Ambers Holistic Help

10/17/2026

I would have never thought my nervous system could handle NYC.

But, after years of healing work and daily practice, I not only “handled it”, I had a blast! And, only had an MCAS flare once…and it was mild…and food induced.

Sure, I was pretty tired when we got home, but a week in NYC with 20k + steps of concrete walking would do that to most 49 year old introverts 🤣

But, rather than fueling up on caffeine and pushing through, like the previous version of Amber would have done, I’ve taken things real easy since getting back….and bumped up my supports….

Early to bed.

Thai chi instead of weight lifting.

Lots of nutritious food.

Focused daily Somatic practices.

Decreased media (that’s why I haven’t posted much).

I am always in awe of how far my beautifully protective nervous system has come. And, if I can get here, so can you!

One of my clients recently told me this was one of her favorite somatic tools. She said it helps her calm down when she’s spiraling into anxiety….when things just feel like too much.

So, here it is for you to try. It’s a reminder that somatic practices don’t have to be complicated. You just have to do them…and then keep doing them.

I like to do at least 5 slow deep breaths while I flap my “wings”. Stay here longer if you need 🦋

If you’d like to work with me one-one in-person or online follow the links in my bio to schedule a somatic healing consultation.

Some days I help people on their healing journey, other days I do behind the scenes business stuff.

I prefer the days I work with people 🤣

New website coming soon…like very soon. Stay tuned 💫

Turn up the volume and sink into the sounds of nature.

Deep slow breathing is one of the easiest and most powerful somatic practices. Breath is so powerful and it’s with you all the time.

This is actual footage of me stopping to take a breathing moment during my first hike of the fall season🍂.

Breath is our protector. Breath is our ally. Breath is life.

…or your low back…or your jaw…or your belly….feet, etc.

Stress mostly lives in the body, not the head. And, that’s the stress that has the biggest impact on your overall health!

You might be able to convince people that you’re “fine”, but your body knows what’s really going on.

Reach out if you’d like help connecting your mind and body so you can truly live your best life 🙏🩷

You need to do this if you’ve been hunched over any way today…driving, doing bodywork, sitting at a computer, looking down at your phone….

1. Find a bed, chair, yoga ball, or a massage table.

2. Flop over it backwards, letting your arms and legs stretch out.

3. Close your eyes and breathe - deeply and slowly.

A minute is all it takes, but stay here longer if you can.

Breathing, while gently stretching is an easy way to remind your nervous system and your whole body that you are ok. And, for those of us who spend a lot of time with our arms forward, we get the added bonus of a little postural correction.

I bet when you hear things like “Somatics” or “nervous system healing” you’re not sure what that means…and you might even think it’s complicated.

It’s definitely not complicated. It just takes time…time and repetition.

This is just one of many easy practices that I recommend and teach my clients. It can be done anywhere and anytime.

Follow me Amber Cook, LMT for more tips and inspiration.
