A client came to me after being told everything looked “normal”… but her body told a very different story.

I saw a client today that reminded me exactly why I love and do this work. 🧠

She came in with pain the medical community couldn’t explain, even after testing.

So instead of chasing symptoms, I assessed what her body was actually telling us.

👉 The real issue?
Central nervous system tension.
Once we started releasing that… something amazing happened.
She began yawning. A lot.
And no—it wasn’t boredom. 😉

That’s the body shifting out of stress mode. It’s a sign the nervous system is calming down and the vagus nerve is being activated—meaning the body can finally move into healing.
From there, her body led us to tension patterns down the right side.

We used simple breathing + release work on a soft ball…
And just like that, her SI joint stabilized.
Her pain was gone.

Honestly, we could’ve ended the session right there. ✌️
But we kept going, followed her body’s lead, and improved other issues in her legs too.

Later that evening, she texted me…
Still feeling great. 🤩

🔖 Save this post, so you have these 4. key points when you need them.
⭐ Pain isn’t always coming from where you feel it
⭐ Tension from your central nervous system can be the hidden driver of pain
⭐ The order you address things matters
⭐ Your body already knows the solution—you just have to listen

📣 Now I’m curious…
Have you ever had pain that no one could fully explain or fix?

I use coconut oil every day for cooking because it is so healthy & can be used at a high temperature without burning. I also love to mix it with essential oils for massaging tight muscles. What are your favorite uses of coconut oil?

What my puppy and her sister taught me about motivation… 🐶
…and why you still feel stuck (even when you’re trying) 🤔

Two dogs from the same litter.
Brought up in different homes.
Completely different motivation.

Bella? She’ll do anything for a treat 🍖
Dua? She lives for “good girl” 🐾💛
Same DNA. Different drivers.

And humans? We’re no different.
What actually motivates you?

Is it checking the box and getting it DONE? ✅
Visualizing the outcome—seeing it happen? 🎯
Money tied to a goal? 💰
Helping someone else win? 🤝
Creating something you're proud of? ✨
Or… is it something deeper? 👇

For a lot of people, the biggest driver isn’t pleasure—
it’s deciding: “I don’t want to feel like this anymore.” 🔥

And here’s something most people don’t realize…
Sometimes the things we think motivate us…
actually slow us down. ⚠️

Research (like work from Dr. Emily Balcetis featured on the Huberman Lab Podcast) shows that constantly visualizing the end result can calm your nervous system… 🧠
and reduce your drive to act.

So if you’ve felt stuck, inconsistent, or unmotivated… 😩
It might not be you.
It might be your approach.

There’s no “right” or “wrong” motivation—
but there is a right one for YOU. 💡

Are you moving toward something… or away from something right now?

If you are are like me and value staying true to yourself and your word ...
Simply TYPING YOUR RESPONSE BELOW can motivate you because you said it now you need to do it.

If this resonates with you, I’d love to hear: What’s a goal you’re working toward?

This was a GAME CHANGER for my health....

I'm incredibly grateful 🙏for essential oils and Tracey Gardner for introducing them into my life many years ago. Essential oils are the first resource I go for when I have any issues or problems to solve with my health and wellbeing. Long ago, I started with a blend of Lemon, Lavender and Peppermint to support my seasonal sensitivity to things growing and pollinating. Long term use actually strengthened my immune system and I rarely am sick. Before, I was a regular patient of the ENT MD and a regular customer of the local pharmacy. I have not been back to either since for more than 10 years! The more I study and learn about essential oils the benefits abound!

BEWARE, of purchasing essential oils online or in the store. They are concentrated and when distilled improperly, the plant material isn't handled correctly, it comes from a hybrid seed or it's laden with pesticides then you may be putting toxins into your cells whether you inhale, rub it on your skin or put it in your drink or food. For this reason alone, I only use essential oils from a company that can ensure purity and control from Seed to Seal.

Also NOTE: to get long term results one must be consistent over time in their use.

Comment if you have a great experience with essential oils. As always, I am happy to answer questions or coach you in the use of essential oils.
I've three certifications in aromatherapy techniques and continue to be a student, learning more, so I can help others be strong 💪 and healthy 🏃‍♀️‍➡️🏃‍➡️.

As people age, natural changes occur in the cardiovascular system that can contribute to rising blood pressure. Blood vessels gradually lose elasticity and become stiffer, making it harder for the heart to pump blood efficiently, which increases vascular resistance. In addition, age-related shifts in kidney function and hormonal regulation can further influence fluid balance and blood pressure control.

A controlled clinical study evaluated the effects of inhaling lemon EO on blood pressure in elderly adults with high blood pressure (hypertension). Five drops of lemon EO were applied to cotton from which the participant inhaled for 10 minutes. Lemon EO reduced both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The average blood pressure in the lemon group prior to inhalation was 154.9/95.1 and 138.0/82.2 after inhaling lemon. While the control groups before and after was 153.6/95.1 and 154.3/93.7. This suggests that inhaling lemon EO for short periods can meaningfully reduce blood pressure in elderly adults with hypertension.
