Carol work is  mostly with middle-aged and older folks, building relationships where she can teach greater interoception, structural alignment, mindful movement, movement from core muscles, increased balance, relaxation, breathwork, pain relief, myofascial release, and pelvic floor health. She guides people into relaxation and healing through yoga nidra, body scans and breathwork/pranayama.  Relaxation techniques can help with insomnia, manage pain and can ground us in love in order to access our unique path to liberation.  Carol worked for 18 years with postpartum moms and babies during those crucial first 6 months.
