Small techniques for breathing better!! Pic #1 is to demonstrate that you should be thinking of breathing as being a cylindrical action. Belly expands, ribs flare from either side, back body opens. Generally it is good to breathe mostly from your trunk, while the chest opens and shoulders rise just slightly. Too much chest breathing can result in neck and shoulder tension. Pic #2 shows an example of opening your ribs laterally to assist in the movement needed for rib expansion. Pic #3 is simply good posture- tall spine, open chest and shoulders. Poor posture congests the diaphragm and over time causes tightness, underuse and therefore weakness. Effecting not only your breathing, but digestion, blood and lymph flow. The fascia gets stuck and pulls down. This causes hip tightness, back and shoulder pain. Potentially forward head posture. Glute weakness, etc etc! So whatever stuff you’ve maybe heard about how posture doesn’t matter.. doesn’t make much sense. I hope this helps, I’ll have a few more to add.

Stress creates tension. Tension creates stagnation and instability and sometimes overcompensation in other muscles and joints, nerves, ligaments and lymph. This needs movement in order to FLOW. Call it energy, chi , prana, whatever you like. More specifically it is also lymph, blood, and fascia. By doing passive movements such as these every single day- 3 to 5 minutes each, you are opening the thoracic area, shoulders, neck, back, and hips. Just to name a few. With that you get less pain, better breathing, and more flow throughout your system. Even better if you can do it in the sun barefoot on the grass! 😎

Corny post alert! This is to show my softness and gratitude for what is at this point in my life. I have always strived to be an example of what a person can be, despite many years of abuse and neglect through my childhood. Despite emotionally maturing probably way too late in my life. Pushing for expected outcomes, thinking that was the only way. Going through extreme bouts of depression where I felt I wouldn’t make it out alive. I knew deep inside that the only way out is through, and I had to face myself. Still do. My point is to say that I never considered myself a victim to my circumstances, in fact I feel like it was all meant for me. I am still learning so much about healing, and while I could tell myself that I have to right to talk about practical things I’m still so new to, I acknowledge that I have many years of personal experience. I am happier now than ever before. Even with owning less material possesions, having less friends. Arguably less to do. I am soft because I am at peace. There will probably always be days where I backtrack, but I am more apt to handle it better when it comes. So thank you for all who believe in me, and support me in any way. Truly blessed.

As I work on practicing what I preach, calming of my nervous system- I recognize that phone activity is very much something to steer away from, especially on my days off. I am also starting a course in yoga therapy which I love. I feel called to be more creative and speak about the many benefits of massage in regards to pain management,all the while yoga and breathwork take a strong hold of being the forefront of my mind. There are of course many other practices to complement- such as sleep, nature, and proper nutrition for your body. Pain is complicated to say the least, but I know now that putting too much emphasis on all of these modalities in themselves can in an indirect way, also cause more suffering. Balancing softness, intution, intelligence, and compassion for myself and others is ultimately my goal. - This is all to say that I’m still here, I still strongly believe in what I do, and I am still available and happy to take care of you when you are ready. All my love

Here I am sitting in the grass, barefoot, soaking in the sun’s rays. Before my day starts and in between clients (if possible) I find it absolutely crucial to ground myself so that I am most centered. Touching others is not something to be taken lightly, as you are in fact giving off subtle cues of your own internal energy. Being in nature is one of my favorite ways to center- but there is also breathwork, movement, meditation, and sound healing that come at a close second
