Nikki Costello created MyWholeBody Health and Fitness Coaching as a result of her own personal quest to be healthy and pain free again. After 20 years of competitive gymnastics, dance, running and cheerleading at the national level, she was plagued with severe pain and told she needed to stop doing most of what she loved. Even yoga hurt.

She was prescribed toxic pain medications and told she would need to invest 1,000’s of dollars into various therapies in order to maybe find something resembling normal. The problem was that she was only 26. Instinctively, she knew there was another way. Thus the exploration began.

Since then, Nikki has committed her life and learning to understanding what it takes to achieve resilience and longevity in these human bodies. She is a walker of the talk and does not ask her clients to do anything she has not tested.

She spent 8 years working in a physical therapy clinic with highly sought after Dr. Mark Barnes, fascia and spine expert. She has spent the last 3 years studying with the world renowned Dr. Guy Voyer, osteopath and creator of the ELDOA Method which is currently used by professional athletes like Tiger Woods and Stephen Curry for their own health and wellness. She is a Holistic Lifestyle Coach through the CHEK institute, a trained Pilates Instructor through STOTT Pilates and a NESTA Certified Personal Trainer. She has also interned extensively with chiropractors, naturopaths and acupuncturists.

EP25: Esther Gokhale On Primal Posture And Back Pain Relief

EP25: Esther Gokhale On Primal Posture And Back Pain Relief

Esther Gokhale has been involved in integrative therapies all her life. Her early interest in healing led her to study biochemistry at Harvard and Princeton and, later, acupuncture at the San Francisco School of Oriental Medicine.

After experiencing crippling back pain after her first pregnancy and after an unsuccessful back surgery she later developed the Gokhale Method, a unique, systematic approach to help people find their bodies’ way back to pain-free living.  

We talk about how we've forgotten our genetic heritage as it relates to posture and back health. How our social norms and poorly designed furniture have dictated our postural norms and how we can change that by revisiting our ancestral heritage and way of life. Esther also shares with us her steps to back pain relief and how you can incorporate it in your everyday life.
