What is the old story you keep repeating about yourself?
What is something in your life that you would like to change ?

And what might change if, in a state of deep rest, you began introducing your mind and body to a different truth?

During Yoga Nidra, we work with a sankalpa—a quiet statement of your heart’s deepest desire, expressed as something that already exists within you.

Not something you need to force.
Something you are ready to remember.

What might your “I am” statement be?

Have you ever tried Yoga Nidra?

THE POWER OF TOUCH

There is something incredibly powerful about human touch.

When touch is safe, intentional and therapeutic, your body doesn’t just feel it through your skin — your nervous system is listening too.

Therapeutic touch can help influence:

• muscle tension
• pain perception
• breathing
• body awareness
• stress and nervous-system regulation
• the ability to slow down and settle

As a massage therapist, I’m not simply working with muscles. I am working with a person whose nervous system, fascia, muscles, breath and lived experiences are all connected.

Sometimes the most meaningful change doesn’t come from pushing harder or trying to “fix” something.

Sometimes the body needs the right input — and enough safety — to begin letting go.

This is when the magic happens✨

I’m curious…

If your body could let go of tension without you having to stretch it, massage it, analyze it, or even talk about why it’s there…

Would you let it? 🤔

After a VERY busy summer, I finally sat down and did my Omega-3 blood test. 🩸

Troy and I did ours together — just a simple little prick of the finger and a few drops of blood.

And well… neither one of us got great results. 😬

For me, the results actually tell a story.

If I’m being transparent, my diet hasn’t been great for the last couple of years. Emotional eating has been part of that.

But over the last few months, I’ve made some big changes — cleaning up my diet, focusing more on nourishing my body and adding consistent movement back into my life.

Then there’s the season of life I’m in…

Perimenopause.🥳
As estrogen changes during this transition, many women experience more joint and muscle aches and stiffness — something I’ve REALLY been noticing lately.
(For about 6-8 months)
My hands. My elbows. My hips. I’ve been so achy.😬
(The Menopause Manifesto is a very good read and covers some great points about supplementation. Omega 3 is covered. Dr.Jen Gunter goes SO much in detail. Great read)

So when my test showed that my EPA was low, it got my attention.
EPA is one of the major omega-3 fatty acids and plays an important role in the body’s inflammatory response.

So, between perimenopause, my diet over the last couple of years and these results, I have some pretty good reasons to start paying closer attention to my Omega-3 status.

And this is what I love about Zinzino. I don’t have to guess. I can test. And their product is very EPA driven.

I have my baseline. I’ve added BalanceOil alongside the other changes I’m making, and in 4 months I’m testing again.

I want to see what happens to my number but even more importantly, I want to see how my body FEELS.
So we will consider this my BEFORE. I’ll take you along for the next four months.

If you are curious about your omega 3 levels, DM me and I will hook you up with a test. 😊

Why a TRE® series instead of just one session?

TRE® isn’t really about coming in, having one big release and being “done.”

It’s about learning your body.

In the first session, everything is new. You’re learning the exercises, experiencing the tremors and beginning to notice how your body responds.

Then something really important starts to happen.

With each session, you become more familiar with the process. You learn what feels comfortable, when you’ve had enough, when to pause and how to stay connected to what your body is telling you.

Your nervous system is learning too.

That’s why I love offering TRE® as a series. It gives us time to build familiarity, trust and a sense of safety rather than trying to accomplish something in a single session.

And there’s another reason this particular group will stay small and closed.

The same 4–6 people will come together each week. No new people dropping in. That allows trust and connection to develop within the group as we move through the four weeks together.

TRE® isn't about how much you can shake.

It’s about learning how to listen to your body — and giving yourself the time and space to do that. 🤎

Sometimes life can throw experiences our way that can physically impact us like a whiplash. Experiences that seem to take our breath away.

The affects of grief become so physical. Sore neck, headaches, overall body soreness. GI issues. Sleep issues.

Our posture can resemble someone who’s bracing themselves for impact. Shoulders up around ears, jaws clenched, muscles tense ready for anything that may come our way.
This is our sympathic nervous system. Protecting us.

Taking intentional breaths is a good way of sending a message to the brain that the threat is over.

Inhale for the count of 4.
1-2-3-4

Exhale for the count of 4
4-3-2-1
And repeat.

Repeat up to 10 times any time you feel the overwhelm wash over you.
Feel your shoulders drop, your body soften, your jaw unclench.

We have to remember to breathe.
Exhale. 😮‍💨
