Let's talk about preverbal trauma...preverbal trauma is stored entirely in the body. It doesn’t exist as a story we can tell it lives in the nervous system..in our muscles.. in our breath.. and in how we move through the world..

With permission, I want to share a client’s story keeping his identity anonymous. He came to me with severe body pain, anxiety, depression, and a constant sense of panic. As we worked with somatic integration, we uncovered something profound: as a baby, he was alone, hungry, and scared. When he cried, nobody came. When he reached out for comfort, there were no arms to hold him, no voice to soothe him, no presence to protect him. Imagine the tiny body, trembling, chest tight, desperate to be seen, heard, and safe and finding nothing but emptiness. Eventually this neglect led to his mother losing custody but that terror and that helplessness never left him and his body carried it for decades.
After just a couple of sessions, he called me to say he feels so much better. It’s as if his body finally let out a huge sigh of relief and the panic and anxiety that had been with him forever began to lift....
His story is a powerful reminder that our bodies hold memories. To truly heal, we often need to meet it where it actually exists...in the body. 💚

Lately, I’ve been noticing something that worries me deeply. It feels like many of us have lost the human component in our interactions with one another. We live in a world where people are quick to judge, quick to cast others out, and quick to dehumanize anyone who doesn’t look like them, think like them, live like them, or make as much money as they do.
I hear it all the time: “I struggled, so should they.” or, “They’re poor because they’re lazy.” or, “The world would be better off without (insert group name here).” And in that thinking, somehow, we justify hatred, exclusion, and cruelty. But suffering is not a currency. Pain does not need to be repaid.
When we strip someone of their humanity whether because of their race, their beliefs, their circumstances, or their income whatever the case may be we erode our own. We lose empathy, compassion, and connection those are the very things that make us human. The irony is that many of us cling to these judgments thinking they protect us, when really, they isolate us, harden us, and make life lonelier than it has to be.
What if, instead, we chose to see each other fully? To offer curiosity instead of judgment, understanding instead of hate, and help instead of scorn? That doesn’t mean excusing harm or wrongdoing. It means refusing to make cruelty a habit of the heart. It means reclaiming our shared humanity. Because at the end of the day, everyone is fighting battles we don’t see. And the world doesn’t need more judgment, more division, more cruelty. It needs people willing to remember that we are all simply human and that human worth isn’t conditional. 💚

Daylight savings can seem small, but our nervous systems feel these shifts deeply. When the light changes, our circadian rhythm, hormones, and even digestion respond. If you notice fatigue, mood changes, or restlessness this week it's just that your body is simply recalibrating to a new rhythm.

Go gently this week.
Step outside for some natural light.
Let your body set the pace.
Remember, every part of you is doing its best to adjust. 💚

A long time ago, people lived very close to nature. They had to watch the animals to know how to survive when to hunt, when to move, when to prepare for winter. Over time, they started to notice something deeper they learned animals weren’t just surviving, they were teaching.

They saw the eagle flying high above the earth and learned about seeing the bigger picture. They saw the wolf caring for its pack and learned about family and loyalty. They saw the snake shedding its skin and understood the in order to grow you must shed what no longer serves you and many other lessons from the animal messengers. These lessons became what many native cultures call animal medicine. (It’s not medicine like pills or herbs) it’s medicine for the spirit. It’s the wisdom that each animal carries and shares with us.
That’s why, in these traditions, when an animal crosses your path it’s believed to be more than coincidence. It’s seen as a message, a reminder, or a lesson meant just for you.

So the next time an animal catches your attention, pause and ask yourself...What is it be trying to show me? 💚

Happy National Cat Day!

Did you know that your cat’s purr isn’t just cute it’s actually good for you?
Research shows that the vibrations from a cat’s purr can help calm your nervous system, reduce stress, and even support healing in your body. Those gentle hums can lower your heart rate, ease tension, and create a sense of safety and comfort like a tiny, furry therapist right in your lap.

Let’s celebrate our feline friends today by sharing a picture of your cat and honoring the way they quietly nurture us every day. I know my world would be a much darker place without having my cats there to snuggle. 💚

This time of year can be especially tough for those of us with compromised immune systems. I just wanted to gently remind everyone that if you’re feeling unwell or under the weather, please reach out to reschedule your appointment.
Honestly if you’re really not feeling up to it, don’t worry about rescheduling right away just take the time you need to rest and recover, and we’ll find a time to get you back in when you’re feeling better.

Thank you so much for your understanding 💚

Most of us go through our days with cortisol levels higher than our bodies were designed for. Cortisol is our stress hormone, and in small doses, it’s helpful and it gives us energy, keeps us alert, and helps us respond to challenges. But when it stays high day after day, it starts to work against us. It can make it hard to sleep at night, leave us feeling drained during the day, trigger cravings, affect our mood, and even make it harder to think clearly.
