Does it seem like your body flares for no reason or after the (seemingly) smallest thing? There’s a reason ⤵️

It’s called The Threat Bucket - and we all have one (or are one).

For our whole life, moments & events have been adding into our bucket & when it gets to be too much, our bucket overflows and lets us know with pain, anxiety, fatigue, or illness (or more).

So what do we do? We look at what we can control, what we can work on - because not every stressor can be eliminated (unfortunately).

By decreasing the load, we improve your capacity - allowing for more progress, tolerance, & life.

Has Lyme Disease caused you to always feel on, anxious, & disconnected from who you once were?

Three steps to try today:
1. Straw Breathing - 2 nose breaths in & one long mouth exhale.

2. Neuro Retraining Exercises - these work deep, targeting the origin. We change the body’s input to change the output. Meaning less tension, less adrenaline - more ease & calm.

3. Stop the guesswork & book a call today. Your body needs a plan & there’s a reason the saved folder of generic exercises isn’t working — it’s not built for your nervous system, which is as unique as your fingerprint. From someone who’s been there from yeaaaaars of Lyme & Bartonella - let’s get you back to yourself.

Comment ‘CALL’ and I’ll reach out personally to chat about your journey.

DOG OR CAT OWNER? You need to know this‼️

Routine checks are just as important on your furry friends as for yourself - often ticks can hitch a free ride into your home - or your bed - from your animals without you even knowing.

So how do you start?
1. Ticks climb up - start at the bottom and go to the top of your animal
2. Check the hot spots - ears, nose, armpits, privates, toe pads

Brush the fur in the opposite direction that it grows, use tools like a hook brush (comment BRUSH for the link!) or TiCK MiTT & have proper tick removal tools handy (tick spoon, Tick BYTES ) - because yes it DOES matter if you get the whole tick or not.

When movement is your life, joy, processing & more - when Lyme Disease takes it from you, what happens next?

I asked myself that same question, wondering if I’d ever get back to my favorite sport, play collegiate soccer, ever run my half marathon goal, hike with family, or bike around the lake again.

Movement brought a racing heart rate, panic & air hunger, tremors down my arms, and fatigue & muscle pain that would last for days. Movement & being an athlete was my whole identity & I refused to let it be gone for forever.

So I did the research, the guesswork & the trial & error - so you don’t have to.

How to:
• rewire the systems to find safety (not symptoms) in movement
• how to pace & identify the body’s current capacity
• how to modify the workouts for success
• how to build a strong foundation to prevent the flare
• how to get back to life & find freedom in movement

If you’re ready to begin again, you’re in the right place. Comment LIFE & let’s chat about getting you back to the life you dreamed about!

After years of battling symptoms, advocating for people to understand you, and constantly analyzing symptoms and working on solving your own puzzle… often finding out it’s Lyme Disease is only the first step.

Next comes treatment, and then the hardest step of all, teaching your body that it does not need to protect you anymore, the main threat has passed.

The symptoms of anxiety, neck & shoulder tension, and air hunger you originally thought were from Lyme - have stuck around & continue to prevent you from doing what you love, with who you love.

If you’re ready stop missing out on memories because of stubborn symptoms, comment “ALERT”

Exercise doesn’t always mean training, it means more LIFE.

Because the goal isn’t to become really good at doing exercises in your living room.

It’s being able to:
→ Take the hike you’ve been dreaming about
→ Play with your kids without needing days to recover
→ Travel without your body crashing
→ Get back in the gym without fear
→ Walk the dog and still have energy afterward
→ Say YES to the things that actually matter to you

That’s why mobility, regulation, and proper breathing matter.

We’re not just focused on how your body moves.

We’re teaching you how to move, recover, and handle more so you can start expanding your life again.

Because after years of chronic illness, getting your life back isn’t about pushing harder.

It’s about rebuilding capacity without constantly sending your body into a crash.

What would YOU do if your body could finally keep up with the life you want?

You’re tired of going from specialist to specialist, & still having lingering symptoms from Lyme Disease.

Sometimes it’s not another supplement, but to start with the foundations - breath, nervous system, and relearning movement in a way the body recognizes safety.

If everyday brings you:
• persistent anxiety or feeling on edge
• disconnect between your body & brain
• constant neck & shoulder tension
• air hunger or taking a good breath in
• grief over the “old you”

You’re in the right place - you may just need an approach that’s built for you body, and one that’s as unique as your pain, journey & nervous system.

Lyme Warriors: Constant tension that never seems to ease up?

Try this out ⤵️
• Pick a movement to test (neck range of motion for example), find visual landmarks to notice your range, or rank your pain or tension 0-10
• Choose an exercise (1 or 2)
• Reasses movement - better, worse, or unchanged? All of this is information - and gives a window into how your nervous system is interacting with the world.
• Try out the other exercise!
