I’ve been sitting with everything I’ve been learning lately…

and instead of just keeping it in my head or using it only in sessions…

I started outlining something

A simple 7-day reset
focused on helping the body slow down… reconnect… and actually feel safe again

As I was building it, something became really clear to me…

Most people don’t need more information

they need a place to start feeling different

Not overwhelmed
Not pushed
Not trying to get it “right”

just something they can actually follow through with

That’s what I’m working on right now

Something simple
Something practical
Something your nervous system can keep up with

I’m aiming to have it ready by April 28

I’ll share pieces as I go

If your body has been asking for a reset lately…

just stay close

🌄This morning reminded me why fear will never lead someone to God.✝️

I woke up early this morning, no alarm, no ambulance, no annoying air brake from a big rig outside my front window.

I woke up with a sense of lightness, readiness, and purpose. You see I've been playing with the idea of moving my career, not in a new direction, but refining it.

Yesterday I had an experience with a client that validated that shift. A shift toward connecting people to themselves, a shift toward regulating the nervous system, a shift toward creating a safe container to let people just be and release what they've been holding on to.

I decided since I got up early this morning that I would head to my church at Buffalo mountain. I was delighted to find the gates open early this morning so that I could get to the top early and enjoy all the colors that come with the time before the sunrise.

On my walk up, I was confronted by a troubled young man waving his Bible at me, obviously scared, and telling me there's not much time, there's not much time, do you believe in Jesus!?

I told him that was why I was here, to connect with my Creator and this was my time to be closer to him. He continued in a manic state as I calmly told him that the only way to truly save people is to lead by example, to have true communion with the creator was to be silent and listen.

I told him that scaring people into belief isn't true belief and that the only path to connect to everything is through yourself.

As I separated myself from the trail, and from him, I continued on my journey and in the distance every once in awhile I could hear the cry and scream of the troubled young man who has decided to focus on the fear of others instead of the safety of knowing that he has already been saved.

I was blessed this morning to be able to share this moment with the two closest people to me, my partner on video and my Creator. Oh and Chloe😍

I’ve spent a lot of years learning how to “fix” the body…
but the deeper I go, the more I realize…

HERE IS THE KEY->the body doesn’t need to be fixed…
it needs to feel SAFE enough to respond

I'm proud of my studies and commitment to healing myself. I recently completed a 60-hour Breathwork & Movement Therapy certification focused on trauma healing And what stood out most wasn’t just the techniques…

…it was the reminder that healing doesn’t come from forcing change It comes from:
• creating safety
• allowing the nervous system to unwind
• and giving the body space to complete what it’s been holding

This is the direction my work has been moving for a while now…
and I’m feeling called to share more of it

Not just in sessions, but in a way that more people can experience it

I’m currently building something I’m really excited about

A simple, guided experience to help people reconnect with their body and calm their nervous system

More soon…

If this is something your body has been asking for lately…

🌿 A Little Lesson in Patience… with a Window for Action 🌿

Life has a funny way of asking us to wait…
and then suddenly giving us a moment to move.
I had a last-minute opening come up tomorrow,
Tuesday March 31st from 12:30–3:30pm
So here it is… your invitation.
You can patiently scroll past this…
or take a little aligned action and claim the spot 😉
If your body’s been asking for some attention,
if stress has been stacking up,
or if you’ve just been putting yourself last…
This might be your moment.
Therapeutic massage, breathwork, nervous system reset… all in one tuning session.
No pressure… just an opening.
But not all openings stick around.

Ever feel stuck between waiting… and wanting to move forward?

✨ Patience… and Action. ✨

Two things I’ve been sitting with lately.

Patience… trusting that things unfold the way they’re meant to.
Action… showing up anyway, even when it’s not perfect.

This class feels like both.

I’ll be stepping in for Kerry while she is in India,
and I’m bringing a class rooted in slowing down…
while still moving forward.

Not forcing… not rushing…
just listening, breathing, and allowing the body to lead.

✨ One Quiet Opening Tomorrow ✨

I have one session available tomorrow between 3:30–5:00pm.

Not just a massage slot…
A reset window.

If your shoulders have been creeping toward your ears…
If your jaw has been holding conversations you never said out loud…
If your nervous system has been running on “I’ll deal with it later”…

This might be your moment.

