Pain Isn’t the Problem — It’s the Message.
Most of us were taught to push through pain, numb it, or ignore it. But pain is your body’s way of saying, “Something’s not right.”

It’s not weakness. It’s communication.

Somatic movement helped me stop fighting my body and start listening to it. Not to fix it — but to understand it.

If you’re dealing with tension, fatigue, or pain that keeps coming back, your body might be trying to talk to you.

You’ve done the journaling. The bubble baths. The breathwork.
But somehow… you’re still stressed, snappy, and stuck in overdrive.

Here’s the truth no one talks about:
You’re not underperforming — you’re overwhelmed.
And most self-care advice doesn’t go deep enough to reach what’s really running the show: your nervous system.

In today’s carousel, I’m breaking down:
⚡ Why self-care isn’t the same as self-regulation
🧠 How your nervous system responds to “hidden” threats
🛠️ Tools that actually help you feel safe, calm, and in control again

Because you’re not fragile. You’re just running on an outdated map — one that rewards burnout and calls it success.

Let’s change that.

Your Brain Thinks Emails Are Dangerous — And It’s Not Wrong.

Ever felt your jaw tense or your breath shorten after reading a vague message or hearing “Got a minute?” That’s not overreacting — it’s your nervous system doing its job.

We weren’t built for constant alerts and inbox pings. Over time, this tension becomes your normal — and that’s what leads to burnout.

I know, because I’ve lived it. What helped me recover wasn’t more productivity hacks. It was learning how to reset my nervous system through clinical somatic movement.

This work helps you release long-held tension, feel safe in your body again, and finally breathe freely — even on stressful days.

Ready to feel calm instead of constantly on edge?

Desk jobs are silently reshaping your body — and not in a good way.

It’s more than bad posture. Sitting for hours disconnects your brain from your body, dulls your movement awareness, and locks in chronic tension that no gym session or foam roller can fix.

I’ve been there — feeling stiff, sore, and stuck, even after doing “all the right things.”

The solution? Not more exercise — but retraining your nervous system through clinical somatic movement.

If you’re ready to feel good in your body again, let’s talk.

Well I knew the benefits already. Eating oily fish reduced chronic inflamation, improve heart health, mood and cognition.
I'm great with Salmon but other than that I'm not really an oily fish fan. I got a trout bone stuck in my throat as a teenager and it put me off a bit. I do try and eat Salmon at least once a week though and I do eat well b***d white fish too.
