Resistance. Giving into resistance. Being with what is.

Is there an experience you've recently gone through that you felt resistance in your body? Your entire body or a specific place?

Subconscious holding patterns and habits. Guarding. Bracing. This is a body in resistance!

The MYOFASCIAL work I offer my clients is built upon softly working into the resistance of your body. During this work we encourage connection, openness and feeling what rises.

From this clients often tell me they feel more CONNECTION into their body and they feel LIGHT.

Your body is your portal. It can take you anywhere you allow it. Literally!!!

When I reflect back to my years of travel one of the biggest things I did or didn't do was think too much about it. An opportunity presented itself and I went with it. I absorbed and soaked up everything in front of me with as little thought or judgement as possible. Mostly interpreting experiences as eye opening.

((If you're interested check the comments for a couple more details about this experience. And read below for how this all relates to my work.))

As external as this all sounds there is so much to wrap back around into how this shapes my work in treatments today.

•I take you for who you authenticity are and where you are in the exact moment we are working together.
•If you connect into something uncomfortable I will be there to guide and support you as I have been there myself on the receiving end before.
•I am a huge supporter of feeling into your intuition and what you sense and feel in your body. It will get you to where you are meant to go next in your journey.
•Trust. Yes, allowing yourself to trust yourself enough to not think about outcomes and simply experience the present moment. Sensation happens before thought!
•Connecting into your body and allowing me to share your journey with you . I spent years exploring places in the world on my own. This journeying helps me journey through your body and feel into what your body is holding and wants to let go.
•And so much more that I'm still working on connecting all the dots!

Apparently I'm on this run of getting out my comfort zone in ways I've avoided. Or shall I say, ways I simply and quite easily have not even given a thought to.

In pretty much all of the myofascial release seminars I have attended I have heard the saying "you can only take your clients as far as you've been willing to take yourself."

So here I am showing up and stretching my boundaries. Here I am nudging and pushing myself to go further!

Have you done anything recently to push yourself further than your past you has wanted to go? I'd love to hear!

Secret hidden places! How fun are they to stumble upon?!

There are tons of hidden places in the world and I always feel excited when I find one.

I also get excited when exploring with a client and they tell me what they are connecting into in their body and it's a sensation or emotion they haven't noticed before.

To me this uncovering in the internal world of the body is like finding a super cool hidden place in our physical world.

Comment below and let me know if you've stumbled upon something external or internal that's a hidden place that got you excited!

It's taken time. It's taken years. Some of this proudness has taken decades.

I am a work in progress and will always be on this journey! Yes, sometimes I take breaks. Yes, when I start again I'm in full force and it's almost like I never stopped.

After I injured my back, in 2012, I wasn't able to lay flat nor lay on hard surfaces or on my stomach for many years.

When I learned to lean into the discomfort, the letting go and feeling what came up everything began to slowly change. This also wraps into my vocal expression and activation! Let it out!

Daily I gravitate to many moments of just being a human. Just being me. This is my ongoing nervous system reset. My me time!
Maybe that's walks with my dog,
or listening to how my body wants to express itself,
or creating art with nature,
or drumming,
or laying on the ground and resting,
or being in water.

If you're looking to go on your own journey and explore openness in your body I can help you. Myofascial release was and still is the "top dog" in allowing me to be able to lay flat and on hard surfaces.

As I let myself feel more physically and emotionally, as my fascial system opened up, my life shifted into more ease all the time. If you're looking for more ease in your body and life all the time don't hesitate to DM me or book a session.

Comfort zones!

Growth happens when you are willing to push yourself outside of what you normally do.

Maybe it's just slightly uncomfortable. Not too much of a big deal.

Maybe it's pushing the uncomfortable zone. You can tell your testing your limits and you also know you got this!

Maybe it's pretty damn uncomfortable. And really it's not something you want to consider.

Talking a short walk on my break was slightly uncomfortable because I'm breaking the norm of what I usually do which is stay inside.

