If last week had a theme, it was this . . . there is power in the pause.
•
Whether pause in the literal sense - or pause in the figurative sense, talk of the pause kept showing up.
•
There was talk about pausing to notice the breath, to feel something specific in the body, to observe the state of the nervous system.
•
There was a recommendation to press pause on certain aspects of a movement practice for the betterment of a pelvic floor symptom.
•
I also jokingly (kinda) requested that a patient take a pause in google-searching every aspect of a diagnosis - to help prevent the kind of rabbit hold that is hard to climb out of. (That goes for ChatGPT, too.)
•
I shared with my Friday yoga class that there would be an actual pause in that class offering for a week or two, which will carry over to all of my in-person group classes, as well, due to an unexpected change in the studio space availability. (I’ll also be on vacation for part of that time.)
•
I’m using this specific group class pause to do all the things . . . reflect, rest, recover, and regroup. I’ll be back on the other side, dare I say - new and improved.
•
Stay tuned about group (in-person) classes. I’ll still be here on IG and in-person treating patients.
•
Oh and if you aren’t already there, jump on my newsletter list if you wanna stay up-to-date on all the things - and learn a little something along the way! The link in my bio and stories.

There is so much talk about nervous system regulation - and for very good reason.
•
In the pelvic health world, so much of what is being treated - pain, constipation, urinary leakage, etc. - has a nervous system component.
•
We providers can do all the complicated manual techniques and prescribe all the fancy exercises we want, but if we aren’t addressing the potential contributions of the nervous system, we are completely missing the boat.
•
And perhaps we should be talking about an adapted nervous system instead of one that is regulated.
•
If something extremely upsetting is taking place (or you are systematically being knocked down), it is 100% appropriate for your nervous system to be on high alert and dysregulated.
•
Where the rub comes in is in the inability for you to experience some sort of adaptation and recovery from that unregulated system
•
Conversely, if you are someone who is often super down-regulated and presents with Eeyore-type energy, you might benefit from tapping into the mobilizing part of your nervous system - adapting to what would serve you in the moment.
•
This post already far exceeds the number of words that folks will read on this platform, so I’ll leave it here.
•
If want to learn more about nervous system adaptation, especially as it pertains to pelvic health, stick around. It’s kinda my love language.

All of these “Is It True” statements are ripped right from my treatment space, social media, or in community presentation question and answer sessions.
•
Of course, the answer to any question related to health and wellness is usually nuanced - but rarely do solutions get framed that way.
•
So much of my time is spent helping people navigate that nuance. And I know that in an effort to mitigate the spread of outdated information, many of my health care and movement professional colleagues are doing the same.
•
Sound off in the comments by adding to my list of things you’ve been told that you later found out wasn’t exactly as it had been presented.
•
And if you are a provider or movement professional, tell me what narrative(s) you are trying to change.

Thank you for coming to my very abbreviated Ted talk.

I spent the weekend in Orlando at the with experts, advocates, and people living with endometriosis who are all working tirelessly to improve the diagnosis and treatment of this often-unrecognized disease.
•
There were plenty of great take-aways from the various presentations, panels, and didactic sessions and I’ll share more about them when I can, beyond the info shared here.
•
I was happy to be asked to facilitate a short vagus session Saturday morning before the start of the day - and I was pleasantly surprised that folks showed up at the crack of dawn for a little somatic practice. (If you were there, please DM me - I’d love to catch up with you here.)
•
This annual summit has easily become one of my favorite places to connect with a few of my favorite pelvic PT colleagues - , , , and . We get a chance to spend time together, talk shop, and routinely laugh til it hurts. We are part of the “seasoned” pelvic PT group these days - and I feel very lucky that our professional paths have crossed, and that has allowed us to become genuine friends.
•
It goes without saying that and her team have developed something special in The Endometriosis Summit. Sure, she is known to bring a little NY/New Jersey sass to the summit scene while trying to keep the faculty on task and make sure the advocates and patients in attendance feel seen and heard. But don’t be fooled for one second - her passion for changing the endo experience is at the heart everything she does and this, her life’s work, is truly making a difference.
•
If you are an endo warrior, my wish for you is to be seen, to be believed, and to get the care you need expeditiously. We’ll keep working to educate and advocate and improve your experience along the way.

I believe in building resilience in our bodies via movement, breath work, nourishment, connection, and rest.
•
That said, I often fall short in acknowledging that the admiration for “being resilient” is out of proportion when considered next to the systems in place that are forcing some folks to be more resilient just to survive in this world.
•
I’m talking about chronically ill people attempting to access healthcare, black women seeking to have a healthy pregnancy and postpartum experience, trans folks just trying to safely live their lives, children abused by powerful people who have yet to face any real consequence, humans facing poverty with no access to healthy food or safe communities, and . . . and the list goes on and on.
•
So when you catch me talking about breathwork or movement or rest to help “regulate” the nervous system, please know that I understand that all the breath work, movement and rest in the world is not going to completely heal the folks that the system is purposefully keeping down.
•
My hope is that whatever I share here can, indeed, help everyone in some small way - and that those among us that have the capacity to resist, to fight, and to change the systems. . . will do just that.

Come and learn a little bit of the nitty, gritty about the breath and why it’s such a big deal.
•
This hour long masterclass is meant to explain the connection of the breath to so many of the common pelvic health challenges we experience - bladder urgency, constipation, pain, etc. - while also covering why understanding the breath can be so helpful in improving your overall nervous system state.
•
Comment breath below and I’ll send you the link to check it out!

The breath, like the beating heart, is one of the few constants that is with us through the entirety of our lives.
•
We take upwards 24,000 breaths a day; if I’m doing the math correctly, that means we’ll take as many as 600,000-700,000 million in a lifetime.
•
That’s a lot of breaths.
•
I talk an awful lot about breathing in both my treatment space with patients and in the studio space with folks who come to practice yoga.
•
That is because I have come to know that even a little focus on the breath most often leads to positive changes in the body and the mind.
•
If learning about the breath is intriguing to you, stick around as I share some breath-related content over the next couple weeks.
•
Consider that content a primer for my March 12th live, virtual Breathing Explained Masterclass. It is geared toward health care providers, coaches, teachers, or anyone else who would like to do a deep dive of the breath and walk away with a handful of breath work strategies for a daily practice. Info can be found in my bio or in my stories.
•
That will kick off an on-going, live (in-person or virtual) breath work offering on Fridays at noon - details forthcoming.
•
In the meantime, lengthen long through your spine, inhale slowly and completely through the nose, and sigh a big exhale out the mouth.
•
How did that feel?
