Joanna Kahn: Physical Therapy, Yoga
Joanna emphasizes a personalized approach with hands on manual treatments, postural / movement investigation, strategic strengthening and patient empowerment (via educating you about your body specifically). Joanna is passionate about women's health, especially since she became pregnant and saw the great impact her knowledge had on creating a comfortable, movement rich and pain free pregnancy. Joanna was astounded by the inaccurate recommendations of pre/postnatal physical activity available to the public, a lack of follow through on postnatal care and support, in addition to guidelines mostly relating to what one CAN'T do during pregnancy. From this, she dreamt up MAHPP and focuses on what you CAN do during pregnancy and recovery. Joanna has also combined her love of yoga, orthopedics and women's health as a pre/postnatal yoga instructor.

Kyra Wong: Postural Specialist
Kyra Wong is a self-described body dork. After completing a degree in Health Science at University California Santa Barbara (UCSB) Kyra worked with athletes doing massage therapy and personal training. After years as a competitive snowboarder, and former gymnast, her own back pain and hip pain became unbearable and lead her to Egoscue®, a posture therapy method in San Diego, CA. After experiencing unmatched results, she spent the next two years studying and working with clients under Pete Egoscue, at Egoscue® Headquarters.
Fifteen years later, she finds herself still using Pete Egoscue’s work as the foundation for helping people live a Pain Free life. In her quest for knowledge, she has added certifications in Yoga; and, she has been influenced by many other body-based teachers. Most recently, Kyra has become the proud mother of two young boys. Naturally, her own pregnancies and births became her next area of attention. She used postural exercises daily throughout both pregnancies to stay fit and comfortable. Now, she is excited to offer new and expecting mothers corrective exercise techniques. This creates the best possible internal carriage position for the mother, the baby and birth, and offers support for postpartum recovery.
