I help people get from where they are to where they want to be through tools including traditional physical therapy and myofascial release, Pilates & Reiki. Over the past 25 years, I have helped people just like you to get out of pain, to rebuild strength and confidence in themselves (more than just physical!), and get back to or keep doing the things they love. Myofascial release is a gentle yet powerful manual therapy technique used to treat the entire fascial web of your body. Your fascial web extends from the deepest layer of your cells to the most superficial layer of fascia underneath your skin, in one continuous sheath. (Imagine wrapping everything in your fridge in one continues sheet of plastic wrap without tearing it. Pulling something in one corner will have far reaching effects into the opposite corner!) We treat your body as a whole, and your being as a whole. We will also focus on self care at home and corrective exercises because the one of the first goals is to put some control back into your hands. When you're ready to move on to the next phase, Not Strictly Pilates classes are a great transition to help you get even stronger and more centered than before!

My wall of study is finally coming along!!
I’m a huge nerd, always studying something or otter- and it’s all so interconnected.
I finally learned how to sketch and draw a bit tge past few years (thanks to Slow River Studio).
My goal has been to catve out time to combine the two things!
Here’s to my Stetching Adventure 2026
(studying +sketching).
Or maybe that should be My Skrawing Adventure 2026 (sketching +drawing)
Or something else entirely…
Thoughts? Suggestions?

We’ve spent a lot of years dealing with inrealistic photo shopped images.
Now it’s AI generated actresses.
My recommendation
1. If it seems too good to be true, it is.
2. Health and fitness goals that stick long term are for YOU.
How will you feel?
What will you accomplish?
What will you enjoy?
There are so many great fitness programs available now, nuanced for your needs.
I hope you find a great fit- but due diligence.
Do not be fooled by ai actors.

If you haven’t been to Jolie Tea in Beverly (or it’s been a while),
Reach out to a friend you haven’t seen in a while.
It’s such a lovely place.
I had a chance to catch up with a froend I haven’t seen in a while,
Had a lovely pot of tea,
And admire these fabulous dresses!

Pilates.
This may look easy.
But I can assure you, it's way harder than it looks.
This is a brief clip from my training session today, with my Pilates Trainer, Jennifer Kries.
I'm studying the legacy Pilates work with Jennifer (that means the old stuff, the original work that Joe taught Romana and Romana taught Jennifer, if you're into the history of it.)
In addition to meeting for a tutorials and supervised coaching sessions, each week I have my own private session.
We're working on some issues with my feet (a stiff big toe).
It doesn't hurt, and I can run and sprint and play softball to my hearts content (thankfully) but it doesn't move fully.
And that means I'm compensating when I do all of the things I love to do.
Compensating means cheaty-cheaty, moving in ways that are not optimal for the rest of my muscles/ bones/ joints/tendons/ and fascia.
I can do my own self release - but its not the same as having someone else work on me. They've got better perspective, better leverage.
I can do my own exercises - but it's not the same as having someone else train me, catch me in my cheats, and help me to improve.
I'm 54.
I still run and play softball and hike and garden.
And I don't see any reason to stop working on getting better as I get older.
If you're ready to make 2026 the best year of your life,
I can help.
When you book your physical therapy sessions with me,
we'll focus on your goals.
And we'll integrate treatment tools that will make the most impact for your particular situation - whether that's mostly manual therapy including myofascial release, or mostly corrective exercise progressing on up through the full Pilates mat repertoire.
I've got openings next Wednesday, December 17th at 9:45 and 11:00 am if your ready to get started!

Life is more fun when you can keep doing what you love!
We help people over 30 live with strength and confidence in their bodies so they can lead active & healthy lives, even if they have been troubled by nagging injuries for years; WITHOUT unnecessary medications or medical procedures.
I hear from people all the time that they are frustrated with nagging aches or pains - neck, shoulders, back, hips, or knees. Sometimes these things come and go, and sometimes they are always there, just worse after you “do anything physical.” You may want to keep running, or cycling, or playing sports, or having fun with your kids but they keep getting into trouble. Your neck or back “goes out”, or your hips start waking them at night or when your sitting or walking.
We are here to help you. Help you figure out and understand just what’s gone wrong with your body, and what you can do about it. We can help get your body pointed in the right direction with hands on therapy to help you release what’s tight, or encourage systems that aren’t doing their fair share. It’s hard - our therapists spent many years in school, and continue studying and learning all the time. We can help you make sense of all the information out there so you can be confident you are making the best health care decisions!
We are on a mission to help make the world a better place through movement, education, inspiration, and transformation.
We are guided by our core values:
Make a positive impact with every interaction.
Be honest, kind, and encouraging.
Be curious, pursue growth and learning.
Be adventurous, open minded, and creative.
Be resourceful and industrious.
Share love and spread joy.
Build a supportive team with a joyful and loving spirit.
Build relationships.
Lead by example.
Embrace and drive change.
