What I canhelp with.
Most people land here after trying everything else. If your pain keeps moving, keeps coming back, or never quite resolves, there is usually a structural reason. This is my specialty.
What I can help you with.
Chronic neck & back pain
The pain you have carried for years, usually driven by a pattern further up or down the chain.
Shoulder pain & impingement
Stiff, catchy, or on the edge of surgery. We read the ribs, neck, and posture feeding the joint.
Sciatica & hip pain
Deep hip and glute tension, and the low-back patterns that refer pain down the leg.
Postpartum recovery
Rebuild core, posture, and the midline connection after birth. There is a malleable window worth using.
Perimenopause aches
New stiffness and pain as tissue changes. We restore mobility and balance for the body you have now.
Posture: rounded shoulders, forward head
Text neck and the desk-built hunch. We unwind the front and wake up the back.
Foot, arch & gait
Plantar tension and flat or collapsing arches that quietly throw off everything above.
Stress, bracing & the nervous system
A body that cannot let go. We help your system feel safe so the tissue actually releases.
Athletic performance & recovery
Hikers, dancers, lifters. Move with more spring and bounce back faster.
Mia's 3 session series helped me understand and work with the diastasis recti I have from my son's birth two years ago. Now I feel lifted and elongated, my organs feel supported, my belly is no longer dumping out. My posture is so much better. I feel like I am standing in gravity the way nature intended instead of hunched over. I only wish I had met Mia sooner.
Mom and computer programmer
My body really feels 10 years younger just from one session. My morning neck stretches were so much more delightful, and the range of motion in my neck has greatly improved.
Bodyworker, Ayurvedic practitioner
I've worked with Mia for 16 years. She doesn't chase the pain; she finds the why. She reads patterns in my body that other practitioners miss, then actually changes them. She is hands down the best bodyworker in Nevada City and Grass Valley.
Grass Valley
Mia's Oov class is great. I walk out feeling taller, more grounded, balanced, and centered. Her extensive knowledge of fascia shines through, she addresses the body as a whole instrument, all parts and systems interconnected. I highly recommend her teaching.
Pilates instructor
After an hour of Mia's exceptional teaching, I walked out taller and lengthened, more present and more intimately alive. After my 12 SI sessions my body felt great and moved with graceful fluidity. I felt 10 years younger. One session of Fascial Fitness brought all of me together, in a delightful way.
Retired chiropractor
I came in skeptical and left a believer. Mia has a way of listening with her hands that I have never experienced anywhere else.
