Greetings!

I’m Pam Cammisa, a body-mind practitioner with a 32+ year background in physical therapy, bodywork, and wellness coaching. I blend hands-on manual techniques with nervous system regulation, somatic practices, and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-inspired dialogue to help you better understand the complexity and nuance of your system so you can respond in new ways. Basically, I help you decode the "language" of your body so you can stop reacting and start responding.

As a Gen X woman, I know the pressure of "doing it all." Somewhere along the way, many of us learned to ignore the signals and "suck it up, buttercup" even when we were wired, tired, and juggling all the things.

My career has taken me through trauma hospitals, nursing homes, and sports clinics, working with people in pain, injured, overwhelmed, frustrated, and everything in between. I’ve realized that treating symptoms alone is like painting over rust. Real change happens when we listen to the subtle language of sensation.

I learned this the hard way! Being naturally empathetic (and a self-confessed "anxious over-functioner")I used to be deeply affected by others’ suffering and would mentally get in the “sick bed” with my patients. Turns out, that’s not a great long-term strategy! The tools I share now are the ones I use daily to stay grounded and not take everyone else’s hurts home with me.

My approach is science-informed, practical, and collaborative. I’ll help you tune in, make sense of the noise, and build a toolkit for resilience with maybe even a little more moxie in your movement!

I have decades of CEUs too many to count, this is the highlight reel of my formal education.
