When diaphragm mechanics have gone awry, your neck and back muscles will pick up the slack to support inhalation…

Often leading to neck and back dysfunction.

These 3 techniques can help you feel
1️⃣ neck relaxation
2️⃣ back relaxation
3️⃣ deeper abdominal activation

All which support a return to desired diaphragm function…. We could all use some support here 💨

I answerer a calling to upgrade my frequency this weekend… flew to Texas and immersed myself in a retreat at this oasis Open Hearts Yoga Sanctuary …

I have arrived home with more upgrades than I could have imagined…

🛡️My armor is significantly lighter, my nervous system has the sense of floating along in the ocean and I know that I surrendered a decent sized layer of control and resistance…

Through many guided journeys within, through sound healing, wind healing, land healing, light healing and gentle animal healing 🐶 🐈‍⬛

I remembered how to hold myself gently. And at moments, to feel a homecoming…

it is so hard to give up resistance and allow that reconnection but I felt it and I am patient with myself as I continue 💜

Thank you to all the wise women who guided us, and to the men and women I moved alongside, I feel our light 🌈

🪷This case showed me the power of our innate healing capacity given the tools or guidance to find it…

The emphasis of this program was on retraining faulty breath patterns from years of sitting at a desk….

🦵🏻 reminding the body how to shift weight properly onto the left leg…

which gets lost when the pelvis drifts to the right…. our inherently preferred asymmetry if we sit for long periods.

💨So yes, we reconnected to proper breath mechanics and core activation to offload the strain on the left ankle tendon….

💃 With daily committed practice and creation of new habits it was a huge success!

Root and Bloom 🪷

12 women showed up to this beautiful space last night…

Some didn’t know what they were showing up for, but they arrived with openness …

I believe in this space they found stillness, they found support, they found safety, and they cleared space for something new to bloom within.

🙏This was our largest group yet and we are grateful for the path that led us to …thank you .de and .olga.dadalko for graciously supporting us. More events to come after summer!

I am a physical therapist but not in the traditional sense.

I began my training in John Barnes Mofascial Release (aka MFR) over a decade ago and discovered through my own experience how we can access subconscious memories through unwinding of our physical bodies.

When I brought this modality to my practice, I quickly realized I didn’t have the training or capacity to guide others in processing the surfacing memories…

Until I attended a self healing retreat in 2023 and became acquainted with hypnotherapy and breathwork (aka Hypno-Breathwork).

Now 3 years later, I am in awe of the path that led me to here, creating my own version of physical therapy… where I am a facilitator of your own healing…

through the body, through the breath, and into the heart. 💜

You can see the toll it takes on the body to “carry a load”… my right neck muscle is extremely active and having to support my breathing since my ribcage is locked down on the right.

Many of the clients I see have a ribcage that is locked down and a shoulder blade that is tipped forward on the right side even though is no observable “physical” load…

“Why the right side?” That is exactly what my client asked herself when we were dropped into relaxation during fascial release to this area yesterday….

And guess what? As I held her right arm, her intuitive wisdom held the answer…. “It’s because my heart is on the other side… on the left…and I’m trying to be strong over here on the right.”

Everyday, I get to hear the wisdom that each of you carry within, I am always astonished at how quickly it comes through in a safe guided space. And how the physical tension dissolves when the emotional burden you’ve been carrying is witnessed.

😌This may be the easiest technique to implement “on the go”….. all you need is something to grab onto…

❓What is happening here?

Placing your giant latissimus dorsi muscle on stretch so you can allow it to LET GO…

💨To restore expansion of air into the side of your body, usually needed on the right....

Inhale and exhale for at least 4 breaths here… or until you feel a release in the tension followed by sense of expansion in your side…

If you don’t feel anything, try dropping your left shoulder down so the left trunk is more “crunched” together … any different?
