Cupping can be a very effective way to treat soft tissue tension at home as well as in the treatment room. The basics of using silicone cups and pump cups are easy to learn and the cups are quite affordable. Plus, they are fun!

Let me know if you have any questions!

If you're pregnant, cupping can still be great but please research contraindicated points first.

Feeling overwhelmed? Our community has been through a lot in the last week.

If you have a few minutes and would like to try a short, simple practice that can foster a calmer nervous system and a sense of connection to your core (physically and beyond) please check out this video... And let me know what you think!

This video demonstrates a simple approach to a calmer and more cent...

Feet are easy to ignore when they're hidden away in shoes, yet they're literally our foundation.

How well do you know your feet? How connected does the rest of your body feel to them?

The typical human foot has 33 joints—a lot of movement packed into a small area. Human feet are also richly supplied with sensory nerves, constantly gathering information about the surfaces beneath us and helping our bodies organize movement and stability. Do your feet get to experience a variety of surfaces and movements, or are they more like bored dogs watching life through a window?

Over the past few years, I've enjoyed exploring and learning about the role our feet play in the way we move. Over the coming weeks, I'll share a few observations from my own experience, my work with clients, and questions I'm still exploring. I'd love to hear what you've noticed about your own feet, too.

Stay tuned!

Tai chi walking drills may not cut your weight in half in a month or give you overnight six-pack abs... but here's what they can help with:

• Better stability and balance
• Greater body awareness and control
• Stronger single-leg stability
• More ease and efficiency of movement
• Learning to relax under stress
• Reconnecting with parts of your body that aren't pulling their weight

Curious? Join us for a free class this Saturday at 9:00 a.m. during the Farmers Market (weather permitting). We'll be on 's patio. We'd love to have you!

Fear of certain movements can quietly shape our lives. Are there any movements you avoid? How might that affect your confidence, your health, or activities with loved ones?

Last summer, while completing a fitness coaching program, I found myself working on handstands. Having experienced vertigo, I'd avoided inversions for years. Within a couple of weeks, that fear disappeared. By the end of the program, I could hold a handstand long enough to earn my certification. Along the way, my shoulders and back became stronger and more mobile, and even my motion sickness lessened.

Our bodies and brains are remarkably adaptable when we appropriately challenge them!

If you're not sure where to begin, I'm happy to chat. Message me for a free consultation—or just join me on the patio

That unruly patch of green on the left is comfrey—a wonderful medicinal garden plant.

I've had excellent results using comfrey compresses for some gnarly sprains, bone bruises, and other injuries. Most recently, a client recovering from bruised ribs found it very helpful.

Interested? Help yourself to a few comfrey leaves from my office garden (pictured here)!

Learning about the energetic proprieties of food and herbs was one of the most helpful aspects for my training in shiatsu school. It honestly transformed my health!

Instead of cold food and drinks (which inhibit nutrient uptake and don't actually cool your body), consider increasing energetically cooling things such as mint, lettuce, cucumbers, melon, etc.
