if you feel bloated almost every day…
it’s not just “what you ate”
for a lot of women, the belly stays tight because the body is stuck in a low-level stress response
when your nervous system is overwhelmed, your body subtly contracts and protects
→ digestion slows
→ the abdomen tightens
→ you feel full, heavy, or uncomfortable
this is why temporary fixes don’t last
long-term healing comes from:
– regulating the nervous system
– teaching the body to soften (self-massage)
– and deeper in-person work to release what’s been held there
your body isn’t working against you
it’s trying to protect you
tell me… does your belly feel soft or tight?
