So this just happened. A nice little bit of recognition based upon what actually matters to me: client feedback.

Dear women, there's so much swirling out there today that could be triggering. Accounts of abusers, predators and enablers are being dragged into the light, as well they should be. Most of us have suffered abuse at some point. Pay attention to your breath, watch for tension patterns in your body. If you can, minimize how much info you take in, especially in one sitting. Allow yourself all the feelings and don't hesitate to ask for support. You deserve to preserve your peace. Ground however feels right for you.

And those solar storms make our nervous systems ratchety too.

Be kind and patient with yourselves. Sending much love. I'm here if you need support.

Confirmation of what some of us have always known. If you are looking for a path toward regulation, I am here to help.

Science now confirms what many have long felt: the body keeps the score of every stress it has endured. Each worry, heartbreak, or unresolved fear leaves traces not just in memory, but in muscles, hormones, and the nervous system itself. Over time, the body adapts to survival mode, staying alert even when no real threat remains. Thinking alone cannot switch that off.

Researchers studying trauma and chronic stress found that the autonomic nervous system plays a central role in this process. When under repeated pressure, the body floods itself with cortisol and adrenaline, keeping heart rate and alertness high. Eventually, this state becomes the “new normal,” leading to exhaustion, anxiety, inflammation, and poor immune function.

Therapists and neuroscientists emphasize that healing stress isn’t intellectual; it’s physiological. Practices such as deep breathing, mindful movement, therapy, and grounding exercises help regulate the body from the bottom up, signaling safety back to the brain. Once the body feels secure, the mind begins to follow.

The most powerful shift happens when awareness meets physical release. Crying, stretching, shaking, or even long walks can help the body complete stress cycles that thinking cannot. True calm isn’t achieved through overanalyzing emotions; it’s restored by teaching the body that it no longer needs to fight to survive.

The body holds memory, but it also holds wisdom. Every moment of stillness, every conscious breath, is a step away from survival and a step toward peace.

I have new offering to help with your well being. If you've been with me a while some of this will be familiar from my days teaching pranayama yin. I wanted to go deeper than a yoga class, to provide more holistic movement that is accessible to every body and trauma informed. My goal is to help people find a way to become comfortably embodied and resilient, and find tools to aid regulating their nervous systems.

These classes are one on one to allow for a more personalized focus. My studio is little but could accommodate two people and still have space for a full range of movement, if you prefer the buddy system🌠

Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Private lessons are an ideal way to deepen your existing practices or to learn the basics in an unimposing environment. Somatic Movement/Meditation classes employ a variety of techniques from yoga,...

We are impacted by these phenomenon, some to a greater degree than others. As I will say to my dying day, be gentle with yourself. Touch earth, find your breath.

A new huge hole has opened in the sun's atmosphere, it’s a 300,000-wide butterfly-shaped gap and it is spewing a stream of solar wind toward Earth. A stream of solar wind flowing from this coronal hole might reach Earth by September 14th.
💥Heads Up! Another wave on the way! Do you feel it? Take Care of yourself and drink lots of water! Solar activity can cause us to be:
nervous
anxiousness
worrisome
jittery
dizzy
shaky
irritable
lethargic
exhausted
short term memory problems
heart palpitations
feel nauseous
queasy
prolonged head pressure
headaches

As always be gentle with yourselves.

FINALLY

For years, many people suffering from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) were told their illness was “all in their head.” Now, the largest genetic study to date has confirmed that ME/CFS is a real biological condition. Researchers identified eight DNA regions linked to immune system problems and nervous system dysfunction.
The study, involving tens of thousands of participants, found consistent genetic markers in people diagnosed with ME/CFS. These markers affect how the body responds to infections, stress, and inflammation, explaining why patients experience extreme fatigue, brain fog, and post-exertional crashes even after mild activity.
This discovery is a major step forward in understanding the disease. It validates the experiences of millions of patients who have struggled to get proper diagnosis and care. It also opens the door to new treatments targeting the biological mechanisms behind the illness.
Doctors and scientists hope that this research will lead to better diagnostics, support, and therapies. Most importantly, it challenges the stigma surrounding ME/CFS, showing that it’s not psychological—it’s physiological.

Leaving scooters on the sidewalk is inconsiderate, able-bodied sh*te.

Trust me, I was a fan. My colleagues and I rode scooters everywhere. Lunch runs, investor meetings, you name it. They felt like freedom on two wheels. But the shine wore off quickly.

Yes! This is sensing!

Quantum tunneling in your brain creates thoughts before you think them.

Quantum physicists studying neural microtubules discovered that consciousness operates through quantum tunneling effects that allow information to bypass normal neural transmission, essentially creating thoughts at faster-than-light speeds within brain tissue. This quantum processing explains how intuitive insights and creative breakthroughs appear to emerge from nowhere - they're actually quantum computations happening in parallel dimensions of consciousness. The quantum effects occur in the protein structures inside neurons, where electrons tunnel through molecular barriers to create thought patterns that exist before conscious awareness recognizes them. This pre-conscious quantum processing might be where free will actually originates, with quantum uncertainty providing the non-deterministic foundation for genuine choice. The discovery suggests that human consciousness operates partially outside normal space-time constraints, accessing information through quantum entanglement with the universal quantum field. Understanding quantum consciousness could lead to technologies for direct mind-to-mind communication and enhanced cognitive abilities.
