2025 brought me an option for providing MY BELOVED glp-1 meds & peptides to you.

2026 is bringing the true transformation to go with it.

To begin, I will only be able to work with 1 client at a time due to my bodywork schedule but I am certain that the program I am developing can create lasting change for you, on a deeper level than just the physical. The physical changes are literally the icing on the cake when you are fixing your life.

Sure, I believe GLP-1 medications are magical, and an option to be added to your journey, but I want to literally hold your hand while you change your mindset, your physical ability, your energy levels, your nervous system capacity and your LIFE. I want to sit with you in July, and COUNT THE WAYS that life has improved.

I don't think there are many options out there for someone who is READY to make these changes but needs not only accountability, but a true confidant, coach and mentor - and because I have walked this s**t out with my real life experience to going from a C-PTSD diagnosis that rendered me joy-less and incapacitated (at a time that should have been very happy!) in 2023, to UNRECOGNIZABLE & living again in 2026.. but I want there to be options, so I am offering one.

I know what it takes to heal the nervous system from a somatic, holistic, realistic approach and subsequently heal the systems in the body that are not functioning well due to the nervous system dysfunction.

It's all connected. It's all correctable. It's just so hard to do this alone.

If this resonates - maybe you are the one client I am looking to help from February - July.

Six month commitment to yourself, and to me.

July will be happier than ever, in 2026.

Let's get started....

Message me - if you have questions or feel like this is you.. I have options ready to go, or we can build a custom plan that works for your life.. but I intend to walk this out, ONE client at a time until I am sure I have enough of my own capacity to go around..

No seriously though... have you tried regulating your nervous system?

Everything, and I mean everything causing you distress, is related to the nervous system and no, bullying yourself won't help.

With a somatic approach and some kindness and patience with yourself - you can heal the nervous system and spend more time in the elusive "window of tolerance"

The most time in the window = the more opportunity you have to enjoy your life.

Don't wait until a breakdown to make the time to regulate.. either you choose a time or the body will assign you a very inconvenient one.. and the last thing we have time for is a grippy sock vacation because we refused to stop, breathe and sink back into our bodies, creating a safe place for us to live, in our heads.

2026 is the year to be Happier than Ever

If you’re connective tissue is faulty, it can result in nagging tightness that stretching is NOT the answer to.

Regulating the nervous system helps clients with chronic pain get through the day to day and the right massage therapist can be the difference between functional and fighting for your life.

"You look fine. You're just being lazy." 🛋️🛑

It is the word that cuts deeper than any diagnosis. You spend your day on the couch not because you want to, but because your battery is dead by 10 AM.

You aren't lazy. You are Biomechanically Inefficient.

The Science: Why standing makes you tired. 🔋 For a healthy person, standing up is "cheap." Their ligaments (like stiff ropes) do most of the work passively.

1. The Muscle Tax (Active vs. Passive): In EDS, your ligaments are like stretched-out rubber bands. They fail to provide "passive" stability.

The Consequence: Your muscles have to take over. You have to actively tense your core, leg, and neck muscles just to prevent your joints from slipping.

The Cost: While a healthy person is "resting" while standing, your body is engaged in chronic muscular activation. You are essentially "micro-exercising" all day just to fight gravity.

2. The Heart Rate Drain: If you have POTS, your heart rate might be 110+ bpm while standing still. Your body is pumping blood with the intensity of a workout, even if you haven't moved an inch.

3. The Brain Drain: Because your internal GPS (proprioception) is laggy, your brain has to manually coordinate every step to avoid tripping. This causes massive Cognitive Fatigue.

The Takeaway: Laziness is a choice to avoid work. Fatigue is the price you pay for stability. You aren't avoiding life; you are budgeting a smaller battery.

👇 Do you feel exhausted after "just" standing in line?

We ALL DO IT.

Snap on someone then feel terrible shame.

Let our impatience get the best of us and then feel guilty for not being perfect.

Give someone a hard time because WE ARE HAVING A HARD TIME.

