Healthcare Partnerships
As a specialist in integrative exercise and yoga, I’m a long-time advocate for participation in community partnerships, because they create endorsed opportunities for more people to receive education, information and care that has the potential to change lives.
How I Can Partner with Your Organization Online
✧ If you are a Physical Therapist ...
When your patient is ready for discharge and would benefit from supervised exercise with incremental progressions as they continue to heal, I will provide online (or, in the future, in-home) support in accordance with your guidelines.
I work with patients who are recovering from orthopedic surgery or surgeries related to a cancer diagnosis, as well as those who want to avoid surgical interventions or recover from non-surgical cancer treatments by gaining strength, stability and improved movement patterns.
My integrative approach will also provide your patients with body-mind practices to help them reduce stressful responses to pain and uncertainty, and help them find meaningful ways to incorporate these practices into their healing experience.
✧ If you organize Online Corporate Wellness Events ...
All of the latest studies support the message that movement is essential for our health. The promotion of healthy activity in the workplace is a topic close to my heart.
I provide both informational and enjoyable interactive sessions on a variety of topics related to the benefits of exercise, yoga, stress reduction and other aspects of optimum well-being.
I can create a customized presentation in the context of your one-day, weekend or week-long residential retreat within the Baltimore-Washington-Northern Virginia area.
✧ If you host Online Hospital-based Wellness Events ...
Movement can be powerful medicine for the mind, body and spirit. As an experienced exercise and yoga educator, I conduct enjoyable, safe and inclusive group classes.
With my background as a Medical Exercise Specialist I offer customized presentations and interactive sessions. Topics including the benefits of movement, stress reduction strategies, yoga or other body-mind practices are designed to be accessible and meaningful for your invited community members.
