1. Refer, or point them my way
No paperwork needed. Your patient can reach out through my site, or you can introduce us by email at michelle [at] sagemovement [dot] co. Rack cards are available on request.
Healthcare Provider Partnerships
I work in the space between provider care and independent, long-term movement wellness. With 10+ years of experience and a foundation in functional anatomy, therapeutic yoga, and recovery modalities, I build individualized exercise and movement programs for clients who've been cleared for exercise after surgery or injury, or who are managing a chronic condition.
I maintain SOAP note documentation for every client and collaborate directly with referring providers on contraindications, movement goals, and progression, so your patients have continuity of care, not a gap, once they leave your office. And when something falls outside my scope, I refer back to you rather than guessing.
I've personally walked through injury and major surgery, and what got me back to quality movement was a consistent, balanced yoga practice, mindful strength training, and close collaboration with my own providers. That's the same approach I bring to every patient you refer.

Advanced training through Yoga Medicine's 500-hour curriculum includes orthopedic conditions, sacroiliac dysfunction, nervous system support, and female health, along with cadaver dissection lab study.
Continuity, in practice
I've taught movement since 2013. From 2018 to 2024, my practice operated inside a Redmond physical therapy clinic, where more than ten physical therapists referred patients to me after discharge and, at times, I coordinated directly with patients' physicians. Many of my clients have come to me by provider referral.
How referrals work
2. Intake and clearance
My intake covers health history, surgical history, and current care. I confirm exercise clearance and note any precautions or contraindications you flag before we begin.
3. Continuity
I keep SOAP notes for every session. With your patient's consent, I send you brief progress updates, and anything outside my scope comes back to you.
Sessions are one on one and currently virtual, which keeps them accessible wherever your patients live.
For patients finishing care
If you're wrapping up physical therapy or another course of care and want support for what comes next, I can work with your provider if you'd like. With their approval and your consent, I coordinate your transition, build from the work you've already done, and keep your provider in the loop as you go. You don't need a formal referral to reach out.
Get startedI also offer workshops for healthcare and wellness teams on awareness-based movement, yoga, exercise and recovery.
What Clients Are Saying
“When something feels off — a mystery pain, an asymmetry — she knows how to work with it instead of around it.”
“She's able to modify any exercise to accommodate my many injuries and limitations in real time as they come up.”
