Thank you for taking a moment to read a little bit about me and this space.

*You may be seeking restoration of function from an injury or condition with physical therapy.

*You may be transitioning from traditional physical therapy and looking for further professional guidance and accountability.

*You may have landed here to discover how yoga can fit into your personal wellness plan.

I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Registered Yoga Teacher. I have dreamed of a better alignment of these two practices with the intention of showing clients how valuable they are together.

MY SKILLS & APPROACH

Working for years with individuals experiencing declines in function, participation, and mental well-being due to many complex symptoms, I have gained various ways to approach multifaceted health challenges. Though my specialized physical therapy expertise in neurological and vestibular conditions as well as philosophical yoga background, I teach about the deep connection between the brain, breath, and the body, which is often overlooked in the current healthcare climate. Understanding this connection and digging deep into the root of the issue are important for the path of healing and prevention. I prioritize individualized care, taking the time one-on-one to guide you toward greater awareness, alignment, and lasting well-being through movement & mindfulness.

PRIVATE OFFERINGS: MY CLINIC DESIGN

I utilize an intentional practice model that allows for increased regard and adaptation for your needs. I want to hear your story and assess you as a whole person to optimize your success at doing the things you love to do. Booking is done through a secure patient portal that also extends that one-on-one attention so that you have access to all of your information as well as private messaging for any questions between visits. Working with this model of specialized care, I am an out-of-network provider for all insurances. Please see my pricing and FAQs pages for details.

CLASS OFFERINGS

Small group, all-levels yoga classes are scheduled monthly, some in a themed series format. Follow the links here to book a session and view currently available classes can be viewed on the booking site. Be sure to subscribe with your email below and follow on social media for updates.

Semi-private yoga is an additional offering for a more intimate environment to experience a custom-designed class or workshop for you and a friend or family-member. These appointments can also be found on the booking site.

COMMUNITY CONNECTION

In addition to sharing yoga with this community, I am an instructor of “Tai Ji Quan: Moving for Better Balance”. This is an evidenced-based class series for improving balance & preventing falls that is rooted in traditional Tai Chi principles. It is offered through the Kearsarge Council on Aging.

Ascend LLC is a member of the Lake Sunapee Region Chamber of Commerce.

I have lived in the New London, NH area since 2013. I am also currently an outpatient and inpatient physical therapist at New London Hospital and prior to that was at Dartmouth Hitchcock, and the VNA of Vermont & New Hampshire. I initially put down my PT roots at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. I have lead yoga at Crescent Moon Wellness & Yoga in New London as well as various fitness establishments in the area. I enjoy this community and all it has to offer with my husband and my young son. I look forward to getting to know you!
