Join me at Global Yoga Therapy Day 2021 -Bridging Yoga and Healthcare

Dharma traditions from around the world teach us that suffering is both inevitable and solvable. Yoga Sutra 2:16 states, “Heyam dukham anagatam: The suffering which is yet to come is to be avoided.” This Sutra begs the question: In what ways can a person educate themselves, and is it the sole responsibility of each individual (as opposed to society?), to not only prevent their future suffering (such as preventable lifestyle diseases), but also thrive in wellness and achieve optimum health? What is the definition of optimum health? Is thriving in wellness measurable? Why has it become the sole responsibility of the typical modern adult to manage and maintain their own health? What is the responsibility, if any, of one’s society to support the health of its individuals? How can a person, within the context of modern culture and lifestyle, responsibly and reasonably make a shift from merely surviving to a state of optimum health?

Financing Options

My sessions are 60 minutes versus 5-15 minutes with other healthcare professionals.

Preventive care is actually pretty inexpensive compared to the costs of a hospital visit or traditional emergency care medicine.

You get to see me directly for the entire session as opposed to an aide or assistant.

Healthy habits like exercising regularly, eating well, and managing stress SAVE you money on healthcare costs in the long run.

I get to know you better and offer personalized sessions that large companies or group fitness facilities cannot provide.
