We talk about tension like it begins in the muscles

Sometimes, it begins much earlier

In the moment life becomes uncertain, the nervous system starts searching for something it can control

The neck braces
The shoulders carry
The body holds

We tighten around plans, outcomes, routines, other people.
We take on responsibility that was never actually ours

Not because we’re “controlling”

Because certainty can feel like protection

And caring can quietly become carrying

There’s a difference between loving someone and holding their fear for them
Between taking action and trying to control an outcome
Between responsibility and weight that was never ours

The body often feels that difference before we name it

So when tension keeps returning, alongside treating the muscle, it may be worth asking:

What am I gripping that I cannot control?
What am I carrying that does not belong to me?

Some things need our action
Others need our release

Let the body learn the difference 🌊

We tend to think of stress as a feeling

“I feel stressed”
“I don’t feel stressed”
“I’m fine”

But stress is also physiological

Your nervous system is constantly taking in information and deciding:
Am I safe? Do I need to prepare? Can I soften here?

& the body responds accordingly

Muscles brace
Breath changes
Digestion shifts
The jaw clenches

Sometimes we notice the body’s response long before we recognize the overwhelm underneath it

This is one of the things we love about Eastern medicine: we don’t look at a symptom as though it happened in isolation

We look at the pattern

What else changed around the same time?
How are you sleeping?
How is your digestion?
What does your breath look like?
What has life been asking of you lately?

That doesn’t mean every physical symptom is emotional. And it doesn’t mean pain should be explained away as “stress.”

It means your physical body and emotional experience are in constant conversation

& sometimes the place that hurts is only where the conversation got loud enough for you to hear it

What does your body do when you’re overwhelmed?

Jaw? Breath? Gut? Shoulders? Somewhere else?

We spend so much time looking outside ourselves for relief that we forget our bodies come with tools built in

Acupressure is one of our favorites because it’s simple, & something you can do anywhere

No equipment
No appointment
Just your hands, your breath & a few intentional moments

These 5 points are ones we come back to often:

Yin Tang - for calming the mind
Lung 1 - for grief or strong emotions that take the breath away
Pericardium 6 - when stress, anxiety or overwhelm takes over
Heart 7 - for restlessness & insomnia
Kidney 1 - for grounding

Think of these as gentle conversations with your nervous system, not forcing it, but giving it space to receive & feel safe

A few minutes of slow intentional breaths while massaging points can give the body the signals to release the grip of survival mode.

Which points are you trying 1st?!

A musician looked at us after his set and said,

“I had an amazing set, & it was all because of you.”

Another told us,

“Festivals that bring bodyworkers are festivals that care about musicians.”

Another thanked us for helping them recover from a knee injury so they could keep bouncing on stage

& someone shared that our backstage treatment space helped them get back out there at their best for the fans.

That’s the part most people don’t see

They see the lights
The energy
The crowd

We see the shoulders carrying guitars
The wrists of drummers that have played for years
The knees absorbing every jump
The nervous systems trying to find balance

For 2 days, our team had the privilege of caring for nearly 100 artists and crew at Vans Warped Tour

Sometimes that meant pain relief
Sometimes nervous system regulation
Sometimes a quiet place to breathe before stepping in front of tens of thousands of people

If an artist walks onto a stage feeling more present
more grounded
more connected to their body
completely in the zone

every person in that crowd experiences that too.

Music is medicine

It’s an honor to be part of the medicine behind the scenes

Thank you to every artist and crew member who trusted us. And thank you to vanswarpedtourlb for making space for wellness backstage

Endless love to our tiny but mighty crew. We worked nonstop, laughed constantly, danced whenever there was a spare moment, and reminded each other that healing isn’t something one person creates, it’s something we build together

Here’s to caring for the people behind the music

If you received acupuncture, massage, or cupping this weekend, do you think Warped should bring us back next year?! 🖤

One of the biggest misconceptions about mental health is that there’s some point where you finally arrive.