Our kids do it to us all the time, and it makes sense because kids lack emotional regulation skills.

Buttttttt..... if were being honest, adults lack them too and until adults can figure it out, we continue a cycle of dysregulation in our families.. on and on... foreverrrrr.

So, maybe you are like me and were born into a s**tstorm of generational trauma, or maybe you had a great childhood but feel like you didn't learn what the freak I am even talking about...

Either way, it's up to us to break out of it, as much as we can, and be kinder to ourselves (and others) when we do not do a good job staying regulated.

What does this look like?

For me, it looks like having a breathwork practice so I can release tension from my body and mind with my own damn breath.

I sigh when I notice I am starting to hold tension, which turns into snippy behavior.

I take intentional deep breaths into my belly to help "put my brain back in my body." (anyone else disassociate all the time?)

I actually lay my ass down and meditate and breathe because it helps keep me out of the looney bin.

These things have been proven to help but your first instinct is "that won't work" because you either tried it once and your monkey brain ran free until you gave up too soon.

-OR- you are not willing to try something simple, effective and proven because you are stubborn and okay with the way you are.

I will challenge your thinking in this group, so please, buckle in.

Meditation, breathwork, mindfulness, touching the damn grass, fixing your sleep and not over extending yourself are all proven strategies for getting better with emotional regulation but many people refuse to make the space in their day for it and honestly, it's not cute.

I know we are all "busy" and I myself was too busy for this s**t at one point... until I had an earth shattering realization..

Wait for it....

YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM DOES NOT WAIT FOR YOU TO NOT BE BUSY ANYMORE TO CRASH OUT.

If you do not find strategies, make changes and find your zen, your nervous system will find a time to ruin your life with a fun and exciting mental breakdown and I guarantee it will not be convenient and you will not have time for it then either.

So might as well take the breaths, the walks in the sunshine and maybe even take a machete to your schedule to make a more sustainable pace of living.

It's made a huge difference for me - so much so that I am - for the first time in my adult life (aside from pregnancy) OFF my anxiety and depression meds.

Everything, and I DO MEAN EVERYTHING, comes back to your nervous system. Treat it with respect and make it feel safe to serve you well.

Hey Members! If you have been meaning to change your bodywork membership (longer services, different intervals between, etc) just let me know!

I have had a few members go from the OG 75 minute membership to a 90 minute or 120 minute, and someone just went from bi-weekly hour treatments, to weekly.

So if you need to make changes, please let me know before your January appts and we will get it set up for 2026.

NOT A MEMBER? If you see me at least monthly, membership is for you. It puts you on autodraft and gives you the benefit of never falling off the schedule. Plus you can use the hot tub and cold plunge in the studio, get a free sauna session plus 50% additional for the 12 month duration of your membership!

LMK what questions you have - and yes, if you would like to add GLP-1 or peptides to you membership, we can bundle that up for you too!

Studio is in what I’d call phase 2 of renovation. Getting art hung up, lights where I want them, rugs and seating placed in the foyer.. and this crown jewel - my sauna pod room is complete and ready for your enjoyment! 🥹🤩

Pod features -
• vibrational massage (great for lymphatic drainage and pain relief)

• far-infrared heat with your head out, so you can take in the benefits, lying down & for longer. It reminds me of the absolute bliss of lying in a tanning bed without the cancerous rays ☀️

• PEMF - low-frequency electromagnetic fields to induce electrical currents within tissues. The magnetic fields interact with the body's cells to enhance circulation, reduce inflammation, and accelerate the natural healing processes

• Terahertz - electromagnetic radiation that falls between microwave and infrared light in the spectrum (0.1 to 10 THz). It is considered a gentle, non-ionizing method that can pe*****te skin and reach deeper tissues, vibrating at a frequency similar to that of healthy human cells.

• Red Light Therapy - also known as photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to pe*****te skin and stimulate cellular function, boosting collagen, improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and promoting healing for skin concerns (wrinkles, acne, psoriasis) and pain relief. It works by boosting cell energy (mitochondria).
