Amy Smith

Hi Amy, 
It has been a year since we worked together, and I am so happy to report that I have been nearly symptom free this entire time! Whenever I have felt pain start to come back on, I know how to look at how I'm using my body and make adjustments.
I am so grateful. Thank you for all that you do.

Amy Smith is a healer. In my book, that is the highest compliment one can earn. She is wise, kind, patient, direct, practical, helpful and has a sense of humor, on top of all that! Without Amy's guidance in learning the Gokhale Method in person, all with proper precautions against COVID-19 in place, I would have continued having debilitating back pain for the years to come. I will never be able to thank her enough.

I really enjoyed Amy's teaching approach, and I feel that with practice, my posture will improve quite considerably. I already feel much improved in the way I stand, walk, and lie down to sleep, and my upper back pain has lessened quite a bit. 

Thank you again for putting on a great class this weekend. You provided so much information in a very easy to understand format. The hands-on was very effective and helped fine tune the different positions taught in the book. Essentially, you made everything from the book come to life and the repetition helped solidify to movements that lead to good posture. 

Thanks again for the class and thanks in advance for taking a look at my working posture.
 

I just wanted to express my deep appreciation for the class this weekend. Although I know I have a long road ahead to correct my issues, I now feel I know how to do it, and I will! Sorry I had to leave early but I was late for another appointment.

I was in a restaurant with my husband last night, practicing my sitting, when all of a sudden I just felt like a queen. I was amazed and I'm looking forward to getting used to that!

Also, I ordered the bolster from Amazon and it came today. I love it. Due to my short legs I can seldom find a comfortable chair that allows me to sit up straight instead

Amy was knowledgable, her nursing background really complements Gokhale teaching. She is engaging and explains the techniques clearly. By the way, my back pain is SO much better!

Amy is personable, attentive, and flexible. The Gokhale Method has been more helpful than anything I've ever tried; surgery, massage, physical therapy, chiropractic, or acupuncture. I've had back pain for 25 years and my pain is significantly less.

"I took Amy's 6 course program in Gokhale Method and found it excellent. As a middle age active working wife/mother/surgeon, I found my posture was contributing to mild back/neck pain and I didn't know how to prevent it. I had read about the Gokhale Method and found it made a lot of sense, so at first, I tried to learn from a book I purchased. However, taking the course made a huge difference. Amy's background as a nurse and educator made her a natural instructor. She was able to make specific observations that applied to me and gave me several exercises that were easy to do and that I could incorporate into everyday life. She helped make adjustments for sleeping, driving the car, working in the operating room. She simplified exercises I can do while sitting in a boring meeting or standing in line at the grocery. I've found these small adjustments in my posture have given me a taller, leaner look and made it easier to get through the day and have a good night's sleep. Amy's style is encouraging, nonjudgmental, and fun -- I recommend this class to anyone trying to improve their posture and reduce/prevent pain in the future."

Amy takes such good care of you; she helps direct your posture in the right direction.
