About Renee


Renee Lindquist CHSE

Clinical Hanna Somatic Educator

Since 2015 Renee has helped people find freedom from pain with simple, easy to learn movements. Renee draws from a wide variety of Hanna Somatic Education, Yoga therapy and Clinical Nursing tools. She works on the premise that people need to understand the “why” of something and experience those benefits before they will choose to apply it on their own. Ultimately, Renee helps clients in chronic pain overcome fear with curiosity and education about their bodies. Renee gives them tools to understand and release their pain. As clients begin to replace fear with curiosity, their fear melts away and once again they learn to trust their bodies.
Renee teaches  Hanna Somatic Education Workshops, Classes and offers Private Hanna Somatic Sessions for pain management and increased mobility.

In her desire to help people in chronic pain find relief, Renee became certified in SomaYoga Therapy in 2015.
