Founder of Retrain Physical Therapy

My approach to healing goes beyond treating symptoms. I believe the body is an intelligent, self-regulating system with an innate ability to heal when given the right support and environment. At Retrain Physical Therapy, I blend evidence-based physical therapy with advanced manual therapy techniques and a holistic, whole-body approach to care—understanding that physical pain, nervous system imbalance, stress, and emotional patterns are often deeply interconnected. My goal is not only to help you feel better, but to help you reconnect with your body and create lasting healing from the inside out.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Physical Therapy in India in 2009 and later received my Master’s degree in Exercise Science & Kinesiology from California Baptist University in 2012. After years of working in outpatient orthopedic practices throughout New York City, I found myself drawn to a deeper and more integrative approach to healing—one that treated the body as a connected system rather than isolated symptoms. That path led me to Functional Manual Therapy (FMT), and in 2018, I became a Certified Functional Manual Therapist (CFMT) through the Institute of Physical Art, further deepening my understanding of whole-body healing and patient care.

Over the years, I’ve continued to expand my training in:

  • Functional Manual Therapy (FMT)

  • Craniosacral Therapy

  • Visceral Manipulation

  • Neural Manipulation

  • Nervous system regulation techniques

  • Biodynamic and energy-based healing principles

These modalities allow me to work with the body on multiple levels—including the fascia, nervous system, organs, vascular system, lymphatic system, joints, muscles, and connective tissues—to help restore balance, release stored tension, and support long-term healing.

Where I See Patients

I currently work with patients both in-person and virtually worldwide.

In-Person Locations: Weehawken, New Jersey | Hoboken, New Jersey | Manhattan, New York

 

Virtual Sessions: I also offer virtual sessions worldwide, which may include movement assessment, guided exercises, nervous system support, craniosacral-based guidance, somatic awareness, and holistic wellness integration.

My Holistic Approach to Healing

I believe healing is deeply personal. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.

Every session is individualized to meet you where you are—whether you are navigating chronic pain, injury recovery, nervous system dysregulation, stress, trauma, movement limitations, or simply looking to feel more connected and aligned within your body.

My work focuses on helping you uncover and address the root cause of discomfort rather than simply managing symptoms. Through hands-on therapy, movement, breathwork, nervous system support, and body awareness, I aim to create a space where true healing can occur.

I also believe education and empowerment are essential parts of the healing process. My goal is to provide you with tools, guidance, and awareness that continue supporting your well-being long after our sessions together.
