Sometimes, challenges in physical and emotional health make everyday tasks difficult. For example:

Joint and muscular challenges due to arthritis or the effects of aging effect flexibility, strength, and/or balance. This can make it difficult to stand for prolonged periods, get on footwear, or get up and down from the floor

Chronic back or neck pain make it difficult to move easily, contributing to a more sedentary lifestyle.

Stress or anxiety can take joy out of life and lead to worry.

Thank you, Carrie Pollard Donoghue, for showing me the amazing benefits of Thai Yoga Massage!! After tolerating (and trying a number of alternative methods for relief) chronic back pain for years, I was blown away by how much relief I felt after our sessions. And the stretches and yoga poses you taught me have truly helped maintain the relief! I highly highly recommend!! Not only is she a gifted therapist, but Carrie's professionalism and nurturing, calming demeanor is fantastic. Treat yourself!

I have really enjoyed my sessions with Carrie. I think the exercises she tailored for me have really made a difference for my core strength and my posture. I had thought my posture was a lost cause, but it has greatly improved. I most look forward to the body work Carrie does with me after I demonstrate where I am on my exercises.
Kate, Portland
Carrie is a gem! Her grounded, encouraging approach and expert insight has helped me to improve not only the symptoms for which I sought her out, but my whole wellbeing. She embodies person-centered care and truly meets her clients where they are, inviting a sense of ease to balance the effort of the work. I feel supported and seen each time we meet and am so grateful to have found her.
