GET YOUR BODY WORKING THE WAY IT SHOULD
Integrated care for active women over 40 ready to address the root cause of their pain, instability, or physical limitations.
25+ Years of Clinical Experience
Evidence-Informed Methods
Proven Results
Personalized for You
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS
01
Initial Assessment
I learn where you are, what you need, and match you to the right starting point.
02
Receive Your Plan
Your plan is progressive, precision-built, and adjusted as your body responds — not a preset protocol.
03
Move, Feel and Function Better
Regain the strength, mobility, and physical function you came here to restore.
When Support Is Missing
Left unaddressed, pain patterns worsen, movement compensations compound, things you used to do easily start to feel hard, and you find yourself doing less without really noticing why.
What feels manageable today can quietly become limiting tomorrow. And the earlier we work with it, the more we can do about it.
When You Have It
That shoulder, neck, hip, that spot in your back stops being the first thing you notice when you wake up, get up, or move. You work out, sit at your desk, drive, reach, squat without waiting for something to flare up.
You sleep through the night. You move freely and reliably through everything your day asks of you without pain or discomfort, the way your body is meant to.
That is what becomes possible with the right clinical support.
Meet Clarissa
Pain, Stress, and Corrective Exercise Specialist
My work sits at the intersection of rehabilitative movement, therapeutic bodywork, and nervous system support. I do not follow preset protocols. I assess, I listen, and I work with the whole person in front of me.
In my years of practice I have learned that the body rarely presents one problem in isolation. Structure, movement, and nervous system function are always in conversation. Lasting results come from understanding which layer needs attention first.
Whether something physical has stopped cooperating, or you are carrying emotional tension, stress, or fatigue that has settled deeper than the muscles, my approach addresses root causes, not just symptoms.
If you are ready to understand what is actually driving it, I am ready to help you address it.
From excruciating chronic pain to a transformed quality of life
"I tried chiropractors, acupuncture, and everything else. Nothing worked. I truly credit Clarissa for changing my life - not just for taking the pain away, but by increasing the quality of my regular life by so much."
— Tom Ito
HOW I CAN HELP
The Realign Method
A clinically structured approach designed to reduce persistent pain and correct the movement dysfunction driving it. By restoring joint mechanics, neuromuscular control, and load tolerance, this method addresses the root contributors to recurring strain, compensation patterns, and progressive loss of structural control during movement. Ideal for those recovering from injury or surgery, returning to activity after physical therapy, managing chronic orthopedic conditions, or working to prevent further degeneration.
Pilates Conditioning
A precision-based conditioning method that builds strength, control, and mobility through biomechanically sound movement and intelligent progression. Blending contemporary Pilates with corrective principles, this approach enhances core integration, postural stability, and joint efficiency to support both daily function and athletic performance. Ideal for active individuals who want to train with purpose, reduce unnecessary strain, and build resilient, well-coordinated movement without compromising form or joint integrity.
Harmonic Resonance
When emotional strain, fluctuating mood, overwhelm, or nervous system fatigue begin to surface physically, this collection of vibrational therapies offers non-invasive support without physical manipulation. Using sound, frequency, and resonance-based techniques, these sessions help recalibrate the nervous system, ease emotional buildup, and restore clarity, coherence, and steadier internal regulation.
Sonic Immersion
A guided sound-based meditation experience that uses acoustic instruments, breath practice, and somatic awareness to shift the nervous system out of overdrive and into a regulated state. Through intentional use of vibration and sensory input, this session helps reduce muscular tension, quiet mental agitation, and improve stress recovery. Ideal for those navigating sensory overload, emotional fatigue, or high-demand routines, Sonic Immersion creates a structured space for internal recalibration, and nervous system resilience.
Stories That Speak for Themselves
The impact of this work—reflected in the words of those who’ve lived it.

"I recently experienced an acupressure facial and it was truly exceptional. From start to finish, the treatment was both relaxing and rejuvenating. Clarissa used precise techniques that not only alleviated tension but also left my skin glowing and refreshed. The combination of gentle pressure and strategic points worked wonders for my complexion and overall sense of well-being. I highly recommend this acupressure facial to anyone looking to enhance their skincare routine while enjoying a deeply calming experience."
-Christine Leydon
"I first started Pilates with Clarissa after my hip replacement surgery. My wife and I attended twice weekly semi private classes with her for about 3 years until her studio closed. Clarissa made rehab fun such that we continued to take her classes after I finished rehab."
-Dr Steven Neudorf
"Clarissa is THE BEST. This is no ordinary experience. She intuitively blends from the many techniques she has studied over the years to craft each session in the highest service to your body, mind and soul. I had a session with her this weekend that helped open my heart (well, actually it was my spleen channel) and restore balance in my being. I cannot recommend her enough!!!"
-Rachel Martin
"Clarissa is amazing! I went in after having a very hard time dealing with an anxiety episode that was not responding to my regular and very effective regulatory measures in the past. After a very empathetic conversation she suggested a soulful alignment. My first time having this service and it was so effective. Her support and knowledge combined with her love for what she is something I had not experienced before. She kept in touch afterwards and provided me with tools to continue my healing process at home. I am sure I’ll continue exploring her multiple healing modalities. Such a blessing to have her in my life "
-Lizette Soldo
"Clarissa not only helped my mother walk again, but helped her regain a level of independence we were unsure was possible. She is an amazing therapist with the ability to assess what each person needs and apply a specific training program that will not only heal your body, but enable you to live a healthier life."
-Natale Lessey
"I remember experiencing excruciating pain just stepping off a curb. I tried chiropractors, acupuncture, and all kinds of other treatments. Nothing really worked. I truly credit Clarissa for changing my life: not just for taking the pain away, but by increasing the quality of my regular life by so much."
-Tom Ito
"Clarissa has been an integral part of my self-care for the last ten years. She is trained in many modalities to help you rebalance your spirit and body so that you can be mindfully alive to your life. In addition, she has a passion for helping you prevent common health pitfalls and will make sure your routine is holistic and preventative."
