As a holistic practitioner, one of the things that really frustrates me is hearing when my clients tell me stories of seeking help for pain and injury through their general doctor only to be prescribed anti-depressants (SSRI’s) with some protocol physical therapy that doesn’t address the core problem.

I get it, it’s depressing to face the way pain and injury take over your life. Managing all the appointments, trusting the process even though it takes so much energy to keep everything on track.

I even understand how some drugs address pain in the body through reducing nerve irritation or inflammation.

But all those drugs are just bandaids. They aren’t meant to be a long-term solution.

In fact, when I listened to this evidence of how many people go off of these drugs with so many complicated withdrawal symptoms, I wanted to remind you there are other ways to manage returning to living a better way.

Listen Here https://www.npr.org/2025/07/13/nx-s1-5464831/a-new-study-renews-the-debate-around-withdrawal-from-stopping-antidepressants

Even though this study points to inconclusive results in the study, it shows how important it is to look closer at this phenomenon.

There are so many questions that need to be asked. Like, why do they work for some people while creating almost manic effects in others?

I’ve seen this firsthand, the side-effects that start to emerge when the drug is not a good match.

In Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, we know that some body types or constitutions need to be considered when finding help with drugs for emotional stress and symptoms.

That’s why looking at the individual is an essential part of problem solving in my approach to lifestyle wellness.
In my clinic room, I’ve helped thousands of people going through debilitating pain and injury through matching the variety of services I have for what they’re going through.

🧬🔑♑️🌕

I’ve been reminding mySelf where I come from. How the seeds of healing sprouted into form and practice. How I was shown my gifts and the ways to use them.

As I approach the last day of being 51, I’m reflecting on what I learned in my class and coaching around with the fabulous and best business coach I’ve found: Michelle Smith, moonifestor of the Clarity Room.

Looking at my Gene keys, I have an unusual pattern of 19s. They show up 3 times! 19 in Human Design is Highly sensitive and the shadow is co-dependance (which is another cosmic joke because I’m a mirror twin, I didn’t arrive alone.

It makes me smile when I see the gift of sensitivity. With animals and humans.

Considering my first long-term nature relationship was with the family of rolly-pollies living in our apple orchard on Bainbridge Island.

The animal relationships continued when we moved to Ohio and I started talking to cows. They most certainly talked back. I had so many heartbreaking relationships with sickly babies who came and went.

And then I found out my hands could feel pain. I could zoom right into a place where people needed relief when we sat around giving each other massage after we closed the Coccia House Pizza. That’s where they said, “Hillery, you’re good at this!”.

All along the way, as my Gene Key 19 shows me, is the art of listening. It’s a blessing and a curse. This deep listening comes through my interchangeable senses.

I can feel beyond your words and your tissues.

There are some roles that we have, in this case, I find it unusual for both to be present. I find folks are either Talkers or Listeners.

I am a listener. With my ears, my senses, my sources and my hands.

I started my career working with folks going through cancer treatment. I knew there were ways to help pacify the side-effects. That meant I also witnessed the full experience of what cancer and the treatments do to people. I lost 34 (at last count) friends and family to cancer.

I work for myself, my pricing reflects my equipment, products, skills, experience, and evolution. I’ve been doing this for 20 years- 15 full time. I’ve worked for spas, doctors, yoga studios and myself.

My pricing reflects the total worth of my service. I don’t have pressure to overperform or give extra. Without that pressure, I avoid burnout and the frequency between me and my client is balanced. They know I’m going to help their problem immediately.

Because of my dedication to the art of massage, I devote a huge amount of time and money on polishing my skill set. I go beyond the required continuing education, and I don’t fill up my CEU’s with classes just to fulfill the requirement.

I know what I’m wanting to study and the way that specifically helps what I specialize in: Helping alleviate, support and relieve Complex Chronic Conditions through approaches that consider the whole body/breath/spirit, internal organs, fluid movement, and your lifestyle.

If they came in limping, they’re leaving my room with more alignment and less pain.

I don’t want to throw people off thinking they have to tip on top of my pricing. So when you look at my massage menu with all the options and not decide to schedule with me based on my pricing. Know that you just overlooked the exact help you’re looking for because you assumed I’m too expensive and you had to pay on top of what you see.

Now you know that when you book with me, the price you see is the price you pay.

Balanced energy centers are essential right now.

