Why I’m not running the Indy Half Marathon tomorrow…

After months of consistent training — through wedding season, book edits, business launches, and patient care marathons — a random tendon pain cropped up two weeks ago.

It was frustrating, as usual.
It slowed me down on my final long run.
It broke my confidence and stole a bit of joy.

But I caught myself before the spiral.
I chose not to let it steal the bigger picture. ✨

I chose to stop.
To not push through.
To rest — just three days.

I chose the quicker healing path.
The harder one for us crazy runners. 😅

Because when I say I help runners run pain-free,
it’s not just something I say.
It’s something I live.

I gave my body the attention it needed — and it got better, faster.

I came to Indy not knowing if I’d race the half or switch to the 5K.
And I chose the 5K. 🙌

So now I’m racing excited tomorrow —
with less risk of reinjury,
more trust in my intuition,
and so much heart. ❤️‍🔥

I’m aiming to see 18: in my finish time tomorrow — for the first time since 2019!

Right now, I’m meant to run with flow, power, form, and fun.
That’s what elite means to me these days.

✨ Trust the intelligence of your body.
Don’t override it.
Don’t push through pain.

Get in the flow — and let your body give you exactly what you need. 🪽

Good luck to everyone running this weekend! 💓

🌟 Wow… all the initial spots for The NerveFlow Accelerator are officially taken!

But here’s the thing — I’m not done.

I created this program because I know how many people are stuck in the cycle of:

🔁 short-term relief
😵‍ confusing medical advice
🤕 lingering pain and setbacks
🧩 and not knowing how to put it all together

And I also know what’s possible when you finally reconnect the pieces:

✨ Waking up pain-free
✨ Saying “yes” to movement again
✨ Feeling lighter, looser, stronger
✨ Surpassing your own expectations — without pushing or forcing

That’s what we’re doing inside The NerveFlow Accelerator.
And even though the first round is full — I’ll be reopening enrollment in a few weeks.

💌 Want to be first to know when it opens?
Or curious if it’s a fit for you?

Drop me a message or comment below and I’ll get you the info.

In the meantime, I’m diving into full SERVE mode — helping each of the new Accelerator members get clear, get connected, and start healing at the root.

Let’s go. 🚀

Group energy is one of my favorite things.
And I’m already celebrating the incredible people who’ve said YES to building a first-class foundation in their bodies through The NerveFlow Accelerator.

Because here’s what I know:

When you take time to resolve pain at the root — by reconnecting your body’s systems — the ripple effects are profound.

⚡️Your movement feels easier.
⚡️Your mind feels clearer.
⚡️Your life feels more like you again.

Not held back.
Not stuck on the sidelines.
Not managing pain — but actually thriving.

And when that happens, everyone around you benefits too.

✨You get to be the healthiest, freest version of yourself.
✨Your energy returns. Your confidence grows.
✨And your workouts, hikes, playtime, and passion all come back online.

That’s what we’re doing inside NerveFlow — together.

And today is the LAST chance to join with the best pricing and these bonuses:

🎁 Private 1:1 Pain Decoder session with me
🎁 Access to my 150+ video Mobility Vault
🎁 An extra month of support

Doors close TONIGHT at 6pm MT ⏳
And enrollment pauses while I go into full SERVE mode for these amazing people!!

Drop a 👻 if you’re curious
DM me “NerveFlow” to chat
Or just come join us already 💛

I was working with a woman recently who said, “I just want to feel like myself again.”

She wasn’t talking about one little pain point.
She meant her whole body.

The way she moves. The way she feels. The way she shows up in her life.

And honestly?
I hear this all the time.

That’s why I created The NerveFlow Accelerator.

Because feeling good in your body isn’t about chasing symptoms — it’s about getting to the root.
It’s about restoring connection and building the kind of strength that feels like freedom.

✨ Tomorrow (Friday, Oct 17) is the LAST day to join as a founding member (which means the best price it will ever be) and also receive these bonuses:

✅ A private 1:1 Root Cause Pain Decoder session with me
✅ Full access to my Mind-Body Mobility Vault (150+ videos)
✅ A bonus month of access and support to integrate, deepen, and embody your results

If you’ve been thinking about it, have questions, or you’d like to talk through it more…

Comment or dm with “ME” 👇and let’s connect!

The NerveFlow Accelerator is not going away, and I am happy to support you whenever you’re ready.

The only thing that’s changing tomorrow is the special founding member pricing and bonuses are going away, and I will pause new enrollments for a few weeks while I get things set up and start serving the new members who’ve just joined.

Either way, I appreciate everyone who’s seen, shared, engaged, or otherwise participated in this exciting release over the last few weeks.

Helping people resolve pain at the root and move with freedom and flow is so important to me, and this program is an extension of that mission.

Thank you for being here.

I remember a time when I was doing everything “right”…

but my body still felt off.

Tight. Reactive. Stuck in this loop of pushing through pain and pretending it was fine.

