With its focus on both physical and mental awareness, yoga is therapeutic both as a traditional practice for health and wellbeing—and as a gentle, alternative therapy for therapeutic rehabilitation, movement therapy, and long-term support. Customized yoga therapy programs are provided by an experienced yoga therapist specializing in NeuroSupportive Yoga Therapy™ for neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, ALS, and Parkinson's, as well as yoga therapy for chronic pain management, cancer recovery, and rehabilitation.
​
Second Nature supports women in life and living through the practices of yoga therapy and lifestyle therapy—emphasizing stability, self-reliance, and resilience. We are sensitive to cultural customs as well as the need for a safe space: yoga therapy sessions are provided in-home.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to see food sources as natural healing sources, both for the body and mind? Whole Person Nutrition does just that: the whole person is considered, not simply the body. Nutrition consultations range from balancing lifestyle and learning the basics of wholesome, healthful eating, to recognizing and managing emotional or disordered eating. We do not prescribe supplements or follow fad diets—instead, supportive lifestyle therapy options are provided which may include nutritional therapy and guidance.
Comprehensive Therapy Programs are a long-term option for neurosupportive therapy, therapeutic rehabilitation, palliative care, cancer recovery or while in treatment, and chronic pain management. Rather than offering short-term therapy with little support or follow-up, we provide extended, personalized support over months or years, creating a client relationship that adapts and changes as needs change.
Traditional Thai Therapies consider the body as a whole rather than isolating an area for treatment, drawing upon the scope of traditional Thai medicine and therapies which include manual therapies, herbal therapies, and lifestyle change. Our therapeutic Thai bodywork (nuad borarn) is based in the Thai medicine tradition and is focused on treatment and healing—not popularized, acrobatic techniques. Nuad boran is a versatile therapy for those with neurological conditions, persistent pain, paralysis, muscle atrophy, and reduced range of motion.
