My scope of practice

I offer therapeutic yoga as an adjunct service intended to support, not replace, medical evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment provided by licensed healthcare professionals.

I collaborate with healthcare providers to support patient-centered outcomes, improve treatment engagement, and enhance overall well-being.

I do not diagnose medical conditions, prescribe treatment, or replace medical or rehabilitative care. Clients are encouraged to maintain ongoing care with their healthcare providers and follow all medical recommendations.

My services may be integrated into clinical settings or provided through referral.

Why Providers Refer Patients for Therapeutic Yoga

  • Nervous system regulation.

    My work supports regulation of the autonomic nervous system through breathwork, movement, and mind–body awareness practices. These approaches can help reduce the physiological stress response, improve self-regulation, and support emotional and physical well-being.

  • Proprioception and body awareness.

    Therapeutic yoga encourages safe engagement with movement during recovery or rehabilitation. My work helps to improve the patient’s proprioception, thereby enhancing neuromuscular coordination and joint stabilization. This increases patient confidence, reduces fall risk, and accelerates recovery.

  • Pain management support

    A broader approach to pain care that includes nervous system regulation, compassion, and mindfulness can help patients to move beyond pain back to a meaningful life. My work empowers patients to leverage their mood, mind, and body to impact their experience of pain.

  • Stress and emotional well-being

    In order to regulate stress and emotions, my key objective is to teach patients how to first support their nervous system—through breath, relaxation, visualization, meditation, yoga postures, and myofascial release. These practices relieve stress, balance emotions, reduce pain, ease symptoms, and enhance strength and confidence.

  • Patient engagement in recovery.

    By reconnecting with their bodies, patients build self-efficacy and develop an internal locus of control, both of which empower them to confidently participate in their recovery and rehabilitation plans and engage in health-promoting behaviors moving forward post-recovery.

  • Accessible movement options.

    It’s imperative that patients feel empowered. I am specially trained to adapt services to individuals with injuries, chronic conditions, mobility limitations, or neurological conditions. I teach patients how to make yoga serve them exactly where they are, regardless of needs or ability.

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

My Approach

After consulting with the healthcare provider, I conduct a detailed client intake based on key therapeutic yoga concepts. I then adapt my services to the patient's unique abilities and limitations and the clinical considerations of the healthcare team.

My work within clinical and integrative healthcare settings is guided by the following principles:

  • All practices are adapted to each individual’s abilities, health conditions, and clinical considerations. Safety, accessibility, and respect for physical limitations guide every session.

  • Therapeutic yoga is offered as an adjunct to clinical care. I value collaboration with healthcare providers and aim to support treatment goals established by the care team.

  • I work within a clearly defined scope or practice focused on therapeutic movement, breathwork, and mind–body awareness. Services do not replace medical evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment.

  • My approach integrates current understanding from movement science, mind–body research, and trauma-informed care to support patient well-being.

  • Practices are individualized and adaptable, allowing people with injuries, disabilities, chronic conditions, or limited mobility to participate safely.

  • Therapeutic yoga supports the connection between physical health, emotional well-being, and nervous system regulation within the context of overall healthcare.
