Hey there, I'm Solana.

I am a somatic educator and dance artist based out of Calgary, Alberta. I teach brain-based rehabilitative methods for overcoming chronic muscle and joint pain. These methods have much to teach us about the interplay between posture and pain.

Pain Relief is Possible

I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.

If you’ve been struggling with persistent muscle and joint pain for months—pain that holds you back from doing what you love—you're not alone. It’s bewildering and frustrating when traditional treatments like physio, chiropractic, or massage, offer only temporary relief, and you’re left feeling stuck in an endless cycle of appointments that doesn’t give you the clarity you seek or the lasting results you need.

If you’re here, then you’re looking for something that provides you with that 'missing link' information that helps you understand the root cause of your pain and empowers you with the knowledge and tools to say goodbye to your chronic muscle and joint pain for good.

If you’re ready to take a proactive approach and explore a method that puts you back in control of your own healing—without relying on painkillers, surgery, or gadgets—you’re in the right place. I’m here to guide you through the transformative work of neuromuscular education, so you can finally experience the relief and freedom you deserve.

My Unique Approach

& The Importance of "Why"

WHY am I in pain? Why does it keep returning? What is causing this pain to be so persistent?

Asking the right questions is the key to finding a solution.

A good solution provides you with good answers. REAL answers that provide ‘missing link’ information about the sources of your pain, inspire change, and offer hope for a better future.

That is what I do for my students.

You are not just a body that is helpless to help itself.

You are a whole person with thoughts, perceptions, motivations, and first-hand experiences of what it is to be YOU.

You should be factored into the equation.

Understanding and awareness around the sources of your pain, and clarity on what it is you can do to change your situation; these things change your body on a physical level, and massively increase the chances of a successful outcome.

There are no “trade secrets” in my approach. It’s all available to you, because awareness is a powerful, PHYSICAL agent for change.

That is why I ‘teach’ you as a student, rather than ‘treat’ you as a patient. You don’t need someone to “fix” you. You simply need to be taught, slowly and gently, how to unwind, become expansive, and effortless in your movements. To do this, I combine pandiculation, proprioceptive exercises, and coaching/discussion to get you lasting relief in your whole body.

This process of learning is NOT passive and it’s NOT a quick fix. As I’m sure you know, the quick fix is usually not the permanent fix. It takes commitment and time to re-educate your sensory-motor system.

And because you’re this living, thinking, self-regulating person, and all your systems and functions are deeply interconnected, the 'wholeness of you' factors into HOW I teach you to get free from pain.

A dysfunctional chronic tension pattern never occurs in just one isolated area, even if pain is only present in one place. It is a whole body pattern every. single. time. And I teach you accordingly, with whole body patterns of movement.

This process is not passive, but it is gentle, and I can assure you that as hard as you’re working to create change for yourself, I’ll be with you every step of the way, working my butt off to support and guide you.
