Reclining Butterfly 🦋
A simple stretch with powerful nervous system benefits.

This supported hip opener helps calm the nervous system, release deep pelvic tension, and signal safety to the body. When the hips soften, the breath slows. When the breath slows, the mind follows.
No forcing. No pushing.

Just regulation, circulation, and rest.

Try 5–10 minutes with full support and notice what shifts.

Your body doesn’t need more stress to heal.
It needs space.

Save this for later.

Behind the scenes, I’ve been pouring more energy into long-form blog posts.

Not fluff. Not trends.
Real education, real nervous system support, real movement and body wisdom.

I write about what I see every day in the room.
Pain patterns. Stress cycles. Burnout.

What actually helps and what’s just noise.

Because healing deserves context, not clickbait.
Now I’m curious…

What do you want to know more about?
Drop it below ⬇️
• Pain that keeps coming back
• Trauma-informed massage
• Fascia and stress
• Stretching that actually helps
• Movement myths
• Nervous system regulation
• Astrology and the body
• Menopause and strength
• Recovery for high-stress humans
• Or something else entirely?

If you’re wondering it, someone else probably is too.
Let’s build this together.
Your body matters. Your questions do too.

No edits. This was our early morning walk. A chilly 20° but so worth it. Truly blessed to get out and see nautures beauty.

And the real lesson for today ~
You’re not meant to fix everything. You’re meant to feel, release, and reset.
Pressure comes from resistance. Relief comes from honesty.
And tomorrow? You’ll feel lighter without knowing exactly why.

🌙 The Moon was in Scorpio, early this am.
That’s the energy zone it was moving through from early morning on Jan 11. Scorpio Moon vibes bring intensity, emotional depth, truth-seeking, and inner transformation energy.
Cafe Astrology +1
Scorpio doesn’t play surface-level. It pulls you beneath the water to feel what’s really there. Think deep reflection, emotional honesty, and the urge to strip away what no longer serves you. Scorpio Moon is a powerhouse for shadow work, healing, and surrendering what’s holding you back.

✨ Phase context: The Moon was in the last quarter / waning part of the cycle, moving toward the New Moon. That’s prime time for release, clearing, and inner cleanup before a fresh start.

A Quick Update From Rebel Wellness 🤍

As Rebel Wellness continues to grow and settle into our new space, I want to keep you informed with clarity and care.

Beginning February 1, updated pricing will go into effect. This change reflects the move into a space that better supports your nervous system and your experience, along with the increased operating costs that come with growth.

Here’s the part I want you to feel good about
✨ This does not affect current monthly members.
Your rate stays the same.

And until February 1, all existing appointments will be honored at current pricing. I’ll be manually adjusting your session total at checkout, so there’s nothing you need to do. I’ve got you.

If you’ve been thinking about becoming a monthly member, now is the time. Membership is the best way to lock in consistent care and priority scheduling while maintaining current rates.

This decision was made thoughtfully. My commitment remains unchanged
• unrushed, intentional sessions
• trauma-informed, body-aware care
• a calm, grounded space that supports real healing
• consistency you can rely on

Growth isn’t about doing more. It’s about protecting the quality of the work and the integrity of the space we share.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for trusting me with your body and your healing. I’m truly grateful for this community and excited for what’s unfolding next.

Questions? Just reach out. Always happy to talk.

With appreciation,
Tammy
