My daughter recently started school four days a week for a few hours in the morning. It’s been a bitter sweet transition navigating the diverse feelings of joy I am finding in the extra time I have to read and write and revisit movement practices that haven’t had much attention the past two years, and then the guilt for enjoying that time and space and also the sadness at not having those slow mornings together where everything unfolds in toddler time and full of wonder and mostly naked ( well at least she is).

All in all, it’s been a good thing for all of us, she gets to bake bread and play in the sandbox and frog pond and eat delicious healthy muffins and I, hopefully will have alittle more time to update here more regularly 😅💛
Stay tuned

If you’re wondering what’s happening in this moment…. Let me tell you- we were trying to do a business photo shoot and someone ( not sure who...) made a Eminem reference and the teenager in me couldn’t resist singing the rest of the 8 mile lyrics 😅 so this is me getting really into it.

It was very fun and very silly.

AND don’t worry, this doesn’t happen in regular sessions. This one was special but if you happen to not mind the fun and silly and are interested in modeling for a business photo shoot, DM me!

Online booking is live y’all! Finally figured it out and I’m sure there are imperfections along the way so if you notice anything, please let me know!

Also wanted to let you know that my other super power is playing tetris with storage units. Look how organized that is. Will work for snacks 😉

So hop on my website and book a session or send me a DM if you need help with this organizational wizard 🧙🏼

Welp, January always seems to be a hard month… post holidays, back to work, getting sick, never ending to do lists, deary Maine winter…..

I was at regular check up with my P*P and I was filling out the standard depression screener and I found myself thinking that these aren’t fair questions during the deep maine winter. 😅

It’s definitely that season where we need self care the most, whether that’s knitting quietly by yourself or going skiing or eating the yummiest of foods or scheduling that appointment you’ve been meaning to.

I’m getting a massage on Sunday and then I’m seeing a acupuncturist the week after AND I’m debating going to see this chiropractor in town I’ve been wanting to try. And I just might! Anyway this is your reminder to take the utmost care of yourself right now, in whatever way that is most nourishing.

Also it’s the season of cancellations so let me know if you want to be on my short list! 💛🤘🏽🫶🏼

Felt cute! Another win for the barefoot shoe collective!

are beautiful 🫠💛

Finding cute and function footwear has been so difficult. It’s making me want to open a shop so people can try them on! And not have to try so hard to understand what brands and styles are available!

It also makes me sad how many terrible for your feet shoes are out there. Honestly once you start looking and tune in, it’s a little horrifying. Our shoes should be foot shaped, not the other way around.

If anyone wants to chat about footwear please feel free to DM me and we can geek out together 😅🌾✨

Hey y’all, social media is harddd. It’s hard for me any way. Finding the right words to share here always seems to take me so much longer than I want. I imagine it to be this easy effortless expression of self and business and and and …surprise…. It’s not. I find myself agonizing over word choice and photo composition and whether or not my facts are correct and how do I really want to represent myself. It keeps spiraling from there.

But I’m gonna try and change that.

I’ve been geeking out about barefoot or zero drop shoes for a few months as I was receiving a structural integration 12 series. Its unlocked a new level of comfort and understanding in my body’s journey to strengthen and support the foundation of my body. I read “Born to Run” over a decade ago and have dabbled in barefoot running and shoes but never took it seriously. And it turns out finding shoes that are actually good for your feet and cute is freaking hard! The past two months I’ve purchased and returned 6 pairs of shoes… don’t worry I found a two pairs that feel good 😬

Other things I’d like to share are what structural integration even is, what fascia is, some self care massage and movement tips and practices, sites and products I’ve found helpful and probably some baby content 😅

So here’s to sharing and being authentic and weird and making it apart of the growth journey 🤘🏼

So as it turns out after you give birth and you try to jump on a trampoline, you p*e your pants a little.

Not a lot. Just a little. It might feel like a lot… but don’t worry it’s not.

And that’s how I found myself seeking out pelvic floor PT to try to reconnect my deep core and find stability And not to p*e my pants, even if it’s just a little. I left those 6 weeks with incredibly simple and incredible hard exercises. Which it Turns out of you are doing something else while you’re doing a kegel, you’re either very very good at them or not doing them right. 😅

One of the other things I’ve been doing on this road through postpartum motherhood is receiving a structural integration 12 series.

I can’t not tell you what a blessing it is to be able to connect and feel comfort in my body again. Remembering what it’s like to walk with levity and stand up tall after such beautiful and exhausting work of caring for a newborn cutie….It’s Truly magic.

Feeling better in your body takes a mix of specialized corrective exercises and structural body work, awareness and most importantly the desire to change.

It is not easy but so so worth it.

I’ll be sharing some tidbits from my 12 series journey in my stories, if you’re curious!

Happy New Year!

Phew! 2022 was a big one. Meet Juniper Jane, the sweet chubby cheeked cutie, now four months old.

I had no idea that the chubbiness in babies cheek is actually incredible muscle development. Babies are strong and they need their snacks, let me tell you!

Needless to say I took a break from work for the past few months, clocking long nights, lots of snacks, some crying, some beautiful gentle walks and a healthy dose of naps.

It’s the new year and as I’m starting to feel my energy come back, I will be seeing clients on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons and early evenings.

DM, Email or Text to get an appointment! Would love to see you!

What am I doing you might ask? Curious thing to be doing to one’s self…. 🧐

This photo was taken during my structural integration training this spring where we were learning about session 8. As you can imagine, it’s very important to understand the experience before you share it with others😮🙈

Session 8 is after you’ve spend significant time addressing all the fascial trains in the body and supporting the pelvic and shoulder girdle alignment. Session 8 focuses on how we can allow for more ease in the cervical spine and the way the head is carried by looking at things like alignment of the cervical vertebra, under lying structures, jaw movement, swallowing effectively, and creating space for the nasal conch and cranial bone to have more comfortable alignment.

As you can imagine it’s quite an intense and opening experience to receive intraoral and intranasal work. Every one has different accounts of their experiences but one common thread is that it is profound!

Leave questions or thoughts below! Always happy to talk about Structural Integration 😊
