I’ve spent much of my professional life studying bodies-how they move, where they get stuck, how they compensate, and what helps them feel strong and capable again. But some of my most important education came from living in my own body. For four years, I lived with what I thought was sciatica. Eventually, I learned that the pain was being caused by a sacral nerve sheath tumor. Removing it meant a six hour surgery, a week in the hospital lying completely flat, a long recovery, and learning how to live in a body that was-and still is- different than it was before. That experience changed the way I work. I know what it’s like when pain starts dictating your choices. I know the frustration of wanting your body to do something it simply isn’t ready to do. And I know that recovery isn’t always a straight line or a triumphant “back to normal.” Sometimes it’s learning, adapting, getting stronger, and creating a new relationship with the body you have now. These days, I’m also a working mother to a beautiful teenager and a woman in my 50s navigating menopause. I work hard to stay strong=and I can assure you, the rules have changed a little since my 30s. I get it. It’s a big part of why I’m so passionate about helping women build strength, mobility, confidence, and trust in their bodies as they move through midlife and beyond. I’m not interested in punishing bodies into submission or chasing some impossible version of youth. I want us to be strong enough to keep doing the things we love, and resilient enough to adapt when life changes the plan.

My work brings together years of experience in massage therapy, myofascial work, lymphatic therapy, Pilates, functional mobility, mindful movement and strength. I look at the whole person in front of me rather than simply treating a tight muscle or prescribing an exercise. Because bodies are complicated. Life is complicated. And sometimes the answer is mobility work, sometimes it’s strength, sometimes it’s hands-on bodywork-and sometimes you just need someone who understands what it feels like when your body throws you a curveball.

Outside of work, I’m still a New Yorker at heart. I believe there are few problems that can’t be be made at least slightly better by a good NY slice-and I’ll happily take my whiskey neat.

My experience is my calling card. I don’t work with women from a place of perfection. I work with them from experience, curiosity, compassion, and a deep belief that our bodies are capable of far more than we sometimes give them credit for.
