About Flora
After 14 years working with everyone from Olympic athletes to weekend warriors, Flora knows one thing for certain: your body is capable of so much more than you think – you just need the right guidance to unlock it.
Her approach is straightforward: she doesn't just treat your symptoms. She figures out why you're in pain. Is it your posture? An old injury that never healed properly? Muscle imbalances from your training? Flora digs deep, finds the real problem, and builds a plan with you to not only eliminate pain but make you stronger, more flexible, and more resilient than before.
No endless treatment cycles. No vague promises. Just: here's what's wrong, here's how we fix it, and here's how we keep it fixed.
"Movement isn't optional. It's the foundation of everything."
