Meet Clarissa
Pain, Stress, and Corrective Exercise Specialist
When pain, stress, or physical limitations take over, they don’t just impact your body—they affect how you move, function, and show up in your daily life.
With over 20 years of experience working with injury recovery, movement dysfunction, and physical stress patterns through therapeutic exercise and hands-on bodywork, I specialize in helping active, high-achieving women over 40 who are dealing with persistent pain, postural imbalances, or nervous system overload—especially when standard solutions haven’t gone far enough.
For physical concerns, my work blends evidence-based manual therapy, therapeutic movement, and neuromuscular re-education to restore mobility, relieve pain, and improve structural function. Whether you're trying to avoid surgery, recover from an injury, or move with more confidence, I offer structured, results-driven care tailored to your goals.
For stress management and nervous system dysregulation, I use a blend of clinical and energetic techniques to regulate stress responses, stabilize mood, reduce emotional reactivity, and reconnect you to a more grounded, emotionally resilient baseline.
Whether you’re here for physical recovery, nervous system support, or both, my approach addresses the root causes—so your body isn’t just surviving, but adapting and progressing.
Let’s make a plan that works for your life.
Services
Wholistic Sessions
These massage and bodywork therapy sessions address the structural, muscular, and postural effects of stress, tension, and overuse. Whether you're seeking deep relaxation, pain relief, improved flexibility, or focused facial care, each session is individually adapted to support physical comfort, mobility, and whole-body ease, without rigid routines or one-size-fits-all protocols.
Opti-Move Method
Designed to restore movement quality and correct underlying dysfunction, this 8-week comprehensive program addresses the root causes of pain, stiffness, and biomechanical inefficiency. Using clinical Pilates, manual therapy, and neuromuscular techniques, Opti-Move targets joint dysfunction, postural breakdown, and soft tissue restrictions to improve mobility, reduce strain, and restore functional performance—while helping many clients hold off on surgical interventions or extend the benefits of prior treatment.
Harmonic Resonance
When emotional strain, fluctuating mood, overwhelm, or a sense of internal disconnection show up in the body, this therapy suite offers vibrational tools that support regulation without physical manipulation. Using sound, frequency, and subtle energetic techniques, these sessions help recalibrate the nervous system, ease emotional buildup, and restore a sense of clarity, coherence, and internal balance.
Pilates Method
This body conditioning program blends intelligent strength training with postural precision to help you move better, train smarter, and reduce strain over time. Ideal for active individuals looking to build core control, improve flexibility, and enhance both everyday movement and athletic performance—without sacrificing form or joint integrity.
