Common things chronically ill people have to hear:
-You’ll get better soon!
-Don’t loose yourself in this illness
-You’ve changed since you got sick
-Just rest and Feel better soon!
-You were so different before you got sick
-Have you tried yoga?
-*lists celebrities they know with the same illness*
-Oh so you’re just tired all the time?

Can we please ditch this (unintentionally) insensitive phrase? Here’s why... 👇🏻 I’m not here to be snarky or assume intentions. Maybe they mean well. But sometimes, well-meaning words can land with a thud, especially if you’re still processing the fact that this is your new normal, not a detour. ⚠️ Why does it hurt? Because, for many of us, this isn’t a temporary setback, and “get well soon” feels like a one-size-fits-all bandaid slapped on a gaping wound. There is no “get well soon.” There’s “get through today,” “manage this flare-up,” and “find moments of joy amidst the fatigue.” 🌻 It can also subtly morph into this pressure cooker of guilt. Like a dismissal of the chronic struggles we face. Like we’re failing and not trying hard enough to be “better.”⁣ 🙅🏻‍♀️ Now, I’m not saying to zip it altogether. But maybe a shift in language is just what the doctor ordered if your intention is to help your friend feel supported. Words that meet us where we are, in the trenches of chronic illness, not some fantasy land of full recovery. 💜 It’s okay if you don’t know how to make them feel better or feel like you don’t have the exact right words. Sometimes, the best medicine is simply being seen and heard. 🏷️ #invisibleillness #raredisease #rarediseaseawareness #chroniclife #spooniestrong #spooniesupport #rarediseases #rareillness #chronicillness #chronicfatiguesyndrome #autoimmunedisease #rheumatoidearthritis

Hey y’all I just completed the Academy of Lymphatic Studies Post op MLD course!
This means that I’m educated and equipped to work on and help with any post surgery work! As well as specialized lymphatic work for BBL, breast augmentations, tummy tucks, and most plastic surgery procedures.

I love learning and educating myself more, and I can’t wait to do some more detailed lymphatic work with you all❤️❤️❤️

Gabor Maté is a genius. He speaks on scientific connections between trauma, depression, ADHD, addiction, autoimmune diseases and so many other conditions that the medical system doesn’t understand.

Understanding that anything that affects your mental and emotional health HAS to be effecting your physical body is the missing link.
When we recognize that trauma and environment have a physical reaction in our bodies, we can understand how to grow, learn, and treat conditions in an informed way.

For more on this subject check out his new book “The Myth of Normal”

Physician and trauma expert Dr. Gabor Maté elaborates on what a trauma-informed medical system looks like — a system that not only treats physical symptoms, but also inquires about the emotional, mental, and spiritual traumas that may have contributed to the development of disease. Get to the root causes of chronic illness in our 4-part workshop, A Return to Wholeness with Dr. Gabor Maté.

Cupping is my favorite modality because it really allows you to see what’s happening in the body, and allows you to flush toxins out, recovering faster.
Believe it or not, the cup was only on this spot for about 2 minutes tops. That tells you the level of muscle to bone adhesion, and muscular distress in the body.

If you have never received bodywork, you may find you pull spots like these the first fews sessions. This is totally normal. Our bodies hold on to a lot more than we think, so when the bodywork process starts, it can often be shocking what has been sitting in your body.

So grateful for the trust and kind words🙏🏽

Get the pain free days you deserve.

Chris is amazing at what he does. He provides such a safe and comfortable environment and is able to get deep into muscles. I love that he educates me on what muscles are my problem areas, and tells me how I can strengthen them. I can feel the change in my muscles already.
If you like deep pressure, Chris is the absolute best! 👏👏
