You weren’t born “too sensitive.”
 
You became highly attuned because your environment required it.
 
You learned to read emotional shifts.
To anticipate reactions.
To sense when something wasn’t safe.
 
For many people, this wasn’t a personality trait.
 
It was protection.
 
When you couldn’t fully express fear, sadness, anger, or grief,
your body stored it.
 
Not as memories.
As tension.
As hyper-awareness.
As emotional overload.
 
This is how “trapped emotions” form.
 
Unfinished experiences
held in the nervous system.
 
Over time, this can feel like:
 
• Anxiety
• Emotional fatigue
• People-pleasing
• Overthinking
• Chronic tension
• Feeling “too much”
 
Somatic work helps your body do what it couldn’t do then:
 
Feel safely.
Release gradually.
Integrate fully.
 
You don’t need to become less sensitive.
 
You need support to process what you’ve been carrying.
 
Sensitivity + regulation = intuition.
Sensitivity + safety = power.
 
Have you ever felt this in your body?

Let’s get walking

If you have access to a computer or phone you already know all the amazing benefits of walking.

You already know that walking
1) REDUCES STRESS.
2) HELPS WITH WEIGHT.
3) SAVES MONEY.
4) CONNECTS YOU.
5) LOWERS BLOOD PRESSURE.
6) INCREASES ENERGY LEVELS.
7) IMPROVES SLEEP.

And oh so much more.

But did you know that walking can help you release trauma in your body!! Walking can influence your nervous system in a variety of ways depending on how, when, where, what, whom, and why!

Unfortunately, many of us take it for granted. But let me assure you if you want to heal your body inside and out. Walking more is something you need to (re)consider.

Whose up for a walk with me?

I invite you to get up and walk today 👣 even if its around your office chair, couch or outside.

If it feels supportive, opening the DRAIN can be a gentle place to start.

When people shut down, lose motivation, or feel stuck, they’re often told they’re lazy, unmotivated, or “not trying hard enough.”

But from a nervous system perspective, something very different is happening.

This is called the freeze response.

Freeze is what happens when fight feels too risky and flight feels impossible.

When your system doesn’t see a safe way to escape or protect itself, it chooses conservation.

It slows you down.
It lowers your energy.
It reduces your emotional range.
It narrows your focus.

Not because you’re weak.

Because your body is trying to survive.

In freeze, your nervous system is saying:
“I don’t have enough resources to keep going like this.”

So it pulls inward.

This can look like:
• Procrastination
• Brain fog
• Fatigue
• Emotional numbness
• Feeling disconnected
• Wanting to hide

None of this is a moral failure.

It’s a biological response to overwhelm.

And that’s why pressure doesn’t work.

More discipline doesn’t regulate a stressed system.
More self-criticism doesn’t create safety.
More pushing doesn’t restore energy.

What helps is gentle activation.

Tiny movement.
Safe connection.
Predictable routines.
Compassionate self-talk.
Regulated relationships.

These send your body a different message:
“You’re not alone.
You’re not in danger.
You don’t have to shut down.”

Over time, your energy returns.
Not through force.
Through safety.

If this resonates, you’re not broken.
You’re adaptive.

And you deserve support, not shame.

What does freeze look like for you?

Trauma informed movement

Trauma-Informed Movement is an approach in which movement coaches have an understanding of how trauma impacts the brain, nervous system, movement, and overall whole body.

The goal of the trauma-informed movement is NOT to diagnose or cure it. Instead, it is a targeted practice designed to assist movement coaches to enhance the following:

❤️‍🩹Deregulated the nervous system
❤️‍🩹Calm stress markers
❤️‍🩹Creates more balance in life
❤️‍🩹Releases trauma stuck in the body
❤️‍🩹Reduce fight or flight reactions in the body
❤️‍🩹Boost energy levels
❤️‍🩹Rebuild body awarness
❤️‍🩹Create safe choices for their your body

Trauma-informed movement emphasizes self-regulation tools and techniques to return people to an optimal window of tolerance and build flexibility in their stress response.

If rest makes you anxious, it’s rarely because you “can’t slow down.”

It’s usually because your nervous system learned, early on, that quiet wasn’t safe.

Maybe rest meant being judged.
Maybe it meant being alone with big emotions.
Maybe it meant being vulnerable in an unpredictable environment.

So your body adapted.

It stayed alert.
It stayed productive.
It stayed ready.

Not because you’re broken.
Because you’re intelligent.

Your nervous system chose survival.

Now, when life gets quiet, your body doesn’t interpret it as peace.
It interprets it as potential danger.

That’s why slowing down can feel uncomfortable.
Restless.
Even scary.

Healing isn’t about forcing yourself to relax.

It’s about giving your body new evidence.

Evidence that pause can be safe.
That stillness doesn’t lead to harm.
That you’re supported now.

This happens slowly.
Through repetition.
Through gentle movement.
Through regulated relationships.
Through self-compassion.

If this resonates, you’re not alone.
So many people are relearning safety in their bodies.

What does rest feel like for you right now: comforting, uncomfortable, or confusing?

the world has felt like a lot lately, I want you to know this first: you’re not imagining it, and you’re not failing at life.

When things feel uncertain or overwhelming, your body goes into protection mode. That tight chest. The shallow breathing. The constant sense of being “on.” That’s your nervous system trying to keep you safe in a world that doesn’t always feel steady.

So if you’ve been telling yourself to “just calm down” or wondering why you can’t relax, you’re not broken. Your body is responding to what it’s noticing around you.

Here’s the part most people don’t tell you: safety doesn’t start in your thoughts. It starts in your body.

You don’t need to feel calm all the time. You don’t need to fix everything or figure it all out. You just need enough steadiness to stay here. Enough support to move through your day without completely draining yourself.

One of the simplest ways to create that steadiness is through movement. Not intense workouts. Not pushing harder. Just gentle, intentional movement that reminds your body it’s here, it’s supported, and it can move at its own pace.

A stretch. A walk. Swaying side to side. Shaking out your hands. Even standing up and changing positions counts.

Movement gives your nervous system something real to focus on. It helps release tension without needing words. And over time, it builds a sense of safety you can come back to when everything else feels loud.

Not to fix yourself.
Just to support yourself.

Save this for the days you need a softer place to land

Vibration Therapy

In the 1960s, astronauts began using whole body vibration platforms to maintain bone density and muscle mass while in space. Positive results were evident and NASA continues to rely on vibration therapy to this day.

Vibration therapy or treatment provides a multitude of benefits from increasing range of motion to relieving muscle pain, stiffness and soreness. It also improves circulation and blood flow.

Using vibration techniques to warm up and cool down can prime your body for a tough workout and help return oxygen to your muscles afterward — which further aids in recovery.

Furthermore, here are 4 key reasons you should consider using vibration therapy:
1. Fascia (myo-fascia) : Adding vibration stimulates the myo-fasica much faster and more thoroughly than a static tool like a foam roller. The vibration cues the nervous system via the fascia and opens up space and pathways for the fluid to move.

2. Fluid: Vibration + Pressure creates tissue compression and tissue friction. Friction causes the tissue to heat up and warm the lymphatic fluid. This has a lubricating effect on the body.

3. Muscles: The vibration combined with pressure relaxes the muscle.

4. CNS (Central Nervous System): By activating the nervous system, we are improving communication throughout your body.

I have been using recovery tools for many years now and I can say without a doubt vibration therapy has amazing benefits and I encourage you to look into it further if you want to enhance your movement practice.
