Clenching, holding, tightening—these are nervous system responses, not bad habits.

Regulation starts with recognition.

This week in the Regulation Room, we’re tuning into where the body is holding
and learning how to meet it with safety, not force.

Softening begins with noticing

Pain is information — not the problem.
Cross-body patterns, compensation, and nervous system guarding matter.
Treat the source, not just the symptom.

Sometimes the nervous system doesn’t want slow inhales and long exhales.

Sometimes it wants release.

A contained scream (in your car, into a pillow, out on a hike) can help discharge stuck activation, frustration, grief, or rage that breath alone can’t move.

This isn’t about losing control.

It’s about letting the body finish what it started.

Breathwork regulates.
Screaming releases.
Both have a place in healing.

Listen to your body.
It usually knows what it needs.

We are not trying to "fix"
We are building awareness
Create safety, choice and self trust

Paper making is a lesson in nervous system regulation.

You start with chaos—shredded paper, water, mess. Then you slow down.
You stir. You press. You wait.
Nothing can be rushed.

The paper forms when you do less, not more.

Just like your nervous system.

Safety, softness, and patience create something strong. This is what healing looks like.

Get to the ROOT!
Stop chasing symptoms

When your body feels safe
Lymph flows freely
Muscles unwind and let go of tension easily
WITHOUT FORCE!
Healing happens naturally

This is why I focus on Nervous System First Bodywork. It doesn't mean I dont use my other tools and Modalities. It just means I consider this first and I dont meet your body with force.

Before we fix, push, or power through…
we pause.

Recognizing is about listening to your body and noticing what’s already there—sensations, breath, emotions, tension, ease.
No judgment. No rushing to change it.

This is how regulation begins.

Awareness first. Safety first.
Nervous system first.

Today’s practice:
💛 Slow down
💛 Feel your feet
💛 Notice your breath
💛 Name what you feel without trying to fix it

Listening is the medicine 🌟

Awareness creates choice.
Regulation creates capacity.
And capacity creates change.
This is how we come home to ourselves—
slowly, safely, sustainably.

Burnout isn’t a sign you’re doing life wrong.
It’s a signal your nervous system has been carrying too much for too long.

Healing begins when we stop pushing and start regulating

Slow is safe. Support is allowed.

DITCH THE PLAN 🌟

I just to be the one who went to the gym with a plan.. 6 weeks 3 months... weight lift gain.... Tone. Tone. Tone. Lose. Lose. Lose. All the friggin pressure!

Welp! My body needed different and silly me for not noticing until my body made me. Funny how that works.

In my endometriosis journey I have learned the hard way to listen. To slow down and actually listen. I can still enjoy the weight training BUT without the plan. Without the heavy lifting EVERYDAY! I can still lift the way I like to BUT in moderation. Cross training is best. And asking my body "what do you want to do today?". Working through the ego of the mind.

I like to train functionally now. Move for my Lymphatic System. Regulate between sets for my Nervous System. Breath & form my main focus. When my body allows and is supported then I can lift heavier.

Did you know I'm a personal trainer too? If you're struggling in the gym or need guidance schedule a free consult today!
