Showing up for yourself isn’t easy!

It looks like spending time with yourself in safe ways, maybe even just in tiny moments at first - getting to know your sensitivities, habits and triggers.

It’s allowing space for messiness, and learning to bring in more compassion and curiosity.

It's noticing the tension, stress, hurriedness, judgment — and inserting space between yourself and that feeling.

It’s hard to be a person- really hard sometimes.
But it’s also incredibly beautiful and joyful at times too.

You are already everything wrapped up in one beautiful body —
give yourself the grace, patience and love to be present to all of your parts.

Cheri Endean- This is exactly what we were discussing today- Kate expresses it so eloquently and so beautifully 💖

Riding the Fascial Wave

There are moments during a session when the work stops feeling like technique and becomes more like a moving meditation. My hands follow the breath, and the tissues respond in waves. The whole room exhales as if guided by an invisible tide. What happens on the table begins to resemble the ancient rhythm of Qi Gong, a gentle dance between intention and surrender, a quiet conversation between two bodies finding their way into the same current.

Qi Gong is rooted in the belief that life moves in cycles of expansion and contraction. A rise and a fall. A gathering and a releasing. Myofascial Flow mirrors this exactly. As the hands glide, melt, anchor, and pull, the fascia responds with its own internal choreography. Collagen fibers unravel. Ground substance warms and becomes more fluid. Mechanoreceptors awaken and begin sending ripples of information through the nervous system. What looks like simple movement becomes a profound recalibration.

There is science woven through this poetry. Slow, intentional movement activates the parasympathetic nervous system, allowing muscles to lengthen without resistance. Oscillation and spiraling motions stimulate Pacinian and Ruffini receptors, sending calming signals through the vagus nerve. Long, fluid strokes help reorganize collagen fibers and restore glide in the fascial layers. Breath-led movement increases nitric oxide, a natural vasodilator that enhances circulation and helps tissues soften from the inside out.

When we combine these elements on the table, we create an experience where the body does not feel forced into change. It is invited. Encouraged. Guided. Fascia responds far more deeply to coaxing than to command, just as qi responds more readily to intention than to effort. The practitioner becomes a conduit for rhythm, and the client’s body recognizes the pattern, relaxing into the familiar hum of movement and breath.

There is a profound ease that happens when these worlds meet. Together they create a practice that is both grounding and expansive, both earthly and ethereal. This is why my work often resembles a slow dance. There is push and pull, ebb and flow, rising and sinking. My hands follow the same principles that Qi Gong masters have practiced for thousands of years, even as my understanding is rooted in mechanotransduction, tissue viscosity, and neural pacing: different languages, different traditions, the same truth.

✨Women who serve others often lose their voice in the quietest ways.
Not because they’re unexpressed. But because they’ve become fluent in expressing for everyone else.

✨You know how to hold space. How to translate emotions. How to steady the room. How to listen so deeply that others can feel themselves again.

✨But who does that for you?
