Manual therapy in Portland, Maine.
Reconnect with your body.
Chronic pain isn’t just physical—it disconnects you from your body, your vitality, and your life. Step out of the cycle and return to easeful movement, grounded presence, and your innate wisdom in a body that feels like home again.
Reconnection is the remedy. Reclaim your freedom and flow.
You were meant to move freely.
Every moment you live in pain shapes how you show up—in your body, in your relationships, in your joy. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
When tension unwinds, possibility returns. Let’s help your body become a source of strength again—something that carries you forward, not holds you back.
There was a time when movement felt effortless—when you didn’t have to second-guess a stretch, a hike, a deep breath. When your body moved with you, not against you.
That memory isn’t lost. It’s a whisper beneath the surface, waiting to return.
Pain has a way of dulling our aliveness, convincing us that tension is just part of the deal. But your body is always listening—and longing for relief that lasts.
Here, we don’t just soothe what hurts. We work with your body like a trusted companion, gently unwinding what’s stuck and reawakening what’s been forgotten.
Because healing isn’t about pushing through—it’s about coming back to yourself.
Meet Your Body’s Interpreter - Monique
I pay attention to the quiet things—how your body holds your story, how your spine reflects your stress, how your spirit signals when it’s had enough.
I don't just work on your muscles; I listen through my hands, working with your body to deeply unwind patterns that have kept you stuck, sometimes in places you don’t even realize.
Together, we create space—inside your joints, your breath, your life.
I've guided hundreds of people back into movements they thought were gone for good. Because your body hasn’t forgotten how — it just needs help remembering the way.
Let’s bring you home to yourself.
The path to feeling free again is more natural than you think.
Before your session:
Before any hands-on work, I’ll listen to your story: what brings you in, what injuries or pain you’re concerned about, what goals you have, how you feel, and how you move in your body every day.
During your session:
We begin each session looking at how you stand and move, noting what is working and where you feel “stuck” with tension and compensation patterns. This helps guide our work. Then, we’ll move into hands-on techniques to help mobilize your tissues and restore balance to the whole body.
After your session:
I’ll provide you with tailored suggestions on how to continue supporting your progress in achieving lasting change.
