You’re not wrong for wanting answers.
But hypermobility care is bigger than a diagnosis.

This post is to help give you context so you can make informed choices about your body, your care, and your future.

Labels can be useful.
They can also come with trade-offs.

Like being denied life insurance for a non-deadly condition.

What ALWAYS matters?
Support, education, and learning how to work WITH your body - not against it.

Accepting your body as it is, right now, and nourishing it.

Save this. Share it. Come back to it.
And if this resonated, you’re welcome here. 👋 🩵

If you walk too long…
Or sit too long…
Or drive too long…
Or stand too long…
And then your hips sound like this?

👋 Welcome to the club!

Why does this happen?

Hypermobility means our ligaments and joint capsules have more give. So when we stay in one position for a whole, our joints tend to rest closer to their end ranges instead of being held snugly in the center.

When we change positions, the joint capsule gets a quick stretch. That sudden pressure change creates a tiny gas bubble in the joint fluid - that’s the crack you hear.

We’re not broken. We’re just a little more…liquid 😂- shaped by whatever container we’ve been in.

The key isn’t stopping the cracks.
It’s learning how to support, center, and load hypermobile joints so they don’t have to rely on end-range hanging to feel stable.

Comment “bendy” and I’ll send you my free hypermobility checklist to learn a little more about living in your body.

Grief isn’t something to “get through”.
It’s something that changes how you live.

What most people are taught is survival: stay busy, stay numb, don’t fall apart for too long.

But survival isn’t the same as integration.

Integration is learning how to move forward without abandoning yourself.
Without hardening.
Without leaving your lost loved ones behind.

This is the work I care about.
Not bypassing. Not rushing.
But staying human in a world that keeps changing.

If you’re in this threshold, you certainly aren’t alone.
You’re being initiated.

Watch until the end 👀 🐶

If this week was heavy, you didn’t imagine it and you’re not alone. ♥️

Add small joys into your brain regularly. This is very important. Even if you feel numb. It’s good for you.

You can’t spoil a baby. All of that love turns into healthy attachment. Babies NEED love and constant attention.

Who provides most of this? Mothers.

Women who have all too often been conditioned to keep themselves small, not complain, and take care of everyone else before themselves.

Mama’s: you NEVER need to feel guilty because you took a bath, got a massage, had someone else do your dishes, regularly see me, or let someone else vacuum while you did self care.

You are working overtime 24/7, sharing your body, and literally creating life. That is goddess level stuff. Spoil yourself and let people spoil you. You AND baby deserve it.

I’m so fed up with stories of mamas working until their due date and going back a couple weeks (or even DAYS) after 🤯.

It’s time we quit normalizing that and name it for what it is: 👏 HUMAN 👏 RIGHTS 👏 VIOLATIONS! 👏

If you WANT to work, that’s your choice. It should NEVER have been expected.

Soo vote for me for president ✌️ jk, I know we have a long way to go on the administration side and much of that is out of our control, but you CAN choose to accept all of the kind things people offer you and to ask for what you need.

Surround yourself with people who understand and respect what you are doing. 💜 🤰

Also side note - why was I discouraged from listening to Tupac as a child because he was “too thug” but Eminem was just fine? Tupac is a respectable LEGEND and I wish I had heard these bars growing up instead. 🖤

I’m a sucker 🫠💕

People ask me a lot if I want to have kids, being a prenatal/pediatric chiropractor and all…

Maybe! But right now I’m love love loving being part of the village 🥰

Call me Auntie and I’ll probably do whatever you want 😂

Gratitude is a ⭐️ value ⭐️.
Comfort is a ⭐️ nervous system state ⭐️.

They are not the same thing.
And they can absolutely coexist.

You can be deeply grateful AND wildly uncomfortable at the same time.

If your body tenses, freezes, flushes, dissociates, fidgets, or wants to escape - that does NOT mean you’re ungrateful.

It means your nervous system is talking to you.

And loves…
DO NOT MINIMIZE THAT!

Your intuition is not some mystical personality trait.
It’s your nervous system screaming information in real time about:
🧠 safety
🧠 consent
🧠 capacity
🧠 boundaries

Somewhere along the way, a lot of us were taught: “if you’re uncomfortable, you should be grateful instead.”

No.

That’s how people stay stuck, frozen, silent, and self-abandoning.

Nothing is “wrong” with you for feeling discomfort in “good” situations.
You are not dramatic.
You are not ungrateful.

You are ALLOWED to feel discomfort, even when others don’t.

Do not let anyone shame- absolutely anyone - shame you out of that in the name of gratitude.

If this hit, tell me:
✨ Where have you been overriding your body lately?

I’ll go first with something silly and simple but maybe relatable: I feel SO uncomfortable when people sing me happy birthday 🎂. And it’s not that I hate attention (see my last reel 💪) I just don’t know how to react, or how to sit still and receive like that.

But also please don’t stop celebrating me! I’m grateful for all of you.😂 ♥️ 💕 🎂

Draw them on.

Reality check though, did you know MOST people actually can’t achieve a perfect 6 pack because of their natural anatomical shape of re**us abdominus?

Yes, no matter how low their body fat % is, 6 perfect ab packs will not form.

Did you know even body builders with beautiful 6 packs usually don’t have them all year round?

It’s not perfectly achievable or sustainable for most of us…so your best bet?

Work your core because it keeps you strong and healthy.

Measure your progress by how you FEEL and how you can move, NOT on how “perfect” you can look.

Love your midsection because it does soo much for you.

Turn unrealistic beauty standards into comedy.

This reality where you don’t drive home anymore. 💔

But my brain still associates your car out front with your presence.

What can I say…I love setting my hair free. 🦋

Uptight hair often correlates with jaw, neck, shoulder, and scalp tension.

Setting it free = instant parasympathetic activation (aka “rest and digest and chill”)

And hair holds a lot of energy. Let it flow! You can look but no touchy please.

Any one else drink less water when you have a lid to unscrew?

It’s embarrassing to admit, but I’m actually lazy/busy enough that I won’t drink as much water if I have to unscrew a water bottle lid.

Yes, I drink more out of a sippy cup. I also eliminate the risk of spilling drinks down my shirt and I’m much less likely to choke 😂

Growing up is realizing there’s no shame in using child-like safety features if they actually help! 🤷

Link in my bio for more hypermobility support if this resonates ♥️

In case anyone is wondering how my mission “to take my man to La Push to see where Twilight was shot without him knowing that’s why we are going to La Push” went…😂

10/10 recommend! It was beautiful and finally after 9 years in the Pacific Northwest I can say I’ve been there.😌
