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!

I'd love to hear how your using AI, wether for business or personal use.
What's one thing you love about it?
Do you have any concerns about the environmental impact?
I've started exploring a bit, because to be honest it sounds like if I don't move forward I will fall behind.
I'm a complete novice, but it is fun to have a sounding board that is super nerdy, has a much bigger knowledge base than I do, and still fun and friendly.

This weekend I did a thing
I used to see A LOT before kids.
I love it- it’s very soothing.
I haven’t done as much the past 18 years,
Though what made me realize I needed class was one of the times I pulled my machine out when I was in my forties 😂 👓
So this weekend I vlubteered with a group in Georgetown that meets up every so often to make Dresses for Africa
All the materials are supplied, and the woman who runs will even teach you how to sew if you don’t know how.
This is my first dress! (I made 2).
I’m planning to go back for tge next round in January.
If you’re interested I can share contact info!

This week I spent some time networking during Tail Thumping Thursday at Kitty Cat Cafe and Adoption Lounge Inc. in Peabody.
These cats don’t have business cards (or businesses),
but they do love eating treats and playing with toys!
If you’re looking to mix up your work from home routine, I highly recommend!
They’ve got coffee and tea and their human, Uri, will make you feel very welcome.

Frankensteins' Monster has a lot of issues to work on, so he's really got to prioritize.
Decide what matter's most at this time and focus on that.
Definitely he could use some work on mobility - spine and extremities.
Probably some nervous system regulation too. I can only imagine what with being sewn up from different bodies, electrocuted into life, chased by the villagers with torches - he may not be feeling totally in control and connected to himself.
Frankensteins' Monster could definitely benefit from physical therapy with an empasis on manual therapies like myofascial release and visceral manipulation.
He'd also benefit a great deal from Pilates - tuning in and connecting to self, breath work to calm the nervous system and center himself. Working on precise, fluid, controlled movement with ease.

Do you ever feel just kind of "off"?
Did you know that the two halves of your pelvis (the ilium) are kind of like wagon wheels on your sacrum, meeting at the Sacroiliac, or SI, joint.
Ideally at rest the two halves of your pelvis are symmetrically balanced.
When you bend forward, they move together. When you're walking or running, they move in a coordinated reciprocal pattern - each kind of doing the opposite of the other. There's not a lot of movement at the SI joints, but there's just enough. So if you've got too much movement, too little movement, or out of sync movement you'll likely feel it somewhere. Maybe in your low back or SI joint - or maybe somewhere further afield like your hip or knee or foot, or into your neck or shoulder, or maybe even a bunch of places over time.
Good news: It's there's a LOT you can do to correct pelvic assymetries. Part of it is some hands on manual therapy stuff (lot's of different ways to do it, lot's of different practitioners do it) - and that should never hurt! And then there's home work you can do to keep yourself in optimal alignment - maybe exercise or self release or becoming aware of habitual postures and positions that might keep driving you into wonky alignment.
When a new client comes to see me, one of the things I typically do in a first session is look at their posture, alignment and some basic movements, including some of the body land marks of their pelvis that can tell me a bit about if they are in optimal position or not.
When I do see a significant asymmetry, in their pelvis I ask them if they feel even or if they feel uneven or off balance.
Most of the time they'll tell me they've been feeling uneven or off.
Once we do some treatments to rebalance their pelvis, they stand up again and when the initial treatment works they'll say they feel more even or more balanced, and can often stand on one leg and balance better than prior to the session.
Next time they come in we'll check again. Sometimes it's one and done, but since most of my clients have had ongoing pain for quite sometime they'll need several sessions to restore balance to their pelvis, to remind their body where the midline lies, and in some cases to teach them how to self correct their pelvis at home.
This isn't the whole story, or the whole journey. It's just the first step in the process.
But it can make a big difference in symptoms.
You're body wants to be well.
Sometimes it just needs a little help getting pointed in the right direction.
WHen you need me, I'll be here.

Spending some time reviewing my notes from Visceral Manipulation Level 1 from the Institue this weekend while I wait for my kiddo at tge gym.
I cannot wait to share this amazing work with my clients this weekend while!!
“The putpose of visceral manipulation is to recreate, harmonize and increase proprioceptive communication in the body to enhance its internal mecchanisms for better health”
-Jean-Pierre Barral
That resonates hard.
If you’ve been on my treatment table, you know we either start or finish almost every session with a healing meditation to help recconect you to your bodies own wisdom and natural healing process.
(Yes, we do sometimes need medications, procedures, surgeries,etc. Even when you do reach a point where surgery is necessary, be connected to your bodies desire for homeostasis, to be well, can help.)

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.
