Amplify your care with yoga therapy.

Yes, along with functional and integrative medicine practices. These are where the work fits most naturally, because your model already gives patients the time and continuity yoga therapy depends on. In longevity and healthspan settings especially, how the nervous system holds up under chronic stress is foundational to how well a patient ages, and that is exactly the layer I work in. I integrate through individual sessions, patient groups, workshops, and professional education, built around your existing structure rather than added onto it.

Yoga therapy is the individualized use of yoga practices to support a person's
health and wellbeing. Depending on the patient, a session may include therapeutic movement, breathing practices, guided relaxation, meditation, lifestyle awareness, or reflective inquiry. Unlike a general class, it begins with an assessment and is adapted to the individual's history, symptoms, needs,
and goals.

It supports the physical, behavioral, emotional, and lifestyle patterns that shape how a patient feels and how she participates in her care. It does not diagnose, alter treatment plans, or replace licensed medical or mental health care. When appropriate, it works in service of the goals the healthcare team has already set.

Women navigating perimenopause and menopause, persistent stress, sleep difficulty, anxiety, chronic pain, grief, life transitions, or the effects of chronic illness, especially the patient who understands her recommendations but needs help making them real in daily life. Suitability is always considered individually; some practices require clearance or modification for certain conditions.

There is a growing body of research on yoga as a complementary intervention for chronic pain, stress, sleep, anxiety, and menopausal symptoms. Quality and strength of evidence vary by condition, so I present it as a complementary option, never a guaranteed treatment or a replacement for appropriate care.

In many cases, yes. A patient does not need to be flexible, fit, or familiar with yoga. Practices can be adapted for a chair, a bed, limited range of motion, fatigue, or pain. Appropriateness and modifications are considered during the initial assessment.

Each discipline has a different scope.
Physical therapy evaluates and treats movement dysfunction and rehabilitation; psychotherapy addresses mental and emotional health through licensed treatment; yoga therapy uses yoga-based practices to support the whole person and may complement either. It does not replace services that require a licensed physical therapist, psychotherapist, or medical provider.

With the patient's written permission and within proper privacy boundaries, I welcome relevant communication with her healthcare team. The level of collaboration depends on her needs, your practice structure, and the scope of services involved.

Yes. I welcome introductions when yoga therapy fits a patient's needs and is appropriate for her condition, and I welcome broader collaborations with practices that want to build it into patient education, group programming, or whole-person care.
