Let's get you some relief from your chronic pain.
My name is Kristin, and I offer 5-week group classes and private one-on-one support to help you reduce your chronic pain.
Let's empower you to make the changes that you want in order to:
- feel better in your body
- get back to your activities
- sleep longer at night
- think more positively
Let's explore the causes of your symptoms - some you already know, and a few that you may not have realized were affecting you.
Then, let's set your big goal and break it down into manageable steps to create the results you want in your life.
We will:
- develop your mind-body connection
- calm your nervous system
- get your thoughts and emotions under control
- take helpful action toward your goal
- learn easy-to-implement strategies to reduce your pain without meds, surgeries, PT or doctors
Our 5-week group classes are filled with welcoming and supportive individuals all struggling with chronic pain, but also very motivated to do something about it.
We don't sit around and complain - we learn new ideas and make meaningful change in our lives. We are open-minded and willing to grow. In addition to the class lessons, you'll receive optional worksheets and daily activities so that you can get the most results in between classes. If you miss a class, that's ok - each class is recorded and you can watch it later to catch up.
Private one-on-one support is offered in a genuine and non-judgmental environment. You can bring any topic you need help with regarding your chronic pain, and we'll dig in on it together. I'm not going to tell you what to do or what's best for your situation. My goal is to help YOU figure out what's best for your situation, and offer tools and strategies for you to be successful.
My clients regularly say that I'm an excellent listener, I'm kind, and that I can be direct but in a supportive way. I'm trained in both "causal coaching" (looks for the cause of your problem) and "JFB Myofascial Release Therapy" (looks for the cause of your pain). I've been teaching for over 25 years and have a holistic approach to pain and health.
I hope you sign up!

“Being in chronic pain can be exhausting and scary. Knowing that Kristin understood what needed to happen and that we were gently working toward addressing the causes of the pain helped me to stay patient."
Margaret, age 71
“Kristin has enabled me to see the connection between thoughts and the perception of pain and discomfort. Early on, I was distressed with fear of falling when walking. Kristin's acceptance of my perceptions and concerns has enabled me to see them more clearly and deal with them more effectively."
Monica, age 87
"Kristin has given me hope that the pain I experienced before would remain under control."
Vicky, age 75
"Kristin has helped me consider what events cause me to brace my body, which can lead to stiffness and pain. She has given me steps and exercises to help identify and release."
Nancy, age 65
"Kristin taught me to face the pain and acknowledge it, rather than trying to ignore it."
Anne, age 68
"Kristin helped me to identify and release the sadness and frustration that I have about pain, by active listening and creating a safe space to express these feelings. She helped me set realistic goals, taught me that full benefit takes time, and that it is possible to keep motivated through the incremental changes that take place throughout the healing process."
Shoshana, age 66

Hi, I’m Kristin. It's nice to meet you!
I had three neck injuries in five years.
First, I was hit by a car as a pedestrian after having lunch with a friend. I'm a musician and suddenly couldn't play flute, couldn't conduct my students, and couldn't even carry the groceries or laundry. It took me months to get (mostly) back on track, but I continued to struggle with chronic pain and not sleeping well.
A few years later, I was hit on the head with a basketball from across a gym, which re-injured my neck... the pain and frustration returned and everything felt difficult.
Last, I was the front car of a three car accident and again had whiplash and chronic pain for months. I couldn't take an audition which I'd been preparing for, and it negatively impacted both my work and home life.
However, as frustrating as these accidents were, they set me on my new journey.
I learned how to get myself out of chronic pain and am now back to doing all of my activities.
What I learned on my journey helped every area of my life - not just my physical health, but also my mental health, my stress levels, my relationships, and my life choices. What I learned put me back in the driver's seat of my life.
I'm happier and enjoying my life at a higher level!
I went back to school to switch careers, opened my own business, and now help others get out of chronic pain.
I love working with my clients! I hold the vision for them when they are frustrated and down, and celebrate their successes with them along the way.
I am an expert-level myofascial release therapist, a certified life coach, and an educator with a masters degree and over 25 years of experience.
Whether you join my classes or work with me one-on-one, I want to help YOU to feel better in your life!
