“I was immediately (and continue to be) impressed with Suzie Goldstein’s individualized approach. Suzie’s knowledge of the intricacies of the body is spectacular, and our one-on-one sessions focus extensively on isolating and training particular muscles in my body so well that I actually replaced physical therapy with our one-on-one sessions.

Suzie adjusts our session every time depending on what she reads in my body’s posture and movements and in what I share of my recent experiences with pain and energy, and she intentionally guides and assists me in making shifts into positions that target direct muscles (including sending me home with assigned stretches to practice the following week).”
