✨ Thank you, , for the opportunity to create some fresh content! It’s been such a joy getting to know this incredible community.

Through the ups and downs of a pandemic and economic challenges, I’ve felt so honored to serve my clients. To those who have shared milestones, trusted me through life’s seasons, and given me space to do what I love—thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I’m excited to share that I’m transitioning into a full-time nonprofit role, but I’ll still be here for you! I’ll continue to offer evening and weekend availability, and if you don’t see a time that works on my schedule, just send me a DM—I’ll do my best to make it happen.

Kansas City, thank you for everything. I’m so grateful for this community, and I can’t wait to keep working together. 🩵

“We all harden ourselves, every single day.

We may not know it as it’s happening, but we will undoubtedly experience its effects.

Tension is the stress response finding a home in our body.”
—Jillian Pransky, Deep Listening

In my experience, muscle tension is different from muscle tightness.

Tightness is when you use a muscle in some way and it doesn’t return to its resting length, say from exercising or gardening or moving heavy furniture.

Tension usually contains a psychological or emotional component.

Tension can be long-standing and result from something physical, like the way we try to protect ourselves from a past injury. Or it might accumulate as a result of an old hurt—the way we may slouch because we were made fun of in third grade. Maybe it’s something we carry from living in a house where parents were always fighting or from living in a country that’s in constant strife.

Our body is responding to feeling provoked or overwhelmed, to feeling left out or unloved. Tension is the way we store what we don’t want to feel, and it’s also the way we shield ourselves from what we don’t want to take in.

✨Meeting tension requires compassionate awareness, patience, and kindness.✨
