Between physical therapy and psychotherapy, there is a gap. In that gap, there is an opportunity to bridge the space between: the mind-body connection. This bridge is Yoga Therapy – where we cultivate practices that can access that mind-body connection and reduce suffering.

Yoga Therapy is not meant to take the place of allopathic medicine. Instead, it is a complementary practice that can help clients holistically navigate both the physical and emotional events of chronic illness and daily life.

“Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional.”
~ attributed to Haruki Murakami (among others)

Yoga Therapy is completely and uniquely CUSTOMIZED to meet you where you are at – right now. It’s the opposite of a one-size-fits-all concept.

Yoga Therapy is COLLABORATIVE! You are an active, centered co-creator of the practice. Together, we focus in on the combination of tools that give you access to more ease, balance, and peace in your life.

We commonly think of yoga solely from a fitness perspective – postures and active movement; however, in Yoga Therapy we have access to the COLLECTIVE Yoga toolbox! This “toolbox” does include postures and movement, but also could include breathing practices, meditation, self awareness/mindfulness techniques, intention/goal setting, relaxation strategies, lifestyle habits/schedules, affirmations, and more.

Yoga Therapy practices rarely look like the “typical” yoga class you might have in mind. Yoga Therapy:
• focuses in on a specific issue or consideration
• can be quite short (5-15 minutes) so it can fit into your day – I like to call it “yoga snacks”!
• integrates more than one tool from the “toolbox”
• incorporates simple, specific movements
• includes education, exploration, and discovery

Yoga Therapy is frequently offered privately, one-on-one. However, it can also be offered in a small group setting focused on addressing a specific issue / condition.

Yoga Therapists do not diagnose or treat from the Western/allopathic medicine perspective. Many clients come to Yoga Therapy looking to augment their on-going/existing treatment for a long-term health condition.

Yoga Therapy is not me (the yoga therapist) telling you what to do. I am not an authority on your body. I am a guide with specific education and tools to share from the yogic lens. This work is invitational and explorational. You have 100% agency and we create the work together!

Yoga Therapy is not a magic wand or pill. It is just one set of tools for self-empowerment, healing, and transformation. It takes your curiosity, compassion, and dedication to consistent practice.

Anyone can be a good candidate for Yoga Therapy, even if they’re not currently challenged with a health condition. Yoga can help reduce stress, increase energy, and improve sleep. It’s a holistic, whole-person approach to health, balance, and overall well-being.

That said, those with a specific health focus (such as arthritis, cancer, anxiety, or menopause – to name a few) who are keen to acquire tools specific to their condition may find Yoga Therapy a particularly powerful addition to their wellness program.

Clinical teaching practicum has ended. I am now offering Yoga Therapy as a part of my regular offerings.

Your minimum commitment is four (4) sessions with me.
• One session per week or every other week – either in-person or online.
• There is no obligation or commitment beyond these initial four sessions, but you are welcome to continue with me for as many follow-up sessions as you wish!

1. Prior to our first session: Complete intake form online

2. Initial intake session (~2 hours): Discuss intake form and specific health concern(s), postural & breath assessments, therapeutic yoga practice

3. Three subsequent sessions (1 hour): Check-in, time for questions/clarifications, practice

4. Actionable Items, aka Home Practice: Based on each session, we agree on the coming week’s home practice(s). These are commitments to yourself to take steps to meet your goals.

Sessions are available in-person or online.

In-person sessions are limited to Seattle only.

I do not have dedicated office/studio space at this time, but I have several studio rental options available to me in Eastlake, Montlake, and Columbia City.

If you have a suitable space in your home (where we can meet uninterrupted), we can discuss possibly holding our sessions there.
