My focus has shifted lately to helping clients Move Better from the inside out. Let's explore what might be keeping you stuck on a subconscious level.
Your lived emotional experience has shaped how you feel and move today more than you could imagine.

Another "cold- hating" badass took on sauna/ cold plunge contrast therapy and survived! With support for your legitimate nervous system response (maybe you can feel the activation just reading this), breath techniques, and of course a friend to distract you from the clock, you too can get familiar with the systemic benefits of contrast therapy!
Every time I go I clock a new shift in my muscle tension, energy level, mental clarity, and even chronic tinnitis! HMU and I'd love to usher you into the fold, or join me and owner Tracie Irvin-Ayers for our nervous system event Jan 8th!
Not every workout will be amazing. Sometimes just setting the momentum in motion is enough. If you'd like some support for moving your body in 2026 shoot me a DM or check out my profile link. It's undeniable that you are a human being and movement is part of your biology. I'm interested in supporting the whole human and weight training is a great way to access confidence in a new way!

I did a brave thing!!! I went to Cold Plunge + Wellness in Newburgh, IN and did hot/ cold contrast therapy. It was such a great experience, no nonsense, just ...
🥵 SWEAT
🚿 RINSE
🛁 PLUNGE
🔁 REPEAT
30 minute to better nervous system regulation! Of course I still want you to come in for Somatic Experiencing Therapy with me but THIS is a great foray into the RELIEF that comes with regulation.
Give it a try... it's already cold outside, at least in here you get to hang in the sauna first!! You just might improve your resistance to cold in the process!!
This is not medical advice and you should consult your doctor if you have pre existing conditions.

Didn't think I could handle it, but boy was I pleasently surprised! Going again Friday and I hope you give yourself the chance to prove yourself wrong!
Feel that electricity ⚡️⚡️💪
Lots of good nervous system shifts happening in real time! You know I've got more to say on that!
Grab your suit and go check out Cold Plunge + Wellness this weekend! Let's see how many referrals I can get! 😝
This is NOT medical advice and you should definitely make sure your system can handle temperature extremes. Consult your doctor if you're not sure, a nervous system in shutdown may have adverse reactions!

Interrupt your autopilot.
Whats the sensation like in my body? (pause for 20 sec to observe with curiosity- no judging)
What does the energy in my head feel like? (again, pause for what feels like way too long and simply notice)
This is often the first step in learning Somatics and learning to better understand your being.
I am offering a limited time offer for first time Somatic sessions at 50% off the usual price! Follow the link in my profile to get in on the deal and get all your questioned answered, learn about your own biology in an ever changing world, and perhaps you can visit that safe space you've been dreaming about. 🙏

💥 Too much to do to read the caption!!? Scroll down so you don't miss this limited time offer!
Noone can deny tere are too many things to do this day and age. There are simply too many things demanding your attention and making you feel bad for not doing them perfectly.
I have come to realize in my own healing journey that the way to experience more in your life is to actually DO LESS. It's one of those great paradoxes that can be hard to comprehend when you're in the midst of chaos and overwhelm. The fear is if you let off the gas for one moment it will all come crashing down.
Somatic Experiencing therapy supports you in the transition of slowing it all down. A typical session is one part education, one part reflection on the felt senses and the third part is a wild and playful journey shifting through the things standing in your way. I believe in this work so deeply, and I want you to be able to comprehend it and accurately evaluate if it can help you. I know it will, but you're the one that holds the power to enact change!
💥 For a limited time I am offering initial somatic experiencing consultations for just $50! My hope is by making this work more accessible it help more of us get back to our true nature. One where we feel calm, cool, and contented!
DM me LESS to start the process or visit my website movebetterhealing.com to learn more!

Today's movement breakdown:
db halos
knee over toes lunge
assisted hip flexor stretch
arm bars
box squats
I think one of the biggest disservices to the general public is that they're made to think they need to stretch every joint, every day.
I don't stretch all the time and I only stretch a few problem areas. Based on actual joint range of motion assessments, for me that means my pecs, lats, hip flexors, and wrists. You probably have other areas that need regular lengthening and that's why an assessment is so important.
I am all for personal autonomy but if you're new to something or not trained in it, hire a professional to get you started.
Then you can ask all the questions that come up and get yourself moving in the right direction to avoid injury and wasting time. Shoot me a DM with your goals and training ideas and I'm happy to get you started for FREE!
That's right! It's that important to me to make sure that you get off on the right foot in your movement journey.

Self- myofascial work on the Triceps to help relieve elbow and wrist pain.
Grab a foam roller, pin your arm between the roller and your body, then get to rollin out the tissue!
Focus your work to the inner and outer parts of the upper arm for the best effects. Try rotating the lower arm while pressing in one spot for more concentrated work.
Grab a broom or something like it to further explore the range of motion in the shoulder and wrist joint.
Need more help? Reach out, I'm happy to clarify details or talk about what other areas might need work!
Want more "How do I massage myself" videos, DM me massage and any special requests!

Orthopedic Massage uses therapeutic techniques to alleviate muscle pain and movement restrictions. We primarily treat athletes and individuals who wish to stay active through all of life’s stages. The following is an outline of our treatment plan.
We hope this helps you see our approach to massage therapy. We have studied far outside the lines of bodywork to understand what truly builds a resilient body. There are plenty of places to get a full body massage that will help you feel better. But we want to help you move better, know better, live better, and feel better!
1.Client’s experience of pain, therapist-observed movement dysfunctions, focus is on relieving immediate pain, but also prioritizing subsequent concerns. Encompasses information provided in intake form through the 2nd or 3rd appointment.
2.Whole- health examination to identify contributing habits: ergonomics, bio-mechanics/ joint range of motion, functional strength for longevity, hydration, nutrition, and stress management. Discussed over 2nd -4th appointments with daily adjustments a must for success.
3.Moving out of pain as a regular experience and towards prevention of recurrence and other breakdowns. We want to reach this level as soon as possible so you are in full command of your body and just need us for tune ups! A loose guideline for getting to this point is 6 sessions, but of course it varies from person to person.
