Create more freedom in your life.

Current pain science indicates some of the best results in helping people with persistent pain incorporates pain neuroscience education (PNE) along with movement and relaxation techniques. Yoga is well suited to the latter and much has been learned about the experience of pain in the last 10 years or so, that you may not be aware of.  There is good news according to current evidence.

Whether sitting on a dock watching the sun, clouds and water pass by or engaging in all kinds of adventures, we all hope to participate fully in life. Does this feel out of reach?  

What is it you want to be able to do?  Are you feeling stuck? 

Do you suffer from pain and perhaps the sleepless nights, anxiety or depression that often accompanies chronic or persistent pain?

I work to support you and provide information, tools, and skills that get you on the way to living your life, the way you envision it. Together, we formulate a step-by-step plan forward.  You really can start anywhere. Most important is you’ll learn how to sustain this for yourself, over the long-term.

 

Information, skills and tools off the mat… and into your life.

First, pay attention. Awareness is the way through.
