About Me

It was through dealing with my own pain and physical challenges that I came to change careers and began to do this work. I often missed work because of the severe chronic neck and back pain that I had developed from using my body in an imbalanced way. I, like many, suffered from Repetitive Strain Injury. I was fortunate to find practitioners of Structural Integration, Acupuncture, and other manual therapies who helped me overcome my chronic pain.

Through my own pain I found my “true calling” and that is to assist others to improve the quality of their lives.
