Hi, I'm Lore Goldstein

Yoga Teacher + Holistic Psychotherapist + Wellness Educator + Muscle Activation Practitioner

Physical pain can be caused by a few different things:

  1. Structural issues – maybe you have herniated disks, a fractured knee, or rotator cuff injury.

  2. Major muscles are not firing/working properly – so other smaller muscles in your body are working overtime to compensate.

  3. Trauma – our body stores imprints from emotionally difficult experiences, and even though the event is over, our body still remembers.

(Btw…trying to become more flexible and “stretch” out tight muscles is NOT the solution! So please take a break and come talk to me.)

I use my professional experience as a mental health clinician, certified yoga teacher, and muscle activation practitioner to support people in their journey to strengthening their bodies so they can be pain-free, as well as releasing any unhelpful emotional and mental energy for greater peace, joy, freedom, and fulfillment in life.

While I infuse humor in my workshops and trainings, I am very well-versed in the sensitivities and impact of trauma in people's overall functioning which allows me to provide a safe environment for participants to explore their level of self-awareness and emotional needs.

On a side note, I am a full blown Alchemist mushed with the gift of gab, writing, reading energy, and teaching. This means I am an idea generating machine, get all kinds of "downloads" from the Universe to share, can draft an entire blog post while getting out of the shower and putting on my underwear, and can "look up" (so to say) the areas of life where people are misaligned to their life’s purpose. I know, right??

How it all began...

My yoga journey started back in 2011 when I was living and working in a remote Native Yupik village, in a part of Alaska that no person in their right mind goes.

My husband (at the time) and I ended up there after years of burn-out and layoffs. We were both seeking something different. (Boy, did we get it!)

I was also searching for ways to naturally heal my body from PCOS, so I figured there was no better time to change my diet and habits than while I was living in the middle of nowhere, in below freezing temps, with no restaurants or distractions.

It was here I that found yoga and meditation (thanks to Rodney Yee and his mountain of DVDs), started reflecting on my life's purpose, and began dabbling with Tarot and EFT. I also realized that I had a level of confidence and capability that I never thought I had as life in the frozen tundra, living and working with a culture that resented "white people", was not easy. It was definitely a lesson on what it was like to be on the other side, experiencing cultural and ethnic racism.

As my body started to heal and I began to see myself in a whole new light, I then started questioning what I was doing and why. When I returned to Florida after my Alaskan adventure, I knew I had to make some drastic changes in order to feel more fulfilled in my career and connected in my relationships. The change was hard and scary. But I knew if I stayed where I was, the constant tension and anxiety I was experiencing would morph into something a whole lot worse.

I therefore quit my conventional psychotherapy practice, packed up only my essential belongings, moved out of my house, and amicably parted ways with my ex.

After continuing my wellness journey to relieve myself of sciatica and knee pain, I find myself here today teaching yoga, nervous system reset classes, and pain-relief interventions in a whole new way to groups and individuals.

I currently live with my soulmate and 3 crazy cats who should really be named Hungry, Clumsy, and Holy Terror.

My Super Professional Bio

(if you still care…)

Lore Goldstein, LMHC, M.Ed., M.S., is a holistic psychotherapist, "reader of energy", yoga and meditation teacher, muscle activation practitioner, believer in the healing forces of nature, speaker, adventurer, and hopeless fan of House Hunters International and Hallmark channel movies.

Lore was first recognized and sought out in the psychotherapy field for her transformational work with teenagers who were experiencing audio and visual hallucinations, and somatic pain due to trauma.

While certainly not conventional, she found that the use of crystals, Tarot cards, breath work, movement, and visualization helped the young adults work through emotional distress that was creating their symptoms. It was proof that an alternative approach worked, and the metaphysical can work in tandem with practical, science-based solutions.

Lore’s eclectic training and experiences throughout the years have made her a unique, go-to contributor on topics such as stress, anxiety, trauma, yoga and movement for pain relief, and creating healthy habits that actually stick.

Lore is passionate about animal welfare, volunteers one day a week at her local animal shelter, and donates a percentage of her proceeds to animal rescue efforts.
