If you’ve tried massage, physical therapy, or chiropractic care and still struggle with chronic pain, you’re not alone. I’ve been there too. My own pain journey is what led me to discover Postural Therapy — and it changed everything. Now, I help others find the same freedom and relief.

Early in my career in San Francisco, I dealt with chronic back and shoulder pain. Despite trying many different treatments, nothing provided lasting relief. That experience fueled my passion for understanding the body on a deeper level.

When I discovered the Egoscue Method, the world leader in non-medical pain relief, I learned to look at the body holistically rather than just chasing symptoms. It worked — I finally found relief — and I knew I had to share this with others.

In 2004, I became a certified Postural Alignment Therapist through the Egoscue Institute.

Over the years, I’ve worked with athletes, active adults, teens, older adults, and individuals recovering from injury or chronic pain. My approach adapts to the person in front of me — not the other way around.

I believe that good posture and pain-free movement are the foundation for a healthy, active life — no matter your age, sport, or stage of life.

Whether you’re a competitive athlete looking to improve performance, a parent managing daily aches, a growing teen navigating rapid changes, or a woman experiencing midlife hormonal shifts, alignment matters.

My additional training in Menopause 2.0 allows me to support women through that specific life phase — but my core focus remains the same for every client: restore balance, build strength, and create lasting resilience.

Postural Therapy gives you the tools to take control of your health and move with confidence again.

• Postural Assessments to identify the root cause of pain or limitation
   
• Personalized exercise menus to restore balance and alignment
