Hello! I have a scheduling update.

I am now seeing patients Monday through Thursday. Fridays are no longer on the schedule.

As a reminder here is my current availability :

Monday 8:30-12 and 2-5
Tuesday 8:30-2
Wednesday 9-1 and 4-7
Thursday 8:30-2

ALSO…. some of you have told me that you don’t see availability on the schedule when in reality there is. I’m not sure if this is an operating system issue but please know that you can always direct message me here to double check or through the patient portal.

Have a great rest of your week!

Welcome Shira to BB Wellness Collective. 🎉🎉🎉

I’m so happy she’s joined the roster of amazing instructors. Shira has taken over for our much beloved Sammy who moved back to the UK a few weeks ago 😢

Shira is available Monday-Friday at BB. Please give her a follow and find her booking info at BB Wellness Collective website.

Here’s a little bit more about Shira:

I found my way to pilates through yoga. While always a yoga teacher at heart, what drew me to pilates was its intricate approach to strengthening and alignment. I discovered how functional a modality it is – a way to support other forms of exercise and acts of daily living.

I have 5+ years of teaching experience and have worked with a range of bodies, experience levels, and injuries. My love for teaching is rooted in the belief that movement practices are boundless – they have the capacity to heal and transform in profound ways.

My pilates practice has helped me deepen my yoga practice, develop healthier posture and movement patterns, work through injury, cultivate deeper awareness and muscular engagement while strength training, running, walking, sitting, really doing anything. I hope to facilitate a practice in which you can cultivate all of the above and more; one where you can better understand and connect with yourself from a place of curiosity and openness.

We walked thousands of steps a day (like over 20k 😅), scaled so so many stairs, ate to our heart’s content and reveled in Japanese culture and sights.

It is time to sayounara 👋🏽 to this wonderfully interesting and beautiful country and its people.

I’ll be back at BB on Monday 4/7. Anticipating that I will need some time to acclimate I’m only seeing morning patients that week. I still have a few spots open so if you’d like to come in please book your session today. For those coming in I’ll have some Japanese treats to share. 🙂

The week of 4/14 I’ll be back to regular schedule and just to let you know it’s more than halfway booked already.

Thank you so much for following along on my adventures in stories.

See ya soon!

For the first time ever my family and I are going on a true vacation. It’s been in the works for a few years, IYKYK 😅

We’ll be in Japan for two weeks starting at the end of March and I honestly cannot wait.

This means that I will be out of the office from March 25th thru April 5th. I’ll be back to the office on April 7th. My schedule usually books out quickly when I take time off and since I’ve never taken two whole weeks off, I suggest to plan accordingly.

If you’ve been thinking of coming in for a session, do so soon or make your appointment now for the weeks following my return.

I want to see you!

The healing dog in residence is back!!! I’m so happy to have him back at my side at BB. He’s a bit trasquiladao around the eyes still but the fur is growing back nicely.

Spring is only a few short weeks away. In fact, the Spring Equinox occurs on March 20th at exactly 2:01 AM PST. Celebrate the rejuvenation of spring by rejuvenating your self-care routine.

I understand if you’re feeling stressed and exhausted by current world events- I feel you. I’m coping by setting limits on the amount of news I consume. I’m also prioritizing my self-care routine. Your health and well-being are also in your hands. Making space for intentionality makes space for capacity.

Patients coming in to the office are saying the same thing- “it’s so peaceful in here”. That is intentional. I control the tone that is set in my space, all for your benefit. Whether it’s the essential oils I’m diffusing, the crystals I set out or the energy I greet you with. I want BB to evoke peace, tranquillity and safety.

If this is resonating. come on in and take a load off, literally!

Self-care is a real and loving act. If you don’t do it, who will?

We face challenging times. It’s a test of our patience, resilience, and composure. If you haven’t prioritized self-care this year, This is your reminder.

Self-care is a form of resistance. CHOOSE YOURSELF 💐

In January 2020, Back Benders was a thriving wellness clinic offering Pilates and massage therapy, besides my own services. Yet, after a remarkable ten-year run, the world was ravaged by the COVID-19 pandemic. Overnight, two-thirds of my business was nonessential. This resulted in the loss of both employees and revenue. I was fortunate that my chiropractic practice was essential, allowing me to continue working and strategize for the future. With the lifting of restrictions, I developed a plan to maintain the distinctive complementary services that set Back Benders apart from other wellness clinics. I would create a wellness collective, BB Wellness Collective (that’s BB as in Back Benders, hehe). My clinic had the space, equipment, and the added benefit of providing a beautiful and supportive environment for entrepreneurs to start or grow their businesses.

I’m thrilled with the collective’s progress. Currently, there are three Pilates instructors and one massage therapist. But here is still room for at least two more massage or energy healing practitioners and one more Pilates instructor.

If you’re a practitioner or know one looking for a welcoming and healing space? Reach out! I have a link to the BB Wellness Collective inquiry form in my bio.

I absolutely adore the practitioners who have joined our collective thus far. It’s a group of fantastically talented and intuitive women. 

I sincerely appreciate your ongoing support of Back Benders, BB Wellness Collective, and The Auric Fields.

The firestorm that continues to ravage our city has left me heartbroken. This has been incredibly stressful for both my family and me, as I imagine it has been for you. Evacuation warnings and BB’s location near the fire zone have created an even more stress. Everything is packed, yet I recognize our privilege that we are still in our home and BB seems out of danger thus far.

I am saddened that some in our BB community have lost their homes and businesses. My thoughts and prayers are with them during this tragedy. I am heartbroken by their loss. I share my deepest gratitude for the courageous first responders; they’re the true heroes here.

If you can help, I’ve attached some links in stories. Our city and neighbors really need it, especially displaced pets and wild life. You know I love furry friends..

What can I offer to help?

My service is the most valuable thing I own. So, for the next few weeks I am offering no-cost chiropractic treatment for people who have lost their homes. They will need to email directly to info@backbenders.com
Please do not make an appointment online. I will try to accommodate as many as possible.

In addition, our sister biz, will donate 50% of all sales for the next few weeks to the Pasadena Humane Society.

Thank you so much for being a part of this community and you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I love LA and you! ♥️
