Why choose to work with me?
It can be incredibly helpful to work with someone who has personally experienced chronic pain and symptoms, someone who can not only share science and education but also deeply understand what you’re going through. I know how challenging it can be to navigate this journey because I’ve been through it myself. My personal experience, combined with my education and expertise, allows me to support you with evidence-based tools and genuine compassion.
I hold a BA in Behavioral Science from the Psychology Department and am a certified Pilates instructor (both mat and apparatus) with 15 years of experience. I have worked with athletes, non-athletes, and individuals of all ages, including those with complex injuries. More details about working with complex injuries appear in the section below.
My evolving knowledge of bodywork, sports science, and nervous system regulation reflects the latest advancements in healing and movement. I integrate emotional work alongside tailored movement programs designed to support your unique needs.
Whether you are navigating emotional overwhelm, nervous system dysregulation, or physical challenges such as being bedridden, experiencing muscle loss, movement limitations from chronic pain avoidance, or persistent pain from an old injury, I am here to support you on all levels. My goal is to guide you back to movement, restore your confidence, and help you live life fully again.
Through my studies in trauma work, emotional therapy, and brain science, I take a comprehensive, whole-person approach. Everyone has a story, one that we might not fully understand or may have learned to disconnect from as a coping mechanism. My role is to listen, connect the dots, and help you reconnect with your body’s language. I provide continuous support and check-ins, so you never have to do this alone. There is always a way forward.

Working with Complex Injuries and Pain Management
Many people experience phantom limb pain, nerve pain after amputations, or other complex neurological or structural conditions. This pain is real and can be challenging, but understanding how the brain and nervous system process pain signals can make a significant difference in managing it. Through the methods I use, these strategies have been shown to reduce pain levels and teach practical ways to manage pain effectively.
Having worked in a rehabilitation center with amputees and individuals with complex injuries, I understand the unique physical and emotional challenges this brings.
Through mind-body strategies, pain neuroscience education (PNE), and movement-based therapies, I help people manage pain, improve movement, and retrain the nervous system.
This approach helps individuals reconnect with their body, gain confidence in movement, and develop practical tools to handle pain, supporting them to regain independence and quality of life, even when facing complex or chronic conditions.
Additional Certifications
I am also a certified Thai Massage Therapist and Anatomy Trains Fascia Bodyworker.
Are You Struggling with These Patterns?
Personality Traits
people pleaser
hyper vigilance
difficult to set boundaries
afraid of making mistakes
perfectionist
frequent guilt
care taking others
self criticism
If you answered yes to any of these personality patterns and you are dealing with chronic pain or symptoms, my coaching can help address these emotional patterns. We now know there is a strong correlation between certain personality traits and ongoing physical symptoms, and we can work together to break this cycle.
*Before starting the process
it’s important to rule out any structural causes with a doctor. Conditions like infections, rheumatologic diseases, or cancer should be excluded first, before assuming your pain is due to Neuroplastic Pain,
I offer a free 30-minute consultation to help determine if your pain may be Neuroplastic Pain.
This approach can be effective no matter how long you’ve had your pain or syndrome, whether it’s been months, years, or even decades.
If your pain has persisted for more than 3 to 6 months, there’s a higher likelihood that Neuroplastic Pain is a contributing factor. In our discovery call, we will go through a full questionnaire to assess your condition.
Understanding Healing Time & Recovery
On average, tissues heal within 3 to 6 months, some faster, some slower. However, if pain persists beyond the normal healing period, it may no longer be due to an active injury but rather the nervous system’s learned pain response.
This approach has success stories of full recovery, even in cases where doctors have diagnosed chronic syndromes. If you’ve been told you have a syndrome but are still searching for answers, there’s hope for healing.
