✨ Metaphysics of Grief ✨
Sometimes grief hides in the strangest places—like the tender hollows of the armpits, where the heart’s rivers meet the body’s wings.
Through acupressure, breath, and red light, I release what words can’t—
each morning, I let the tears move with the current,
turning pain into permission to feel, to soften, to begin again. 🌹

It occurred to me in meditation this morning that all of my favorite things exist beyond words —
the language of dance, sound medicine, movement, human touch, breath, nature, and art.

The communion, the resonance, the coherence.
In spirit — inspired.
They touch that place that lights you up.

They speak in vibration, in rhythm, in remembrance.
This is the universal language —
the one that bridges every gap,
bringing us back to our beautiful oneness.

May it be so.
Ashe. Ashe. Ashe.

✨ WEEKEND RECAP: Texas, Fascia, Horses, Storms & Magic! ✨

My colleague Matt Blunt and I took off to Aubrey, Texas for a two-day fascial release continuing education with the legendary Maria Alfieris of Magical Hands Physical Therapy and the amazing Ayla Reed at The Good Medicine Collective 🐎💫

But this was so much more than continuing education.

This was “fascianation”

My made up word for fascia release , horse medicine, energy work, nature therapy all communing together in pure magic.

Through slow, deep sinking in and attuned presence, fascia becomes a living conversation with the nervous system.
It’s where the body stores unprocessed emotion, trauma, and memory , guarding patterns — and when given safety, it knows exactly how to unwind. The inner healer awakens.

Between hands-on lessons with Maria, energy work with shaman Ayla, and time in the field with her horses who are energy healers, so much opened — physically, emotionally, spiritually.
Old layers surfaced, released, and integrated in ways words can’t quite capture.

We learned that horses carry both thunder and lightning energy ⚡️
Lacey and Mizzy knew exactly what to do — guiding us, holding space.
This part of Texas has been super dry… but we brought the rain.
Two nights of thunderstorms in the tepee — tarping at 1 a.m. — turned into the kind of team building we’ll never forget. The waters were a cleansing.

Now, Matt and I are bringing fascial release back to Pittsburg, Kansas, becoming the first approved practitioners in the state of Kansas on Maria Alfieris list! We can’t wait to integrate this modality into our trauma-informed bodywork at Whole Human supporting clients with stress, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, trauma recovery and more!

So much gratitude for this experience .

Now… time to integrate and sleep in my own bed. Ahhhh. 💤

When Maria worked on my colon today, a lot came up for me.
As most of you know, I have a complex trauma history — and it’s exactly why I got into this work . I just want to be vulnerable here and share my lived experience, because I believe it can help others.

As a young child, I was always constipated. Looking back, I know that was connected to violations I experienced. I had to go to the doctor for enemas— and that carried a lot of shame.

Then there’s the memory of when I tried to leave this plane of existence at sixteen. I had my stomach pumped, and afterward there was concern about permanent damage to my colon. And that’s exactly where Maria was working — on the colon.

I could feel the emotions rising — remembering being in the ER, fading in and out, surrounded by healthcare workers who judged and shamed me.

I’ve also lived with an eating disorder that started early in childhood. Because of that, I often have no appetite. I’ve had to force-feed myself many times — disconnected from my gut for so long because it was just too much.

This core part of me has been holding so much.
And I literally needed someone to sit with me or on me lol— to hold space with loving attunement and intention — while I reconnected to a part of myself I didn’t even remember.

This is what reestablishing the mind-body connection looks like.
This is breathing into the places you shut down.
This is your way home.
This is fascia-release!

And here’s what’s wild — as I was having energy and fascial release done in my descending colon, the horses outside began rolling in the dirt, neighing and snorting loudly.

Metaphysically, horses are mirrors. They absorb, reflect, and help move energy through the Earth’s field. When a horse rolls, it’s grounding, recalibrating, and integrating what’s been released. When they snort or neigh, it’s a vibrational clearing — sound as medicine.

So when Lacy started rolling and calling out, it was like the land itself joined in the healing.
The horses were helping me release.
The Earth was helping me remember.
Attuned human touch holding space — my body beginning to trust again.

Man… oof, I’m clearing some s**t.
Literally. Spiritually. Mentally.

Wow.

