with Somatic Yoga Therapy
✓ Non-Invasive Pain Management
Avoid surgery, injections, and medications. We use a menopause-informed, science-based holistic approach to alleviate joint stiffness and chronic aches.

Your Questions About Somatic Healing
-
While a studio class is general, Somatic Yoga Therapy is a one-on-one clinical approach specifically tailored for women over 40. At my private San Marcos studio, I integrate 20 years of experience as a Personal Trainer with my advanced 6-year practice as a C-IAYT Yoga Therapist.
This unique background allows me to combine my knowledge of the working of the body’s systems with somatic mobilization and nervous system integration to target your specific pain points. My work is backed by over 1,000 hours of clinical study in anatomy, physiology, and vagus nerve health. Unlike a typical 200-hour yoga teacher, I offer a comprehensive intake and assessment to create a highly personalized plan for chronic pain relief and ease of movement.

Yes, it is. In fact, most of my clients come to me specifically because they are trapped in a chronic pain cycle. Safety is the absolute foundation of my work. Because I am a C-IAYT Yoga Therapist with over 1000 hours of clinical training, we never “push through” pain.
Drawing on two decades of experience in corrective exercise, we start with a comprehensive assessment to understand your body’s current limits. We use somatic mobilization to gently re-educate your nervous system, moving you out of “protection mode” so your body can finally release. Our goal is to build a resilient foundation where you can move with confidence again, safely and without fear of pain or injury.

You don’t need hours of free time to see a transformation. Most clients who commit to just 5–10 minutes of practice per day begin to feel a noticeable shift in their ease of movement and a reduction in pain within the first 3 to 5 sessions. My goal is to make movement a sustainable part of your life, not an added stressor. While my one-on-one sessions provide the foundational deep work, my personalized home practices ensure you continue making progress every day. By focusing on efficiency and the root causes of your tension, I help you achieve a pain-free life on a timeline that respects your busy schedule.

Yoga Therapy is excellent for down-regulating the nervous system and providing immediate relief. However, for that relief to stay, the body needs functional strength to support the joints and maintain proper alignment. By transitioning into Functional Strength Training, we 'lock in' the mobility you’ve gained, ensuring your body is resilient enough to handle daily life, prevent future injury, and improve long term bone density which is vital for women 40+.
