I’ve been working with bodies for over 21 years.

I created The Formation Method,
a body-led process for shifting the patterns that have been running you so you can intentionally shape what comes next.

This is movement-based work.
We recalibrate your body.
We retrain your nervous system.
We build real capacity for what you actually want in your life
instead of looping back to old survival habits.

You don’t just “manage” symptoms.
You get stronger.
More embodied.
More steady inside yourself.

I created a free mini class on how to stop a flare at the root.

Pain & flare cycles are rarely just tissue or the structure.
They’re protective loops.
A rhythm the body has adapted to.

When your nervous system anticipates pain,
it braces before you even move.
It amplifies sensation and story.

I teach folks how to disrupt the old rhythms or patterning in their bodies that are no longer serving them as they move forward in their life.

We retrain the pattern, not just treat the symptom.

Because if you don’t interrupt the pattern, you’ll keep restarting.

If you’re ready to work at the level beneath the symptoms, I’ll send you my free mini class.

A market doesn’t really exist
until it has an identity
and a community.

Before that?
It’s just scattered symptoms.

Give it a name.
Perimenopause.
Hormone imbalance.
Adrenal fatigue.
ADHD.

Now people can say,
“That’s me.”

Then comes community.
Shared language.
Shared memes.
Shared outrage.
Shared relief.

And when identity and community lock in?
A market forms.

That’s not evil.
It’s predictable.

The real question is this:

Am I being supported toward resilience?

Am I being given the full picture
stress load, lifestyle, trauma history, physical activity, sleep, nutrition, nervous system state?

Or am I being stabilized
and positioned
as a dependent, lifelong customer?

There’s a difference.

One path builds capacity.
The other manages symptoms.

One strengthens the organism.
The other maintains the subscription.

Your body isn’t a brand category.
It’s an ecosystem.

And it knows when it’s being understood
versus monetized.

Choose accordingly.

When you’ve been in pain for a long time, the story gets rehearsed.

Same diagnosis.
Same language.
Same ending.

But here’s what most people miss:

Even in the same area, sensation is never identical.
It shifts.
It pulses differently.
It softens for a second.
It moves.

When you keep telling the same story, you pull the body back to the old imprint. The nervous system organizes around expectation. It braces before it even checks the data.

Healing isn’t forcing your body forward.

It’s noticing the micro-shifts already happening.

That 5% softening.
That flare that lasted 30 minutes instead of three hours.
That exhale that reached deeper than yesterday.

That’s the root.

Most flares don’t start in tissue.
They start in anticipation.

If you interrupt the pattern at the root, you stop living in reaction mode.

If you’re ready to stop managing flares and start addressing what actually drives them, I’ll send you my free mini class: How to Stop a Flare at the Root.

Your body is not broken. It’s patterned. And patterns can change.

Remember what is good.
Remember our tenderness.
Remember our innocence.
Breathe life into them.

Let this take up more space
than the outrage.
Let this be the loudest
thing in your field.

Your focus creates your reality.

Shine a clear, unsparing light
on where you are still not free.

Notice where your body tightens.
Notice where you go silent.
Notice where you shrink to fit.

That is the edge.

Go there gently.
And shed. 🐍

The way you respond to pain is what keeps it alive.

Most people either ignore it
or try to overpower it.

Both teach the nervous system to brace.
Both deepen the pattern.

Pain isn’t an enemy. It’s a message.
And if you learn to listen, it becomes a roadmap back to yourself.

I made a short class to show you how to stop a flare at the root by releasing hidden tension in 20 minutes or less.

DM me TENSION and I’ll send it to you.

Stop thinking your way forward. Start below your

I train my clients barefoot for a reason.
Strong feet change your posture, your balance, your entire kinetic chain.

Then come the calves.
The eddy where flow can slow and swirl.
Often mirroring the places in life where you feel stuck.
They’re called the second heart because they help pump blood back up to the upper body against gravity.

Along the inside seam of your leg runs the Deep Front Line.
A fascial pathway linking the arches of your feet to your inner calves, inner thighs, pelvic floor, diaphragm, deep neck, jaw, and tongue.

When you soften the calves, wake the feet, and bring awareness to this inner line, the body reorganizes.
Posture changes. Breathing changes. The way you move through the world changes.

So before you try to “figure out” why you feel stuck


Go below your knees.
And notice how your body starts to flow.

The more you outsource your body,
the less you recognize yourself.

The more you attach to multiple opinions of multiple practitioners.

When you start placing higher value on what others say about your health than what you know, intuitively, to be true, something is lost.

You are the authority here.
You may have forgotten how to read what your body is saying.

Yes, sometimes you need support.
But support should help you build the bridge back to yourself.
