From Personal Scars to a Shared Strength
I’m Carolyn. My 30-year journey with post-surgical recovery didn’t just shape my life—it became my life’s work. Discover the story of how lived experience and dedicated study created a gentle, effective path back to your body.
From Personal Pain to Professional Purpose
My story isn’t just about credentials; it’s written in the very fabric of my body. For most of my life, I felt like a stranger in my own skin, navigating a landscape of surgical scars that left me feeling restricted, disconnected, and in persistent pain.
Conventional fitness felt aggressive, and many gentle approaches felt ineffective. I was searching for a middle path—a way to communicate with my body that was both intelligent and compassionate. This search became my life’s work.
I immersed myself in the study of anatomy, biomechanics, and somatic practices, becoming a certified Scar and Movement Specialist. But theory alone wasn’t enough. I began to experiment, using my own body as a laboratory. I learned to use gravity not as an opposing force, but as a partner. I discovered how to release deep-seated tension by listening, not forcing.
Today, my mission is to share this path with you. I combine my professional expertise with the deep empathy that only comes from lived experience. I’m here to help you decode your body’s messages and empower you with the tools to move with freedom, confidence, and joy.
