A PERSONAL APPROACH FOR THE WHOLE YOU...
Treatment Philosophy:
​
I believe healing works best when we support the whole person - not just the pain. Your body, nervous system, emotions, mindset, and life experiences all work together to shape how you feel, function, and adapt.
You are more than your symptoms. Your body isn’t broken - it’s communicating.
​
As an integrative manual therapist and the founder of Finding GLOW, my approach blends hands-on care with Whole-self support. In sessions, we restore balance and ease through manual therapy - while also using the GLOW framework (Grace, Love, Observation, and Whole-Self living) to strengthen body connections and embodied awareness, integrate your nervous system, build self-trust, and create sustainable change.
​
This is a collaborative process between me, your readiness, and your Whole self. Your mind, body, and spirit all have a voice in healing, and together we learn how to listen, respond, and rebuild from the inside out.
Relief happens on the table - but transformation happens as you learn to carry that regulation, awareness, and empowered choice into your everyday life.
My goal is to help you reconnect with ease and come back to yourself - fulfilled, grounded, and whole.​​​​

About me...
Hi, I’m Charlene. Many people call me Char.
(you choose, both are great for me)
​
If you found your way here, there’s a good chance you’re carrying something - pain, stress, exhaustion, tension, a complex medial history, scary diagnosis, or a season of life that’s asked more of you than you expected, feel that you can handle or what you'd choose for yourself. I understand that… because I’ve been through hard things too.
​
Somewhere along the way, I learned that healing isn’t just about “fixing” the body or the injury. It’s about feeling safe inside yourself again. It’s about learning how to come back to your breath, your strength, and your truth - especially when life feels heavy.
​
Through years of training, hands-on work, and personal experience, I developed what I now call the GLOW mindset - a way of living rooted in the environment of Grace, in the motivation of Love, allowing honest Observation, and all together this leads to Whole-Self living and whole-self healing. It’s the path that helped me find real fulfillment, purpose, joy, and ease… and it’s what I return to even in my hardest seasons and has now become ingrained into my every day mindset.
​
Outside of my work, I’m someone who truly believes in the power of the outdoors, movement, and play. I think joy is medicine - and that being in nature, being curious, and letting my body move freely are all essential parts of healthy living.
I’m also a mom to two young adult daughters, and I’ve been blessed to gain two more daughters through marriage. My life is full - in the best way. And I’m always growing, learning, exploring, and expanding. Curiosity and joy aren’t extras for me… they are a part of how I live.
​
My bottom line as your practitioner:
I don’t believe you are broken.
I believe you are wise.
And I believe healing is possible.
I’m honored you’re here and I’d love to support you.
