RELEASE THE POWER THAT PAIN HOLDS OVER YOUR LIFE.
Yoga therapy that works when medical interventions don’t.
My name is Beth.
I believe you can feel better in your body, no matter your age, diagnosis, or physical limitations - if you know what do and how to do it.
As a Certified Yoga Therapist, I’m passionate about helping people break the pain cycle and reconnect with their bodies so they can get back to living their lives.

WHEN YOU’RE LIVING WITH PAIN…
You stop doing what you love. You stop feeling like yourself. You lose confidence in your ability to accurately perceive sensations in your own body.
And when you don’t know how you feel, you don’t know who you are.
Your work suffers. Your relationships suffer.
Your life gets smaller in a million different ways.
And after seeing all the specialists and trying all the treatments and still not experiencing relief, or not enough relief, you may be feeling a little hopeless.
I GET IT. I’VE BEEN THERE.
And here’s what I’ve learned, from my own pain journey, from my trainings, and from so many of my clients.
Pain begets pain. The longer you live with pain, the longer you will live with pain.
To reduce or eradicate pain, you need to break the pain cycle and flood the brain with experiences of pain-free movement. And do that on repeat until your brain has worn a new groove. It is possible to change your experience of pain even if your scans still show tissue damage.
Imagine, moving without pain! It’s a powerful blend of expert principles of movement and time-tested yoga philosophy, supported by modern pain science … and it works.

I’m gathering all these little tools and techniques that make [living w chronic pain] feel more navigable.
