“Where my head and neck meet, and my traps, are ALWAYS tight. No matter what.”

One of my newsletter subscribers sent me this, and I hear some version of it on the table every week.

Here’s what most people miss: neck and trap tension that keeps coming back usually isn’t a neck problem.

Your neck is working overtime to stabilize for something lower in the chain, like rounded shoulders, a stiff upper back, or hours spent looking down at a desk, a phone, or a baby in your arms.

So you stretch it, roll it, massage it, and it’s back by tomorrow. You treated the alarm bell, not the fire.

Swipe through to see why, and what actually helps.

Save this for your next long desk day, and send it to the friend who’s always rubbing her traps.

Comment NECK and I’ll send you the link to Fascia Foundations, my 10-class program that teaches you how to trace these chains in your own body.

Here’s the thing this influencer claimed: all you have to do to flatten your tummy, is lay on this ball.

The best part? She only showed herself lying on the ball. Not the after.

Then she went into very basic fascia statistics that are easily found on Google.

I’m not here to say she’s 100% wrong. I’m here to say that making extreme claims (to go viral) about losing the “pooch” by doing this one magic thing is extremely harmful.

Not just because it’s false but because people like this are specifically targeting an insecurity that our culture shames CONSTANTLY.

Ladies (and gents), we already live in a culture where no matter how a woman’s body looks, she can’t win.

Too soft? She’s lazy.

Too muscular? Ew. Manly.

Still holding weight in the trunk? Shame on you.

THIS HAS TO STOP

I say this all the time in my treatment room because I have seen thousands of clients over the last 7 years…

You and ONLY you are living in and experiencing your body.

The way it heals, moves, breathes, and processes big events is unique to you and you alone.

There is no room for judgement there.

Our bodies are so intelligent.

They will do everything they need to do to maintain stability for what is going on inside of YOU.

So here are the things that are true from that original post I mentioned:

1. Releasing your diaphragm will help increase fluid flow which can reduce inflammation.
2. By releasing your diaphragm, breathing mechanics can improve and the pressure system between your throat, diaphragm, and pelvic floor will strengthen and regulate.
3. This can aid in eventual fat loss by simple helping the nervous system down regulate and find a level of homeostasis (ie: safety)

What this does not do:
1. this does not burn fat.
2. This is not an overnight miracle.
3. This will not magically balance a system that took 9 months to change, expand and adapt. It. Takes. Time.

I hope this is helpful.

Your body is not broken because of how it chose to heal from growing an entire LIFE.

Not a PDF. Not a random video dump.

This is Fascia Foundations - a structured 10-class program built the exact same way I’d program a series of in-person sessions with you.

I built this because I have a fully booked practice and a waitlist, but fascia work shouldn’t be locked behind a $150+/session price tag or a 3-month wait.

You deserve to have tools in your toolbox to build a deeper connection with your body outside of my treatment room.

So I took the exact framework I use with my 1:1 clients, the same Anatomy Trains method, the same progressions, and turned it into something you can access instantly, work through at your own pace, and actually understand why you’re doing what you’re doing.

Inside:
→ 10 guided classes, structured to build on each other (not random stretches thrown together)

→ Education on why fascia work matters, not just movements to copy

→ A framework you can actually use long-term, not a one-time fix

$37. Instant access. No booking, no waitlist, no guessing if it’s “worth it.”

If you’ve been curious about fascia work but couldn’t get in with me 1:1, this is where to start.

Your body is YOURS.

If no set of DNA is the same, if no fingerprint is the same… then neither is your internal terrain and HOW your body responds to stress, threat, injury, or trauma.

You deserve to be treated as the unique individual that you are and that comes with the practitioner meeting your body where it’s at every time.

This means that logic from our textbooks gets thrown out when we use our professional eye to see the problem you, as the client, are looking to fix or heal.

If you’re searching for your perfect fit, keep this in mind! You deserve to be taken care of. ❤️

Baby carriers changed my life as a new mom, and even more so, now that I am a mom of two.

But here’s what I want you to know…

Your superficial back net is one continuous fascial line that runs from the bottom of your toes, up the back of your legs, over your glutes, all the way up your spine and over the top of your skull.

One. Continuous. Line.

When you spend hours carrying extra weight in the front of your body, which is exactly what a baby carrier does, that entire back line grips. It braces. It works overtime to keep you upright against the forward pull.

Your hamstrings tighten. Your lower back stiffens. Your mid back aches. Your neck and shoulders lock up trying to hold your head over your shoulders.

Sound familiar?

That deep postpartum ache? So much of it is due to a fascial system that is working on healing WHILE continuing to clock in for motherhood… which is 24/7. 🥴

Your body is tired and it’s healing.

This is part 2 of my fascial net series, and I’m building something specifically designed to release each of these lines at home.

Follow along to be first to know when it drops. 🖤

Drop a 🙋‍♀️ if you’ve lived in a baby carrier and felt every single one of these things.

Hi. I’ve been quiet.

Pregnancy with HG, postpartum and all the new, two kids, one business — and somewhere in there I stopped showing up here.

But here’s the thing about being a fascia specialist… I’ve felt what it feels like to abandon my body and self before, and I didn’t want to do that in this season.

Disappearing here meant that I’ve been fully present where it matters most. At home. In my office. With my kids. With YOU.

This past year taught me more about recovery, nervous system regulation, and what postpartum actually does to your fascia than anything I’ve studied.

I’m ready to share about it again, and hopefully in a new and fresh way that brings clarity, peace, understanding and support to a world that is often cloudy.

If you’re a mom whose body doesn’t feel like hers anymore — this page is about to be for you.

Nashville, I’m so back. 🖤

If you’re ready to book, shoot me a text or DM.
I’ll see you on the table 😘