We don’t just work muscles.
We work with breath.
With awareness.
With the subtle places your body has been adapting to stress.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do in a week
is pause long enough to feel again.

If your body has been whispering (or yelling),
send me a message and we’ll get you in.

🕒 Tomorrow 3:30–5:00pm

Your body keeps the score…
but it also knows how to unwind when given the right space

Stillness is a myth.

Movement is data.
Tremoring is data.
Avoidance is data.
Leaning in is data.

Your body is intelligent.
Healing is collaborative.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to lie there and tolerate discomfort… this is your permission to move.

Most sessions focus on technique.

Pressure.
Stretch.
Breath pattern.
Music.
Environment.

All important.

But facilitation is different.

A Trauma-Informed Somatic Facilitator doesn’t try to “fix” you.

They create a container where your nervous system feels safe enough to reorganize itself.

I’m not working on your body.
I’m working with your nervous system.

I’m trained to:

• Recognize overwhelm before it becomes shutdown
• Track micro-shifts in breath, tone, and muscle tension
• Titrate intensity instead of pushing through it
• Allow emotions without forcing catharsis
• Follow your system instead of leading it

That’s not relaxation.
That’s nervous system literacy.

And it changes everything.

👉 Question for engagement:
Have you ever left a session feeling relaxed… but not truly shifted?

If you could go back 10… 20… even 30 years…

What’s one simple thing you wish you knew sooner about your body?

Maybe…
• That stress doesn’t just live in your head
• That your tight hips were holding more than muscle
• That pushing through wasn’t strength
• That rest builds resilience
• That awareness changes everything

Sometimes healing isn’t about learning something new…
It’s about finally noticing what’s been there all along.

This week, I’ve got a few openings if your body has been trying to get your attention 👀

🗓 Openings This Week:

• Tuesday 2/24 – 10:45 AM
• Wednesday 2/25 – 1:00–3:30 PM
• Thursday 2/26 – 11:00 AM + 1:30–5:00 PM
• Friday 2/27 – 8:30 AM

Whether you’re coming in for therapeutic massage, deep tissue, energy work, breathwork, or a full tuning session… this could be your moment to reconnect with the version of you that didn’t yet know what your body knows now.

👇 Drop it in the comments:
What’s one thing you wish you understood about your body sooner?

Or DM me if one of these times feels aligned.

Let’s tune in… not just power through 🎧✨

Today during my first intentional self de-armoring practice, something clicked.

I wasn’t trying to release anything.
I was just sitting in quiet.

I felt pulses in my legs… tension in my shoulder… subtle waves moving through my body.

Then I remembered a childhood injury I never told my mom about.
Not because it didn’t hurt…
But because I was afraid of getting in trouble.

That realization stayed with me.

When safety isn’t felt, we learn to create control.

Control of space.
Control of outcomes.
Control of people.

Not because we’re broken…
But because unpredictability once felt unsafe.

The body holds those patterns long after we forget the story.

Pain isn’t the enemy.
It’s information.

As adults, we can create the safety we didn’t have…
Through autonomy.
Through boundaries.
Through awareness.

This is the work I’m stepping more deeply into.

Not fixing.
Not forcing.
Listening.



Where does control show up in your life when you don’t feel safe?

Happy Presidents Day 🇺🇸

and everything hurts from “serving the people”… 😅

I’ve got my last two openings:

🗓️ Tuesday 2/17 | 9–11am
🗓️ Wednesday 2/18 | 9–11am

A tiny practice that’s been changing my mornings…

I realized something funny recently…

When I brush my teeth with my electric toothbrush and stare at the clock, the numbers start to move weird 😂
(try it, you’ll see)

But that’s not the only thing I’ve learned while brushing my teeth…

I started doing my daily gratitude practice while I brush my teeth.

For 2 minutes, I just name as many things as I can.

Big things
Small things
Random things
The kind of things I usually forget to appreciate

It’s become one of the easiest ways for me to be still, present, and grounded first thing in the morning and right before bed.

No journal required.
No extra time.
Just… 2 minutes of awareness.

What’s your favorite way to practice gratitude or presence?
I’d love to hear what works for you.
