The world is crashing and burning but at least we can find peace within it.
Finding support when it’s tough, leaning on those around you, that all there really is.
The relationships around us deeply impact the relationship with self.
The relationship with self is deeply impacted by communication with self.
The dialogue and language you use to refer to your body is half the battle you think you are fighting.
Yes chronic pain exists and health conditions exists.
But the words you use to refer to your body as this thing that is separate from you and that it’s just a problem to be delt with or taken somewhere to be solved, that’s a problem.
It’s sends messages to your body that isn’t not going to be treated with unconditional love. That there is something wrong with it.
Then it will continue to ‘act up’ and work against you because it’s not being treated as part of the whole human experience.

Once we step out of simply the intellectual space, and honor the preset senses around us and within us, the more fluid our life becomes.

The more understanding happens, the more grace within grief there is, the more free joy can follow it.

Change happens at the darnest times!
Not always when you are ready but always when it’s supposed to.
I can resist change for a bit of time but that just leads to difficult and stagnant force which limits capacity for being in the present moment.

Every time I resist change I make my life more complicated and less in flow with the universe

When the pain gets great enough is often when real flux happens,
This time I can take the right risks when I need to before the pain even happens!
What a blessing it is to have learned how tools to navigate this life this time around!
Cheers to moving up with a handicap accessible studio which is actually climate controlled in the whole building !!☺️

Self care looks different each day.
Sometimes it’s being surrounded by community, sometimes it’s taking space to reconnect with your inner space.
Sometimes it’s loud, sometimes quiet

If you didn’t know, I’ve been obsessed with tomatoes since I was a kid so when I found this farm stand with heirloom tomatoes like the ones we used to grow on the farm my inner child lost it and went ape s**t.

Sometimes self care is nourishing your stomach with foods that give you energy, foods that make your brain light up.
That doesn’t have to be tomatoes for you😂

A snickerbar is self care if it feeds your soul.

The Balance is always shifting and continuing to find new ways of doing and living just by being and observing.

This is a no brute force practice.
We do deep tissue, we do trigger point release, but first and foremost we list to how the client is when they first come in.
We slowly move through layers to get to hidden tissue that was trying to not be obvious.
This is why I don’t advertise as a deep tissue therapist because many people read that and want to be stabbed with my elbow with 50lbs of pressure.

The reality is often if people think the only way to get your body to respond is by force, and then only seek that out, in those cases I’m not the massage therapist for you.

If you can’t feel anything unless it’s 50lbs on your arm there are other parts of you to be tended to.
Often due to trauma or muscles being overloaded from having pain and people ignoring it.
When we ignore something in our body and then it ‘goes away’ ina day or three, that’s not addressing anything.
It’s simply your nerve signals understanding they aren’t going to be paid attention to so they give up sending the pain signal.
Overtime that build up literally means your nerves are not going to immediately respond to a variety of pressures because you’ve been telling your body to shut itself off from those nerve signals.

I can go on a whole tangent but I’ll save that for another day.

The point is we address the entire system. Whether we are talking about what’s going on in the session or the client is simply feeling the presence of their body recalibrating and communicating with itself, the work is always doing what needs to be done.

Yes we do deep therapeutic work. But only when your body allows us to and only if it says that’s what it needs.

We can make monumental change by holding points and just allowing the body and mind to feel safe to relax into the work, then we keep moving through layers, bit by bit.

If you are ready to step into a new place please reach out, I’d love to help☮️🕊️

Doing some focus work on a good friends’ carpal tunnel syndrome that’s been through surgery. The approach is slow, patient, and requires some checking in when working with scar tissue/restricted fascia(connective tissue).
Nerve impingement can be complex if there are multiple point in the body where restriction may be, the median nerve innervates from the cervical spine through shoulder girdle, elbow, then wrist; detailed video for the visual learners:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSls4MWv3MQ

Traditional Carpal tunnel is due to a compressed median nerve. Those reasons could be structural(skeletal), muscular, and a mix of emotional or repetitive or acute use.
The ulnar nerve and radial also innervate by the wrist so a complex case may have overlapping compressed nerves.
There’s also other syndrome commonly mistaken for carpal tunnel which can bring even more confusion for people when seeking help.
I’m not a Dr so I can’t diagnose, but I can suggest and give my best assessment with the assessment tools and palpating that I’ve been practicing for 8 years.
Each case is a new project to help get shown where sensations or lack of function may lay.

The beautiful part of fascia work is that is requires slowness and listening to the tissue to move when it’s ready.
This work is only for those who feel ready.
Ready to step into stillness.
Into change,
Into a new way,
Into finding the reason they want to keep trying

When days are full body’s and minds get tired and there are so so so many rich ways to care for ourselves.
Movement is just one of them and it’s integral to mine.
Getting in touch with what’s alive in my body gives me the know knowledge of what nexts steps are, or need for no action at all.

When I go into sessions I don’t exist, when I’m in that deep state of flow I’m just there helping show what’s alive in someone else’s body.
It’s a beautiful and cool experience but it also means I need to care for myself extra hard on longer days. Maybe even take a day or two off after to refill my own cup.

My priority has to be fill my own cup otherwise I cannot serve.
Some days I get that balanced out, other days I thrive on the thrill of seeing how much more I can help.
But I always know I have to come back to myself at the end of the day and remember what I’m here to do.
To follow the path, find balance where I can, and enjoy the fu***ng ride that is life.

I met so many amazing people yesterday at the Hocking Hills Alien Festival!
Thank you Full Moon & The Crow for gathering such a great event!
So so many fantastic human and non human 😉exchanges.
I’m so lucky and greatful to have a place called home in my own body and find other people who’s spirits light mine up.

There’s so much more to this experience than the eye can see and I get to experience that beauty everyday.

It becomes a beautiful exchange of understanding without explaining and seeing without being shown.

I never chose the path and boy am I glad I’m not the one that creates it.
It’s become so much bigger than me.
That’s why I choose to keep following the unmarked path.

The joys are so much greater and bigger than if I force my hand.
Let things be and they will fall into place.

The work I do gets to be its own living being.
The experience of just existing and allowing creative expression with unattached love has been an insane journey and will continue to be one.

I guess I should mention I’m doing more businesses like things here in the next month and getting help with digital things that I don’t have the patience for is one of the things that may be going through to another phase!

I’ve been suggested to write a blog, but we’ll see when that happens since it always takes me a bit to actually take a suggestion to heart.
But there’s some top secret super exciting news to be announced once it’s time and I’m so so ready for this change!
It’s been in the back of my mind for a while and I’ve just been waiting patiently till the time was right ☺️

Another exciting event I get the pleasure to help support! So excited for the journey!
