Over years of working with the body, I’ve learned that persistent pain rarely comes from muscle tension alone. It’s usually rooted in patterns—how we compensate, how we stabilize, and how past experiences shape the way we move. These patterns live in both the structure of the body and the subtler ways we brace, guard, or adapt to a given situation life puts in our path.

My work brings together these two layers: the mechanical patterns that influence alignment, mobility, and strength, and the quieter, lived experiences that inform how the body organizes itself. Sessions blend corrective bodywork with movement retraining, helping you recognize and release which tension patterns you’re still holding onto that are no longer useful and then rebuilding more efficient, resilient movement.

The name Chulel (Ch’ulel) is drawn from Mayan medicine and echoes the Eastern idea of chi, a vital life force that connects body, mind, and lived experience. I chose it not as cultural appropriation, but because of a moment that profoundly shifted my understanding of this work. The name became a marker of that shift.

Through our sessions, you’ll begin to find more space and fluidity in your movement—unwinding long-held patterns and building the stability your body needs to move with strength and ease.
