One of my favorite stories of, unbeknownst to her, the best “ministering sister” out there doing the best job at it! :) Lizzy Robbins (Smith)

📢 if you are the designated “peacemaker” in your family, work, friendships, know that making and keeping peace for YOURSELF is just as important, or MORE, than watching out for other people’s needs. Your intentions are good. But you should not have to feel like you’re being walked all over to try and “keep the peace” in a relationship with someone else. Your peace matters too, and that other person likely won’t put that first- you need to take care of yourself which ultimately will help the relationship or the group as a whole. Those who truly love you will respect and appreciate and understand. Those who don’t, may not be deserving of that precious time and energy! 🤟

Changing my relationship with chronic sacrum/hip/tailbone pain. Applying techniques from the book The Way Out. This week, when my spots hurt, rather than worry, stress, fear about “this is never going to go away” and “how can I fix this?” I’m just observing and noticing the pain. Beginning to plant seeds of safety that it’s okay that my body feels like this, the mind thinks “DANGER!” but my body actually is safe and healthy exactly as it is.

This ol’ RV is evidence to me that things take TIME to unfold. I mean, a lot of time!! Despite wanting it to all work out asap!!
Trust the process.

It’s hard to believe this is the same space. I love being an artist and creating in here. I see old photos and cringe because I started doing treatment when it still looked and felt like an old RV. Old dirty floor and weird wall texture. 🥴 I was embarrassed to invite people in! 😔 I had to put down my pride. But I had a vision of what it would and could be *someday.*

I bought this trailer as a means to being a mom to two kids who were having a rough time transitioning after a big move to a new house and new living situation and merging homes with “step family.” I couldn’t be away from home for too long. That pull between being a MOM and WORKING outside the home!

I prayed and said “God/Universe, I feel like this is a good thing, you want me to be healer, but I need a way to do it. Show me the path on HOW.”
This was how.
I have so much pride in myself and in this magic portal room. It is so enjoyable to watch how it develops and changes over time, growing further into itself. ❤️

My ashiatsu bars are hung!!
Total cost: about $135 in materials

*not including things I already owned like stain and sandpaper

And probably 12+ hours of time split between a few days

I’ve wanted to do ashiatsu for years. I got intimidated by the cost of everything- training, buying and installing this set up. Along with the discomfort of learning something new and not being good at it to start.
*I was told my studio space might not have enough room to fit these bars.
*I was told you’re supposed to buy a whole kit from a specialty store online or a $1,500 portable set up.
*It all scared me away for longer than it should have.
*Once I gave myself permission to just TRY it, while I knew there was a chance for it to not work out, to waste time and money… each time I practiced ashiatsu at the other clinic, I thought “…I can do this. I WANT to. And I want to TRY!” I wanted to try building what I had in mind. I’m SO GLAD I did!
*Two years ago, I began learning how to use a drill. I used an electric saw for my first time to cut wood. I truly PLAYED and stopped worrying about doing it “wrong.” I look stuff up on YouTube. I ask questions to others with more experience.
You gotta be in a headspace where it’s okay to play and try, where you expect something to not work out as being part of the process, that’s not failure- that’s just.. how it goes! You can’t know until you are in the moment learning it. Then you pivot and adjust.

I hope this inspires you to go for it and try the thing you want to try. ❤️

COME GET A MASSAGE. This is a sample from a fun free-flow massage this week. Getting to LAUGH is good for the body and soul. Saying yes to trying out moving your body in a new way, feeling safe enough to say “that feels good- and here’s what isn’t feeling good” and adjusting together. Discovering and strengthening those muscles of successfully communicating with another person. Lots o’ good here. ❤️ I’d like to do this again but not raise her up so high, and place a foot on her low back, to keep that yummy stretch in the upper body while relieving the pinch in the low back. Now I know for her next session where I can focus and try for more mobility in her upper chest/back/ribcage!

Cozy simple pillowcase eye cover for the win! Turning over after being face down feeling like you’re in a whole other world 🫪 I’ve added this into my regular routine after the client turns face up. It has been fantastic and really feels like a magic trick when you’re the one on the table. 😎 I give a heads up before removing it at the end of the appointment to allow better access for neck/occipital/scalp work. This also is a good indicator that we’re nearing the end of the appointment and for them to begin to come back to the moment, come back to their body, etc and prep for our session to finish.

PART TWO: Through my 18 years of working in dentistry, I’ve heard many people say some variation of:
“I wish I could go back and do things differently.”
Especially as they get older. They wished they had taken better care of their teeth at a younger age so they were in better working condition as they got older.
(Side note: Getting older is just.. wild. 😜
1. You’ve had and used those teeth for MANY YEARS! There’s going to be some wear and tear!! That’s normal!!
2. Some people are born with a genetic predisposition to have more issues with their teeth than average. Others hardly ever brush and have never had a cavity. We win some, we lose some! 🤷‍♀️)
My job as a dental professional is to provide patients with information so they can make the best decision for themselves about their health. A HUGE part of that is asking questions and learning about them- what do they value? What’s their stress load like? What’s their past experience been with this? Do they WANT the info or advice? Etc.

This video is an example of how asking the question of “have you considered getting braces?” And the instant response of “NO!” that turned into an ortho consultation and a happy patient who left feeling grateful for the conversation to be brought to his awareness.

I want my patient’s teeth to last them forever! As long as they need them!!

I love dental hygiene :)

Having STRAIGHT teeth is not just about esthetics. My patient today has a cracked premolar because his bite/occlusion is out of alignment. Part one of our conversation:
