One-on-One
Yoga Therapy

 
 

I help individuals find freedom from physical pain and overcome mental health conditions through the practice of yoga and mindfulness within a therapeutic setting. As a former collegiate athlete, I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing chronic pain, recovering from injury, struggling with anxiety or depression and looking to build physical strength and mental fortitude. I also help high performers improve their ability to self-regulate, find mental-emotional balance and live more meaningful lives.


“Yoga is a technology to engineer your inner world, to change your relationship to pain and hardship, and more easily embrace the opportunity for growth and enhanced well-being in body, feelings, thought and spirit.”

What is Yoga Therapy?

Yoga therapy is a holistic healing art that applies the age-old teachings and wisdom of yoga - meditation, physical postures, breath work, spiritual insights - to promote wellness, mental clarity and better physical health. Benefits include increase in self-regulation and mood control, reduced anxiety and depression, and improved quality of life with stronger relationships and a greater sense of purpose.

It’s a dynamic approach to healing that views the human body as a multi-dimensional system. Like physical therapy addresses the physical body and psychotherapists address the mind, yoga therapy interweaves the two together. Yoga therapy can connect us to our higher power and purpose, while bringing more joy, less pain and a greater capacity to handle life’s stressors with ease.

Who is it for?

Yoga therapy is for any individual facing a health challenge at any level to manage their condition, reduce symptoms, restore balance, increase vitality, and improve attitude. This form of therapy is particularly appropriate for many chronic conditions that persist despite conventional medical treatment. As a yoga therapist, I specialize in working with individuals experiencing: 

  • Chronic physical pain or illness

  • Recovering from injury or surgery 

  • Anxiety and panic attacks

  • Depression

  • Grief and loss 

  • Burn out and stress

How it works?

Whether the issue is functional and posture-oriented, physiological or emotional, or a combination of several, together we will look at systemic imbalances in the body and work to bring you back to a state of balance as a whole.

We will dive deep into the following and create a personalized practice plan centered around healing:

  • Posture

  • Breathing patterns

  • Areas of chronic pain

  • Lifestyle and eating habits

  • Emotion and mood regulation

You will walk away from our session with a specific take home practice; feeling inspired and energized with a renewed capacity to meet your wellness goals.

About Testimonial Scroll

To me yoga therapy is all of the above (talk therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy) wrapped up in one. I have done all three of the above and I can tell you that yoga therapy is the best for me. After working with Aimee, I now have the tools to assist me in dealing with chronic pain and anxiety related to the illness as well as just the daily grind of life as we know it. I also am able to keep flexible with the yoga practices that are tailored to my needs. I am able to use breathing and mental exercises to help me through procedures and bouts of the illness. It has been a most helpful journey that still continues.

— Sara S.

I was recovering from physical and emotional trauma. I felt deep sadness and a complete sense of loss. Aimee's personalized practices not only helped my body physically recover and strengthen but helped me to find a healthier emotional and mental state of being. If you're on the fence... Do it! Find the time. Make the time. You matter and Aimee will ensure that the investment you make in yourself will yield high rewards. Commitment to change, and openness to support can only come from you, but Aimee will be there waiting with open arms.

— Catherine D.

I really wanted to find myself again and believe that (yoga therapy) was something I was always missing. I’m a sales entrepreneur, this means I talk A LOT and always move at 1,000 mph, but that wasn’t how I approached these sessions. We were just in the practice of being. I will be forever thankful for learning that.

— Brett L.

 

“It’s like physical therapy, psychotherapy and mindfulness rolled into one.”

MORE ON A
PERSONAL NOTE...

I have been practicing and teaching yoga for over a decade. I am registered at the highest level as certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT), an experienced registered yoga teacher (E-RYT® 500) and as a Yoga Alliance Certified Education Provider (YACEP®). I am also a nationally certified Health Coach.

I am a lover of movement and the outdoors; happiest when I’m hiking or lounging in a hammock under the trees. When I’m not teaching, coaching or practicing yoga, you can find me playing with my Bernedoodle pup, ‘Cuisy, or reading a good fantasy book.
