Meet Ceci Lester…
If you’ve been living with chronic pain and it feels like you’ve already tried everything, I truly get it.
In my 20s, I was in a car accident that left me in pain for years. That experience sent me on a long journey to heal myself — through manual therapy, physical therapy, yoga therapy, breathwork, and a lot of trial and error. Now, in my 60s, I live a very active, full life, and I’ve gained the tools to help others find that same relief.
When medication, physical therapy, or surgery works — wonderful. But if those approaches haven’t given you the relief you need, that’s where my work may help.
I bring over 30 years of experience in physical rehabilitation, manual therapy, and yoga therapy, and I use an integrative, whole-person approach to help people ease chronic pain. With a deep understanding of anatomy, movement, and the nervous system, I blend the precision of Western physical therapy with the restorative intelligence of yoga and breathwork.
Sometimes results happen quickly — like Jim, who had suffered with neck and shoulder pain for a year. After one treatment, he felt about 70% better. That doesn’t happen every time, but what does happen is this: we’ll know very quickly whether I’m the right fit to help you. And if not, I have a trusted network of excellent practitioners I can refer you to.
My sessions are gentle, intuitive, and evidence-informed. I help clients move with less pain, breathe more easily, and finally feel at home in their bodies again.
I’m a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant, a Licensed Massage Therapist, and a Certified Yoga Therapist — and I’ve spent decades weaving together the best of each field to support lasting mobility, balance, and ease.
If you’re ready to explore a different way forward, I’m here when you’re ready.

“Ceci was indispensable to my recovery from a severe fracture of my upper arm, which required months of limited mobility before I was released into her capable hands for PT. She used a wide range of modalities to help me regain strength and mobility and gave me relief from pain at each session.
My surgeon told me I achieved the greatest recovery in range of motion for the severity of my injury that she has ever seen — I attribute much of this to my work with Ceci.”
— Beth, Physical Therapy Patient
“Working with Ceci has been such a gift. At a time when I was in intense pain and struggling with limited movement, her presence and care brought me so much relief and hope. She took the time to truly understand what my body needed, crafting gentle yet powerful exercises that helped me regain strength and mobility.
What touched me most was her compassion and ongoing support. Even from afar, she continued to guide me with personalized videos and thoughtful check-ins. Ceci didn’t just help me heal — she helped me reconnect with myself.”
— Aldara, Yoga & Massage Therapy
