Giving up is depressing.

Recurring back pain has sidelined you for too long. The tight band across your back clutches as you get up.

It’s worse when you stand. But it’s not great when you sit either. How are you supposed to get any work done?

Watching from the couch while your friends stay active is deeply unsatisfying.

Sometimes the pain moves around. One thing stays the same, it keeps coming back.

You’ve literally tried everything.

PT, chiro, acupuncture, massage, a different PT, doctors, specialists, and a few devices. Sometimes stretching, sometimes strengthening, and even taking breaks from it all.

You think you’re getting close, and then wake up with your back like one giant block of wood. “I must be pretty skillful to hurt myself sleeping.”

So you spring for a new bed.

No luck, same thing.

Something needs to change.

You just don’t know what.

Should you exercise more? Stretch more? Or pay more attention to posture?

Trying to get it right is maddening when you keep ending up at square one.

The pain is so familiar, yet still a mystery.

There’s a fork in the road.

Do you give up now and accept decline as an inevitable part of aging?

Or keep searching and take the significant risk of hope?

These episodes used to clear up quickly, but now they’re longer and more intense.

“Will it always be this way? Does it just get worse from here?”

There is a better path.

From where you are now it seems unimaginable, but it is possible to live without this pain.

The path is bodywork from the perspective of the brain.

With a new vocabulary of movement and posture you can get the exact support you need to reorganize.

The tension in your shoulders can melt away and the tightness in your hamstrings can lengthen easily.

You can feel upright without effort. And this ease can stay with you through your day and night.

Step out of the fog of pain and into the clarity of understanding.

As a culture, we’re more familiar with effort than we are with ease.

We try more and push harder, but our efforts actually groove in our habitual patterns.

The brain works under different parameters. So we’ll slow way down in order to dial up sensitivity.

We’ll identify the habits that cause pain.

And help your brain tune-in to ease, not effort, so it can change the habits that cause pain.

You’re exactly where you need to be.

Everything that’s lead you to this point is useful.

Arriving here means you have an opportunity to feel even better than you did before.

Your goals are achievable. You can stay active. You can enjoy a great quality of life as you age.

You don’t need a two-hour routine every morning in order to feel great.

You mustn’t accept the status quo of aging.

Get off the sideline and connect with your life again. But first, I’ll help you connect more with yourself.

Now is the time.

It’s time to feel great
in your own body!

Hi, I’m Joanna!

If you’ve ever felt older and stiffer than your years, I know how you feel.

I’m familiar with the frustration of not seeing improvement even when you’ve worked so hard.

And I’ve been weighed down by the emotional toll that adds stress to the physical pain.

But you’re in the perfect place. When you’re so familiar with the limitations of pain, you’re even better positioned to notice the changes that lead to huge improvement.

Since 2008 I have specialized in overcoming the unique challenges of going against the status quo of aging, of not accepting decline as an inevitability. I’ll help you understand the mechanics, see what you’re doing that gets in the way, and connect the dots within yourself so the mechanics work.

It’s not fast-paced, and it’s not prescriptive, but it is the recipe for success. I know firsthand the limitations chronic pain puts on life. I’m here to help you lighten the burden that keeps you from having the best quality of life.