What I’ve learned—and now teach—is that healing doesn’t come from trying harder.

It comes from treating the nervous system first.

When you do, everything changes:
🌀 Pain unwinds
💚 Movement becomes free again
🔥 Strength returns—without flare-ups

Right now, I’ve got 6 spots left in my new small group program starting in November.

If your body’s been holding you back…
If you’re tired of setbacks…
If you’re ready to finally feel like yourself again in movement—

Send me a DM that says “ALIGN” and we’ll talk.

You don’t have to keep guessing.
You can heal—starting from the inside out.

Let’s restore your freedom to move.

I’ve got 6 spots left in The NerveFlow Accelerator, my new group for November, and I’ve opened up my schedule this week for Alignment Calls.

I’m already celebrating the 4 people who’ve made the leap.

I am SO excited that I get to help these amazing humans finally become pain-free, elevate their posture and movement quality, and exercise to their heart’s delight again.

Exercise is good for you. It’s good for your heart, your brain, your stress, your bones and muscles, your joints, and your enjoyment of life. But not if it’s hurting you.

And I can’t wait to start helping these amazing people and more overcome the biggest limitation to their wellbeing, and restore their natural freedom to move, from the inside out.

So if you’d also like to…

✅ Wake up every morning refreshed and pain-free, with the spark to say “yes!” to that workout, hike, class, ride, run, meditation, or adventure again.

✅ End the hopeless struggle of short-lived pain relief treatments, confusing medical advice, complicated exercises, and the frustrating setbacks that follow – and finally activate ease in your life, healing in your body, and the freedom you love when you’re moving at your best.

✅ Feel lighter, looser, and stronger in your body so you can surpass your wildest dreams while becoming more healthy and whole.

Hit reply and let me know.

I’d love to see if I can help you!

You’ve got one body. Let’s make it one you feel free in.

—Dr. Lara “exercise is the best” Johnson

PS. Enrollment ends this Friday at 6pm mountain time, so hop in now!

3 ways your healing helps everyone around you 💥
Ever heard the phrase: “Put on your own oxygen mask first”?

You probably have.
But have you ever really felt what that means—for your partner, your kids, your work, your life?

Let’s be real:
You’ve probably gotten really good at powering through.
For your job.
For your family.
For your workouts.
For your community.

Even when your body hurts.
Even when your energy is drained.

But here’s a question we don’t ask enough:

What would your life—and your relationships—look like if your body wasn’t holding you back?

Here’s what I see over and over again when someone finally gets out of pain (and stays out of pain) using the NerveFlow Method™:

1️⃣ Mental clarity returns.
No more wasting 30% of your brainpower just managing pain in the background.

2️⃣ Relationships get lighter.
You stop canceling plans, skipping hikes, or apologizing for needing to rest (again).

3️⃣ You’re back to YOU.
The version of you that moves more. Laughs more. Says yes more.

But this isn’t just about you.

👉 Your partner sees you enjoying life instead of just enduring it.
👉 Your kids or grandkids get the playful, present version of you they’ll never forget.
👉 Your coworkers feel your energy shift—even if they don’t say it.
👉 Your community benefits from the real you showing up again.

Because when your nervous system is calm and your body is free… everything changes.

That’s why I created the NerveFlow Method™—to help you become the strong, present, pain-free version of yourself again (and stay there).

✨ And that ripple effect?

It starts the moment you do.

Curious if this could be your turning point?
Comment or DM me: INTERESTED and I’ll share the details.

Here’s to your freedom to move—
… and how that freedom fuels everyone around you.

💛

Still wondering if my new group coaching program The NerveFlow Accelerator is right for you?

Here are answers to some of the most common questions I’ve been getting:

🧠 What is the NerveFlow Method™?

It’s a step-by-step system that helps you release pain and tension by treating the neurological root cause—not just the symptoms.
We start with the nervous system, then layer in targeted muscle release and postural realignment.
No aggressive stretching, no 30+ minute workouts, and no relying on someone else to “fix” you.

🦵 Will it work for my pain/injury/problem?

Most likely. It’s helped people with nerve pain, knee pain, frozen shoulder, plantar fasciitis, neck pain, sciatica, headaches, and more—even lingering pain that stuck around after PT.
We’ll chat 1:1 before enrollment to make sure it’s the right fit for you.

⏱️ How much time does it take?

You can start seeing results with 20–30 minutes a few times a week.
Lessons are short and recorded. You can go at your own pace. Want more support? Join optional live Q&As and coaching calls.

🧩 I’ve already tried PT, massage, chiro… will this really be different?

Yes. Most people who join this program have tried everything else.
The missing piece? The nervous system. When you treat the root—not just the symptoms—everything shifts.

🌎 Do I need to see you in person?

Nope! This program was designed to work remotely, so I can help more people with this method. I’ve had clients all over the world get results!
You’ll learn simple, effective techniques you can do from home—and still get support when you need it.

