“I didn’t realize I was holding so much tension there.” - I hear this all the time in sessions.

Our bodies adapt to stress so well that tension can become normal—until someone helps you notice it. Jaw, shoulders, ribs, hips, diaphragm… chronic holding patterns often build quietly over time.

Sometimes pain isn’t caused by one big event—it’s years of subtle compensation your body has been carrying for you.

Our bodies are always communicating with us. Sometimes we just need the space to slow down and listen.

Where do you tend to hold the most tension and stress in your body? Take a moment and notice it. What is your body trying to tell you?

I never expected my work to start in a delivery room… but that’s exactly what happened.

When my youngest was born, he had trouble breastfeeding and showed signs of tension that didn’t feel like “just normal newborn stuff.”
As I started digging, I learned how common this is—especially for C-section babies. When a CFT practitioner came through our town, I jumped at the chance of having him treated.

After just two sessions, I watched my baby soften, feed better, and settle easier.
It changed so much for both of us.

But there was one problem:
There were hardly any CFT practitioners in our area.

So I did what moms tend to do - I figured out how to get him what he needed.
I got trained in CFT myself.

From there, everything clicked—my background in integrative health, my love for helping women feel supported, my passion for understanding the body’s patterns and tension. Eventually I went to massage school, deepened my therapeutic work, and now blend it all into what Health Forward is today.

This work is personal.
It began with my own child, but it’s grown into a calling—helping women, families, and little ones find comfort, relief, and a path forward.”

💛 Thanks for being here and trusting me with your care.
