Pain Management & Restoration
Meet your pain with intelligence — not force.
Chronic and acute pain are not just physical events. They are nervous system events. The body braces, compensates, and holds patterns of protection long after the original cause has passed.
These offerings do not mask pain. They address the conditions that sustain it — through yoga therapy, restorative practice, and evidence-based technology — so the body can begin to reorganize around safety rather than threat.

💜 $30 per session
A deeply restorative, non-invasive session on the Aura Lounge mat — combining Far Infrared heat and Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy with guided breathwork. Twenty to thirty-five minutes of supported rest on the mat, followed by ten to fifteen minutes of breath-led nervous system regulation. No movement required. No prior experience necessary.
• Far Infrared (FIR) heat penetrating deep into muscles, joints, and soft tissue
• PEMF therapy for cellular-level pain relief and inflammation reduction
• Guided breathwork to down-regulate the nervous system during and after the session
• Deeply restorative - appropriate for high pain states, fatigue, or anyone new to movement-based care
• Evidence-informed - clinically studied modalities with strong safety profiles
• A powerful complement to yoga therapy sessions or physical therapy
Questions
Q: Do I need prior yoga or movement experience?
A: No. These sessions are designed to meet you exactly where you are — including high pain states, limited mobility, and complete unfamiliarity with yoga or breathwork. Kaitlin and Erin will adapt everything to your body and your current capacity.
Q: I am already working with a physical therapist. Can I still come?
A: Yes — and we encourage it. Our approach is designed to be complementary to physical therapy, not competitive with it. We communicate with care teams when appropriate and ensure that what you are doing in these sessions supports and does not conflict with your PT plan. Between your physician, your PT, and Kaitlin, we will make sure you are supported at every layer.
Q: What is the Aura Lounge mat — is it safe?
A: The Aura Lounge mat combines Far Infrared heat and Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy — two clinically studied, non-invasive modalities with strong safety profiles and no significant side effects in the research literature. If you have a pacemaker, are pregnant, or have active implanted medical devices, please consult your physician before booking a mat session. Kaitlin will review your health history before your first session.
Q: What is the difference between a private session and a group class?
A: Private sessions with Kaitlin are fully individualized — she assesses your specific presentation and builds each session around your body, your history, and your goals. Group sessions offer the same evidence-based approach in a shared space at a lower cost. Many women begin with a group class to experience the work, then move into private sessions for deeper, personalized support.
Q: I have a specific diagnosis. Is this appropriate for me?
A: These sessions are designed to be accessible for a wide range of chronic and acute pain presentations — including back pain, fibromyalgia, arthritis, joint pain, neuropathy, pelvic pain, and postpartum recovery. If you have a complex or serious diagnosis, we recommend reaching out before your first session so Kaitlin can assess the best entry point for your situation. We always recommend working in conjunction with your clinical care team — physician, physical therapist, and any other relevant providers.
Q: Can I book a mat session without booking a yoga therapy session?
A: Yes. The Restorative Mat + Breath session stands completely alone and does not require any prior yoga therapy experience. It is a deeply accessible, non-movement-based offering — appropriate for anyone, including those who are not ready for active movement due to pain, fatigue, or recovery.
