I have lived with chronic pain for twenty years. I have and continue to utilize the incredible healing modalities available to me (that I am so so privileged to be able to afford). Massage, acupuncture, chiropractic, healing foods and supplements, Cranio-sacral and osteopathy, naturopathic care. I practice yoga and walk outside daily, exercise and swim often. I love all of the above, and this physical experience truly led me to my life's trajectory - yoga and then Somatics. AND YET, I have always felt how easeful it might be to not need the above in order to function well.

See HERE where we support low-income folks in accessing the healing modalities they need, want and deserve.

It is because of my physical experience that I began to seek out the subtler practices of Feldenkreis and Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing. I had long been practicing and teaching yin yoga in a subtler way, knowing that to heal I needed to access the root. The root being the nervous system, and the ONLY way we can re-wire the nervous system is through:

+ slow-like-honey movement and release
+ mindfulness

Nevertheless, it wasn’t until a jaw injury and a chronic illness diagnosis that I began to practice what I preach on a daily basis - and to relatively miraculous avail. As someone who likes to ‘move’, ‘workout’ and ‘sweat’, it was difficult to stop all activity except my slow clinical somatic exercises - it was like asking myself “do I really believe this subtle a practice can heal me???” And as with everything, when I have nothing to lose, I gain everything!

Clinical somatic exercises practiced daily for one year and my body has made the wildest shifts - and long lasting because I finally went to the root of the problem - my nervous system.

In this course, I will teach YOU how you can heal the chronic pain or condition you have been experiencing through lecture and practices that will quite literally change your life.
