About Sticks & Stones / Viviana Ng

What can I do for you?
Do you ever feel like you need to stretch or workout but you are in too much pain to do so? Or maybe you are tired and would rather just stay in bed. Well, I have good news for you because you can! My solution to pain, tiredness, anxiety, trauma and grief is to listen to your body.

Over the past 4 years I had gone through the exact same feeling and was not sure where to start and what to do. I found a way to heal my mind and body as naturally as I could by combining my physiotherapy exercises with somatic yoga and pilates. I have since then changed my 15 year career in the grueling culinary industry to become a person who listens to their body.

I am now a Certified Somatics, Pilates and Trauma Informed Yoga Practitioner. How else can I help you?
