Some stuff about me.

52, Married, met my husband when I was 16, together for 36 years, parents of a teenage boy who loves basketball and subjects to a cat who *demands* to be brushed when he sees fit.

For over 25 years, I’ve helped people optimize their health through nutrition, post rehab Pilates, and Osteopathic Therapy. In recent years, I’ve also extended that passion for human structure and function into education; teaching Osteopathic Therapy college students in my role as Education Facilitator.

My mission is helping people live better ❤️

My favourite book is The Da Vinci Code, and Map of Bones. I love fictional stories that are based on real historic, biblical, or scientific premise.

My biggest fear is flying! It gives me major anxiety to a point that l’ve avoided getting on a plane for the last 12 years.

What drives me nuts: people online presenting opinion as “fact”. And I get super frustrated over “health food” that isn’t healthy.

I’m really terrible about committing to social plans. I’m a hard core introvert and feel most comfortable at home in my coziest pajamas.

What brings me joy— Did I mention my pajamas? Down time with my family, walking in the woods, reading by a window with a London Fog.

3 things that shaped who I am today:

•Growing up in the country
•untimely death of my Dad
•Birth of my son

3 things I dream of doing…

•Settling down in the country
•Driving through the Eastern US states
•Visiting Israel, Greece, Italy, Prague, and London

My favourite Movie is My Cousin Vinnie 🤪 I’ve watched it so many times and I laugh every.single.time. What is a yute?! iykyk

Favourite food is the 16 hour Japanese Curry Ramen from 🍜

I couldn’t live without my Far Infrared Dome, Shiatsu neck massager, and vibration plate.

When I was a kid, I thought I’d grow up to be a writer. I took a different path “in the meantime” and it ended up feeling like the path I was meant to be on, so I stayed.

I’m into singers who can really belt it out, from Guns & Roses to Aerosmith and Adele.

My idea of a good time is laughter and board games with the people I’m closest to ❤️

What if “pain-free” wasn’t the finish line — but the foundation for what’s next?

Freedom isn’t just the absence of pain — it’s the presence of ease.
It’s waking up and trusting your body again.
It’s moving through your day without guarding every step.
It’s feeling grounded, capable, connected and alive in motion.

You don’t have to settle for “less pain.”
You can build a body that moves with ease, intelligence, and confidence — where alignment becomes your new normal.

Because feeling good in your body isn’t just the goal — it’s the baseline for everything else you’re meant to do.

✨ If you’re ready to experience that kind of freedom, book your Initial Assessment today.

You can eat all the “right” foods — but if your body is in fight-or-flight, it can’t properly digest or absorb them.

Digestion isn’t just a gut process.
It’s a nervous-system event.

When you eat in a stressed or rushed state, blood flow leaves your digestive tract, stomach acid drops, and cortisol rises — leaving you feeling bloated, inflamed, or fatigued, even after a healthy meal.

Before you eat:
🌿 Take three slow breaths
🪑 Sit and ground your body
💧 Hydrate with minerals
🍽️ Chew slowly, without distractions

Your body can’t heal, absorb, or rebuild if it doesn’t feel safe.

If more support feels like what you need, reach out.

Osteopathic treatment can help calm your nervous system and shift your body from fight-or-flight into rest-and-digest — where true nourishment happens ✨

If stretching was the key to better mobility… then why are so many people still stiff, sore, and restricted — even after years of yoga, foam rolling, and “stretching it out”?

As an Osteopathic Therapist and Pilates Instructor, I see this every day — people chasing flexibility when what their body is truly craving is alignment and stability. Once the nervous system senses instability, it restricts movement through “guarding” to keep you safe.

I’ve had clients who could bend, twist, and stretch endlessly — yet still felt tight. The moment we restored alignment and achieved dynamic stability… their mobility increased. Because mobility isn’t a muscle problem — it’s a tension management problem.

So if you keep forcing flexibility without addressing the underlying structural stability, your body will keep protecting you — through tension, compensation, and recurring restriction. You can’t stretch your way out of a stability issue.

Mobility isn’t about how far you can stretch. It’s about how your body navigates stability and adaptability through movement.

💭 3 Wellness Myths I’ve unlearned:

1️⃣ “Good posture” means straightening your spine with shoulders back
2️⃣ Pain always points to the problem
3️⃣ Stretching is the best way to release tension

We weren’t meant to just manage pain and “get through” the day.
We were meant to move through life; connected, fluid, aligned.

I know what it’s like to feel stuck in survival mode — constantly compensating, bracing, pushing through tension that never seems to resolve.
We’ve all been there. But deep down, we know we’re built for more than just maintenance.

When we show up for our bodies —through mindful movement, through informed awareness— we’re doing more than improving posture or relieving pain.
We’re rewiring how our bodies communicate.
We’re restoring flow where there was restriction.
We’re evolving into a version of ourselves that doesn’t just function… it thrives.

Because thriving isn’t about doing more: it’s about moving better with less effort.
It’s about realigning how we live in our bodies, not just how we look or perform.
I choose structure, function, and flow over shortcuts and surface fixes.

We’re here to evolve, not just exist.

Why you’re not seeing results — and it has nothing to do with discipline.

Most people don’t need more motivation.
They need better organization — within the body.

When the body’s systems are disorganized — fascia restricted, bones misaligned, viscera compressed, or lymph and nervous system communication disrupted — even the best strategy will only skim the surface.

You can’t layer new workouts, diets, or supplements on top of a misaligned structure and expect sustainable results.

The right sequence looks like this:
🩻 Osteopathy → aligning and organizing the body’s structures and systems
🧠 Pilates → re-educating movement through functional, fascia-informed patterns
🥗 Nutrition → restoring internal flow and optimizing digestion so every system can actually respond

Once structure is organized and ready to receive and respond, movement becomes intelligence in motion — and nourishment becomes information.

That’s what Structure before Strategy really means.

If your body feels resistant to every “strategy” you try, maybe it’s not the strategy that needs changing — it’s the structure it’s built on.

Ready to address the physical foundations of you and finally start truly reaping the benefits of the work you’ve been doing? Let’s get started.

STOP OUTSOURCING YOUR INTUITION.
There’s a fine line between being informed and being influenced.

We’re surrounded by experts, trends, and protocols — all promising “the” right way to eat, move, or recover.
But the most intelligent system in the room is still your own body.

Wellness isn’t found in someone else’s routine — it’s built through awareness of the data your body gives you:
tension • energy • cravings • mood • sleep.

If you’re constantly second-guessing your hunger cues, your rest needs, or your exercise rhythm because of what someone online said — it’s time to quiet the noise and tune back in.

🜂 Where structure, function, and flow meet.

Posture isn’t about ‘standing tall’ — it’s about re-establishing balance in the tension network that connects your entire body.

When fascia is restricted, your body’s internal structures get pulled into the area of restriction. But when fascia flows freely, your structure aligns naturally.

If you’re ready to release the internal ties that bind you, schedule your Initial Assessment with .pilates today.

If you’ve been stretching, strengthening, or rolling out tension/pain but still feel restricted — it’s time to look deeper.

Your fascia may be holding old stress, tension, trauma or injury patterns that keep your body from moving freely. As the pervasive connective tissue that surrounds every structure in your body, from organs to bones, muscle to skin, this internal web controls how your body moves, heals, and feels.

Through fascia-focused manual therapy + movement, we’ll address the why behind your symptoms — restoring mobility, fluidity, and alignment.
