“Dena's class made it a lot less scary to check-in with my body because it gave me the skills to know I would be able to figure out ways to move that were safe for me. I didn't realize how critical body awareness was until I utilized these skills out in the world and was rewarded by being able to do a physical activity I haven't done since my pain started five years ago.”
