Public Service Announcement (with love 💛):

As many of you know, I’m currently in a very tender phase of healing and actively re-regulating my nervous system. Most of my time has been spent in a dimly lit room doing breathwork to work through various flares. Yes, it is that serious and that bad at the moment. I'm in the process of retraining my nervous system. It's hard and a lot!

Part of what that requires right now is being extremely mindful about what I take in, especially visually and emotionally.

If you feel called to send me something supportive, healing messages, gentle music, kind words, or calming content are always welcome and deeply appreciated. Truly.

What I’m asking is that nothing political, disturbing, intense, or emotionally activating be sent my way at this time, even if it’s well-intended.

This evening, someone sent me a video that I thought would be healing, but it turned out to be very political. Just a few seconds of exposure was enough to trigger a significant nervous system flare, which I’m now working through.

This isn’t about disagreement or judgment, it’s about protecting my healing. My system is extremely sensitive right now, and even brief stimulation can have a big impact.

Thank you so much for understanding, for holding this boundary with me, and for continuing to show up with care and compassion. It truly means more than I can say. 💗

I am healing and this is how you participate.

Thank you. 🙏🏼💚

Health Update

I wanted to share a health update here, as many of you are clients, colleagues, or friends. 💛

I’m okay — very tender and still in the healing process — but finally moving in the right direction after things peaked around Christmas.

More importantly, I’ve been able to get to the root of what’s been making me so sick for a long time.

What I’ve been dealing with has not been MCAS or food allergies, as I was repeatedly told by doctors. At the core, this has been a deeply dysregulated nervous system that had been under prolonged strain. There were multiple layers contributing to this, including long-term SSRI withdrawal, becoming re-sensitized after briefly restarting them last summer, steroid withdrawal, chronic stress, and life-stage factors. At 58, and having gone through menopause in recent years, you could fairly call it a perfect storm.

The symptoms have been intense and frightening at times — burning, itching, buzzing, heat, pain, and extreme sensitivity. These reactions weren’t dangerous, but they were severe, and they are still present as my nervous system relearns how to self-regulate.

This kind of healing isn’t quick. It requires time, consistency, and restraint. Too much stimulation, activity, or stress can send me back into a flare, so for now I’m living much more slowly and intentionally than I’m used to. That’s been humbling — and necessary.

The good news is that nothing is “broken.” This is functional, not structural, and it is reversible. My focus right now is on re-regulating my nervous system and preventing relapse, which means:
• steady meals with protein to support blood sugar
• minimizing stimulation (especially news and intense content)
• honoring rest instead of pushing through
• keeping my world smaller and quieter for now
• holding clearer boundaries around my time, energy, and emotional bandwidth
• choosing containment and calm over urgency

I also want to share that I was only able to connect these dots by deeply researching, tracking patterns, and having long, detailed conversations using ChatGPT — after nearly two years of doctors not being able to figure out what was happening or offering anything beyond additional medication. Love it or hate it, AI helped me understand what my body was actually doing in a way nothing else had.

I want to be clear that I’m not anti-medication. Meds for anxiety and depression can be incredibly helpful and even life-saving — they certainly were for me at different points in my life. What I do strongly encourage is working with a doctor who is attentive, present, and supportive, especially during long-term use, changes, or tapering.

I’ve also learned a great deal about non-pharmaceutical supports that are especially helpful when the nervous system is involved. Somatic therapy has been invaluable for restoring a sense of safety in the body. Gentle, appropriate breathwork has helped tremendously. I’ve also explored therapies that work directly with the nervous system and the body’s electrical and vibrational nature, such as PEMF, vibroacoustic/fibroacoustic therapy, and other frequency-based approaches — tools that support regulation rather than stimulation.

For me, the biggest lesson has been that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s about understanding your body, your history, and your life stage, and finding the right combination of support — medical, somatic, and nervous-system based — that truly meets you where you are.

I’m still in this process, but I’m no longer lost.

I may be a bit quieter and less available than usual for a while as I protect this healing, and I appreciate your patience and understanding as I move through it with care.

Thank you for holding me with so much grace. 💛
