Your hips and jaw are fascia-connected, and they both store tension, trauma, and emotional residue. When we release the jaw, we’re doing more than relaxing the face—we’re restoring balance to the body and releasing what doesn't serve us.

When the jaw is tight, the pelvis may be holding, too. This fascial connection affects overall alignment, which shows up on your face: uneven tone, asymmetry, or a dropped brow can all be signs of tension.

Tight fascia = poor circulation.
Poor circulation = stagnation.

And stagnation can lead to dull, congested, puffy skin. Supporting release through jaw massage, gentle pelvic tilts, stretching, or even breathwork.

Your lymph system doesn’t have a pump — it relies on movement, breath, and fascia to flow. Whether it's an evening stroll, a breathwork session, or drybrushing, your lymphatic system needs your support to function properly.

How lymphatic stagnation shows in the skin:
* swollen under-eyes and visible puffiness
* dullness
* accelerated signs of aging
* how much you sleep
* accellorated signs of aging
* pigmentation issues

To support your flow:
* Dry brush before your shower
* Breathe deeply for 3 minutes a day
* Take a walk or roll your feet on a ball to stimulate fascial lines
* Gua sha for better circulation

Rituals don’t have to be long, just consistent.

We trust our washing machines to keep our lives clean.

The very things our bodies touch and inhale,
twenty-four hours a day.

A clean washer is essential for a restful night’s sleep, when we’re breathing deeply and letting our system repair.

But even the places meant to care for us
can hold more than we realize.

Anywhere water lingers, microbes follow.

Mold, biofilm, and bacteria thrive in warmth, darkness, moisture, and the skin cells we shed. Not on the metal itself,
but in the hidden spaces we rarely think to check:

• inside the drum
• behind the detergent tray
• deep in the rubber seal
• along the hose pathways
• anywhere moisture quietly rests

Bleach is forbidden in my home and clinic.
When bleach meets mold, it creates VOCs that settle into the very things that touch your body every day, clothes, underwear, sheets, towels.

Your skin, lymphatic system, and hormones feel that exposure long before you do.

Remember the air you breathe should always be #1 wellness priority.

My ritual is simple:
I use 12% food grade hydrogen peroxide in the softener tray and run a self clean cycle on the hottest setting, once a week, or more often when the laundry piles grow.

I always leave the washer door open so air can move and moisture can’t linger when not in use.

If you’ve been navigating chronic inflammation, lymphatic stagnation, skin issues, fatigue, or mold toxicity…this tiny corner of your home may be playing a bigger role than you think.

A gentle reminder:
sometimes the smallest shifts
protect the deepest parts of us.

Save this for your weekly detox ritual.
Your skin, your clothes, your lymphatic system, all of you, will feel the difference.

Ever heard of lymphatic burping? It’s a gentle tapping method that stimulates the lymphatic system. Helping your body clear toxins, reduce puffiness, and release stagnation.
Anywhere your body bends (“hinge points”) like your neck, underarms, ribs, groin, knees, and ankles. You have clusters of lymph nodes. By using the palm of your hand to pat these areas, you help move lymph, support detoxification, and rebalance circulation.

Think of it like burping a baby! Only this time, you’re helping your lymphatic system release what’s stuck. This easy, at-home technique supports flow, energy, and total body drainage.

Try this 2x daily:
Pat the sides of your neck, clavicle, underarms, ribcage, belly button area, groin, behind knees, and ankles.
Stay consistent and watch your body reset from the inside out.

There are so many benefits to breathing through your nose … beyond not being referred to as a ‘mouth breather’.
Nasal breathing stimulates the vagus nerve to promote calm and reduce stress in the body. It also helps filter and warm air as it enters the body for a deeper, cleaner breath.

But did you know that in ancient healing, each nostril plays a specific role in your wellness and mood? Swipe to see how each nostril is doing its part.

Your tongue is sabotaging your efforts for sculpted cheekbones. ⁠
Tongue position has a major impact on your face shape. Holding the tongue on the roof of the mouth is not only the proper position (unless talking, eating, etc) but also helps to shape the cheekbones. It will help draw up the area under your chin for a more sculpted looking jawline. ⁠
⁠
Bonus - It also helps the Glymphatic (brain lymph) drain as there is nodes at the roof of the mouth.

Kidney 27 (right under the collarbone) is an acupressure point in Traditional Chinese Medicine used to soothe anxiety, enhance immune function, support exhaustion & adrenal fatigue, help with respiration & asthma, lift the mood, and act as a powerful emotional reset.⁠

Emotions impact body tension and tone. And those raised ‘stress’ shoulders and tight neck muscles are no different. You may see your undefined collarbone as an aesthetic issue, but it’s likely signaling a deeper issue.⁠
⁠
The thoracic inlet is one of the most vulnerable pathways in the human body. Sitting just above the collarbone, it is deeply impacted by your neck’s tension and fascia. When you have tight neck muscles or fascia, it impacts your ability to detoxify your head and neck, your vagus nerve, and even your lung function.⁠
⁠
Stress and withdrawal can lead to the tightening of the thoracic inlet pathway. Swipe to see the domino effect it can have and what you can do about it.

So seed oils are bad. But what about seeds?⁠
⁠
Actually, seeds are an amazing source of nourishment for the body. It’s the heat processing and filtering that creates issues. So, yes, you can feel good about snacking on a handful of seeds or nuts.⁠
