Happy Halloween! As an integrative practitioner, dialoguing and balancing the nervous system is incorporated and sometimes the bulk of a session. I promise, it’s not as scary as it looks

The vagus nerve is your body’s chill button-regulating heart rate, digestion, mood and inflammation. 
 
Having seen tens of thousands of labs over the past 16 years of people around the world I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t when it comes to health and lab optimization. 
 
People with autoimmune issues, hormone imbalances fertility problems, digestive problems, anxiety, depression, brain fog and fatigue have to have both-and, not either-or approach to heal and optimize. As much as we implement tools like peptides, food protocols, natural medicines for our telehealth patients, we always “prescribe” mind-body somatic practices like the ones on this list to improve vagal tone.

Deep Tissue is an umbrella term for a large repertoire of techniques and modalities which address deeper layers of muscles, fascia, and other connective tissues. Not to be confused with a preference for preference of sensing deeper pressure by a therapist. I perform a wide array of deep tissue techniques -neuromuscular, myofascial release, stretch therapy, scar tissue techniques, etc. Results are made with just-the-right amount of pressure, without damaging tissues and without injuring myself.

So true!

The lymphatic system is the body's sanitation system. Here is some food for thought. "If you aren't draining, you are accumulating." "If you aren't eliminating, you are reabsorbing"

Symptoms your lymphatic system may be congested: colds that last for weeks after the acute phase, poor digestion, body pain for no apparent reason, puffy face, belly, underarms that doesn't go away with exercise or movement.

Ask me how Manual Lymphatic Drainage can help improve your energy-levels, reduce pain and inflammation, debloat your face and belly, boost your immune system, and improve detoxification function in your body. Self Care begins here.
