If you know me you know I am fascinated by exploring humanity.

How we function (or not) and how we can support our wellbeing, growth and quality of life from an inner to outer perspective.

There are many wonderful tools I use and one of my favorites is myofascial release or MFR.

Most people have an impression that “deeper” is better and you gotta get in there and “dig” those“knots” out! Yes, some deeper directed pressure has its place but it’s not a solve all approach.
After 30 years of hands on work with a variety of different people and bodies,I have developed a keen sense that says,”this is a whole human being on my table with background and experiences all their own. They possess a spectrum of emotions, perceptions and behaviors all adding up to create a living manifestation of body, mind and spirit.”

I feel deeply committed to honoring that in people and I listen to it as a guiding voice in how I interact and serve.

I appreciate MFR as a holistic and inclusive form of bodywork (cuz we are multi faceted critters and bodywork doesn’t only affect our physical selves, thankfully 😅)Myofascial release has proved to be an effective tool for exploration, development and healing.

The foundations for getting into the healing field are kind of counter to our “up top”, “brainy” way of navigating life.

I’ve found to get there it takes helping people experience themselves in this work and that ultimately is what creates the most influence.

Explanations are surface. It’s the embodiment of the experience that brings it to life in a way that can be felt in a very personalized way.

Part of my natural internal drive is to teach and share what I have experienced and learned.

This is a short article the encompasses some of the workings of MFR.

I am also excited to be opening up more space on my personal calendar for new clients interested in beginning or continuing their self exploration through play, embodiment practices, MFR, traditional relaxation bodywork and coaching, both one-on-one and in group settings.

Feel free to pass this along to anyone you know that may be curious or receive some benefit.

As always I am available to chat and answer questions.

Cheers to your continued vitality!
Happy Friday friends!! 💜

Who else needs this today?

Reading just the left side without the right side is exactly what I have bought into for much of my life. Such a tough stressful,way to live. It created deep physical, mental, emotional and spiritual pain. Slowly caused me to lose trust in myself and my ability to navigate life in an authentic way.😮‍💨

Connecting both sides is the bigger, more complete story and where I am placing my energy these days.

Human being vs human doing.
So many rewards and reinforcement for busyness, achievement and productivity. The beautiful,sustainable rewards that come from connection, peace and presence….priceless my friends!💜

My heart says…..
Less doing.
Less worry about the past and the future.
More being.
More living in the present, valuing my unique creative contributions.

🤩Go counter and give yourself the permission to say no to more of what is asking for constantly producing, drains you or feels heavy.
Say yes to more of what feels peaceful, light, free and fulfilling.

It’s amazing what shows up when I get off the what’s expected of me merry-go-round and lean into this.🎊😎💜🙏

I have people ask me alllll the time how to eat healthier especially when life is full.

It’s true that fresh produce needs to be used quickly!

This is one of my ultimate favorite food prep hacks!
Talk about saving time and feeding yourself well! 💥
Mason jar meals are bomb at keeping foods fresh a loooong time(even better than the glass containers with plastic lids) are easily customizable and quick to take along.

No fridge, ice pack and small insulated bag or cooler.

Not only can you make salads,overnight oats or chia type concoction (depending on your needs& preferences) you can layer ingredients for soups and stir fry.

Inviting friends in on a group session is supportive fun and easy! ( hmm it’s possible I would host that if your interested)

Even though I’m comfortable and even enjoy creating in the kitchen,during the warmer months I want to spend less time thinking about and making meals yet still nourish myself well so I have the vitality to spend more time doing things I enjoy.

Cheers to good food, good freinds and warm weather shenanigans 😉

Ever have one of those days where your ♥️ and 🧠 have this little back and forth? 😳

Brain just keeps chattering away talking about the same s**t different day taking the focus off what’s really important because it thinks it knows EVERYTHING and certainly what’s best! 😮‍💨🤮

I know this well & can easily get caught up in this inner conflict especially if I’m not looking through the lens of my PERSONAL CORE VALUES.

We all have things in life we agree to show up for and some days might feel easier than others to hold to those agreements.

I’m talking when you make agreements with the imposed external values in mind. (you may not even realize this is happening)

Imposed values are often what we’ve been taught/learned through our environments & life experiences.

Let’s say deep down you really have a personal core value of self care yet somehow, you often find yourself spending most of your time doing for & taking care of others so you don’t have the time to dedicate to your self care the way that works best for you.

You might find your mind thinking things like:

~In order to be a good mom I should always put my family first
~ I should be working really hard & making sacrifices to make more money
~I should be nice. If I say what I really think it will totally p**s someone off
~ I should be eating better but it’s hard & I’m just so busy

The first clue that your heart and values have been left out of the conversation is feeling like you “should”shows up followed by a possible sense of heaviness, frustration, anger, bitterness, being tired or procrastination.

These are subtle clues & cues that what you really want & what you’re doing aren’t matching up.

The good news is that when you discover YOUR personal core values you have a clear path to the choices that are going to alleviate more unnecessary challenges creating more aligned opportunities & outcomes in all areas of your life.

Core Values set the foundation for everything you build & influence how you navigate life!
