An Osteopathic Manual Practitioner treats the body as a whole — not just the symptom.

We blend musculoskeletal therapy, visceral work with the organs, and craniosacral therapy using gentle, precise mobilizations to help restore alignment, balance, and homeostasis.

It’s not about forcing the body… it’s about guiding it back into harmony. ✨

This Up Dog + neck rotation flow is one of my favorite ways to release the hip flexors — especially the psoas.

Press firmly into the ground with your hands, engage your glutes and back, then let your breath guide your rotation.
Inhale to prepare, exhale as you rotate fully through the neck. Reset to neutral between each side so your alignment stays true.

Gentle, intentional movement like this helps restore mobility, posture, and nervous system balance.

TMJ dysfunction is rarely caused by just one thing.

In clinic, I almost always see a combination of:
• Dental work
• Postural changes
• Chronic stress patterns
• Trauma

One may be the tipping point — but the body is always working as a whole.

Your jaw is never just about your jaw. 🤍

Your feet are the foundation of how you move 👣

The shoes you wear every day directly impact your gait, posture, and long-term comfort.
When footwear limits toe spread, stiffens the sole, or forces you to grip to keep it on, it changes how you walk — and that stress can travel up the body.

That’s why I look for:
• A flexible sole
• A wide toe box
• A zero-drop heel
• Support when needed, without restricting movement

And yes — flip-flops aren’t inherently bad, but quality matters, especially here in Southwest Florida where we live in sandals.

If you’re dealing with foot pain, ankle stiffness, low back discomfort, or even chronic headaches, it’s worth looking at what’s happening from the ground up.

Your feet aren’t just there to hold you up.

They’re built to move, feel, adapt, and support your entire body.

26 bones. 33 joints. 4 layers of muscle on the plantar surface.

Yet most of us lock them into stiff shoes all day.

A little daily foot movement goes a long way 👣
Strong feet = better balance, better movement, better life.

What if your movement goals didn’t involve pushing all out?
Your body isn’t lazy—it’s communicating.
Listening is where real, sustainable progress begins.

3 tips to make your hip hinges actually work 👇

1️⃣ Set your feet for your hips → better alignment, stronger glute contraction
2️⃣ Load the glutes first → don’t rush the stand-up, let the glutes initiate (your low back will thank you)
3️⃣ Brace your core → inhale as you hinge, expand the belly; exhale for 5 as you come up while keeping that brace

Slow it down. Feel it. Build strength the smart way.

A gentle reminder of how powerful CranioSacral Therapy can be for children—especially neurodivergent kids.

After an exciting holiday stretch, one of my regular little clients came in feeling overstimulated and dysregulated. Within moments of being on the table, his nervous system softened… and he fell asleep.

Sometimes the body just needs safety, stillness, and support to reset. When the nervous system settles, children can feel calmer, more grounded, and better able to enjoy their days.

Subtle work. Meaningful change.

✈️ 4 Traveling Tips

Hydration + movement + sleep

Traveling for the holidays and not sleeping well? Try this.

Travel disrupts sleep because of:
• Dehydration
• Long periods of sitting
• Less movement
• Nervous system overload

Travel sleep tips:
💧 Sip water consistently (especially when flying)
🚶‍♀️ Move every 1–2 hours
🧘 Gentle stretching when you arrive
🌞 Get early sunlight the next morning

These simple habits help your body unwind and sleep deeper—even on the road.

✨ Travel smarter, sleep better.

Save this before your next trip
