I work with everyone regardless of age, experience or ability. Because of my love of functional movement, my ultimate goal is to get you moving (pain-free!) in the best patterns suited for your unique body. Self awareness is a huge part of our work together; you’ll notice I base exercises off of how they feel for you, not how they’re “supposed to look”. There’s nothing wrong with you to begin with, so there’s nothing to fix - just awareness to gain and learning to be done.

Everyone has different needs, so it really depends on the individual, however I do tend to begin with soft tissue work, followed by a series of muscle activations. Once the body is primed and ready for bigger moves, we’ll integrate the activated systems and start adding load and more complex movement. I always end with stretching to make sure your recovery is comfortable and quick.

A functional movement specialist’s focus is training the physical body to function well as a whole unit in order to perform everyday tasks without pain or dysfunction. They focus far less on how you look aesthetically, and more on how you feel in your body.

The benefit of my style of training is that there are no machines required. I may have you buy some simple tools like resistance bands and a foam roller, but it all depends on what I feel like you’ll need for your specific body.

The great news is that I have lots of experience working with women in every stage of life, especially women in middle age; you’re in good hands!

Exercise—especially weight and resistance training—helps reduce your risk of osteoporosis and heart disease, while regulating hormones and boosting your mood!

Many practitioners simply have you fill out a form, but I like to turn that into more of a conversation. By speaking face to face (even on Zoom!) we can get to know each other a bit better. The first 15 minutes will consist of average questions to understand your health history and needs. During the last portion, I’ll be asking you to perform some simple movements so I can get an idea of your range of motion, abilities etc. It’s important to remember, this is not a test! This time together will help me see how you move and what I can help you with; not to mention get a sense of each other’s personality :)

NO! I have worked with clients anywhere between the ages of 12 and 94; there is no wrong time to begin practicing functional movement. Because of my specific knowledge and experience, I’m confident in working with all ages and widely varying levels of ability.

I’ve begun working on a sliding scale, so please email me directly to discuss what will work best for you. I always recommend seeing me for a complimentary assessment before deciding wether or not you can afford to work with me. I’m in this industry to help people, and I strive to do so as best I can. Sometimes even a session or two can make a huge difference in the way you move on your own going forward!

As a Certified Somatic Educator, I’m privileged to help people understand themselves better as a whole and form a working relationship with their nervous system. I offer a trauma-informed space for you to be your full self; no need for masking here.

This entails practices involving breath, movement, touch and sound - the languages our bodies speak. Sometimes we’ll talk, other times we’ll move our bodies, engage in present moment process work or a number of other things! These sessions are highly intuitively led, like almost everything I do.

I’ve always been a deeply feeling person, and have recently discovered how integral my natural sensitivity is in helping my clients meet themselves deeply. As we learn to slow down and rediscover our bodies’ innate & sacred wisdom, we can live with more ease, joy and freedom!
