Sheena grew up playing in the snow and water around Lake Michigan. She took some pretty big falls resulting in numerous injuries throughout her life. The beginning of her healing journey started with massage school. From the beginning, she had an appetite to learn more techniques and approaches. After many years of giving bodywork she fell in love with Pilates after experiencing the effectiveness of controlled movement and it’s healing abilities. Particularly on her back pain. Pilates complimented the hands on Bodywork adding a movement element. Always active and finding new parts of the puzzle to heal herself and others, a consistent yoga practice was always a part of her early healing journey but since she found the Kaiut Method she has never looked back. She found its effects on the nervous system and ease of chronic pain awe inspiring. When Sheena is not in the office, studio, or a zoom meeting she can be found riding her mountain bike, hiking, or making art.
Kaiut Method:
The Kaiut method is a biomechanical yoga practice designed by Francisco Kaiut-a Brazilian chiropractor. Born out of Francisco’s own necessity to work with pain as a result of a childhood injury, Kaiut Yoga is deeply influenced by Francisco’s professional practice and his education in craniosacral and polarity therapies, deep tissue massage, and hatha yoga. Sheena will take the time to get to know your unique experience and history of your body so that we can cultivate a practice just for you.
