I had problems with my balance so I enrolled in Hilary’s Structural Integration series. After completing the 12 sessions not only did my balance greatly improve but in addition so did my posture. Hilary is very professional and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her services.
Hilary is a true professional in this field! She's wholly dedicated to your wellbeing and approaches your treatment in a very systematic yet customized manner. She took into account all my issues and applied this incredibly powerful fascia bodywork technique in a way that really moved the needle for me. As someone living with idiopathic scoliosis, I have tried many modalities of treatment for both pain relief and postural maintenance. Hilary's approach was something quite unique and has noticeably helped me open up my torso and spinal column. Through the 12 session course I noticed so many subtle but interesting changes in my body. From the way I was grounded in my feet to the way my head seemed to more easily sit in the right place above my shoulders. And now I no longer lock my knees when standing naturally! These sessions were tremendous benefit to my overall wellbeing and my general body awareness which I thought I had a good grasp of, coming from a dance background. Hilary is patient, calm, and personable, and is an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who seeks to improve their sense of wellbeing, vitality, balance, and strength.
Hilary has fixed me! After a few years of chronic piriformis syndrome, I am able to walk pain free again. She knows what she is doing. She is genuinely interested in what she does. Informative, professional and caring!
After seeing many doctors and specialist who were unable to provide quality care and a proper diagnosis, I started working with Hilary due to a chronic and very painful neck condition that had me unable to sleep more than 2hrs for over 4 months. We started off with her 12 week Structural Integration Series and it has helped my body so much. Not only was my pain becoming more manageable and decreasing as the weeks progressed, but she was also able to work with my body to improve my alignment and structural support. Hilary is always professional, attentive, thoughtful and extremely knowledgeable. She is great with communication, organized and punctual. If you are looking for a wonderful therapist/specialist who will prioritize your health as well as respects and listens to her clients, than Hilary is one of the best you could work with.
After undergoing a thoracic spinal fusion, I struggled for over 1 year to make any substantial healing progress and found myself very hopeless and in a constant cycle of flare ups, unable to carry out daily tasks. I really wasn’t sure if I would ever be pain free or live a normal life again. Since working with Hilary, I have made more progress in the last 3 months then I had in the 14 months prior. Hilary is so kind and really took the time to make me feel heard and safe throughout the entire experience. I am so grateful to her and for the incredible changes I’ve seen and felt because of her work. I would definitely not be where I am today without her skill and care. I truly look forward to receiving more treatments in the future.
I first started my SI body work series with Hilary in spring/summer of 2021 and although the series was 12 weeks, I started to notice a difference in my alignment, and in my right shoulder/neck/jaw pain which I’ve had for years, managing it with massage and acupuncture only to have temporary relief. I have since returned to see Hilary for maintenance bodywork. Hilary is very gentle in her approach but SO effective! She takes the time to listen to your body ailments while asking and being curious about what might have triggered things. She is so knowledgeable but also very pleasant! A definite must see for anything bodywork related!!
Hilary was great to work with. She had a calming presence, she really took time to listen to my health history and her space was inviting. What I found really cool was Hilary’s point of view about my structural dysfunction. Hilary was able to see something different about what was off about my alignment that I’d never heard before and I found that really exciting. Regular massage therapists and chiropractors don’t look at the body the way structural integrationists do and I highly recommend Hilary to those who aren’t getting great results with regular routes.
I probably don’t have the words to describe how grateful I am to have stumbled upon Anatomy Trains and Hilary. I was definitely very skeptical of this method coming from a no pain no gain gym mentality when I started. I am currently at my 8th session out of a 12 session series, and I already feel like I have a new body, right back to my teenage days. Throughout my life I had many issues revolving around my posture. From being a very un-athletic kid, my bad posture made my body be in constant pain, inflammation and discomfort, which resulted in respiratory issues, digestion issues, allergies and many many more. After only several session out of the 12 session series, I started seeing and feeling changes throughout my body. The more I progress with Hilary, I feel more and more comfortable in my body. I am exploring ranges of movement I haven’t felt since I was very young. Now, not even finishing the entire series yet, I feel comfortable to say that whatever Hilary does in those session, will affect every area in your life. A life without pain, discomfort and inflammation, is a life free of disease and full of health. I have no doubt, that whatever issue, problem, disease or discomfort your experiencing can be resolved with fascial bodywork. I can say with complete confidence, that I will never look at the body the same as I use to. I think that every individual, no matter what age, gender or race, should go through at least one Anatomy Trains bodywork series in his/her life time. The therapeutic elements of this method, are incredible, although require patience and to disregard your disbelief. Regardless, Hilary is one of sweetest people I had recently met. Her knowledge on the matter is vast, and keeps growing. She is always willing to explain and teach for those who ask. Do yourself and your soul vessel a favor, and go through a series with her!
I'm so grateful to have found Hilary after months of working from home with long days at a desk that had left me with tightness and pain. I'd tried a number of treatments, from massage to acupuncture, which had offered only temporary relief. Just one session with Hilary, however, had a profound and lasting impact. Hilary worked intuitively with my body to open, unwind, and make space in places that were so tight they were painful to the touch, but she also got to layers I didn't know I had. After each treatment I felt lighter, taller, and even more clear-headed. Thank you, Hilary, for helping me feel like myself again!
