Manual therapy and pelvic bodywork are not “massage” treatments. You can expect different results. Here’s what current clients are saying about Anna’s work.

Manual Therapy

“My new patient appointment at Burnett Bodywork was well worth waiting for! At age 56, I’ve seen bodyworkers of all disciplines for nearly 4 decades of musculoskeletal pain and limited function. My appointment with Anna was a completely new experience! I had minimal symptoms the day of my appointment, so wasn’t sure how I’d perceive “benefit” from her treatment. Afterwards I felt an unusual sense of deep well-being. The next day I surprised myself by spontaneously rising from a nearly-full-squat, something I haven’t been able to do in years! 3.5 weeks later I can still do a squat pain free. I feel a new sense of energy and confidence in my body. My chronic fear of losing function has subsided. So grateful to now have Anna on my team.” – BW

“I came to see Anna with chronic pain in my shoulder that started during Basic Training and has been completely debilitating at times. I honestly didn’t think it would be possible to get relief, but after one manual therapy treatment, I am pain free for the first time in twenty years.” – M

“I have been experiencing low back and SI joint pain for years. I have been to so many therapists from countless different modalities of healing. All of them helped a little in their own way but never really got rid of the pain. After this one session from Anna I got off the table and had no pain in my low back or SI joint. It has been three days since the treatment and still no pain. I am so ecstatic! She was able to get to the root of the problem in ways that no one ever has. I am so grateful!” – J

“It’s hard to take care of myself as a toddler mom. I’m breastfeeding and bed sharing so my time and body aren’t my own 23 hours of the day. While I work on clawing back bits of my personal autonomy and setting gentle but firm boundaries with kiddo, Anna comes in with some expert bodywork to help me feel more comfortable with the goofy sleeping positions I end up in when the toddler nurses all night. It’s so nice to be comfortable in my body when there’s so much that’s not comfortable about life right now. – S

“I was able to experience immediate relief with treatment. I’ve had chronic pain issues. After treatment if I experience a flair up I can get relief quickly. This has been a huge improvement!” – A.

“Thank you for seeing me. I appreciate your attention and care. Treatment is not easy for me because I struggle with admitting to and speaking about my chronic pain and you make it so easy to share. I don’t trust my body the way I wish I could, but you are helping me tune in to what is happening all over and throughout my physical body and I believe that this attention is helping me restore better function in areas that have always hurt. I feel hopeful that progress is possible and that is amazing to me.” – A.

Pelvic Bodywork

“In 25 years of endometriosis care, this was the single most compassionate and empathetic health visit I’ve ever experienced. I am truly grateful for your incredible energy of knowledge, care, and insight. I am eager to learn more, and to benefit from your expertise. Thank you so much for making me feel truly heard and seen as a patient, and for providing an ethos of empowering the individual to connect with themselves as we cherish all that our bodies do for us as humans. I’m extremely grateful for the care I received yesterday and I will definitely return for more treatment and skill-building.” – A

“I have been experiencing low back and S/I joint pain for years. I have been to so many therapists from countless different modalities of healing. All of them helped a little in their own way but never really got rid of the pain. After this one session from Anna I got off the table and had no pain in my low back or S/I joint. It has been three days since the treatment and still no pain. I am so ecstatic! She was able to get to the root of the problem in ways that no one ever has. I am so grateful!” – J.

“Best experience ever! Anna is such an amazing person and makes you feel comfortable right away. I went in with an open mind not really sure what I was getting myself into and I am so glad I did. Anna takes the time to educate you on the why things happen and listens to all your concerns. I have benefitted in so many ways. The best outcome, for the first time I feel empowered to advocate for my own pelvic health and have a better awareness of my body’s needs. I wish I found Anna years ago.” – A.

“I’ve worked with Anna before, although this was my first integrative pelvic bodywork session. I had no expectations and was moved by the deep physical and emotional response and release. Day three after treatment: still processing with heightened awareness of my pelvic floor and entire body.” – M.

“My experience with Anna was deep and profound. I felt held in a safe space where I could share my feelings and concerns without judgement. She took the time needed to explain the process and I felt like we were working together toward healing for my body.” – A.

“I deeply appreciate the opportunity to work with you. I have a different understanding of my anatomy than before and a deeper connection to my body. I have noticed sleeping has been hard, lots of stuff seems to move through me at night. Some really intense dreams too. My pelvis feels emotionally tender when I sense into it. And I think that is part of the process. Thank you again so much, you are a pro, and a bodywork badass. You talking through anatomy both before and during table time really allowed for the normalization of the pelvis and the work we did together. Thank you for that. That alone felt incredibly healing.” – A.

“After the birth of my first child, I was unable to have intercourse due to extreme pelvic tension and pain. I couldn’t lift or carry my baby without pain and had use a donut cushion to ease the pain of sitting on my tailbone, which was injured in childbirth. After 8 months of pelvic floor physical therapy, with no improvement, I lost faith that anyone could help me. I worried about having future kids, and if I would ever be able to have intercourse again. It was a very dark time for me. That’s when I found Anna. “I was surprised that my treatment wasn’t painful and I was able to truly relax. In session, we both felt my tailbone shift and my pelvic floor let go of the tension it was holding. After only one appointment, I was able to stand up straight and sit on the bench with zero pain. I went home and had sex that night for the first time in a year! “I was beaming with joy. I was unspeakably relieved be able to physically relax and enjoy moving through life again: carrying my child, being intimate with my beloved, and recovering from childbirth. “In my second and third appointments with Anna, we worked on some remaining pelvic floor tension and my scar tissue from childbirth. I could actually feel my scar tissue soften, section by section. That was really amazing to experience. “I’m grateful for Anna’s intuition and treatment approach. I am no longer having any pain with intercourse and am now carrying my second baby without any fear of birthing again. I moved away from Oregon, but I would not hesitate to fly back to Anna next time I need a treatment.” – L