Walking on the over pass wasn't pushing the uncomfortable zone but I know for some this definitely is. Part of this questioning I'm putting out there is understanding what makes you uncomfortable! For real!

Pretty damn uncomfortable...so the last part of my video clip I did next to someone's home and a couple people had just walked inside. I wouldn't say this was damn uncomfortable but there was a slight discomfort!

You don't grow in your comfort zones. In order to learn more about who you are and how you got to where you are; you have to take steps into the discomfort to discover what you might be missing out on!

Here's a bit of my body story.

In 2012 thought I was going to be in pain for the rest of my life. I was 29, I had fallen on a wet floor and slipped to discs in my lower back.

9 years ago last month I felt my first connection into my low back and pelvis. This connection actually happened during my first myofascial session!

I didn't know what was happening other than I felt the freedom of a 10-year old in my pelvis during that session. A door bust open and the journey began.

Over the course of the next few years I began working really hard on how to get my body to feel safe -

while walking down hills,
while balancing and walking across rocks, while simply laying in bed,
while bending over to touch my toes,
while sitting in an uncomfortable chair...

I worked on noticing when my low back would tense and then I asked it to let go of some of that tension. Starting off I felt like I let go of no tension. I did not feel a difference. Not in a session. Not on my own. Frustrating! But I knew something about what I was doing was right.

I keep going because no one but me can do this work.

One day there was a connect! I was able to let go of some of the tension and what came was even more discomfort. What??!! But I knew that this uncomfortable sensation was allowing more space in my body, it was asking my body to open up and lengthen and the length was giving pain.

It was good though, it felt right like a genuine pain and that you gotta go through this to get outta this.

The more I continued connecting inward with myself, through sessions/self-care/general mindfulness, the less pain and discomfort I left. The more encouraged I felt not only because my pain was decreasing through myofascial work but because I realized I actually have control over the tension in my body!!

Today when I feel tension building in my low back I will typically shift my body position and tell my low back to soften. I'm always amazed it does. I can literally feel my spine separating and the tissues letting go.

The above is just a tiny snippet of my experience!

Consistency.
Openness.
Tune Inward.
Show Up for Yourself.

Low back pain is no joke!

If you have pain in your lower back you might also experience every moment being uncomfortable because with every motion made it just goes straight to your low back.

Whatever you experience I got your back!!!

I came to myofascial release because my low back was always in pain. With dedication and commitment I found a way out! I know you can too.

Oftentimes I find clients with lower back pain can't stand up straight because their back is too uncomfortable. Some of them have to sit down and tie their shoes but this is still really hard! I also have clients tell me that reaching up for anything above head can affect their low back pain. Everything is connected!

Did you know that your back also has a front to it and the way to access the front of your low back is through your abdomen? Many of my clients have never received this work and also find so much relief with their lower back from techniques in their abdominal area.

Working with low back pain is dear to my heart!

If you can relate to any of this or think you can I offer 1:1 sessions that will help you shift your pain and be able to experience more body fluidity. You will be able to live with more ease!

This isn't about having someone or something fix you.

You have the ability to tap into the wisdom of your body.

Your fascial intelligence is a real thing! Fascia holds onto your memories, emotions, physical pain. Guarding patterns may be present. Maybe inflammation and tightness are felt.

Gaining the ability to deeply connect into your body at the cellular level through your fascial system will help you create a change. Through this change you will feel lightness, more ease in your body and a desire to do more throughout your day.

Book your 1:1 fascial release session to create lightness and ease in your life.

The topic of my voice has been a long thread in my fascial journey.

I often work with people that when I hear their stories I hear the story of not speaking their truth. When we keep to ourselves, when you keep to yourself, when you have a gut feeling the body will react. It will and there's no denying it.

Whether it's your voice or something else that resonates deeply to you your fascia always plays a role in how you feel.

If you're looking to explore a theme in your life whether physical, emotional, mental or spiritual the journey that can unfold with myofascial release can make your shifts possible.
