Eliminate Pain, Stress and Anxiety
Welcome, I'm Caroline.
I'm a Holistic Health and Movement Mentor with a passion for helping people minimize pain, stress, and anxiety. Whether teaching mindful movement or guiding people to make healing choices, I strive to bring compassion, understanding, and encouragement to everything I do.
My Journey
In the 90s, I suffered from anxiety/panic attacks and migraines. Holistic Wellness practices changed my life to the extent that I can't remember the last time I had a panic attack or a migraine; that's why I'm passionate about sharing this medicine. In 2000, I began my life's work, initially as a yoga teacher, fueled by a deep interest in pain and anxiety relief. Over the years, I've added to my skills, including massage therapy, Pilates, and Ayurvedic Wellness Coaching certifications. From 2004 to 05, I lived in India, where I deepened my yoga, meditation, and Ayurvedic studies. Between 2010 - 19, Physical Therapist Harvey Deutsch was my mentor in San Francisco; he referred his patients to me for massage therapy, yoga, and Pilates. My blend of studies has shaped my unique and natural approach to helping people prioritize their well-being, thrive, and overcome stress, anxiety, and pain.
Outside of Work
You can find me hiking trails in the Rocky Mountains, climbing, crocheting, making simple, nourishing meals, or planning an adventure. Life is a journey, and I'm constantly learning, growing, and seeking new personal and professional adventures.
Education
Being there for my client's challenges and triumphs reminds me that holistic wellness is a shared journey of growth, connection, and endless discovery. The certifications are my foundation, but my years in holistic wellness give me depth and breadth of knowledge.