You heal.
You do the work.
You regulate your nervous system.
You learn healthier patterns.

And then, you’re done.

But that’s not really how it works.

Some of the mentally healthiest people we know still get anxious.
Still overthink.
Still feel grief.
Still have seasons that require more rest, more support, and more softness.

The difference isn’t that they’ve figured out how to avoid struggle.

The difference is that they’ve built tools, awareness, and capacity before life asks them to use them.

That’s the heart of preventative care.

It’s why we exercise before we’re weak.
Why we brush our teeth before we have cavities.
Why we tend a garden before it becomes overgrown.

Mental health is no different.

The goal isn’t to never struggle.

The goal is to have the tools to move through it when you do.

One of the tools I come back to when life feels heavy is my Nervous System Reset guided audio

I created it for the moments when anxiety is spiraling, your mind won’t slow down, or everything feels bigger in the moment

Comment TOOLS and I’ll send you the link ❤️‍🔥

The nervous system learns through repetition

Not just through trauma
Through patterns
Through what the body experiences over and over again.

Jaw tight before anything even happens
Shoulders already braced
Breath shallow without realizing it

Not because there’s danger in the moment
Because the body learned to expect it

Over time, the body adapts around what is repeated:
• stress
• tension
• suppression
• survival

But the same thing is true for healing

Safety repeated becomes regulation
Presence repeated becomes transformation
Stillness repeated becomes familiarity

This is the science of neuroplasticity
The nervous system is always listening to what you practice most often.

Which means patterns can change.

Not through one deep breath.
Not through one meditation.
Not through one session.

But through returning, again and again, to experiences that teach the body something new

• safety
• connection
• rest
• awareness
• joy
• being fully present

The body remembers repetition.
And healing works the same way.

Yes stress is happening in the mind

& after enough time, the body shows patterns of carrying it too

In TCM, chronic stress isn’t viewed as one isolated issue. It’s seen as a pattern that slowly changes the way different organ systems function over time.

Fear drains the Kidneys
Suppressed frustration stagnates the Liver
Worry weakens the Spleen
Grief compresses the Lungs
Prolonged vigilance unsettles the Heart

And eventually, the symptoms stop feeling random

Sleep changes
Digestion changes
Breathing changes
Cycles change
Energy changes
Even the way we move through the world changes

The body adapts to the environment it’s been living in

That adaptation is intelligent
But it was never meant to become our permanent state

The beautiful thing is:
the body can learn safety too

It can soften
Restore
Regulate
Repair

The same body that learned survival
can learn peace again

Grief needs somewhere to go. So does fear, worry, indecision, doubt

In TCM, every yin organ has a yang partner, the part of you that acts on what you feel instead of just holding it. Your stomach receives. Your small intestine sorts. Your gallbladder decides. Your large intestine releases. Your bladder stands guard

Most days, this system runs quietly in the background. We don’t think about it, we just feel it, as a knot before a hard conversation, or a low back that won’t let go, or a decision you can’t seem to move on

The body processes & stores information. Not because something’s wrong with you. Because it hasn’t finished yet

Here we go through to see where each system lives, what its overload feels like, and how we work with it

Most people don’t think of irritability as exhaustion

Or jaw tension
Or feeling emotionally full from carrying too much for too long

In TCM, spring is connected to the Wood element: the liver + gallbladder system

This system is responsible for movement.
Not just physically, emotionally, mentally, energetically.

When things stop moving, they start accumulating

Sometimes that looks like:
• irritability without knowing why
• headaches that keep returning
• PMS flares
• decision fatigue
• resentment
• feeling stuck in a life you already outgrew

The liver wants flow
The gallbladder wants clarity
And your body will usually tell you long before your mind catches up

This is why movement matters: breathwork, stretching, acupuncture, crying, creating, changing your mind, finally having the conversation

Suppression has weight. The body carries it.
