For Clinicians
For every provider with a client who has progressed past treatment but not into living.
We all have clients who, despite our best efforts and theirs, still aren't getting better. They appreciate the treatment, and they've healed considerably. Deep down they still feel out of sorts, and you as the clinician know that something is missing.
I help clients discover that missing piece, between healing and living again. I help clients look at all aspects of their life, their history, diet, lifestyle, and routine to get them living an empowered, purpose driven life again.
If you're a therapist or psychiatrist, this is the client who has the skills and takes the meds but struggles to maintain a routine that holds them. If you're a chiropractor, physical therapist, or surgeon, this is the patient whose pain persists past the point where the imaging explains it, because the problem isn't in the tissue you treated, it's in how they built a life around it.
The people who do best in this work have a stable baseline. The basics of daily care are intact, or close to it. They're eating, bathing, brushing their teeth, drinking water. For the movement side of the work, they can walk, and they can get up and down from the floor and have been cleared for PT.
They're often stepping down from a higher level of care, or they've plateaued somewhere in outpatient work, and they're willing to look at the daily habits they have maintained over time, good or bad.
I don't work with people in active crisis. If the baseline isn't there yet, this isn't the right time, and I'll say so rather than take someone on who isn't ready. There's no benefit to them in that, and no benefit to the work you've already done together.
I work at the intersection of clinical practice and classical systems of medicine. My training spans functional movement, myofascial release, diet and tissue health through an Ayurvedic lens, crisis intervention, and motivational interviewing, and I have worked alongside chiropractors, surgeons, and physical therapists and currently work inside intensive outpatient programming alongside psychiatrists, therapists, social workers, and chaplains. I am a Certified Yoga Therapist through the International Association of Yoga Therapists (C-IAYT) and an Ayurvedic Health Counselor.
I am not a physical therapist. I am not a mental health therapist. My scope of practice is broader than those but not as specialized. That broad view allows me to see patterns that, by necessity, the specialists can't see. Your patient stays your patient. I handle the part that lives outside your office.
Your client reaches out to me, or you point them my way and they take the first step when they're ready. With their written permission, I contact you. I share what I'm seeing, what I'm recommending, and my notes. I'll sign whatever releases you need, and I follow your lead. I'm not here to second-guess your treatment plan, and I'm not going to relitigate it with your client either.
What tends to happen is that the routine and lifestyle work makes the work in your office land better, because your client is arriving with a more comprehensive view of themself.
Sessions are virtual or in person in Watertown, New York. This is private-pay work. It begins with a comprehensive two-hour Ayurvedic health intake, and most clients continue in a three-month therapeutic package where I meet with them weekly checking in on progress. They will also have access to my weekly movement, yoga nidra, and dharma talk courses, all rooted in the ancient idea that good company is good medicine.
