Trans•form•ation.
The action of moving beyond a particular way a thing exists or appears.

So much of our lives are made up.
Made up beliefs about what is right and what is wrong.
Made up stories around needing to be a certain way to feel loved and accepted.
Made up ideas of a level of success that will make you feel worthy to be a man/woman or part of society.

The lenses created by society and passed down through our family form the way that we view the world. And much of it is false.

We are already free, loved, and worthy of existing in this world. All it takes is to remember how this actually feels.

Excited to bring home the being. It's a great time to let go of the parts that are no longer working, and step fully into our true potential.

Trans•form•ation.
The action of moving beyond the way a particular in which a thing exists.

We exist as a culmination of beliefs of how the world is taught through family, society, and lived experience.

How much of it did we actually choose?
One way to break through the patterns is to come back into experiences that move us beyond the physiological states that we've learned to exist in. As my mentor said "The way we breathe is the way we live." A calculated life limits the ability to really live in the flow of breath/life.

Excited to bring this thing home.

We've lost the meaning of health. It's NOT the absence of disease. It's flowing through life without resistance; balanced both with the vessel we move around in (our body) AND in the environment that supports it.

A true healer is not searching for disease. They recognize where the body is off balance and out of alignment with health, and helps support that person in rediscovering what it means to feel good again, both in their body and in their life.

The world is crazy out there. For the second time in 5 years, the level of fear, divisiveness and uncertainty is being driven to levels many of us have never experienced in our lifetime. Even teenagers are talking politics.

There are great individuals within each of these systems. Being in the health service industry, I have the opportunity to work with people across many different backgrounds. Many of them truly love the work they do, however, they are burdened and stressed by the systems that don't put them, nor the people they serve, first.

If we move beyond the stories, the excuses we are told as to why these things exist, and our emotional attachments to them, we begin to see new possibilities and opportunities to make things better for ourselves, and for everyone else.

There has never been a more important time to focus on things like breathwork, meditation, and connection to nature, people, and the things that make life meaningful. Step by step, action by action, we move forward. Through the uncertainty, through the pressure of outside forces. On the other side lies a better world, a world made new. But we have to free ourselves from these artificial boundaries built from fear and control. Everything created in our world was always just an idea, not an absolute truth.

We are all one 🤍

Every movement, Every posture, Every fall.

Each emotion repressed, each life lesson, each role we've played in our lives.

It can all have a massive effect on how our nervous system allows us to move, breathe, recover, and be well. Mentally, Physically, and Emotionally.
Tight muscles, restricted breathing, poor digestion, headaches, and sore backs, necks, and jaws.
All symptoms.

Your nervous system protects you. And any of the above examples is related to overprotective, heightened reflexes in your body that may be reacting to past, current, or perceived future injuries or stressors.

If these neurological patterns in your body are not relaxed through treatment (and I don't mean heavy painful treatment given until your body 'taps out'), you will continue to feel the same aches and pains typical of a body whose resiliency is compromised by broken repair mechanisms.

The body is a unit. It can heal itself. AND you can get better, longer lasting results.

Do you ever feel like you're numbing out, distracting yourself, and avoiding facing people or situations so you don't have to face those feelings?

Fear lies at the root of holding us back from really experiencing our lives. It fuels our worries when we can't sleep at night, the tightness in our stomachs when we can't digest, and the tension in our jaws, shoulders and hips.
Our body holds on so tightly to the belief that we are going to be safe. Yet if we give ourselves the chance to step through that door and actually feel those emotions, we start to recognize how little of everything that is going on in society today actually effects us. When we live from the inside out, we can create a life and a world that reflects love and harmony, not fear and division.

Let us remember that inner truth together, we are all one, Unconquerable.

Why don't our bodies get better?

There are many layers, and just as many ways to treat the body.

In Osteopathy, we use our principles to decipher why your body is in its current state. Our knowledge of the 3 above principles to guide lasting treatment.Once the conditions for health are restored, your body finds its balance again and you re-discover what it means to be healthy.

1. The body is a unit of mind, body and spirit.
2. The body has self repairing and self maintaining mechanisms that are always working to keep us healthy.
3. The structure of your body and how it functions are interrelated.

What is Quantum Embodiment?

The biggest battle of our time is not outside ourselves, but within.

We go through our lives maxing out our minds to try to deal with the large overload of information of today's age.
We live above our bodies, not in them. We try to sort out ways in our head to avoid feelings and situations that we are uncomfortable with. We choose the path of least resistance, give up on our true power and inner strength, and wait for a hero to save us.
They're not coming. No political party or individual will ever truly return your power to you. You have to claim it.

That's what embodiment is. It's coming inwards and getting comfortable with that which we've forgotten. How to feel, how to connect with our deeper selves and how to become what we came here to be. To be free from the structures that limit our true potential. Beyond fear, beyond being a victim of our circumstamces and environment, lies the remembering of just how powerful we are.

This course uses movement, breathwork and cold exposure to come back into our bodies again. And we get to do it in community; a place to feel supported and held through whatever difficulties and resistances that come up with true embodiment. My mentor Jeff Sorensen and I will be guiding you through half a day of some of the best practices we know to unlock that deep wisdom that lies within you.

Spots are limited. First come, first served. DM me for details.

Sage Saying from Dr. A.T. Still: "The most that any physician can do in treating disease is render operative the natural forces within the patient's body."

Osteopathic treatment is gentle in nature because we do not work on tight muscles or sore joints. Nor do we "Fight Disease"!

These are all just effects.

What we work on is the cause. We relax the sensory nerves and tissues in the body by putting joints and soft tissues of the body in a position in which they can shut off and relax. The body can then better coordinate a normal posture and better movement patterns which create better overall health!

The world shapes our bodies and how they move, I know of no other profession that understands this and applies it on the individual level. The body guides the treatment, not the practitioner.

OSTCAN OMP's are trained to fully assess the body, and treatment specifically targets what that individual's body needs at the time. No two treatments are exactly the same, because no two people's bodies or needs are the same.
