Welcome to Mill Valley

I have a background in personal training, emphasizing proper muscles recruitment and muscles balance. I have worked as a personal trainer/group fitness instructor at a physical therapy practice and I know the importance of muscle balance and symmetry for proper body mechanics and overall wellbeing. I look forward to creating a customized assisted stretching program to leave my clients feeling balanced and energized!

I am a CMT and Rosen Method Practitioner with private somatic therapy practice in Berkeley. I studied Astanga yoga with Richard Freeman and I continue to enjoy teaching hands on adjustments to yoga teachers. These bodywork skills translate into the assisted stretching environment where I hold a space for people to experience their own range with compassion!

From a Translation and Interpreting master’s degree in Paris to Mindfulness (UCSF) and Yoga Certification in San Francisco (RYS200), my journey has taken me to many places, continuously feeding my ongoing longing for wellness education, and outreach. I trained with a specific focus in Yin yoga and Therapy Yoga. My teachings emphasize breath awareness, and longer hold times, targeting connective tissues for increased flexibility, and improved joint health.

Nelle is an NMT (Neuromuscular Therapist) with a background in Somatic Education. She studied bodywork and Holistic Health because she wanted to find solutions for managing work-related pain such as prolonged sitting and poor body mechanics. Her strength is using her knowledge of muscle referral pain patterns and postural/movement assessment to determine which muscles are the likely culprits of your pain and STRETCH them into relaxation.
