My journey to healing and well-being started when I got diagnosed with scoliosis at the age of 12. Shortly after, I developed a hyper kyphosis (hunched upper back).
After spending many years in chronic pain, I decided to look outside western medicine for an answer.
That's when I embarked on a healing journey through movement. I stumbled onto Pilates, as a client first, and within a few months, I joined a teacher training course. Two, to be exact. In conjunction with my teacher training, I also studied the Feldenkrais Method®.
Attracted to rehabilitative work, I assisted my mentor and master trainer in teaching Pilates to the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) population. This experience directed me towards an interest in movement for trauma and neuroplasticity.
In my 22 years of clinical practice, I have worked with many conditions including:
spinal fusion
scoliosis
plantar fasciitis
bunions
chronic pain
postural and pelvic floor issues
herniated discs
hip replacement
knee reconstruction
rotator cuffs injury
frozen shoulder syndrome
carpal tunnel
Over the years, I developed my own healing method which I now teach at The Loft Academy.
Like many of my clients, I am very thankful for finding Pilates and it's help on my path to healing and recovery.
