So much has happened over the last year - I have been pretty absent on Facebook, I so I thought I would send a little update.
Many of you know, 2 years ago, I lost my mom to cancer. At first I was numb, then I was angry and then I slipped into a very deep depression.
I kept thinking... how does one survive without their mother??
It seems impossible.
With that, I've been wanting to share more about my story to where I am today knowing how dark the past had been, and maybe it would give one person reading this hope on their journey back to themselves.
It was only last year that I felt like I couldn't get out of bed and my depression was so crippling that I questioned my existence. My mental state brought all of my gut issues back. A day in my life was forcing myself out of bed, barely eating because of the gut pain, having enough energy to walk my dog for about 10 minutes and then get back into bed.
I avoided work.
I avoided friends.
It was impossible to show up for life.
It was a year out from my mom passing and I truly thought I had been through the worst of the grief, however, the one year mark hit me harder than the actual passing. The more I research why, the more I begin to understand trapped emotions and the effect they have on your physical and mental health.
I found out that most of us have about 200-300 trapped emotions hanging out in our bodies that have not been fully released or expressed. For many of us, including myself, we have been taught to suppress. Just suck it up. Stop the emotion mid expression so as not to appear weak.
The problem with that is the emotion has not been fully discharged so now it’s floating around in your body and becomes trapped, causing digestive issues, depression, fatigue and so much more.
To be honest, I am convinced that my mother's cancer was due to emotions left unresolved through her whole life. She was a people pleaser and a yes woman. Qualities that most admired in her but unfortunately made her very very ill.
So here I am, barely existing and praying for a way out.
*googles* How does one get rid of trapped emotions??
The word SOMATIC became a theme in my research and as I uncovered what it meant and how to do it - I started to see relief. I began a daily practice of various somatic exercises including vagal tone and verbal sounds too.
Within one week I felt so much better. Getting out of bed was easier, my bloat was down and I felt a lighter sense about me. I kept at it. I continued to improve.
What's more is that I felt lighter and more free in my body than I had in years - even before my mom passed.
I felt this was a gift from my mom. I truly believe her cancer was due to trapped emotions. She put everyone before herself and took alot of burden of worry and stress for herself. She was the light in everyone else's life but often mistreated her own. I'm sure many of you can relate.
I knew she had given me something special and wanted to bring it to my community but really had no idea how.
I prayed on it, talked to her about it and tested out different experiences, tried it out on friends and eventually came to build a class now known as RELEASE [method] - a somatic movement class designed to help you release trapped emotions contributing to chronic illness and negative thought patterns. It has helped me release anger, grief, sadness, loneliness and so much more.
The feedback on the class has been amazing and it keeps growing and growing. At first, I was only doing the classes in person and at retreats but since then have grown my online release classes that I host every first friday of the month (and more to come soon.)
The next RELEASE [method] online class is THIS Friday, September 6th at 4pm pst / 7pm est.

This class is for you if you have been dealing with chronic health issues for a long time without any relief from nutrition or supplements or if you've experienced loss or deep sadness recently, or heartbreak. This class is for you if you desire to change your beliefs and become less anxious, depressed and stressed and desire to live happy and joyful and at peace.
