Hi! I'm Dr. Stephanie and I've been where you are, frustrated and tired of being in pain. Despite my extensive background as a Physical Therapist, College Professor, and Yoga Teacher, what truly matters in helping you is my personal pain journey.
PEACE out of Low Back Pain is a Coaching Program for…
Women in midlife and beyond who feel held back by persistent low back pain and deeply desire more out of life!
This program is for you if:
1. You don’t want low back pain to slow you down.
2. You're scared that your back pain is going to get worse with age.
3. You're frustrated by being told that: “you are just getting older” or “you will just have to live with it”.
4. You know deep down that there must be a way to experience Less Pain to do More of What you Love!
5. Your physician or surgeon says that there is nothing they can do except medication or "wait until" your condition is bad enough for surgery and you think…
I don’t want to take medication.
I don’t want to sit around and wait. I want to feel better now.
AND I don’t ever want surgery!”
If any of the above resonates...
Then the PEACE out of Low Back Pain Coaching Program is for YOU!

Retired Social worker and Student
"Since taking Dr. Stephanie's Yoga classes that concentrate on Spine and Back Health, I have made great improvements over time and I am asymptomatic for the most part. I do not experience the pain, stiffness, and lack of mobility that had bothered me previously. I have referred friends to her and they were impressed with her style of teaching yoga and her very approachable personality."

But now it’s time to take your power back!
It is time for an approach that will EMPOWER you to Care for YOU!

Dream a little with me...
What would life be like without planning around or anticipating low back pain?
What would do you today if you could confidently move more?
What plans would you make for the future if you did NOT need to worry about your pain?
PEACE out of Low Back Pain is process...
P = Practice. Consistently practice feeling good. I offer you many ways to develop a practice of awareness that is right for you.
E = Educate. Understand how your body works. Understand pain science and the effect of stress on pain.
A = Assess and Align. Guided self-assessment based in Physical Therapy examination to find the true source(s) of your pain so that you can take action aligned with your values.
C = Create with Compassion. Safely try activities and create new habits that lead to much less pain.
E = Empower. Take back the power to take care of you! Do what is right for you at the right time, with the right effort. This includes knowing when to ask for help.
This system, while simple, is the reason that I and so many clients have been able to find their way OUT of pain, and finally feel the relief they have been dreaming of.
My clients tell me that the benefits go beyond relief of low back pain:
"I now have confidence & self-worth...I see myself as a person who is kind, honest, and not afraid to be herself. I cry, laugh, empathize, and care. I can forgive myself & others."
“Putting the time and money into your online program has helped me so much. I take the time each day to do some form of a yoga stretch or build muscle doing one of your exercises (wall sit, calf lift, toe curl/arch lift.....)”
“I read, visit with family and friends, take time to exercise, sleep and eat well too (most of the time)”
“My stress reliever is scrapbooking. After taking your classes, now I sit in my desk chair with a posture that you taught me to help relieve pain and increase my body and core strength.”
"Dr. Stephanie's guidance has...
…helped me manage (my pain) or tell myself it is okay, that it’s a pain but not enough that I need to take pills or go to the doctor.”
…helped me to relax my muscles and focus on me”
…helped me to manage and deal with (pain) better, to feel more in control.”
... affected me positively by allowing me to not focus on problems which usually trigger or exacerbate pain.”
“Suddenly I realized myself free from pain.”
“Practicing the idea of balance between ease and effort has helped me the most. Also, accepting that whatever I can do is better than nothing. Example: a puppy pose is better on my shoulder than a down dog. Just hard on my ego to back off.”
“Slowly, I have had to say “I think I can do this movement”, try it a little then keep trying to see if I can do it more.”
"Forgiving myself and letting go of all the shoulds. Some days are better than others!"