Observe, notice, check IN 🧎🏽‍♂️

Yoga’s subtle body anatomy combined with TCM principles of excess and deficiency can show us where things are jammed with too much attraction and aversion.

What are you doing excessively? And what are you repelling? Are those energies really making you happy? From the inside?

When “The World Event” emerged, we experienced no-separation. No[body] was exempt from possible contagion.

Yes, the contagion affected our physical health but the base emotion that made things worse, came from FEAR.

Mary Burmeister, catalyst and teacher of Western Jin Shin Jyutsu practice and philosophy reminds us that F.E.A.R. can present as False Evidence Appearing Real.

This attitude can be examined more through Polyvagal theory and understanding how our perceptions can fool us if our senses are unclear.

W.B. Yeats famously wrote, “The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.”

I get to read this quote every Wednesday as I walk through my teacher’s gardens on my way out of QiGong practice.

Clear senses are the pathway to clear perceptions. Honesty. With. OurSelves.

The pathway to healing is through your senses.It’s confusing out there.

Seeing the stirring of misperceptions and misunderstandings swell from the Source of FEAR brings suffering.

Discernment requires clear senses to inquire within: “Is this true for me?” “Is this my DIRECT EXPERIENCE?”

We are all a single drop of water existing in the vast ocean.

Our challenge now is to see that we are all one.

To be collectively responsible - able to respond to our environment.

How do we do this when it seems so overwhelming?

Self Help for harmonizing FEAR: Cradle the pelvis.

Hold one hand on your p***c bone and one hand on your tailbone.

Stay and breathe 🫁 for a couple of minutes.

Place your awareness on the main central channel of energy moving up and down your spine.

Do this sequence to clear your Left and Right side channels: Ida 🌕and Pingala ☀️.

Drive and direct the energy to your center.

That’s where the truth is.

✨✨✨✨✨✨
One of the things I hear from folks is how it’s hard to explain what I do. Look at these slides for a glimpse into what goes into a sesh with me.

That’s because I have a very different way to approach the body.

The modalities I use emerged from the needs of my clients and myself.

Because of my success in breaking through my own chronic pain symptoms, I tend to serve many folks with complex health stories.

Many have long term pain from botched up surgeries, severe accidents, autoimmune disease or MS.

At the time, I needed tools that would keep the person on my table from being triggered into more pain or having to recover from their session.

That’s the trick with chronic illness, people don’t need to recover from their session. Your massage should help you move forward the minute you get off the table.

Over my 20 year career, the work I do is more than massage, it’s more than a rub down.

When you come in, I can sense the pain or restriction in your tissues.

With assessment tools like pulse, tongue and face reading, I can make a plan to get you feeling better with precision and the utmost care.

Your body tells me what to do. And I want you to listen to your body too.

That’s why we use breath coaching and active release to engage more conscious connections so you can steer the outcome.

At this point in my career, I am seeking longevity. I want to be like Ida Rolf, teaching classes well into her 70’s

And that’s what I’m ready to do now, is teach. I studied directly with Brian Utting in Seattle. He taught muscle-specific deep tissue techniques that you don’t find on the East coast.

Because Cortiva bought up so many niche massage schools and diluted the education to simply enable students to pass the exams, the caliber of massage education has changed.

I’m ready to share these modalities that have been at the heart of my practice, helping my clients overcome much pain and immobility.

I’d love to connect with you, if these are similar goals you’re working on, send me a DM- I’d love to meet you!

Radiant Body - 10 day Spring Rejuvenation
Online

This time of year feels like a chance to start over. New growth starts to appear everywhere. The air changes, the birds are singing, you can feel the excitement of Spring!

You’re starting to feel more vibrant and energized. Ready to awaken to new routines and health-focused changes.

The residue of Winter may still be hanging on inside your body. You may have needed to hibernate and do less. That’s great! But now you need to help your body process the stagnation of Wintering.

If you don’t detox and open up your channels, literally no changes you make will stick.

Some signs of blocked channels can include:

Getting in ruts with routines
Feeling uninspired
Dull expression
Depression or emotional sensitivity
Build up of fluids - congestion
Dehydration - dry skin
Doughy, dull looking skin
Lack of thirst - inability to process fluids
Loss of motivation
Loss of concentration
Chronic circulatory and digestive issues

These are all signs of low digestive fire. Vitality is too low to spark a complete metabolic process which results in congestion build up. We call this AMA in Ayurveda. It’is basically undigested residue. Post nasal drip, chronic coughing, diarrhea or constipation, and sinus infections all point to a build up of AMA.

