Hey friend,
While I might not know your exact story yet, I know how it can feel to carry an unseen burden. To feel dismissed and confused and scared.
In 2011, I suffered an injury that sent me into debilitating pain, unanswered questions, countless medical appointments, fear, immobility, and ultimately, isolation and depression.
All of a sudden going to the grocery store or getting a decent night's sleep was near impossible.
This was my life for over a year……until I found a guide, a manual therapist who really helped connect all the dots with me.
I learned that my body wasn’t the enemy, that I could move safely and that compassionate care really is the foundational piece of effective pain relief.
For the past 10 years, I’ve been insanely passionate about supporting other women in the way that I wish I would have been from the start.
As a mother, fellow woman, athlete, and envelope pusher, I can tell you living an unbound life is possible.
All the love and inspiration,
Stefanie Boyer

You already know pain care today isn’t working.
That’s why you are here.
Medical providers are overburdened...
...and frankly, they often don’t listen. On average, providers interrupt 11 seconds into a patient encounter.
Pain science isn't covered in medical school...
Yep, that's right, pain science isn't covered in medical school. This rapidly evolving field has shown that pain is much more complex than once thought. We know that effective pain care must consider biological, psychological, cultural, nutritional and other factors to be impactful. This is called biopsychosocial pain care and has been acknowledged as the most effective, person centered approach to pain management.
The Boomerang Spaghetti Effect...
Have you been from doctor to physical therapy to occupational therapy to surgery to massage therapist and back again... Then you’ve felt the boomerang. Then comes the spaghetti. Let’s just throw all these uncoordinated care attempts at the wall and hope that something sticks, shall we?
There’s actually no problem- it’s just all in your head...
WRONG! Women are especially unheard and unseen in their pain journey, often leading down a path of frustration, depression and isolation. Women are more likely than men to experience medical gaslighting.
We fill the gap for at home pain recovery and support for all the life lived

“I achieved greater mobility physically and mentally!”
Soma with Stefanie was transformational. I achieved greater mobility physically and mentally! Stefanie’s approach to the work is professional and inviting. Always aware of her client’s experience, she was able to cater her treatment to gain maximum experiential results. I enjoyed our sessions and look forward to more tune ups in the future.
