You've never heard of this muscle. But it might be running your entire stress response. 👇

The psoas connects your spine to your legs — and wraps directly around your nervous system.

It's your body's first responder to threat. It contracts before you even think.
Chronic stress = chronic contraction = lower back pain + shallow breathing + anxiety.

Not three separate problems. One muscle that never got to let go.

TRE isn't only for the person on the mat.

When we taught it to healthcare staff recovering from the pandemic, it was clear: the people holding the highest nervous system demand often have the fewest tools to tend to their own regulation.

This work belongs there too.

"You just need to relax."If you've heard that and felt more frustrated, not less — that's not a failure of willpower. That's your nervous system telling you something deeper is going on.The physiological patterns behind anxiety, hypervigilance, chronic tension, or emotional flooding aren't character flaws.

They're biological responses to real experiences — imprints stored in the body's autonomic state, not just the thinking mind.The difference matters because it changes what actually helps. Managing symptoms and resolving their root are not the same thing.If you're curious what it looks like to work at that deeper level, a free consultation is a good place to start. Link in bio.

A brief introduction to the tremor response — sometimes just 30 seconds to two minutes — can have a remarkable impact on someone's felt-sense and nervous system.

They stand up. They lay down. And they say things they've never said about their own body before.

That's the power of working bottom-up.

"Healing happens when we feel safe enough to be honest with ourselves — and someone else is genuinely there."

That's Mallory Burggraaf's philosophy — and it shows up in everything she does.

Mallory is a Somatic Coach with over 11 years in the healing profession. She works with relational and event trauma through a deeply embodied lens — drawing on Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, DARe Attachment Coaching, and Reiki Energy Work.

Her clients describe her as warm, grounding, and consent-oriented. Someone who makes vulnerability feel possible from the first session.

Mallory is now accepting new clients online through Red Beard Somatic Therapy.

Trauma doesn't just live in your memory. It lives in your body. 🧠

Your nervous system has a 72-hour window to process a stressful event.

If it doesn't resolve? It gets stored — in your tissue, your posture, your chronic tension.

This is why you can KNOW you're safe and still feel afraid.
The logical mind can be convinced. The nervous system has to be shown.

Before the big cathartic work, there's foundational work
In somatic experiencing, we call it the window of tolerance — the zone where your nervous system feels safe enough to function within normal ranges.

Expanding that capacity slowly, with awareness, is the most important work in the beginning.

"Healing isn't just about releasing pain. It's about helping your nervous system remember it was never broken at all."

Meet Aleksandra Bazinska — somatic coach, PhD in Holistic Health, and one of the most quietly gifted practitioners we've ever had the honour of welcoming to Red Beard.

She's spent over 6,300 hours studying clinical psychology in Poland, trained in Somatic Experiencing, IFS, DARe, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy — and somehow, after all of that, what people remember most is the softness of her presence.

If you've been searching for someone who can meet the parts of you that don't always have words yet, Aleksandra might be that person.

She's currently accepting new clients online. A free consultation is the gentlest way to begin

What does the breath know that the thinking mind hasn't caught up to yet?

On Episode 75, Alex is joined by Mike Maher — breathwork coach and founder of Take A Deep Breath — for a conversation at the intersection of two somatic practices that rarely get discussed in the same room.

Breathwork and TRE both bypass cognition. Both speak directly to the autonomic nervous system. And both trust the body to do something the thinking mind can't quite plan for.

Listen in as they explore how these two modalities complement each other — and what opens up when the breath becomes the invitation, and the tremor becomes the response.

Tight shoulders. A gut that will not settle. Pain that shifts around no matter what you try.

If you have done the stretching, the massage, the sleep hygiene — and the tension keeps coming back — your body is not broken. It has been stuck in a protective pattern. And that pattern can change.

We work with the nervous system to help the body feel safe enough to let go. Book a call at Red Beard Somatic Therapy — https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=21594065&appointmentType=category:Free%20Consultation
