Feel free to follow me as I continue to heal and learn more about trauma recovery, invisible illnesses and resilience.

The SAFE Method Two years ago, my life changed after a motor vehicle accident. I went from running a full-time manual osteopathic / massage practice and living inside a body I trusted… to navigating post-concussion syndrome, PTSD, panic attacks, sensory overwhelm, and a nervous system that no long...

A little update from me, and a New Year’s wish.

I’ve had a few kind check-ins lately, so I wanted to share where things are at.

I’m not seeing clients right now.

I don’t have a return date yet, and that’s intentional. I’m taking the time I need to listen to my body, pace myself carefully, and make sure that when I do return, it’s in a way that’s sustainable and safe — for me and for the people I work with.

Healing hasn’t been linear, and capacity can change from day to day. Right now, this pause is part of doing things honestly and responsibly.

As we step into the new year, my wish for you is this:

That you learn to listen to your body with a little more trust and a little less pressure.
That you remember rest isn’t giving up — it’s an important part of healing.
And that you know pushing through or ignoring early signs doesn’t always shorten recovery; sometimes it quietly asks the body to carry more for longer.

Healing isn’t a race, and it doesn’t move in straight lines. Small pauses, honest pacing, and responding sooner can make a real difference.

Thank you for the patience, care, and understanding you continue to show me. It means more than I can say.

When there’s an update to share, I’ll post it here.

Thank you for your patience and understanding over the past year. I had hoped to return to work by August 10, but my recovery is still ongoing. I’m not yet able to take appointments, and I will share an update when I have a clearer return date. I truly appreciate your continued support and kind messages during this time. 💙