If you’re experiencing any of these signs and symptoms, you need to purify your elimination channels.

Get inspired about food and your ability to sustain vitality with helpful habits you’ll continue using.

I’ve been intrigued with cleansing and have tried everything:
Mastercleanse
Juice Cleanse
Water Cleanse
Vision Quest

When I got introduced to Ayurveda and started cooking with the spices and ingredients, I didn’t realize it was possible to cleanse and eat at the same time.

You don’t go hungry with this process and you can still deal with your responsibilities. Through the process of eliminating sugars, food additives, and excess gluten, you will assist digestion and enhance elimination. You’ll feel like a new person! With more information to develop helpful habits that last.

One of the practices in Joanna Macy’s is called “The Double Circle”, where participants sit in two concentric circles facing one another.

The design facilitates one group being from the past and one group being from the future.

The inner circle moves to the right, so you sit in front of a different Ancestor each time the circle rotates.

When you arrive at each new Ancestor, your guide or facilitator offers a question for you to offer to the Ancestor and listen to their response.

Some of the questions go like this:

“Ancestor, I have been told about the terrible times in which you lived, wars and preparations for war, hunger and homelessness, the rich getting richer, the poor getting poorer, poisons in the seas and soil and air, the dying of many species… It’s hard to believe, Was that really happening?

How was it to live in this time? How did you feel?

Ancestor, we have songs and stories that still tell of what you and your friends did back then for the Great Turning. Now, what I want to know is this: How did you start? You must’ve felt lonely and confused sometimes, especially at the beginning.

What first steps did you take?

Ancestor, I know you didn’t stop with those first actions on behalf of Earth. Tell me, where did you find the strength and joy to continue working so hard, despite all those obstacles and discouragement?”

This work is so needed now and I want to help bring it to your community. DM me if you have a group of people longing to respond to what’s happening in a way that fills your soul not your ego. This work helps us breakthrough apathy and empower action that serves the whole.

👣🧠🦿🦻🫀🦶🏾🦵👤

Whole body is not rigid or over-controlled.

When you sense your center line,
you can access whole body posture throughout the day.

🏡Picking up toys
🏡Winter clean up
🏡Hanging decorations
🏡Making a feast for your Family

Mapping your center line requires deep sensory connection

Sensing the location integrates your attention from Earth to Sky.

Our body is the pathway to peace
Embodiment is the reflection of that inner state of interconnection.

Come connect deeply with yourSelf and let that frequency guide your flow
for your Gratitude gatherings.

I’m celebrating my client wins for this month❣️

It truly is an honor to guide you back to yourSelf. To see you emerge from the slump of avoidance, distraction and disconnection.

And it’s so easy when you remember your true nature. When you participate in your own renewal surrounded by support.
As a coach, I’m delighted by my tried and true approach that works with mutual participation.

I’m invested in seeing you through.

It’s so rewarding to come through a 30 day coaching journey to witness you:

🙌Losing weight (toning and strengthening tissue states)
🙌Your skin glow with improved circulation and radiance
🙌Improving mental focus and saying bye-bye to brain fog
🙌Identify your triggers for imbalance
🙌Make powerful choices when your unhelpful habits try to derail you
🙌Stop cycles of self-punishment
🙌Repair old wounds that steer you away from living a joyful life
🙌Handle hard health news with an empowered plan for going forward
🙌Return to spiritual practices that once fed your soul

I’m always impressed with how we’re more in tune than we think we are. When the body gets what it needs, momentum is sparked with powerful choices.

Weaving this process of inquiry and action is vital for living a natural life.

Our medical systems are not guiding people to the solutions within.

Your symptoms do not need to be covered up with expensive medications that don’t address the root causes of chronic illness.

This is an outdated way of existing and it’s not necessary if we are able to respond with sensibility.

There is no dogma for what I have to share with you.

It’s basic common sense:

Utilize food as medicine
Utilize plants for stress management
Utilize movement for pain
Utilize introspection for self-growth

These parts of progress are really effective when you have a coach who steers you the right way and shows you the right information to radiant health.

The medicine is inside you.

I’m accepting new coaching clients for 2025. Get on my email list for my 30 day coaching deal and my upcoming in-person group coaching cohort for Calming Inflammation.

I know I can help you too.
