Feeling like your body isn’t on the same page as you? 😣
I can understand your frustration!

Over the past four and a half years I’ve dealt with long covid, Round Up (herbicide) poisoning, menopause, and more.
I’ve had to do a ton of research.
I’ve learned from multiple practitioners.
Food reactivity, chemical sensitivities, histamine intolerance/MCAS.
Steroids, supplements, peptides.
It’s all been part of this journey.
Now I’m bringing what I’ve learned to you.
My hope is that what I have learned and continue to learn will be helpful for you. ❤️

Stay tuned.

Forget those mayos with the bad oils - we’re going to make our own! 🥣

Prep Time 10 minutes minutes
Total Time 10 minutes minutes
Author Rachel Ballard

INGREDIENTS
1 egg yolk at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice (use a real lemon) 🍋
1/4 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
3/4 cup avocado oil (I ran out and used olive oil for half)

INSTRUCTIONS
• In a blender add the egg yolk, lemon juice, dijon mustard, salt, and vinegar. Blend briefly in the food processor, blender, or with a whisk to combine. I used my hand mixer.

• With the blender running or while whisking rapidly, slowly add the oil just a few drops at a time until the mixture starts to thicken. If you have a food processor with the small hole in the food chute you can add the oil all at once and it will drip in.

• Pour in the oil in a steady stream and blend until the mayo reaches a spreadable thickness–1 to 2 minutes at the most. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 2 weeks.

* Next time I’ll add some flavor with spices or siracha!

Newer client in her eighties.
Back pain was what got her looking for help. 😣

If you look, I have stuff all over.
I can get pretty creative with the Pilates system.
Today we worked on fundamentals, bridging, using the standing arm springs to stand up taller and straighter, better loading the weight of the body.
We did some marching - practice picking up the feet.
We did some standing arm exercises with small weights. Great way to work on using her abdominal muscles to stabilize her back while standing upright and working on arm strength all at once.
We did some squats while using the Cadillac for support.
We ended with her draped over the barrel, allowing the back to decompress.
I asked for feedback with every exercise - I want to make sure she’s doing okay, especially with back issues.
She patted the barrel like an old friend when she got up.

I asked how she felt at the end of her session.
She gave me a big smile and said “good”.

She’s been doing her homework - I have videos parked on YouTube that make it easy to know what you’re doing on your own.

She’s already making progress!

Don’t think you can’t get stronger and feel better, even if you’re older or dealing with pain issues.
You can, especially in private sessions where we focus on you.
You just need to be willing to try. ❤️

When one of your eighty eight year old clients tells you that you should write an article about how getting older isn’t for the weak of heart, you should listen to her. 😉

I included exercises most people will be able to do at home with guidelines for those on walkers as well.

Want to keep your quality of life as you get older?
You need to fight for it! 🥊

Pilates is training for LIFE.
That includes the bathroom! 🚽

I have had several clients recently talking about how their older family member ended up with a UTI because they weren’t wiping properly. 😬

If you’re familiar with seniors and UTIs, you know they can present with some crazy symptoms!
These family members ended up in the hospital!

Ladies, especially, we need to keep practicing rotation!

We don’t do a lot of turning from the waist in our modern lives. ⬅️🤷‍♀️➡️

We do work on turning in Pilates. 🔁

Maybe it’s time you included Pilates in your life BEFORE you risk becoming a UTI story. 😉
Your family will thank you for taking care of yourself!

How to get a little extra while covering one of the doors during service. 💪

Have I mentioned that I volunteer with the security team at my church? ✝️
Coming up on two and a half years with one of the best groups of people I’ve ever gotten to spend time with.
We cover everything from first aid to potentially scary situations.
We train regularly and serve together every week and for special events.

Thankfully quiet morning during service at the door I was covering today. 🙌

You’ll see my head turning - I’m watching the parking lots as I get in a few push-ups.
Down the stairs, look around, up the stairs, look around.
Always vigilant, but nothing says you can’t get a little extra workout in wherever you are. 😉

Side note: always check the stability of any handrail you’re going to use.
Ours is tight - our facilities people are the best! 🧰

First session with a new client this afternoon. 🎉

Mid-eighties. Sharp. Concerned about balance, strength, supporting arthritic joints.

Being in your eighties is not about sitting around and giving up your independence.

It is about proactively taking care of your body and mind so you can get the most out of life.

I love that I have an increasing number of octogenarians as clients.
They understand what’s at stake.

I have availability if you know someone who is determined to stay as independent as possible.

Let’s help to keep our older friends sharp and moving!

Intuitive Healing ❤️‍🩹

We begin with breathing exercises, prayer, and a guided meditation.
I leave you to continue breathing and to go where the session takes you.
Meanwhile I pray over you. ✝️
I ask for guidance.
From there, if you are okay with touch, I do hands on energy healing.

I am a certified Usui and Holy Fire Reiki Master.
My sessions have shifted a bit as my own faith journey has shifted me.
Clients who have done sessions with me years ago and more recently tell me the recent ones are more powerful.
It’s not me, it’s Him. ✝️
I’m just happy to get to be the hands and feet that help you.

Schedule a session.
Make time for YOU. 💜
