Chronic Conditions
I imagine that you may have already tried everything. It can be frustrating and sometimes feel like a lost battle. However, something inside of you keeps telling you there has got to be a way. Perhaps along the way you have found wonderful practitioners who were able to help you for a time; but you aren’t well yet. You have hope in you, but naturally, there are also doubts.
If you feel that there’s a link connecting many of your symptoms, you’re probably right. Even if your doctors told you one thing isn’t related to the other, and even if the only options you were given were surgery or drugs, I suggest that you trust your gut feeling and not give up. There are always other options, and yes, the journey can be long and confusing at times. However, every experience brings you closer to your goals.
I have had the privilege of joining some amazing journeys by people with chronic diseases who have trusted me to help them feel better. What I enjoy witnessing are those moments when my clients understand their bodies and are able to help themselves feel better on their own. We all have this innate ability in us, and I’d love to help you form such a connection with your body.
Should we decide to work together, we will investigate what caused your condition in order to understand how to best assist you. You will deeply connect with your body and learn to relieve your symptoms on your own. We both want you to feel better and live better as soon as you possibly can.
I will teach you exercises that will trigger spontaneous reactions in your body that begin a process of self-healing. I will also teach you how to move your body more efficiently and with better understanding of how to make it easier on yourself. Your will reevaluate your daily habits to make room for better habits and a more compassionate approach towards your body.

How I work and what to expect
THE FIRST SESSION
We’ll begin by going over your health questionnaire and you’ll have the opportunity to explain your situation to me in more detail. Then, we will begin to work. We’ll focus on basic exercises that you can begin using on your own. The first session, is 90 minutes.
WHAT WE WILL DO IN THE SESSIONS
The work I do is non-invasive and usually done without physical contact, which makes it possible for us to meet online.
During the sessions you will usually be lying down on your back, if that’s a comfortable position for you. If not, you may do the exercises sitting in a chair. You will also move around, stand and walk during our sessions.
If we meet online, you’ll need a soft exercise mat or a firm mattress to lie on.
We don’t usually use props, but a yoga strap, an exercise ball and a pillow can be useful sometimes if you happen to have them (don’t purchase them if you don’t).
I’ll explain the exercises and you’ll perform them. Each exercise is very gentle and pleasant to do. Our work will always be within your comfort zone. No sweat or strain is involved. You’ll frequently be asked to describe what you’re feeling. At the end of each session you’ll have a list of a few simple exercises you can practice on your own.
WHAT TO WEAR
Your clothes should be comfortable, so that they do not restrict either your breathing or your movement. Try to avoid denim and belts. You may also want to remove glasses and jewelry during the session. You can be bare foot or wear socks.
PRACTICING AT HOME
In addition to our one-on-one sessions, I encourage you to practice what you have learned at home. The more you practice, the more progress you’ll see. If you agree to replace old habits with new habits and accept what your body needs to heal, you’ll see results and enjoy positive change. At the end of the day it really depends on your dedication.
HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE
This depends on several variables.
· The length of time you have had your health issue
· How serious it is
· The underlying cause
· If you have more than one health issue
· The amount of time you commit to the process
Some cases are straightforward and easier to treat. Others may take longer. Although at times I can predict the duration of the treatment in advance, I find it’s best to let the body show us what it needs. It might take time, so please have patience. In any case, please know that I will not ask you to continue having sessions if you no longer need them.

Schedule a free Zoom consultation
The first step is to fill out this contact form to schedule a free 15-minutes Zoom consultation. I highly value your time, so I’ll tell you right away if I think we would be a good fit to work together.
I prefer that we meet for an initial consultation only if I truly believe I can help you better than anyone else. Should that not be the case, I’ll do my best to recommend a more suitable person to help you.
If we decide to meet, I’ll email you in advance a health questionnaire to fill out online.
