Mindfulness-Based Pain Relief Elaine Mele, PT, DPT, PYT
Elaine has more than 20 years of experience as a physical therapist and 15+ years in the yoga business. She holds a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Arcadia University and a Professional Yoga Therapy Certificate from PYTI. During her career, Elaine has had the opportunity to work with all types of populations, from infants through geriatrics, athletes and professional musicians to novices. She has found her niche blending the science of physical therapy with the wellness (although, still science!) aspects of yoga therapeutics to deliver personalized treatment and consultation that personally fits into her clients’ lives. Her work with aging adults and children with disabilities has enabled her to help teach caregivers how to best take care of the ones they love while also taking care of themselves. Education and life balance is a life long pursuit so Elaine spends a lot of her non-work time exploring many interests including travel, time with family and friends, hiking, paddle-boarding, a variety of movement classes and sometimes just simply relaxing with a good book and a cup of tea!

I am a Functional Health Coach based in Hastings, East Sussex. For the last 20 years, I have been on a journey of health and healing. Since my twenties, I have recovered from chronic back pain, cancer, fertility treatment and a thyroid disorder. I used sleep, physical movement, nutrition and stress management practices to support me during through these stressful times.
This journey developed into a passion for self-education and self-practice in health and wellness. Inevitably, I became inspired to share my experiences with others, so that they too can have improved health. So I left my career in corporate law and retrained as a yoga teacher and an ADAPT Certified Functional Health Coach.
I now work online coaching all kinds of people, helping them to achieve their health and lifestyle goals. I love seeing my clients become healthy, happy and resilient by creating simple daily changes and tapping into the body’s amazing capacity to heal itself.
My passion is the management of persistent pain and the extent to which pain can be helped by good quality sleep, functional nutrition, physical movement, nervous system regulation and pain education. I believe in the body’s innate capacity to heal. Helping the body to heal requires an understanding of the key aspects of health and it requires taking charge of your own health. I love to help people in pain take charge of their health by improving their relationship with their bodies, sleeping better, eating better, feeling less stressed, suffering less from their pain, engaging in social connection and simply enjoying daily life.
There are so many different approaches to wellness and there is no one size fits all solution. I love to help each person analyse all the available information, then find the best options for that unique individual to explore. I strongly believe that so many people in pain could have a much better quality of life if they were able to make some changes to their diet and lifestyle. However, those changes can be so hard to make – I love to help people find their motivation to make those changes. Behaviour change is not easy at the beginning. A realistic approach is essential to making diet and lifestyle changes. I meet people where they are at and let them set the pace for change. The key is to make small, incremental improvements – that last.

A few years ago I had back pain with nerve symptoms down the leg. It was scary, I wasn’t able to complete my normal yoga practice, let alone sit for very long or drive. It was through the combination of physical therapy, yoga and massage, that I was able to heal and stay pain free. These technique have also helped me to heal from a cesarean, and a recent colon surgery. So now it is my mission to share this information with others so they can have more confidence and feel better in their bodies without pain, so they can enjoy the activities they love. Even if your MD doesn’t recommend PT after a surgery or injury I can guarantee investing in yourself now will help to prevent future issues down the road. And, even if your injury was many years ago you can still make progress now!

Amber started as a little girl massaging her grandmother’s feet and making up “treatments” for her arthritis. Growing up as a dancer, Amber experienced her own fair share of injuries, including a 5 year journey with chronic neck pain! For dancers, athletes, and all people, suffering an injury can be devastating from a physical and emotional standpoint. This is why I feel strongly about working with individuals to help them prevent and recover from injuries that can affect their livelihood and wellbeing. I am passionate about helping each patient return to the activities he or she loves, and empowering them to be in charge of their recovery through education, guidance, and coaching. I feel strongly about working with clients in a holistic manner, looking at all factors that may impact health such as sleep hygiene, stress management, nutrition and hydration, posture and ergonomics, exercise, and social engagement. I look forward to getting to know you as an individual and helping you thrive!

I have worked as a physical therapist since 1995. I work with people who have had orthopedic surgery, injuries, or are experiencing difficulty due to pain and/or movement problems. I love helping others function better, move better and feel better so that they can do what they want and need to do in their daily life including work, hobbies, sports, and recreation.
I help others through movement, therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, nutrition, sleep, stress management, pain education and more. I like to empower others, through knowledge and motivation, to make important lifestyle changes that will limit or prevent the need for pills, injections, or surgery.
Even after nearly 25 years as a therapist, I am still passionate about what I do and I take time every day to learn and become better at helping others.

I am thrilled to share my love of movement and wellness education with you. My first inclination towards a career in healthcare began as a junior in high school when I was working with a young man with special needs after sports practice two to three days per week. I was never as interested in my school work as I was in our visits! As an undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Go Badgers!), I remained actively involved in athletics as a member of the women’s ice hockey team and as a volunteer with the Adaptive Sports and Fitness program. During my third year of school, I was blessed with the opportunity to travel abroad to Spain to study at the Universidad de Sevilla. The experience changed my life and ultimately my course of study! I went on to complete my bachelors in Spanish and Latin American and Iberian Area Studies, which led me on a journey that included work with AmeriCorps as a community educator and citizenship counselor in Jersey City, New Jersey. I later completed graduate studies at Columbia University and Harvard University in Adult Language and Literacy Education with an emphasis in community health education.
After teaching for 10 years in the schools and with an adult community center in the Boston area, I realized that my passion for human movement and wellness was unfulfilled. I took pre-med courses at night and life brought me to the University of Vermont. While a full-time doctoral student of physical therapy, I worked as a learning specialist and academic coach with students at the Larner College of Medicine at UVM. I completed my Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2010.
I have since completed post-graduate training with experts from around the world in manual therapy, Postural Restoration, Pilates method, Osteoporosis management, neurodegenerative conditions, and Schroth Method for 3D scoliosis management with the Schroth-Barcelona Institute. I have my board specialty certification in geriatric physical therapy since 2015 and completed my certification in Functional Nutrition for Chronic Pain with the Integrative Pain Science Institute in July 2019.
Outside of work, I cherish my time with family, friends and furry critters. I enjoy running, cycling, and hiking local trails. When I am not romping around in nature, I am probably planning my next outdoor adventure!