🙋‍♀️ Is it personalized?
Yes. You’ll get access to the full system, plus support to tailor it to your body and symptoms.
You’re never doing it alone.

📅 What if I can’t start right away?
You’ll have 6 months of access to all materials, live support, and any bonuses.
Start when you’re ready—but join now to lock in early access, bonuses, and special pricing.

Still have a question? Or curious if this would work for you?
Drop a comment or DM me! 👇

This might be the different path forward you’ve been looking for.
And I’d love to walk it with you.

She almost didn’t say yes.

One of my favorite clients, Maya, almost didn’t move forward with care.

She had already spent thousands of dollars trying to fix her pain.

She was tired. Skeptical. Frustrated.
Convinced this might just be another thing that didn’t work.

But here’s what I told her—and maybe it’ll resonate with you too:

👉 Your body isn’t broken.
It’s overloaded.

And most treatments?
They don’t speak the language of the nervous system.
They chase symptoms instead of resolving the system.

That’s why I created the NerveFlow Method™—and why I opened a small group experience to walk people like Maya through it step-by-step.

Here’s what happened when she said yes:

✨ She calmed nerve irritation using simple, science-backed protocols
✨ She stopped foam rolling and over-exercising—and started gently resetting her system
✨ She finally woke up without pain
✨ She felt like herself again—strong, capable, and free

And here’s the thing:
She never saw me in person.
Maya doesn’t even live in Colorado.

What changed everything for her?

“You explained what was actually going on. Once I understood it wasn’t my fault—just a system that needed to be reset—I finally had hope.”

If you’ve been doing all the right things…
but still feel stuck in a loop of tightness, pain, or stress…

It’s not your fault.
It’s that the old approach wasn’t built for what’s really going on inside your body.

That’s what we change together inside The NerveFlow Accelerator.

✨ Ready to get off the injury roller coaster?

In just a few weeks, I’m starting something powerful with a small group of dedicated people:

The NerveFlow Accelerator.
A step-by-step program to help you finally heal unresolved pain — and reclaim your strength and freedom of movement.

After 20+ years of helping patients in the clinic, I’ve distilled what works without fads, gimmicks, or bandaid fixes.

This is about healing at the root.

Here’s what we’ll do together:

🔹 Improve Nerve Flow
→ So tight muscles unlock and joints decompress. Most people focus on blood flow. But nerve flow changes everything.

🔹 Release Hidden Tension
→ I’ll show you which deep muscles to target for max impact (it’s not massage or exercise — those can make it worse).

🔹 Ditch the Overwhelm
→ No more guessing. No “do-all-the-things” routines. Just the right actions in the right order.

🔹 Strengthen When You’re Ready
→ First, we calm inflammation and restore function. Then we build real strength on solid ground.

🔹 Build Habits That Last
→ You’ll walk away with sustainable tools for the long haul — not just short-term fixes.

💡This is about doing less, not more.
And getting lasting relief and alignment… without forcing, overtraining, or chasing symptoms.

🧠 You’ll rewire your body — and your mindset.

You’ll get:
✔️ Doctor-led Q&As
✔️ On-demand tutorials
✔️ Mind-body habit shifts
✔️ Community support
✔️ A full movement + exercise database
✔️ The most support I’ve ever packed into a program

If this speaks to you, comment “interested” below or DM me to chat. Let’s see if it’s a fit. 👇

Behind the (Simple) Scenes...

When I create programs or write something new—it takes me forever.

Not because I don’t know what I’m doing…

But because I care.

And because making things truly simple takes way more effort than just throwing everything at the wall.

Steve Jobs once said:

“Simple can be harder than complex: you have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end, because once you get there, you can move mountains.”

🌟 That’s exactly what I’ve been doing behind the scenes for the NerveFlow Accelerator.

I’ve taken 20 years of experience, thousands of patient stories, and distilled it all down into 7 powerful, clear, simple steps.

It’s not a patchwork of stretches and treatments.

It’s not symptom-chasing.

It’s not one-size-fits-all.

It’s focused. Systematic. And freeing.

Because when you treat the nervous system first, everything else follows.

In other words, it flows.

💡 Inside the NerveFlow Accelerator, you’ll get:

✅ A step-by-step method to finally feel pain-free and free to move
✅ Live access to me (your DPT in your pocket, not just once a week)
✅ Community and coaching to stay inspired and unstuck
✅ Tools to track your progress—without overwhelm

Because health should be simple to follow, even if your life is full.

This is the best program I’ve ever created—and if you’re tired of piecing things together on your own, this might be the thing that finally moves your mountains.

✨ If this speaks to you, just drop a “simple” in the comments and I’ll reach out for a quick chat.

You can wait.
You can focus on other things.
Your work, your relationships, your to-do list.

That’s totally fine. In fact, it’s what most people do.

But you know there’s something calling you.

Something in your body, or your life, that’s asking for a shift.

I wrote a deeper piece about this today — about what happens when you finally stop waiting…
