Ashley Kuhnau

NLP Practitioner, Certified Brainspotting Practitioner and PTA

My background is 20 years in physical therapy – I have a profound understanding of what is happening in the body biologically when you are under stress from injury or emotion. In addition to that, I fully understand the mental toughness it takes to live life with chronic pain and how your world can quickly crumble when it’s not there.

 

This combination of experience makes me completely unique to help you gain a deeper understanding of your body and the brain/body connection. The neuroanatomy education you will receive is the first and most important step to understanding how this affects the physical and emotional state your body is in. It will offer you a brand new perspective. I want you to learn what is happening and feel comforted knowing your pain is 100% real and in the process, you now have an understanding of why.
