ABM Therapies

🏃 Event season is here!

Quick reminder:

Pre-event treatment = preparing your body to perform.
Injury treatment = helping your body recover and repair.

If you’ve got a niggle, don’t leave it until the week of your event. The closer you get, the less we want to be doing deep tissue or corrective work.

Don’t wait until pain forces you to stop.

The sooner you address an issue, the quicker and easier it is to resolve.

One thing I’ve learned over 20+ years working with bodies is this:

You cannot separate the mind from the body.

Last week, one of my clients came in for treatment with a persistent dry cough. During the session I imitatively asked her…

“What is it you’re wanting to get off your chest?”

She looked at me strangely… then her eyes filled with tears.

It was coming up to the anniversary of her husband passing — the love of her life.

As she started to cry, she stopped herself and said:
“It’s stupid. It was 40 years ago.”

But grief doesn’t work on a timeline.

When you truly love someone, there will always be moments you miss them more deeply than others.

That’s not weakness.
That’s human.

We spoke, she allowed herself a moment to release what she’d been holding onto, and let go of some of the self-criticism she’d been carrying around it.

So freeing 💜

So many of us have been conditioned to hold everything together.
To believe crying is weakness.
To stay strong.
To push uncomfortable feelings down.

The truth is, none of us want to feel sadness or sit with uncomfortable emotions.

But suppression creates stress within the body.

And chronic stress affects the nervous system, breathing patterns, muscle tension, inflammation, immune function and more.

So what you don’t release…
the body still carries.

Healing can begin when we stop resisting what we feel, allow it to move through us, and give ourselves permission to release 🤍

I spoke to a lady recently with fibromyalgia…

She’s been in pain for years.
And 3 years ago, she stopped moving completely… thinking it would help.

But now?

She feels worse.

This is something I’ve seen over and over again in my work…
from chronic conditions like fibromyalgia,
to everyday pain and tension.

👉 Doing nothing doesn’t heal the body.
👉 But neither does pushing through pain.

The body needs the right kind of movement.

Because movement:
• supports your lymphatic system
• improves circulation
• reduces stiffness
• helps regulate inflammation
• supports hormone balance
• helps lower cortisol
• regulates the nervous system

…and that’s just scratching the surface.

Movement isn’t something we “try to fit in”…

It’s essential for how the body heals, functions, and feels.

But here’s where people get stuck:

👉 doing too much from frustration or pressure
👉 or doing nothing from fear of making things worse

And both keep the body locked in discomfort.

The key is finding that middle ground…
where your body feels supported, not pushed or neglected.

Through massage, EFT, and guided support, I help you:

✨ release built-up tension
✨ calm your nervous system
✨ reconnect with your body
✨ and find the level of movement that works for YOU

Because your body isn’t working against you…

It’s asking to be listened to.
