I am so excited to announce our new referral program with Laurel Van Matre at Yoga Garden! Laurel is a phenomenal instructor who I’ve been working both personally and professionally with for nearly a year. Likely this is not the first time you have heard me sing her praises as her style and approach to yoga fits seamlessly with the work we do at McFerson Chiropractic. If you are interested in learning more about our program let us know!

In Laurel’s words:

The days I see Erin McFerson are the best days on my mat. Finding a great chiropractor with a truly holistic approach is no small feat and I’m so thankful to have found her. After an appointment I find everything in my body moves with more fluidity and ease, keeping me grounded in my yoga practice and life outside of the studio. We both approach our practices in a similar and complementary way, starting with the understanding of the importance of foundation and maintaining healthy curves in the spine.
As a yoga student, teacher and trainer for 21+ years, I have made it my daily work to learn to practice in a way that gives us the physical benefits of exercise but also supports our muscles and bones as we grow and age. To understand the mechanics, or alignment of each pose in a way that helps us set a strong foundation in each pose and create strength in the muscles that support holding healthy curves in the spine as well as flexibility, relieving pain from misalignments such as; sciatica, bulging or ruptured discs, plantar fasciitis, sacral instability, low back pain, carpal tunnel, shoulder blade instability and tension headaches.
In my classes and private sessions, we move slowly and with intention through each pose in a sequence. We practice so we can be aware of how we are setting our foundation, or placing ourselves in the world, and creating healthy, strong bodies through engaging the muscles to support fluidity and flexibility in our spines.
As a client of McFerson Chiropractic you will receive a discounted rate of $75 per private session for your initial 1:1 practice.
