Our Approach - The 6 Ps

No two bodies are the same, and neither are their needs. That’s why I craft every treatment plan to fit you—your specific injuries, goals, and lifestyle. Drawing from my experience with everyone from Olympic medalists to everyday folks, I use a mix of manual techniques like Canadian and Australian Manual Therapy, MacKenzie Method, and Osteopathic approaches, tailored to your unique situation. It’s about meeting you where you are, whether you’re healing from knee surgery or aiming to get back to hiking those San Anselmo trails.

I’ve had the privilege of working with elite athletes at top sports medicine centers and with dancers from the New York City Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, and Oakland Ballet. That experience fuels my passion for helping you reach your peak athletic performance, whether you’re a weekend warrior or a competitive athlete. My goal is to get you back to your sport stronger, faster, and with less risk of re-injury, using targeted techniques that I’ve honed over decades to maximize your potential and keep you moving at your best.

With 36 years as a licensed orthopedic physical therapist and a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher (NCPT), I bring a wealth of expertise to every session. My time teaching and working alongside some of the best in sports medicine and dance has shaped my commitment to professional excellence. You can trust that I’ll bring the same rigor and care to your recovery or training as I did for Olympic medalists, ensuring you receive top-tier guidance grounded in evidence-based practice.

I know that some injuries or health conditions call for a more personal touch, which is why I offer private Pilates lessons tailored to your needs. Unlike a typical Pilates instructor, my background as a physical therapist means I understand the complexities of your body’s history—whether it’s a past injury or a chronic condition. In our one-on-one sessions, you’ll get my full attention in a safe, supportive space, designed to help you move confidently and comfortably.

My approach is all about real-world results that fit into your life. Whether you’re recovering from knee surgery or aiming to age stronger, I focus on practical strategies that work for you long-term. By blending Pilates-based exercises with manual therapy techniques, I help you build strength and mobility that translates to everyday activities—like walking, gardening, or playing with your kids. It’s about giving you tools to stay active and pain-free, no matter where life takes you.
