes from personal experience. By the age of 12, severe scoliosis had required four surgeries. Before then, six years of gymnastics had given me a deep appreciation for movement and confidence in my body. The progression of scoliosis and the surgeries that followed brought that chapter to an abrupt end, leaving me wheelchair-bound for nearly two years.

In the years that followed, I lived with the fear that physical activity would only lead to more pain—until I discovered yoga. For the first time, I found a safe, supportive way to move my body while reducing pain and building strength. That experience became the foundation of my own healing journey and inspired me to pursue advanced education in nutrition, yoga therapy, and occupational therapy.

As my knowledge grew, I realized that movement and self-care were only part of the picture. The therapeutic power of skilled, compassionate touch plays an equally important role in healing. This realization led me to become a Licensed Massage Therapist and further develop my expertise in myotherapy.

Today, I combine yoga therapy and myotherapy to help others move with greater ease, reduce pain, and regain confidence in their bodies. Having experienced the challenges of chronic pain and the freedom that healing can bring, I approach every client with empathy, understanding, and a commitment to providing personalized, effective care.
