An Integrative Approach That Starts Small and Finishes Big
Pain, stiffness, and limited motion or strength are rarely just local problems. As a Certified Hand Therapist and Occupational Therapist, I look at how our arms, posture, stress, and daily habits all interact --and treat them together.
What this looks like in practice:
- Skilled, one-to-one, upper extremity therapy
- Attention to posture, movement patterns, and nervous system stress
- Supportive tools and modalities, manual therapy, guided relaxation, and energy-based techniques
- Education and training for simple resets, cleanses, detox to improve nutrition, habits and routines to support healing
- Care that adapts as your body and goals change
The goal is not just symptom relief - It's helping your body work better over time
About Integrative Hand to Shoulder Therapy and Wellness
Philosophy
I believe effective healing happens when skilled hands-on care is combined with understanding how stress, habits and daily life affect the body. Pain is rarely isolated - and treatment shouldn't be either.
