Angelica Mikulek
I am a health & wellness educator, advocating strongly for natural solutions and lifestyle medicine. For over 20 years I struggled with back pain, degenerative disk disease, scoliosis, and neuropathy. While numerous specialists and physiotherapy visits initially helped, I knew I needed something more sustainable that I could do on my own. After years of research, my own trials and learnings I managed to take control of my body and understand its needs. This motivated me to continue education and through personal transformation and a desire to help others, Angelica’s Method was born. Its objective is to help clients reduce chronic back and joint pain, avoid unnecessary surgeries, opioid use, reduce nerve damage, flare ups and the fear of pain while exercising. I know how you may be feeling, maybe the tools in my tool box can help you. In my Pilates studio I work with clients one-on-one and I teach small groups online. During the year I occasionally organize zoom workshops for clients who like to learn more on meditation and mindfulness, how to keep fascia and pelvic floor healthy, have better sleep, lose excess weight, as well as maintaining good posture at work, home, gym and while sleeping. One size does not fit all. Based on the initial pain and body assessments I use tools and techniques (Bemer, restorative positions, trigger points, foam roller, etc.) to treat the pain first, followed by recommending a personalized plan, and genuinely supporting you on your journey to recovery.
