Rest and recovery is essential to building resilience and overall mental and physical health.

Ladies, rest and recovery is not often a part of your plan. I am taking care of this for you! Join me November 7th for my mini NYC women’s wellness retreat.

If you are craving a break but don’t have to plan or don’t even know what a break looks like, this day is for you.

We will move, breathe, and connect with laughter and joy and eat some delicious food along the way. You will leave with new friends and feeling rejuvenated just in time for the holiday season!

Will you join me? Head to the link in my bio for more info/registration.

DM me with any questions!!

And thank you Green Lane Coffee for keeping this business owner caffeinated!

Resilience=ability to handle and bounce back from adversity. Stressors in life are inevitable. We want to be able to recover. Luckily, resilience is not a fixed trait. It can be developed.

Some ways to build resilience:

1. Exercise-ever train for a marathon? Pretty uncomfortable. Exercise teaches us to get comfortable in discomfort. Then we stop and feel good. It builds confidence in the ability to do hard things. It also releases feel good chemicals which helps with stress.

2. Mindfulness practices such as meditation and breath work. Both bring focus to the present and calm the nervous system.

3. Quality sleep-have you ever handled life on little sleep? Not fun! Sleep helps us recover and have the capacity to better regulate emotions, make decisions, focus.

4. Nutrition-eating real food helps decrease inflammation which stress produces. It also helps our immune system be strong which we need in stressful times. A balanced diet gives us the energy to deal with life.

5. Social connection. We are wired for connecting-it is needed for good health. When we have people to share our hardships it validates our experiences. It allows us to get out emotions instead of shoving them down! Super important for recovery.

Resilience is not about getting tougher. It’s about have practices in place that allow for recovery and adaptability. Think soften!

When we can recover, we have more capacity for joy, connection, creativity. I’d much rather live there than in a state of chronic stress. It’s so worth taking the time to work on wellbeing!

The women who are in the fall cycle of pick ups, drop offs, playdates, what’s for dinner and can’t remember if they ate

The women who are done with the NYC marathon and won’t know what to do with that first Saturday without a long run

The women who are running business and are always ‘on” Time to wind down and pour into you.

The women who are not partnered and somehow manage to make it all work in this crazy city we live in. NOT EASY!

Let’s reset before the holiday madness begins!

I LOVE wellness nuggets of wisdom. Especially, when they are scientifically proven.

Having something good to look forward to helps boost mood, lower anxiety and depression, and provide focus and purpose.

And it is FUN. Take a break from the constant need to optimize!

If you are looking for something to put on your calendar that is rooted in maxxing joy and connection, join me 11/7 for my NYC MINI Women’s Wellness Retreat. Link in bio.

Spots are going fast so DM me with any questions!

PS. This is totally accessible to all my NJ and CT friends. You’ll be home for dinner :)

Seriously, though.

I have treated 1000s of badass women in my career as a physical therapist. As the health care professional they usually spend the most time with, I get to know them well. The hopes, fears, stressors and the pervasive habit of putting themselves last. Recognizing the role the nervous system and lifestyle was having in their health and wellness journey, I started to educate women in both of these areas-with great results! Less pain, more awareness, embodied, and empowered.

I love that resilience and regulation has become the rage but I’m like duh, I’ve been doing this for YEARS.

If you feel like there has been a gap in your rehab journey, I can fill in some missing pieces. Please DM ME!

If you want a day that is designed to focus on resilience, regulation, connection, and empowerment, join me in NYC on 11/7.

Movement is the key to mental and physical health. As someone who treats patients in NYC, I often get the “I don’t have time” to get to the gym. Movement does not need to be a production. Be creative how you fit it in. For example, get off the subway a few stops early and walk a bit. Those extra steps count!

Follow along for more tips on how to life a long, healthy, and happy life made SIMPLE.
