When you don't know what to expect you sometimes receive the unimaginable.

If you make a vow to show up for it, a world with all its messiness and all its gifts will be unveiled.

I'm having coffee this morning and getting ready to return for a final day of educational lectures provided to the nursing students in Tangail, Bangladesh today.

These photos are from a couple of days ago. I gave a lecture on Promoting Early Mobility in the Hospital Setting for the senior nursing staff. They really loved it! And I adored their enthusiasm, participation and curiosity.

They absorbed all the education we provided including lectures on Asthma, and Early detection and treatment for Breast Cancer, Treating the Cancer Patient, COPD, and Postpartum Hemorrhage.

My team (volunteers for Partners for World Health) and I have been alternating days between the Hospital and Kadampara Brothel which is the oldest and second largest brothel in this country.

While I can't wait to sleep in my own bed, in sweetly quiet southern Maine, I feel as though my heart is full and my spirit is nourished here.

It's official 🎇

I made the obvious decision last week during my vacation to renew a commitment 🙏🏻

With Nature and her abundant community of living beings 🌷

We had some good talks, and honestly spent most of the time just being in each other's presence 🌲

It was a magical experience ✨ and I am back doing my thing with all her power and wisdom backing me up

Now booking for August and September ✓

It's difficult to imagine a better reflection than a new leaf ready to unfurl any moment now...are you feeling this energy of bursting with potential yet completely exhausted?

Right timing really is a thing. You've heard it before, the right place, the right time? Sometimes taking a beat, taking a breath, taking a sacred pause is what we need. Let nature take its course.

Spring has arrived and I feel reverence for a collective breath - how do we step our best foot forward.

In health 💚
In love 💕
In connection 🙏🏻

I'm thankful for this day. And the people in both my day to day and those steady long term friends and family 🌷

In true magical fashion, at the end of my day after seeing patients in my office this book literally fell off my bookshelf and opened to the following poem ✨

Not a bad way to begin my 49th year around the sun ☀️

Feeling the pull towards fall 🍁🍂 🌻 today

This summer held a clear theme of woods, water, mountain views, and sleeping outdoors 🥾🏕️🌲 so many gorgeous sunsets and a couple sunrises out in the beauty of nature 🌄

I've been feeling incredibly grateful

I feel lucky to hold the privilege to be trained in multiple disciplines, such as the ancient practice of yoga including Ta***ic and Buddhist meditation techniques, massage therapy and energy work, along with holding a clinical doctorate in physical therapy, as a Women's Health Specialist.

I need all those tools, and more, in order to stand a chance of anchoring my presence in the current moment - versus perseverating on what to do next, or roiling in what happened before. It seems like it is getting more and more difficult to stay in this moment, to maintain my own inner presence, and yet more and more clear that this - is - it. This staying in the here, in the now; this is the remedy for suffering (unbearable) and the antidote for struggle (constant) and might even be the answer to the common question: how do I best improve my function as a flawed and aging human, who has many goals and aspirations in this ever challenging life I am meant to lead.

And yes, I just received my official status as a RCST® designating me one of few extensively trained practitioners in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, Yay!

Stop here if you haven’t whispered any of the following to yourself:

💥 I want to stop having pain
💥 I want to have at least one day without a headache
💥 I want to tackle this back issue
💥 I don’t know what I did to deserve constant pelvic pain

Or what about these:

🤷🏽‍♀️ I want to know why every time I fix one issue, another one appears
🤷🏽‍♀️ I don’t understand how to best take care of myself, maybe it’s just old age
🤷🏽‍♀️ Maybe this is just the way it is going to be from now on

If I am about to lose you as an audience, try these last options before you go:

🎀 I want to feel a deeper connection with my own health
🎀 I need to feel more potent or powerful in one or more areas

If you have had any of the above thoughts (or longings,) then I am interested in your story. More urgently, I want to know how and when we can start working together. And I’m curious about how the impact of our work together is going to support you in making a positive impact in the world. 💚

I lean heavily on subtle manual therapy, core muscle integration and retraining through breath and movement instruction. The aim is to allow your nervous system to return to a balanced and capable state by creating a deep self-healing environment.

The intrinsic value to this approach is real and it is sustainable!

As a seasoned pelvic floor physiotherapist I am more than prepared for questions about my skills and offerings as a specialist - "what is it you actually do???"
So now that I am adding an exciting new modality and huge body of work to my practice I am ready to talk about it - especially to those who think that Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy might just be the support for their health and wellness that has been missing from their life.
Join us for a small group casual conversation and presentation on how Biodynamic Craniosacral work operates and who might benefit from a session or package.
