360° Breathing: A Foundation for Pelvic Health & a Calm Nervous System

I’m leaning against my horse here to help my body remember how to breathe all the way around — not just into the belly, but into the ribs and the back body too.

A full 360° breath:
• Helps the diaphragm move freely
• Gently massages the deep hip flexor (the psoas) from the inside
• Connects the breath with the pelvic floor and deep core
• Signals safety to the nervous system (rest, digest, heal mode)
• Supports digestion, detox, and tissue hydration

When the breath moves well, the pelvic floor responds naturally — it softens as you inhale and gently lifts as you exhale.
This is a natural Kegel — not forcing or squeezing.

When we don’t breathe into our side & back ribs, we often see:
• Tight hips or psoas
• Pelvic floor tension
• Low back or hip pain
• Shallow breathing
• Feeling stuck in fight-or-flight

Using something solid behind you (a wall, a ball… or a horse 🐎) can help your body feel where the breath is meant to go.

As we finish the Year of the Snake — shedding what no longer serves — and prepare to ride into the Year of the Horse, let this be your reminder:

✨ Breathe fully
✨ Release deeply
✨ Make space for what’s next

Tonight’s full moon feels like a full-circle moment for me.
After all the years I’ve spent helping women (and men!) reconnect to their bodies — through fascia work, nervous system regulation, trauma healing, and real embodied restoration — I’ve seen what happens when the body finally starts communicating again.

And right now… the world is waking up to that same truth.

Everyone is talking about GLP meds for weight loss, but underneath the hype is something much deeper:
these pathways are tied to longevity, cellular repair, inflammation reduction, and even lower cancer risk.
We’re talking:
• 12–26% reduction in cardiovascular death
• 59% reduction in pancreatic cancer
• 46% reduction in colorectal cancer
• 10–14% reduction in all-cause mortality

And as someone who has lived my own healing journey — with fascia, trauma, inflammation, and stress stored in the tissues — I get why people are searching for anything that makes them feel lighter, clearer, more alive in their bodies.

But I also know this:
We deserve options that don’t require injections or synthetic meds.

That’s why I’m so excited for tonight.

We are having a conversation on Zoom with Dr. Christopher Shade ( ), one of the leading voices in detoxification and metabolic vitality AND one of the few people who has profoundly impacted my own healing…
And he’s sharing a completely different path:

✨ plant-derived, liposomal peptides that naturally support GLP pathways
✨ no injections
✨ no synthetic drugs
✨ a metabolic journey that works with the body, not against it

It’s part of ’s brand-new Metabolic Activation Journey, and it aligns perfectly with everything I believe — fascia, energy, detox, emotional clearing, cellular communication, nervous system restoration… all of it.

If your body has been asking for a reset, a softening, a spark — this may be the thing.

Here’s to clarity, vitality, and coming back home to our bodies — from the inside out. 💜🌕

🫶🏻Forever Learning, Forever Growing 🫶🏻

One of my biggest passions is continuing to learn, evolve, and bring more healing tools—not just for myself, but for my clients to thrive as well. 💜

This past weekend, I took an amazing and interactive course with Herman & Wallace Pelvic Institute on Yin Yoga & Acupressure for Optimal Pelvic Health—so interesting to me! We mapped acupressure points and explored yin yoga techniques that help with:
✨ Low back pain
✨ Painful s*x
✨ Prolapse
✨ Painful menstruation
✨ Bladder leakage
✨ Constipation
to name a few things…
Yin yoga has been a love of mine since taking a full training in 2018 (in Ibiza! 🌊☀️) because it emphasizes softening, surrender, and stillness—a much-needed connection to the body and a contrast to the constant “do-do-do” of life. Now, applying it specifically to pelvic health feels like such a gift.

And then there’s acupressure—connecting with energy centers, the fascia (my jam! 🙌), and releasing blocked Qi with gentle finger pressure. It’s a powerful way to shift the body into rest, digest, and heal mode—which is so crucial, as emotional trauma often lives in the body at a cellular level and can hinder physical healing.

The best part? These techniques can be used in the clinic AND easily taught for home practice, empowering clients with tools for lasting change.

Special shoutout to my furry study buddy Gracie who kept me company during this online course (while I was visiting my friends gorgeous retreat center in Nashville).🥰

💫 Excited to integrate these new skills into my practice and continue supporting healing from Head2Soul. 💫

✨ Fascia: The Unsung Hero of Movement ✨

Imagine a network of connective tissue covering every muscle, bone, organ, skin and even cell in your body—this is fascia, and it’s what gives us the freedom to move with ease and grace.

🌟 In this video, watch as the “fascia body” dances, showing how this incredible tissue supports every movement we make.

John Barnes Myofascial Release (MFR) works directly with this vital system. By gently releasing restrictions in the fascia, MFR helps to restore balance, reduce pain, and enhance your body’s natural flow. When fascia is healthy, it allows us to move freely, live pain-free, and feel fully connected to our bodies. Let’s celebrate the magic of fascia and the power of Myofascial Release in helping us all move through life with more freedom! 🕺💃

Unwinding….

Feeling stuck in your movements… mindset… or even in your life’s momentum? Your body might be calling you to slow down, to feel, to allow your fascia to find areas that ARE stuck and holding you back. To open up new possibilities…

This myofascial release technique allows your body’s innate wisdom to take over and move as needed to release stuck patterns, often from past trauma or injury. The best example of this natural, non-conscious movement is how a cat stretches and twists its body, often even yawning in the process.

Unwinding can be done sitting, standing, or lying down. Start by elongating your spine, reaching your arms out, and pressing your legs into the ground. Breathe deeply, bring your awareness inward, and follow your body’s motion. Move where your body wants to go, not where you think you should. Matter of fact, try not to ‘think’ at all with this…

The beautiful thing about this technique, you can do it anytime, anywhere. Just let your body move slowly. It may feel awkward at first since we’re used to purposeful movements, but give yourself time to tune in and find a natural flow. When your body pauses, breathe into it until it’s ready to move again. Feel any sensations, thoughts, or emotions here- without judgement.

Welcome home to your own wisdom 💫