I can’t wait to share all I’ve learned.
We are definitely upleveling.
It’s time to reclaim our sovereignty💫

Thank you Maria Alfieris , Cindy & (Instagram) for creating a magical weekend at The Good Medicine Collective in Aubrey, TX💗

We survived our first night of torrential downpours in the tepee! We battened down the hatches with tarps at 1am and preserved a little sliver of dry. Now off to continuing ed with Maria Alfieris of Magical Hands Physical Therapy Continuing Education Company 2 day fascial release with the horses ✨🌀💫

10/23/2025

Had a moment of shock and awe realizing I’m now booked out about seven weeks that feels so surreal and deeply humbling.

December also marks my first full year in business, and I’m feeling all the emotions — gratitude, reflection, and excitement for what’s ahead.

I only have a few appointments left for the rest of the year, and I wanted to share those below for anyone hoping to get in before 2026.

I head down to TX for some continuing education this weekend to train under Maria Alfieris of Magical Hands Physical Therapy Continuing Education Company. I am inspired and eager to keep deepening my practice especially with fascia release, breath-work, sound therapy and more guided meditation in 2026!

Thank you to each of you who have entrusted me with your most sacred, vulnerable this year. My hope has always been to serve as a gentle guide — helping you find your way back to your body’s innate wisdom and its natural capacity to heal.

✨ Remaining Openings for 2025:
Fri, Dec 19 – 12:00PM

Me all before 9:30am. This is just a little part of what I do everyday to be grounded and regulated. I could not do the work I do without taking care of myself. I create safe spaces for the heaviest of s**t. When you work with me know that I’m in the trenches alongside you- giving a medicine I have personally benefited from as a survivor of complex trauma and chronic pain. I just need you to know that there is hope. There is a way back home to you , beautiful soul.

💫 Thank you to my client who sent this to me! 💫

I listened to this podcast on my drive home from Springfield today — and wow… if you live with chronic pain, this is an absolute must-listen!

In this episode of Mel Robbins Show, Dr. Sanjay Gupta — world-renowned neurosurgeon and author of It Doesn’t Have to Hurt: Your Smart Guide to a Pain-Free Life — shares how chronic pain is real, but also deeply connected to the brain, the nervous system, and how safe we feel inside ourselves.

He talks about how movement, meditation, and the body’s own natural chemistry can help us heal in ways that painkillers simply can’t. I found myself in tears hearing his heart for the women in his family, his compassion for his patients, and his ability to speak truth without minimizing anyone’s experience.

Even though my work is rooted in the ancient healing arts, I felt like a colleague listening to him. At the heart of both of our approaches is helping people with chronic pain and complex trauma — two experiences that are so often intertwined.

At the root of both is the loss of felt safety.
We can call it trauma, stress, burnout, or illness — but when we strip away the labels and the ego, it really comes down to two words: felt safety.

It’s not the trauma itself that wounds us most — it’s not having a grounded, attuned nervous system to help us process and regulate afterward. When that’s missing, the body can get stuck in survival mode — fight, flight, or freeze.

The work I do provides primal sensory input to the body and nervous system — helping it remember what safety actually feels like. Not by talking about it or analyzing it, but by offering a real, embodied experience of it. Through massage, breathwork, and sound therapy, the body begins to reawaken — creating resonance and coherence.

(And honestly, if you want to know how the pyramids were built… probably through our combined resonance and coherence. But that’s a whol other conversation)

Dr. Gupta also explains how the body can produce its own endogenous opioids — natural pain-relieving chemicals that are far healthier for us than synthetic opioids found in pills. When our bodies create their own opiates, it changes the feedback loop of pain — reducing dependency, calming the nervous system, and supporting long-term healing.

I hope that one day massage therapy is mentioned more often in these conversations, because there’s so much clinical research showing how it directly affects nociceptors (pain receptors), and naturally boosts serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and those same endogenous opioids Dr. Gupta describes.

And to dream a little bigger…. Wouldn’t it be amazing if doctors and therapists could prescribe massage therapy more freely — and insurance actually covered it? I dream of that day💗🌀✨

🎧 Give this episode a listen — it’s hopeful, eye-opening, and deeply validating:

I hold space, create safe containers, give you the sensory experience of safety though primal inputs because without the experience we are just talking philosophy. We must bring the body into the equation to integrate and heal. I’m here to help❤️‍🩹

I heard it said that sitting all day is like the new smoking. I kind of agree! This is your reminder to move that beautiful body of yours ✨
