After 10 years of working on patients’ jaws, one thing is undeniable. We store emotions there. And not the pleasant ones.

You’ve probably seen the viral video of LeAnn Rimes sobbing with relief after her jaw release on . 😬🎥

The body naturally responds to stress by clenching the jaw. Grief. Anger. Resentment. A lifetime of words swallowed rather than spoken. The jaw and the pelvis hold these things for us until we are ready to process, experience, and integrate them.

Through trauma-informed chiropractic, somatic bodywork, and buccal massage, I help patients release that stored tension safely and intentionally — so you can breathe deeper, feel lighter, and finally let that old weight go.

That moment when years of unaddressed tension finally breaks free? It isn't always pretty, but it is always powerful. And it’s exactly why I offer gentle, effective jaw release work here at Spine & Spirit. My office is designed to hold you gently from the moment you walk in the door. Our first visit is just us, spending a full hour together to help you feel safe and at home in your body.

💫 Your jaw isn’t just about chewing or talking — it’s the portal between how you experience your inner world and how you express it. When that fascia stays stuck, it can contribute to physical symptoms including:

💥TMJ pain & clicking
💥Headaches & migraines
💥Neck tightness
💥Shallow breathing
💥Anxiety

If LeAnn’s video hit home and you’re ready to experience your own release, I’d love to support you and hold space for what unfolds. I'm located in NW OKC and appointments can be scheduled directly from the link in the bio. 🔗🗓

👨 The isn't just for women. ♂️

Here's Mark Newman, the founder of , at the Q&A portion of Dutch Fest 2026 answering my question about identifying patterns on a Dutch report that predispose men to prostate cancer risk.

In addition to testing testosterone levels, the Dutch test illuminates what's happening in the entire androgen pathway by reporting 5 markers downstream of DHEA. It also reports on estrogen levels and how your liver processes estrogen metabolites.

In addition to s*x hormones, the Dutch Complete also tests cortisol, melatonin, and 10 OATs that paint a picture for B-vitamin deficiencies, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and gut dysbiosis.

What I love the most about offering this test to my patients at is how comprehensive it is. With 4 easy urine collections done at home, you get a 13 page report detailing what your hormones are doing from the moment you wake up to when you go to bed at night.

Are your testosterone levels "normal" but you still experience fatigue, low s*x drive, or an inability to build muscle mass? Don't settle for surface-level answers. It's time to look at the full picture of what your hormones are doing. 📈

📆 Dutch Complete test kits are currently in stock and new patient appointments are still available this week (Tuesday–Saturday). Book your appointment now from the link in bio before they're gone! 🔗

🍀 Happy St. Patrick's Day from Spine and Spirit! 🍀

This Irish blessing always sits in the corner of my office, but today felt like the perfect day to share it with you.

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And, until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

🐍 May your day be blessed and bountiful. 💚

Let's talk medicinal plants! 📞🌿

Unlike pharmaceuticals, which often have a single mechanism of action, plant compounds offer a synergistic cascade effect, meaning that the plant's entire chemistry offers a greater effect than the sum of their individual parts.

That's why no bacteria on earth exists that's evolved to be resistant to herbs. When used correctly, herbs can be powerful medicine. 🌱⚕️

All the plants I personally tincture and consume are grown organically in my backyard. Never consume a plant in the wild that you can not personally identify with 100% certainty! First year mullein plants are commonly misidentified as they resemble deadly foxglove. ☠️☣️

I will have dozens of second year mullein plant starts available for $5 purchase this spring. They will shoot stalks in the fall and self seed every season thereafter! In addition to making great medicine, their stalks can also be dried and turned into torches, traditionally burned during the Celtic fire festival of Beltane, also known as May Day! 🌸🌼
