Lately, I’ve been noticing how easy it is to slip into the fear loop — to scroll, tense, and absorb more than my nervous system can hold.

The moment I realized just how much I was carrying, everything shifted. I started making small, intentional changes to come back home to my body - to calm, presence, and trust.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the noise of the world, you’re not alone.

Our nervous systems can only take in so much - and learning how to care for them is an act of resistance and of healing.

Just dropped a new video on my YouTube channel (coming soon to my website homepage!) - and here’s an excerpt - where I share the heart and premise behind The Healing Eclectic.

If you’ve ever wondered how working with me can help you turn pain into empowerment, passion, and purpose—through the wisdom and guidance of your own body—please take a few minutes to watch.

Finding your footing in the middle of chaos and the world burning down around us - can feel impossible - but it’s where real strength begins.

Lately, many clients have asked me: “What are you doing to stay grounded during this time?”

Today, I’m sharing some of my thoughts and practices in the hope that they inspire you to connect with what helps you feel centered and release what no longer serves you.

Remember, emotions are energy in motion. When we allow ourselves to feel, that energy can move through us instead of getting stuck in us.

Most of us were never taught how to do that- how to truly feel and process our emotions. So if you find yourself needing extra support, please reach out to a trusted therapist or loved one for guidance.

In the meantime, if you’re willing to lean into what you feel, see what it’s like to let that energy move. Try one of the grounding practices I share here - or follow the movements and moments that bring you joy.

If you’re feeling nauseous, overwhelmed, or detached from reality - if constant headaches make you want to crawl into bed and hide - know that these are normal responses.

We live in a world filled with injustice and chaos. It’s natural to feel distress, whether through headaches, nausea, disassociation, or zoning out. What matters most is remembering that you’re not alone.

This is your reminder to care for yourself just as much as you care for others. Take breaks. Step away when you need to, and return when you’re ready. We need you - strong, grounded, and healthy. But you can only show up that way by making time to care for yourself first.

It’s hard to find words big enough to capture what John Barnes meant to me - and to so many others. His work didn’t just change the way I practice bodywork; it changed the way I live and even see the world.

John’s Myofascial Release approach serves as a bridge connecting many aspects of my life - from my transformational dance practice to years of shamanic study and time spent with Indigenous communities. I vividly remember my first seminar, when I felt an immediate sense of home in his approach. I was so inspired that I cleared my schedule for the week and signed up for the next seminar right away.

Working with the fascia - from his approach, experience and perspective - have greatly transformed the way I view and work with the human body and human being. This 3-dimensional web of connective tissue is SO much more than just a physical structure in the body. It’s the great connector of our body, mind and spirit.

As I sit here reflecting on my time studying with John over the past 14 years, many of the profound moments I remember from seminars were humorous ones that bring a smile to my face and laughter that touches my heart. John’s wisdom, humor, and kindness touched so many of us.

We all know that as humans, we’re not here forever. But some people feel like they could be. John was one of those rare souls.

He’ll live on, in our hearts, through his teachings, and in every person whose life he helped open and heal. Thank you so much for all that you brought to this world, John. RIP🙏🏼🕊️💕

A perspective on wintertime and New Year’s resolutions.

What a beautiful journey this year has been.

Women’s circles are sacred spaces - places to come exactly as you are. No masks, no fixing, no “shoulds.” Just being present, seen, and heard for who you truly are.

In circle, we remember that healing doesn’t always come from doing, but from being - being witnessed, being held, being connected with other women walking their own paths of growth and renewal.

Tonight marks our final circle of 2025, and what an honor it’s been to hold this space over the past year. Every story shared, every tear, every moment of laughter and silence has been medicine.

Here’s to the circles yet to come in the new year - to continuing to gather, heal, and rise together.

Foam rolling is amazing…but it’s only half the story.

When you release tension in your fascia, you’re not just working on one tight spot. Fascia is one continuous web, so any change in one area affects your whole body. That’s why your system needs time and gentle movement afterward to really soak in the benefits.

After deeper myofascial work (or a big foam rolling session), think: less hustle, more softness. Give yourself 24–48 hours of rest and only easy, nourishing movement so your body doesn’t snap back into old holding patterns. Slow walks, gentle stretching, mindful mobility…this is where integration really happens.

Inside my Fluid Fascia course, we always follow release work with simple, gentle movement so your body can learn new, healthier ways to move and support you. If you want to take it further, modalities like Feldenkrais or the Alexander Technique pair beautifully with myofascial release as a long-term self-care practice.

If this is speaking to you, this is your sign: today is the last day to enjoy 20% off all online courses. Give your fascia (and your future self) some love.
