About Sigrid Austin

I believe that as humans we are designed to heal from within !

MY STORY

I have been dealing with structural alignment issues since an early age. Diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia at birth resulting in scoliosis in my teenage years.

My great desire to stay active and enjoy life, without pain, has become significantly important to me. I tried various types of bodywork, massage, chiropractic, acupuncture immersing myself in the study of Yoga, all of them helpful and giving temporary relief, nothing lasting. 

 Not until I discovered Thomas Hanna’s techniques and its unique neuromuscular approach of Hanna Somatic Education, did I experience increased comfort and mobility with improved alignment. Being educated on how my muscles are connected and released via my brain. I love that somatic movements are pleasurable, gentle, slow motion and they leave my whole body pain free. 

I am super excited to have this tool in managing pain and postural imbalance with comfort and ease.

 That I love to share with YOU!
