What a weekend. I’m blown away by the knowledge, skills, healing, and connections that I experienced during the first (of many) brain classes via Chikly Health Institute 🫶🏽

Being in a room full of healers like this is truly beyond words. It gives me hope for humanity to witness the amount of love, kindness, compassion, and brilliance that my colleagues and friends are sharing with the world every day. 😍

The healing that so many of us received this weekend was profound. ✨

We watched our colleague with MS walk without her mobility aid for the first time in years. 🤯

Scar tissue in my spinal cord released that held physical, emotional, and spiritual trauma layers (I genuinely am amazed at how profoundly deep the healing went).🥹

New and existing friends and colleagues held space for each other in ways that will ripple out to every human we interact with. 🫂👐🏽

We learned techniques to support SO many pathways, but the techniques for the autonomic, dopamine, and histamine signaling pathways were especially valuable! 🧠



At a time when hope feels like it is in short supply, know that humans like this are out in the world spending time, effort, money, and energy to try to make the world a better place by easing what suffering we can. ❤️‍🩹

To be among these extraordinary people and to have the privilege to serve humanity in this way truly nourishes my mind, body, and soul. 🥰

I can’t wait to continue growing my skills, honoring my power (and lineage), leaning into my gifts, and opening myself to the possibilities of what is to come. 🪷🔮🧙🏼🌄

This Friday, I’m sitting down with my dear friend .co of for a conversation that lives in the places we don’t often name out loud 🤍

We’ll be talking about the chapters of complex, chronic illness that are hard to survive—
the kind where pain consumes the body, identity dissolves, and the future feels unbearably small.

Meghan has lived through profound medical trauma and relentless pain—through moments where simply staying alive felt like a victory. Together, we’ll reflect on:

• the “worst chapter” and what life felt like inside her body
• the moment something had to change
• practices like breathwork and meditation, and how they slowly shifted her relationship with her body
• the quiet truth that even after the physical storm settles, the darkest days can still follow
• learning presence and meaning in a body that still hurts
• and how creativity, photography, and The Kintsugi Chronicles became a way to tell sacred stories of survival ✨

This won’t be polished or performative.
It will be real. Tender. And honest.

At the end, we’ll open space for shared wisdom—for anyone walking through a dark season—and invite those with chronic illness or disability who want their story seen and honored through Meghan’s work.

If you’ve ever wondered how to keep living when life doesn’t return to “before”…
this conversation is for you.

Come as you are. You don’t need to be okay to belong here 🙏🏽

May is ❤️
I shared with a new patient today that I treat EDS and related conditions not just because there is a need for it, but because both my husband and I have hypermobile EDS (and a number of co-occurring conditions).

There was a time when every day was a struggle and I legitimately thought I wouldn’t live to see my 30th birthday. I am so grateful that the days of wondering if we were going to make it are behind us. Both of us have been bed-bound and unable to work because of this illness. We are MUCH better today than we ever thought possible.

Since that VERY tough chapter in our lives, we have both earned our doctorates and started to work part time again. I am beyond proud of us and grateful every day that I can use the knowledge I gained in the pursuit of our health to now help other people.

We definitely need more Fascial Counterstrain practitioners! But if you can’t find someone near you, Craniosacral is one of my faves, I’ve seen Barral work wonders, and I also think a great lymphatic massage practitioner can be a godsend for our bendy bodies. The Perrin Technique is also becoming increasingly interesting to me!

Have you tried another type of body work/ manual therapy that you love?
