Facility Details: Note from Doreen: We are doing everything we can to minimize the risk of exposure to the coronavirus at our office. When you arrive in the parking lot (directions below), please stay in your car and text or call me at 608-244-2446. Please wear a mask. We do have some if you forget. I will meet you at the top of the ramp that goes to the second floor entrance door and take your temperature as well as ask you screening questions related to Covid-19. If all is well, I'll escort you into the office. If you have any suspicious symptoms or know that you've been recently exposed to someone with Covid-19 or who has suspicious symptoms, please do not come. I'll be happy to arrange a class at a different date for you. Our building is at 2702 International Lane, near the airport. As you head toward the airport on International Lane, our driveway is the second left after the traffic light at the intersection with Anderson. Drive to the far end of the parking lot near the ramp that you'll see connecting the parking lot to the 2nd floor door. If you don't see me outside, please call or text me at 608-244-2446.

Required text: 8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back.



“In six sessions I felt transformed. The approach is stunningly simple and confers immediate results. I wholeheartedly endorse this program.”

        - Deirdre Stegman, M.D. Internal Medicine, Palo Alto Medical Foundation


“Every year tens of thousands of patients undergo major back surgery without any benefit. By using the novel techniques of the Gokhale Method, many of these patients can avoid such needless and expensive medical procedures and quickly return to a pain-free life.”

        - John R. Adler, Neurosurgeon, Stanford University Medical Clinic, Stanford, CA


"Although stunningly simple, the Gokhale Method™ turns much of conventional wisdom about pain and posture on its head. Each session of the course gave immediate results and I now look forward to many years of a healthy neck and back."

        - Joan Baez, folk singer and activist, Woodside, CA

I have sanitizable pillows and yoga mats at the office, so you don't need to bring anything.
