Half a day into NACFC 2025 here in Seattle, and my mind’s already buzzing with insights.

One big takeaway: in Europe, Australia, and Canada, physical therapists are much more involved in teaching and treating patients with breathing techniques. In the U.S., that’s usually done by respiratory therapists. One speaker said something that really stuck with me—it doesn’t matter who does it, as long as patients learn the right techniques and stay engaged in their care.

Another eye-opener: in Canada, vests for airway clearance aren’t used as often, partly because of cost and accessibility. Meanwhile, in the U.S., vest therapy is the norm.

And with the advances in modulator therapies, many patients who qualify are becoming healthier and producing less mucus, which sometimes leads them to skip their breathing routines altogether.

As a physical therapist, I’d love to be more involved in this area, teaching and integrating techniques like ACBT (Active Cycle of Breathing Techniques) and AD (Autogenic Drainage). Even though vests are still essential for many, there’s real value in knowing how to use methods that don’t rely on equipment. Research shows high-frequency chest wall oscillation (what the vest provides) works just as well as manual chest percussion, so having multiple options helps tailor care to each patient’s needs.

What about you, have you seen shifts in how your team approaches airway clearance or breathing technique education?

I’m guided to make this rose moon water tonight . . .

3 cups water with 33 dried rose buds under the light of the Super Flower Blood Moon + Lunar Eclipse . . .

I don’t always perform rituals but I’m getting a strong nudge to do this tonight . . .

I’m all for simple and meaningful . . .

I will post more tomorrow . . .

“The lunar eclipse, which will be visible from Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific and the western part of the Americas, begins Wednesday at 4:47 a.m. EDT (0847 GMT) and will last about five hours from start to finish. The total phase of the eclipse, when the moon is covered in Earth's blood-red shadow, begins at 7:25 a.m. EDT (1125 GMT) and lasts 14 minutes 30 seconds.” - space.com

Create some space for yourself tonight . . . it doesn’t need to be complicated . . . just allow what comes through . . . And stay present to BE . . .

We are called to release our fears and get enough rest, as this is a very intense time, with energies amplified . . . what was in darkness now gets illuminated so it can be released . . . All of those who choose to get into this ascension vortex fulfill what has been coming, and many of us have prepared for it, to shift us all to the new paradigm of light . . .

Be gentle with yourself and those around you, and take extra care of your body which is your vessel to fully express the fullness of your being . . .

The light in me honors the light in you 🙏🏻🤍

When I first practiced MYT, I was opened to a whole new Yoga experience . . . it’s like something just clicked and a deeper understanding of my own body, my energy, my patterns, my tendencies, my preferences and my avoidance of different movements and actions big or small . . .

The coolest thing, at least for me, is because of my professional training which is greatly influenced by Western medicine, and my own culture, fascination and immersion in Eastern medicine, I have found the bridge that connects the two different and complementary ways of healing.

My interest in science and belief in different philosophical views keep me on my journey of constant learning, evolving, practicing and experiencing life in many different ways with ever changing perspectives.

I am blessed to have found, have been taught and continue to learn about this practice. I take what makes sense to me, and allow myself the space to dive deeper or be where I’m at in any given moment without forcing anything.

I would love to be able to share this with those of you who are called . . .

If you have read this far, maybe this is your sign . . . will you answer this invitation? I hope you will! And do let me know . . . I’m just a dm away.

Thank you 🙏🏻 I appreciate your time and your presence 🤍

The Void . . .

I usually pull more than one card, but this time, the first card I got says it all . . .

Allow space . . .

In your life right now . . .

Be gentle with yourself . . .

Harmonize from within to begin . . .

In the shadow of this new 🌚 in ♉️ . . .

Plant the seeds . . .

Your intention matters most now . . .

Take care of you as you start anew . . .
