Calm is contagious, and so is chaos.

Your child’s nervous system mirrors yours, which makes your calm the greatest gift you can give.

Children instinctively mirror the emotional state of their caregivers. When a parent is calm, a child’s heart rate, breathing, and stress response often settle too. But when a parent is anxious, tense, or dysregulated, children frequently mirror those same patterns… sometimes almost instantly.

Increasing your own vagal tone and resetting your nervous system can have the biggest impact on your whole family. Kids don’t just notice your state, they reflect it, and almost even “borrow” it. This dynamic begins at conception, continues throughout pregnancy, and extends all the way through adolescence and even into the late teen years.

You want to be a calm, resilient parent for your children, right?

Me too.

The Nervous System Reset helps you understand and work with your vagus nerve in a practical, approachable way.
Inside, you’ll discover how to:
- Move your body out of fight-or-flight
- Follow gentle guided releases to ease anxiety
- Understand the vagus nerve’s role in resilience and regulation
- Practice tools to feel grounded, balanced, and calm
- Shift family patterns through parental regulation and mirroring
- Recognize the parent–child feedback loop in the nervous system

Best of all, there’s a big discount this week—available until Sunday, Sept 28 at midnight.

Follow us (so the message comes through) and then comment RESET to learn more!

Frozen, timid, and weighed down by indecision — the pelvic floor and bladder will mirror that hesitation, holding tension in the fascia.

Hey! Make sure you FOLLOW us for more content like this. And SAVE to come back to this!

Fascia, the connective tissue web that supports these organs, doesn’t just respond to physical stress; it carries emotional patterns as well. When this tissue becomes stiff, restricted, or overly tense, movement can feel limited, bladder expansion may be disrupted, and nearby nerves can become irritated, creating a heightened sense of sensitivity or discomfort.

These physical patterns are closely tied to emotional states: in techniques like NET, the bladder is associated with a “paralyzed will,” showing up as feelings of being stuck, hesitant, timid, indecisive, or guarded — the kind of wishy-washy “it is what it is” mindset that keeps people from fully trusting their own decisions. Over time, these emotions settle into the pelvic floor, where the fascia literally holds that guarded energy. This can create chronic tightness, difficulty fully relaxing, and a constant low-level tension that makes normal bladder function and pelvic-floor movement feel effortful or restricted.

Mechanical strain, inflammation, and prolonged stress reinforce these fascial patterns, making it harder for the body to release and reset. We have an at home solution for this problem. Inside our online course SOME renewal, we show simple, powerful fascial releases that impact the bladder, pelvic floor and reproductive organs!

By addressing both the physical and emotional layers together, it’s possible to improve bladder and pelvic-floor function while also cultivating a deeper sense of ease, readiness, and trust in moving forward with life. Let us show you how. Comment FLOOR for more info.

Placing healing in your hands — LITERALLY.

Comment RENEWAL for more info

Truth is, there’s very little reliable guidance on releasing fascia at home.
The most common questions we hear:
“Where can I find someone near me who does this?”
“How can I help myself, my child, or my spouse at home?”
That’s exactly why we created SOMA Renewal — to give you tools to release tension, restore balance, and understand your body in ways you can actually apply.

Most resources focus only on chemistry (supplements, diets, labs). But your body isn’t just chemistry. It’s also mechanics (fascia, structure, movement) & emotions (patterns we hold onto, often without realizing).

SOMA Renewal gives you a multifaceted approach: practical fascial releases you can use at home, combined with organ health insights & emotional connections — helping your body shift in ways that last.

This is not a replacement for hands-on care, but a powerful complement. A way to finally feel like your health is in your own hands.

Inside the course, we’ll guide you to:
-Connect the dots between mechanics, chemistry, & emotions.
-Release fascial tension that affects organs, digestion, breathing, & energy.
-Understand how unresolved emotions live in your body — and how to gently shift them.
-Feel confident using simple self-releases/reflexes whenever you need them.
-Finally feel empowered to participate in your healing, instead of chasing one-off fixes.

When you join, you’ll get:
-Organ-by-organ modules — fascia, organ function, & emotions.
-Guided videos — step-by-step self-releases.
-A self-evaluation quiz for starting.
-Downloadable tools & PDFs
-Private FB group for your ?s

Why this course is different:
Most holistic programs focus only on chemistry. We take a multifaceted approach that blends:
Mechanics→ fascia, organ position, & body structure.
Chemistry→ nutrition & metabolic links.
Emotions→ hidden patterns behind tension & exhaustion.
By integrating all three, you achieve lasting change.

