Paola fixed what 2 ortho surgeons could not. I was in deep, chronic back pain despite 2 back surgeries when I tried a small yoga class.
Unable to manage that, I went to Paola 1:1. She observed and questioned me and determined I needed a leg discrepancy eval.
I now have shoes with a small lift and next to NO pain.
She will work tirelessly to help you!

My experience with Paola has been amazing! I have been doing weekly, one-on-one mindful yoga sessions with her for the past year. I have a lot of health issues and specific parts of the body that I need to work on. I am very impressed with Paola’s knowledge of physiology and her ability to understand the issues I have. Paola is very attentive and observant in our sessions, and has been able to figure out the underlying needs that have been causing me pain, such as weak glut muscles being responsible for my foot pain. She creates a weekly yoga session specifically for me that addresses my needs and focuses on the parts of my body that most need yoga movements. The pain and mobility issues I was experiencing have dramatically improved with her help. One thing that surprised me is how much I have benefited from Paola’s practice of mindfulness and addressing the mind-body connection. I have learned how to engage in deep-listening to my body. Her whole-body and mind-body approach has helped me in every aspect of my health, including my sleep quality and my ability to experience stress without it manifesting as a physical problem. Paola has a deep connection to both yoga and mindfulness, and integrates them in a way that has been profoundly helpful to me. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to work with her every week!

My time with Paola was invaluable to me. Her own mindfulness and ability to not only teach but model it was very impactful on my life. I had never met anyone with as much knowledge of yoga and she has a real gift for sharing that knowledge.

Paola is an amazing yoga teacher and life-coach. I highly recommend doing both the various yoga sessions she offers as well as meeting with her one-on-one for her coaching and mentoring. She is thoughtful and insightful, and wants to help her clients move forward in life. During this stressful period of time (virus among other matters), Paola has been a source of strength and encouragement in terms of my own ability to get work done and to stay balanced. Paola is the real deal!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
$75.00 for 60 minutes in person
$85.00 for 60 minutes in person if the drive to you is over 10 miles.
$55.00 for 60 minutes on zoom.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will send you a virtual form to collect information to save time during our session. We will have a brief discussion to establish specific goals and be sure we are both in the same page. If dealing with physical pain I will do a brief postural assessment and explain it to you in detail. We then proceed to our first practices and as we end we discuss the takeaways from the session. Finally I will set you up with a strategy so you can follow up on your own and practice what you learned.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a background in massage therapy and I have studied pain relief techniques like myofascial release, neuro-somatic therapy, posturology, anatomy trains training for bodywork and movement therapy.
I earned the E-RYT 500 yoga teacher status in 2016 after 4 years of intense training and study. I taught yoga for 5 years at a major studio where I taught a variety of yoga styles including restorative yoga, classic fundamentals, yoga nidra and meditation but the majority of m y work there was doing private sessions. I also taught on specialty workshops on a regular basis.
I have incorporated the knowledge I gained through massage and yoga in a very unique and effective methodology which I use in all my teachings.
