"After my appointment with you I had little to no pain for the rest of the day and just felt relaxed. This morning I woke up with my usual pain so I decided to do the program you wrote out for me and...no pain for most of the day. I have decided to do the program in the morning and again at night where I can do it in peace. I am very excited and I wish we had met many years ago." ~Marie Y



"Being involved in the women’s yoga group has given me a safe place to talk openly with other women who are struggling with body image, eating disorder thoughts, ideas, and behaviors. The group provides me with support, while challenging me to make positive changes in my life.

The yoga practice has taught me a form of movement that is more about taking time to be with myself each day; moving in a calm introspective way, instead of exercising with the intent to burn calories, lose weight, and disconnect from my body. Caroline has taught me that yoga is not about being perfect with the poses, but instead, it is a way of taking time to sit with myself in acceptance; breathe, focus, and ground myself- setting aside all the negative thoughts, self-hate, even if it is only for that short time each day. This group, along with traditional therapy has proven to be extremely helpful on my path to recovery."~Jules



"The difference your work has made in my life is impossible for me to quantify. The level of pain I am in has been cut in half, my flexibility is substantially improved and my mood hasn't been this good, or this stable at any time in my life that I can remember. It is truly shocking what you have brought into, and probably taken out of, my life. There is much more being imparted to me than asanas, movements and breathing associated with yoga. There is an unusual warmth, energy and life that you bring to your work."~Misha B.


"My experience with the Women's ED group has been wonderful; don't get me wrong it was challenging. The wonderful came from being in a safe place were I could be open with other women who have similar issues around food and body image. We met together once a week, talked, did yoga, drew, meditated and journaled. We had weekly homework and over time we developed a trust and openness that allowed us to be real with our struggles. The process for me was honest, tough and on occasions very emotional. I opened up about things that I had never discussed before. Listening to the other women, Caroline and the guest speakers I began to realize I was not alone and could forgive myself and start to heal. This is a great program for any woman dealing with ED, body image or other self esteem issues. You have to be ready to be open but if you are this is a great place to help yourself heal.”~J.P.



"Hello to those interested in yoga having a positive and everlasting effect on your life and health. I wanted to share my experience working with Caroline. About 1 1/2 year ago, I had a 2 month period where I enlisted her services as a yoga therapist. I had a narrow window of time before I relocated to a Northwestern state.

My history and reason for seeking her services was chronic hip pain. After having no improvement from traditional physical therapy, I wanted to try yoga therapy. I had enjoyed attending yoga classes for a few years prior but had not been successful in helping my pain by just attending class. I was impressed with Caroline’s approach from the first visit as she spent time with me especially in inspecting my frame, strength and capabilities. She paid particular attention to my physical status and was the first individual to take note of my mild scoliosis and feel that it may have an effect on my overall posture and strength. She built a program for me utilizing my strengths that progressed in the level of complexity.

I met with Caroline weekly to get going on an accelerated program. She was positive and supportive of my slowly improving practice. Her studio was comfortable, peaceful and inviting. It reflected her calm and reassuring personality. The key to success with development with yoga therapy is the combination of expert guidance and an ongoing home practice. I found that in the short period I worked with Caroline, I made significant advances in building strength in the supporting muscle groups. I was able to see a gradual lessening of my pain. I appreciated the opportunity to work with Caroline and would recommend her to others with conditions that cause chronic pain. I have not found an individual with a similar warm and engaging spirit in my new home city. " ~Karen G.