Created by a clinical physician with 7+ years of practice & hundreds of hours of study across multiple healing modalities — Dr. Jake distills the most effective, practical releases you can do at home.

FIRST, save this to come back again!

Your stomach’s job is simple: take in and process what you give it. But when emotions like worry, disgust, obsession, despair, nervousness, egotism, or feeling stifled build up, they can interfere. Overthinking and rumination (shared with the Spleen) often show up in the stomach as knots, bloating, or heaviness. These emotions tighten the diaphragm and surrounding fascia, leaving the stomach bound from the inside out.

Fascia and ligaments also hold the stomach in place, allowing it to expand and glide with each breath. When these supports stiffen, or when scars and adhesions form, the stomach can feel trapped, leading to fullness, bloating, ribcage pressure, or sharp pulling pains. Even the valves at the top and bottom — where food enters and exits — rely on fascial freedom. Tension here can cause reflux, heartburn, delayed emptying, nausea, or belching.

Fascia isn’t just mechanical; it’s rich with nerves connected to the autonomic nervous system. Tight fascia in the diaphragm, abdominal wall, or spine can overstimulate sympathetic activity or interfere with parasympathetic signals, reducing blood flow to the stomach, slowing digestion, and intensifying that “tight, knotted” sensation you notice when anxious or stressed.

Both emotions and fascial tension can combine to restrict the stomach’s movement and comfort. This is why you may feel bloated, heavy, or knotted even if you haven’t eaten much — it’s not just what’s in your stomach, it’s how your body is holding it.

More on what’s happening**↓**

But first, don’t forget to save this & FOLLOW us!

Your adrenal glands sit like little caps on your kidneys, tucked inside a snug connective tissue pocket called fascia. They’re not floating on their own — they’re anchored to surrounding fascia, vessels, & nerves. Any restriction in this network can directly affect how they function.

One of the biggest influences is the diaphragm. Its strong tendinous “legs,” called crura, attach to the spine. In front of them lie major nerve hubs — the celiac plexus and aorticorenal ganglia. These act like control centers for stress, triggering adrenaline release almost instantly & influencing pathways that drive cortisol. When the diaphragm or its fascia tightens, those nerve hubs can get irritated, leaving the adrenals stuck in “go mode.”

Restricted fascia also affects circulation. Normally, the diaphragm’s rhythm helps pump blood & lymph around the adrenal area, clearing waste & nourishing tissues. But when fascia stiffens, this natural motion is blunted. The glands can become more congested & less resilient.

Over time, constant tension & poor fluid movement create a stress loop. Some people feel wired & anxious, while others eventually crash with fatigue & low stress tolerance.

Good news is, fascia is adaptable. It can become fluid and springy again, which will lessen nerve irritation, improve fluid flow, & give the adrenals space to reset.

The kidneys don’t sit still…

Both your kidneys move slightly with each breath as the diaphragm drops. This motion supports circulation of blood & lymph so the kidneys can filter waste effectively. If fascia around the diaphragm, low back, or kidney itself becomes restricted, that glide is reduced. Over time, limited motion slows fluid exchange & creates congestion or a dull ache in the flank.
Fascial tension can also influence how urine drains. The ureters, which carry urine to the bladder, run along the psoas muscle. When its fascia is restricted, it can tug on or press the ureters, slowing flow & contributing to backup or stone formation.
The nerves that regulate fascia in the low back overlap with those that control the kidneys. When restricted fascia sends constant stress signals through these pathways, the kidney responds by tightening its blood vessels & holding more salt & water. This protective response, useful in short bursts, can elevate blood pressure & strain tissues if ongoing.
Fear intensifies this loop. In moments of fear, the brain releases adrenaline & the kidneys release renin. Together they raise blood pressure & conserve fluid through the renin–angiotensin system. At the same time, fear alters posture & breathing — the diaphragm moves less, the abdomen & back brace, & fascia becomes even more restricted. This combination adds both chemical & mechanical stress on the kidneys.
Over time the cycle sustains itself: fear restricts fascia, restricted fascia irritates nerves, nerves stress the kidney, & the kidney retains fluid & raises pressure. The body interprets these signals as ongoing threat, reinforcing the sense of fear & keeping the loop active unless something interrupts it.
