Despite honest efforts to create time for your recovery program, sometimes life just get in the way - the kids schedules, work deadlines, household chores, etc. Intensive Coaching programs are designed to remove you from these everyday stressors to create the time and headspace for you to focus on YOU.
If you're looking for a kickstart, or revitalization, of your recovery program:
Training Intensives are a great way to immerse yourself in the work.
What is Integrative movement coaching for spinal cord injury recovery?
The key to increasing body connection and movement after paralyzing injury is leveraging areas of voluntary control to access areas of less (or no) voluntary control. Through a basic understanding of how the body works, fascial connectivity, core stabilization, and full-body participation, you can access your movement potential to help you work towards whatever your goal may be.
Integrative movement coaching sessions teach you about these concepts, both intellectually and experientially:
Discussion of relevant anatomy, biomechanics & movement concepts
Use of sensory tools (vibration, cupping, texture) to help you better feel and sense your body
Dynamically supportive exercise set-ups which allow for safe movement exploration in ranges previously unavailable, without over-restricting movement
Implementation of dynamic resistance for reactive stabilization
Hands-on coaching to direct new movement patterns
Hands-off coaching to increase movement confidence
6-day Programs include:
Session notes & video recordings of every session
Unlimited access to the studio for solo practice
Comprehensive home program to implement afterwards
Train-your-trainer option
Remotely or in-person
Follow-up remote coaching
One session included in the base program, may continue with remote coaching
2+ hours of in-person training/ day, for 6 days
Periodic updates* to your home program
One round of updates included in the base program
We create an environment to optimize neuroplasticity and motor learning, so changes come quick and the connection stays with you, long after the program.

Frequently Asked Questions
that you may have, too.
-
Absolutely. We’re building a program that I expect you to execute when you go home. The more your local team is on board, the better.
-
You will experience pilates equipment when we work together because it provides great feedback for learning, but once you have that “feeling” in your body, we can replicate the exercises using simple exercise props like balls and sliders.
-
They will be uploaded to YouTube shortly after your sessions and only accessible through your email. If you wish to share them with anyone else on your team, just let me know and I will add them for viewing permissions.
-
We can book in monthly check-ins (in addition to the one included in the program) or go for weekly appointments.
-
I have compiled a page to help you book your travel, including accessible accommodations, on this page.
-
I do have a shower/toilet chair and small ramps you can borrow for the week if you need.
-
I’ll give you a list of referred massage therapists who I have scouted for quality and building accessibility. You can inquire directly - I recommend booking as soon as possible.
-
I know things can come up, but I’ve worked very hard to create a space for you this summer. Your deposit is non-refundable, but you can transfer your booking to another week during the same summer (pending availability) or to a friend to take your place.
