Welcome to the SŌMATHECARY™

Welcome to the SŌMATHECARY™-a modern apothecary of evidence-informed ideas, practical tools, and gentle practices for reconnecting with your body.

Here, I will share pain-science insights, Yoga Nidra and mindful-movement practices, self-care techniques, therapeutic touch tips, nutrition for recovery, and simple tools you can use in everyday life. Some entries will be written reflections, while others may include short demonstrations, audio practices, or videos.

As a chronic-pain researcher, licensed massage therapist, yoga teacher, and someone who lives with persistent pain, I created this space to bring science and lived experience together.

This is not about promising a quick fix. It is about developing greater understanding, exploring what supports you, and finding meaningful ways to move toward the activities and experiences that matter to you.

Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.
