"online" how to overcome chronic pain, recover quickly from injury and reduce stress and tension we feel in our muscles using safe, simple, natural tools all available online now. 

I am a trained Hanna Somatic Educator® and enjoy giving people the tools which are our birthright to live a life full of joyous expression rather than the other side of the coin.

In my journey, I traveled as a client in the worlds of acupuncture, bioenergetic synchronization technique, bonnie pruden myotherapy, brain gym, chi kung(Qigong), chiropractic, continuum, cranial sacral,  egoscue method, feldenkrais, hellerwork, homeopathy, massage, meditation, muscle activation technique, naturopathy, physical therapy, osteopathy, polarity, postural reconstruction, reiki, rolling, soma bodywork, tai chi, traditional stretching, and yoga. 

In addition, I did medications, dietary changes, and an array of supplements.

After years of living in the dark, I live in the light and I continue to be surprised at how using one's brain can offer us a path into well-being and self-improvement.

A couple of summers ago, I was even able to compete in the U.S. Amateur Soccer Assoc. Veteran's Cup where I comfortably walked away with two silver medals in the men's over 40 and over 45's.  Not bad for a former, FM'er... in 5 days I played in 9.5 games of soccer without any negative repercussions...

... and no need for a hot tub, ibuprofens, massage, and most of all it didn't take weeks to recover like it used to ... it wasn't even a concern.  However... I do have to prepare my mind and body and I use the natural process of pandiculation, aka Somatic Education®, to help me as I do every day to remain comfortable, agile, in balance, flexibile, strong, and vital.

 I wish you all the best and look forward to getting to know you.

P.S.  I just did a radio show called Winning Life Through Chronic Pain on describing my life with fm and what I did to overcome it.
