If movement causes migraines… then why are my clients finally getting relief after they started moving?

If movement is so dangerous for people with migraines…

Then why do my clients feel more freedom and less pain after they start moving again?

Let me explain.

After working with hundreds of clients—many of whom were told to “just rest” or “avoid exercise” to avoid triggering migraines—I realized we’ve been missing a critical piece of the puzzle.

🚫 The problem isn’t the movement.
⚠️ It’s the state your nervous system is in before the movement begins.

Most people live stuck in fight-or-flight.
Add movement on top of that? It feels like too much.
So they stop moving.
And their symptoms get worse.

But here’s the truth...

✅ The right movement, done at the right time, in the right state, is one of the most powerful migraine-relief tools you have.

Why? Because movement:

Acts as a nervous system reset

Increases blood flow to the brain

Boosts natural pain-relieving chemicals

Improves posture, mobility, and muscle stability that directly affect the neck and shoulders (a big trigger zone for migraineurs)

💥 I’ve had clients who were afraid to walk or stretch...

But once we paired gentle mobility + breathwork to calm their system first, then added the right strength or stability movements… their headaches started fading.

They didn’t need more rest.
They needed the right dose of movement with the right reset before it.

So here’s the missing link:
👉 It’s not about avoiding movement.
It’s about retraining your brain and nervous system so movement becomes your medicine.

🧠 Key takeaway:
If you’re living with migraines, movement isn’t the enemy.
It may be your way out.

👇 Now I want to hear from you:

Let’s open the conversation. What’s your relationship with movement like since dealing with migraines & headaches?

She gave up everything.
Coffee. Chocolate. Wine.
But the migraines still came.

The old approach had her in survival mode.
But what changed her life wasn’t restriction—it was resilience.

She learned how to calm her nervous system and rewire her brain for relief.

💥 I’ve helped 500+ women do the same.
Now I’ve got 3 spots open for women ready to end the cycle.

✅ Chronic migraines
✅ Tired of chasing triggers
✅ Willing to show up for 30 minutes a day

Migraines follow a pattern. And when you recognize it—you regain your power.

Before the pain shows up… your body’s already talking to you.

Neck stiffness. Food cravings. Brain fog. Yawning.
These are not random. These are prodrome signs—your body’s early warnings.

And after the migraine? That groggy, foggy feeling?
That’s postdrome—and it matters just as much.

Most people only address the pain. But the real solution is learning to read all 5 stages of a migraine—and taking action at the right time.

🧠 Understanding the full cycle changes everything.

I’ve created a simple cheat sheet to help you map your migraines and learn when to rest, reset, and reclaim your energy.

Most migraine advice focuses on what to do after the pain hits.

But what if you could train your brain to avoid it in the first place?

That’s what I teach — and it’s rooted in something powerful called neuroplasticity.

Here’s how I help busy parents and professionals rewire their brain to reduce migraine triggers daily:

💡 Breathe intentionally (4-4-4-4)
🧘‍♂️ Take stress-reducing “mini breaks”
🧠 Train proactively, not reactively

Every consistent action helps your brain learn:
“You’re safe. You don’t need to fire in pain.”

I’m not afraid to say controversial things.

And I’m not afraid to say this…

If you think your migraines are “just genetic,” you're giving up your power.

🧠 Migraine Relief Isn’t Just About Your Head… It’s About Your Nervous System.

Most people treat migraines like a head problem.

But here’s the truth:

👉 Migraines are a nervous system problem.

Your brain isn’t just reacting to light, food, or stress…

It’s stuck in a loop.

A loop of overstimulation, tension, and survival mode.

Until you reset your nervous system, you’ll stay stuck in the cycle:

Pain → Fatigue → Medication → Repeat.

💡 That’s why inside my Migraine Mastery System, we train the nervous system to feel safe again.

TRY THIS BELLY BREATHING RESET (2 MIN):

🧘‍♀️ Most people breathe shallow, into their chest.

Why? Because the body’s holding tension. It’s bracing.

But belly breathing is different.

👉 Sit or lie down with one hand on your chest, one on your belly.

Breathe in through your nose for 4 seconds — feel your belly rise, not your chest.

Hold for 4 seconds.

Exhale slow through your mouth for 6-8 seconds — feel your belly fall.

Repeat 6-10 times.

This activates your rest and digest system (aka healing mode).

It tells your brain:

“You’re safe. You can calm down now.”

The excitement in their voice tugs at your heart.

But you can’t. Not today. Just like you couldn’t two days ago… and again last week.

Instead, you’re curled up in bed, lights off, a pillow pressed against your aching head. The weight of the migraine is unbearable—but the weight of the guilt? Even heavier.

I should be out there. I should be playing with them. I hope they don’t think I don’t care…

You swallow hard, squeeze your eyes shut, wishing the pain away. They deserve more than this version of me.

If this feels familiar, you’re not alone. Migraines steal moments—precious ones. But they don’t have to win. It’s time to take back control, one step at a time. Because your kids don’t just want you to watch—they want you there. 💛

What’s one moment migraines have stolen from you that you wish you could take back? 👇

🚨 The real reason everyone is using ChatGPT & AI… 🚨

I have a confession to make…

I haven’t been giving you all the time & value you deserve.

Instead of slowing down to the speed of Jesus & eliminating noise to produce great & deep work...

I’ve been rushing my content—pushing things out quickly with AI, rather than giving you my BEST.

But here’s the truth: You deserve better.

Because what we’re dealing with isn’t just “content.”

We’re talking about migraines, chronic pain, and daily headaches—things that disrupt your life, steal your energy, and make you feel stuck in a cycle that never ends.

People dismiss your symptoms.

They tell you it’s all in your head. Even doctors throw their hands up and say, “You just have to live with it.”

❌ That’s a lie.

💡 My client Ana was in the same position—crippling migraines, daily headaches, constant neck & back pain.

She felt hopeless. But now? She’s living pain-free.

And if she can do it, so can you.

I didn't want to admit this...

I’ve always been the type to take on more than I should.

💻 More projects
📅 More responsibilities
💪 More “I got this” moments when, deep down, I was drowning

It’s a habit that’s hard to break.

I’ve built a business helping women conquer migraines for good, empowering them to enjoy a vibrant, headache-free life without the constant fear of the next attack.

But if I’m being honest… I haven’t always followed my own advice.

I push hard. I keep going. I take on too much because slowing down feels like falling behind.

And the result?

😞 Burnout
🥱 Exhaustion
😩 Feeling stretched so thin that even the things I love—family, fitness, my own health—start taking a hit

It’s frustrating because I know better.

I know that doing more isn’t always the answer. That sometimes, less is more.

That real, lasting change happens when you focus on the right things—not just trying to do everything at once.

And I see this all the time with the people I help.

They try to fix their pain by stretching more, taking more supplements, avoiding more triggers, adding more to their plate.

But the truth is, the real fix isn’t in doing more. It’s in doing what actually works.

That’s what I’m learning right now.

Not just pushing harder—but working smarter.

Not just taking on more—but prioritizing what matters.

And if this hits home for you, just know you’re not alone.

Drop a “🙋‍♂️” if you’ve ever struggled with taking on too much. Let’s be real about it.
