Pivot Muscle Therapy was founded on the understanding that meaningful change—especially with persistent pain, tension, or stress—rarely comes from technique alone. It emerges through the relationship between nervous system, body, and the person experiencing both.

My work is grounded in an Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB)–informed, relational approach to manual therapy. This means your session is not just something done to your body, but a collaborative process that supports regulation, awareness, and lasting change. Research and experience consistently show that when people feel safe, understood, and actively engaged, the nervous system becomes more adaptable—and the body follows.

With over a decade of hands-on clinical experience and thousands of treatment hours, I’ve learned that the most durable outcomes occur when therapy honors both tissue and context. Pain, restriction, and dysfunction are often shaped not only by injury or overuse, but by stress patterns, protective responses, and learned habits within the nervous system. My role is to help you recognize and gently shift those patterns.

Each session is customized and paced to you, integrating skilled manual therapy with clear communication, consent, and moment-to-moment feedback. I work with individuals who are motivated to better understand their bodies and participate in their own care—whether the goal is pain reduction, improved mobility, recovery from injury, or broader mind-body resilience.

Techniques I may incorporate include:

Neuro Muscular Therapy to address connective tissue restriction and restore movement
Trigger Point and Deep Tissue work when appropriate and well-tolerated
Sound Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (SASTM) for scar tissue and chronic soft-tissue injury
CranioSacral Therapy, a gentle, nervous-system–oriented approach often helpful when traditional methods have fallen short
Kinesiotherapy and movement-based strategies to reinforce change beyond the table

Rather than chasing symptoms, Pivot Muscle Therapy focuses on creating the conditions for your system to reorganize itself—supporting regulation, adaptability, and trust in your body’s capacity to heal.

If you’re seeking care that integrates bodywork, neuroscience, and relational presence—and treats you as an active participant rather than a passive recipient—I invite you to schedule an initial consultation and begin that process.

Education

About

Your Treatment Should be as Unique as You.

Every appointment you receive at PIVOT will be specifically geared at helping you achieve your stated treatment goal. This is usually the one area of your body which is giving you distress. The way we do this is to specifically name the muscles we are treating and explain why. It is critically important to have a plan when approaching musculo-skeletal dysfunction if our goal is to provide results.

After treatment, most PIVOT clients state that the specific muscle-by-muscle unwinding approach that we took was extremely effective and unlike anything they have experienced before. Additionally, they are informed and empowered towards maintaining the balance we achieved in session.

Goal Based Therapy

When your airplane is in a nose dive, you want much more than a gradual correction to change course. Applying the right technique and modality is imperative to achieving results. Acute Pain vs Chronic pain require a vastly different therapeutic approach. It is our greatest joy to graduate clients to the health and wellness model of massage therapy. They choose to remain ni touch to keep enjoying the activities which give them life.
