Before you can get the results you want...before you can successfully take on more 'intense' activities (e.g., strength training to failure, HIIT cardio, etc), you need to ensure you're working with a solid foundation.

That solid foundation is a ✨regulated nervous system✨

Trust me, you'll know when you're there... all of a sudden you'll feel more peaceful and grounded, starting and ending your day with a calmer and more enjoyable state of mind, you'll start to feel less body tension, you'll start to feel less emotionally reactive, you'll start to handle life's stressors with more ease. Can you imagine? 🤯

You need to have the energy bandwidth available, to take on big health and fitness goals.

You can't just willpower through everything. We are organisms that require so many chemical reactions and processes to function, and those require energy production. The supply is not endless, if we do not fuel and take care of the tank properly.

If you jump right into an intense regimen, without attending to the most basic underlying health metrics first, you mighttt be able to physically sustain the routine (at least for a while)...but at what cost?

🔑 Nervous system regulation starts with the slow, intentional, mindful stuff that assures your brain that you are SAFE.

This assurance of safety not only makes you feel great, but it allows you to then add-on other health habits and behaviors, and prevent injury and burnout, so you get the best results from your hard work.

Want to learn more? Want a guided breathing technique that you can do in 30 seconds or more, that will help you achieve this glorious goal and unlock your full potential?

When patients come in with ⬇️
- Hip pain
- Knee pain
- Ankle pain
- Foot pain
..tension, or any dysfuction in between...

My most effective therapeutic tools are ➡️
✨ education
💪 a progressive lower body strength training protocol

Amongst many other incredible health benefits, contraction the muscles in your lower body provides the bloodflow and neural input to help modulate pain, and the strength safeguards against future injury.

It is, quite literally, magic (when approached in a way that's appropriate for YOU).

📌 Strength training routine should be intentionally structured, to address muscles comprehensively, and avoid overuse injury.

If you need any support and guidance, visit LovelyBonesPT.com to work with Dr. Meg. Lovely Bones has your back. 🖤

In this video:
🔥 some warm-up exercises (i.e., muscle activation of calves, shins, glutes, hip flexors)

☑️ bulgarian split squats
☑️ weighted marches
☑️ hamstring curls
☑️ knee-elevated squats
☑️ stagger stance RDL + internal rotation

❄️ some cool-down exercises (i.e., mobility in all directions, ending on the floor with breathwork)

Consistency does not mean rigidity.

Consistency does mean discipline, but discipline can be applied at different 'levels of intensity'. The results you achieve won't be sustainable if you don't allow for flexibility.

Like any healthy system of checks and balances, you should be able to adapt your routine when needed. Sometimes, you may need to adapt to stressful life circumstances. Sometimes, you should consider adapting, not because you HAVE to, but because you deserve to embrace more unique, joyful activities. Vacation, or any dedicated time off, is a perfect time to lean into this.

Coming from someone who genuinely loves the gym...

My two cents? When you're able to set aside time to recharge, venture outside the box of formal workouts. It'll spark massive mental health boost, you'll likely feel a lot of nervous system regulation benefits, and you'll feel reinvigorated to return to routine afterwards.

Life is precious, make it fun when you can.

I am beyond grateful to announce that Lovely Bones is partnering with Project Kompass 🖤🧭

This organization started in 2020 as a champion for young women experiencing housing instability in the greater Boston area. Today, they continue to serve these women, providing transitional housing, life skills programming, a beautiful sense of family, and so much more. They have also expanded, opening a community center in Lowell, MA to close out 2025, where they are providing countless forms of support for those experiencing housing, food, job, and other forms of instability.

In a world that, at times, seems devoid of humanity...the impact of this work is immeasurable.

As a clinician devoted to helping people feel their best in body and mind, I knew I could help. When it comes to dismantling health inequity, access and education should be at the forefront.

Through bi-weekly workshops, we are tackling tons of health topics, including stress relief/nervous system regulation, and empowerment through movement.

I filmed this video, the day after my first session. I was immediately changed by these amazing individuals. I am so grateful to be a part of this community. 💫

➡️ Please check out ProjectKompass.org to donate, learn, or spread the word. We're all in this life, together.

Health is so much more...

When most people think of being "healthy", they think of trying to lose weight, or lift weight. They think of a plate full of veggies and an athlete hard at work.

➡️ Although food and movement are extremely powerful medicines that can keep the body free of disease and injury, the "other stuff" should never be understated.

To live a truly "healthy" life, you need to prioritize the pure joys, too. They can be simple – art, reading a book, talking with a loved one, looking through old photos, journaling, music, nature, the list is endless.

Engaging in the things that refuel your mental bandwidth and make you feel grounded WILL impact your health. These things impact the nervous system in a real, palpable way.

🖤 In this session of physical therapy, I made extra time to do a birthday week manicure. We had fun picking the color and yapping away while the paint dried.

What do you think would have left my patient feeling better...doing a few extra sets of wheelchair squats? or, showing off her cute mint green nails, and feeling beautiful?

You deserve holistic healthcare. 👊

Most people speak negatively...to themselves...and about themselves...every day.

When you start to notice just how often this happens, it's actually astounding.

There's a time and a place to work on ourselves, but we gain nothing from putting ourselves down at the end of the day.

Whether you're saying it out loud or not, the thoughts resonate in your nervous system. ⚡

I'm certainly not saying it's easy, but I am saying that disrupting these ingrained neural pathways is very possible.

The holidays are a time when a lot of body shaming can take place, as well as feelings of insufficiency due to decreased motivation, comparing yourself to others, the list goes on.

It doesn't have to be sappy. If you don't like what you see when you look in the mirror, for example, can you simply say "I respect this body I call home" (even if you don't believe it...yet) ???

You don't have to love yourself wholeheartedly today. But, can you start to notice the patterns that aren't serving you? 🖤

This practice holds power.

For me, last Christmas this came in the form of scream singing while I walked barefoot along the ocean. The ultimate catharsis, a walk, AND positive affirmations all-in-one. ✨

What form of affirmation feels best for you?

Peace in body and mind is more attainable than you'd think. ✨

Because of our knowledge of the nervous system...the circuit of receiving inputs, processing data, and relaying outputs...we know what tools will create your desired 'environment'.

We can effectively communicate with our brain, to get the desired output, by using techniques that utilize specific inputs. This, to me, is the most magical thing in the world!! 😍

Often, that sought-after result is feeling more relaxed (no aches/pains/tension, no emotional distress).

In this modern day hustle and bustle world, we all deserve to feel more grounded, less reactive, and generally...just healthier and happier.

Today, I gave a presentation to the amazing folks at EBSCO Information Services () that focused on stress, nervous system regulation, and a guided session that gave people SUPER realistic tools for their stress-relief toolbox. 🧰

➡️ Need help in the stress reduction department? Want to hire me to give a talk at your place of work or otherwise? Reach out any time. It's my honor to make you feel empowered to take control of your well-being. ⚡
