Are You Ready to Reclaim an Active Life?
It took me almost 30 years to piece together the complete toolbox I needed to reclaim an active life with chronic back pain.
As a pain-focused Pilates instructor I have helped dozens of clients with chronic pain return to activities they love long after they had lost hope.
Now, it's your turn!
I will be opening up less than 10 spots in 2024 for my Meant to Move Coaching Program, which includes twice weekly 1:1 coaching sessions and a customized movement program.

About DK
Hi! I am Dana Karen. Most people call me DK.
I help people with chronic pain get moving who have felt stigmatized or otherwise unseen in typical health and wellness spaces.
I am a comprehensively certified Pilates instructor through the National Pilates Certification Program. I use the full range of Pilates equipment to help my clients improve strength, mobility, and well-being in a weight-neutral environment. I'm also trained in pain reprocessing therapy through the Pain Psychology Center, which is part of my movement-for-pain coaching approach.
Having begun my own journey with chronic back pain as a young teen, I have been exploring ways to help myself and others regain joy of movement for decades. I left a 20-year corporate career in health and public service after twenty years when I realized that the anxiety of chasing after arbitrary professional milestones wasn't serving me or my body. I later launched Movement Remedies, a chronic pain–focused Pilates studio in Boston, Massachusetts.
You’re Meant to Move: A Guide to Conquering Chronic Pain, Increasing Stress Resilience, and Reclaiming an Active Life, is my first book, and it hit the Amazon bestseller list for chronic pain and pain management the week it released in December 2023.
