Have you ever wondered … what is going on in my system and how do I move through it? I created this workbook to offer insight into getting to know our ANS system and how movement helps us move through FREEZE (hyper or hypo) to FLOW:

1.) Get to know your autonomic states (learn them)
2.) an activity to personalize it and reflect on how your body shows up in this states (connecting mental, emotional, and physical sensations + urges)
3.) how to NAVIGATE IT!

A free tool in BIO.

Did you know our early attachments shape our nervous system? 🧠

According to Polyvagal Theory, the way our caregivers interacted with us as children influences how our Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) responds to stress and safety.

Want to understand your own ANS better? Check out my worksheet that educates you on your ANS system and complete activities that help you understanding your own response patterns and needs (M+M worksheet) ❤️

How does this relate to MOVEMENT x MENTAL HEALTH?

Regular physical activity is crucial for brain health as it stimulates neurogenesis, the creation of new neural pathways, and enhances synaptic plasticity. It’s takes about 6 weeks for us to really develop a LOVE and connection to movement —— giving our body time to reconnect with the innate need for movement and internal body connection.

Do I believe in drug therapy to support our emotional and mental health? Yes. Do I believe in therapy as a means to support emotional and mental well-being and healing? Certainly.

But I also believe in the power of movement and exercise to shift our neurophysiology and biology, fostering a deeper connection with ourselves and building trust and relationship with our bodies.

💭 a theme lately. I’m continuously humbled by my clients bravery to feel into emotional wounds and come curious to healing.

Root yourself in safety, connection, and give yourself grace as you move through it.

Change happens when we invite the body into safety… allowing it to feel, process, and strengthen the relationship between our mind + body.

Thank you to all the youth who made me really reflect, taught me to remain open + curious, and made me learn relevant lingo to stay cool 🙃

Thank you for the three years - time to dive fully into private practice.
