I specialize in the alleviation of chronic pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, women's health, and orthopedic/musculoskeletal conditions. I believe in quality care that focuses on prevention and treatment and strongly believe in treating the symptom and the cause, so that patients may achieve long-term gains in their health. I encourage a multidisciplinary and integrative approach. Treatments may include myofascial release (John F. Barnes' approach), Arvigo techniques of Maya abdominal therapy, connective tissue manipulation, craniosacral therapy, trigger point release, soft tissue mobilizations, nerve mobilizations, joint mobilizations, sacroiliac dysfunction correction, lymphatic drainage, visceral manipulation, yoga, Pilates, and reiki. I believe a manual approach to therapy provides patients with more personalized care. My motto is "healing through awareness".
