Is Restore Your Core® new to you?
Have you been curious about what drives me as a movement teacher?
Hope this post gives you a bit of an answer to your questions about what you can expect in a class or session or workshop with me!
Let's play, explore, and move together!

I inherited two postpartum stories that were inherently contradictory (as cultural stories often are):

1. Postpartum is nothing. Just a blip. Not even something to think about, prepare for, or care that much about.
2. Postpartum is scary. It can turn normal people into monsters.

How did these stories play out for me? Well, because I believed that both of these stories were true, when I started to have my own dark thoughts and explosive emotions, I certainly wasn’t going to talk about them with anybody. I was NOT going to let others see the monster I had become, who was full of seething hot rage and crippling grief. So instead, I kept it hidden. I talked to no one, not even my husband. I would show the world the face it wanted to see. I would fulfill the “postpartum is nothing” stereotype and just bounce back into life.

It took me five years to admit I had experienced Postpartum Depression. It took me another five to unpack it. And that was just one of four births—each one took me into different parts of my shadow-self.

By naming my stories—the lies I had mistaken for truth—I was reclaiming my postpartum. I no longer believe the stories I was told, and I’ve written a new one.

Next month, I’m cohosting a postpartum stories workshop. I want to help you discover and articulate the unspoken stories that you’ve inherited around postpartum and give you the resources you need to expand or re-author those stories to invite new interpretations.

Our postpartum is only as meaningful as our story allows it to be.

New short movement practice now up on my YouTube! This one feels soooooo good right before bed (or whenever you want a short, nourishing, full body flow-y movement exploration). 💞 See link in the link place of my bio to find my YT channel, subscribe, and have fun moving with me whenever you like!

I love learning. And learning so I can better support others on their own healing adventure? Even better! I am excited to share more as I re-engage with the Restore Your Core® teacher training content with the newly added content.

I would love to work with a few pregnant clients during this process (at a deeply discounted price). If you know of anyone who may be interested, feel free to share my info. with them. 🥰

Oh how I needed this cloudy, cool, rainy walk by the rushing waters today. And yes, they are orangey-reddish colored because of the heavy rains washing dirt down from the mountains! 💞

Let's explore a figure 4 stretch!

I know this is long and has a lot of words. Feel free to watch it and then explore on your own! This is simply an invitation to connect and breathe and move with some compassion and curiosity and intentionality. 💞

If lying on the floor is not accessible today, you can do this lying on a bed, sitting in a chair, or (for a more challenging option) while in a wall sit position.

If you are open to sharing, I would love to hear what came up for you in this practice! Let me know in the comments, a DM, an email, or a text message (contact info on my website and in my bio.).

I love a simple meal. This one had very little hands on prep time and meets our needs for easy to digest protein and veggies as the season shifts from warm to cool. Seasonal shifts can have an impact of what nutrients we need and how we need our food to be prepared. Have you ever noticed that your body wants different things depending on the season?
