Will be out for a week in August to listen and be part of a community that is nerding out on all things fascia, research, and I am so excited most about the integration of polyvagal theory and the nervous system!

These are some pictures of simple joys from my summer trip.

✨Painting my nails on the balcony as it lightly rained.

✨Going out to feel the sand and beach water on our last day in Cancun despite the big rain clouds coming our way.

✨Enjoying the view from our beach front room, even though there’s a ginormous palm tree blocking a full view.

✨Seeing my son immersed in life, in a place I dreamed of bringing my future children to after my first trip here over 10 years ago.

Being able to savor life’s sweet blessings comes with practice. I practiced and practiced and practiced, a little bit, and just a little bit more the next day. Until I felt the ground beneath me. Each breath deeper than the moment before. The gray cloud surrounding me dissipated and I felt whole again. My heart beat softer and my sense of self returned.

I share my joys because I have lived many days and months in a dark and lonely storm of anxiety and depression. It took everything I had to get out of it and now I live so many moments in deep gratitude for the life I can fully experience.

It all starts with small steps of allowing yourself some joy. Even in the smallest and seemingly silliest things. And for me, I needed help with that. I wasn’t able to do it without seeking help. Every day was a struggle.

I am forever grateful for family and friends that helped me accept that I needed help. If you’re reading this far and are struggling, know that you can feel and experience life’s joys again.

If you have a loved one struggling with depression and anxiety, know that your presence means the world to them. So many times I wanted to give up and I didn’t because of the simple act of kindness and presence.

Be kind. Be you. 💗✨

This picture is of the first park day as a family after my son was born. I was 4 weeks post emergent C-section and a short but difficult NICU experience.

Everyday since my son has been born has been a learning process. There are no books or amount of advice that can fully prepare anyone for motherhood. There’s a constant wondering if what you are doing is enough. If your choices are going to be what’s best for them in the long run.

What I know is this, the more I work on being aligned in my thoughts, actions, and keep my spirit free and true to who I am, the easier each decision is to make. The easier I can let my son know why I do what I do.

I learned how to do this and befriend myself and honor my nervous system by working with a mental health professional. I am grateful to having found a great match for me who has shown me how to do life with better ease and in the way I am meant to to it, my way, what feels safe for me, through honoring me and what I value and hold as important. And there’s no other way to do it.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms and mother figures that have shown us that the messy and beautiful moments are all part of it; that with each day we get up and meet ourselves again, forever learning who we are in the process of doing the darn best we can! 💗💗💗

Some family celebrations are up ahead and there will be a limited schedule these next two months for home visits.

I have some discovery call sessions available if you’d like to chat and see how I can help your child’s developmental needs.

Start the conversation.

My why is to be authentically present.

Life’s too short to live out of alignment.

I live by the notion that if we can all be ourselves AND be kind, the world would be a much better place for all of us to thrive.

Be kind, be you 💗✨

I first saw this picture in an IG post a few years ago. I can’t find that post so I had to google search and finally found it. I don’t know who took it or who to give credit to. I love this. It is powerful. What is holding you back? I ask this of myself many times and when I answer back with fear or what other people will think, I ask myself again: What is holding YOU back? It is in answering that question, that I can give myself the power of owning my next move. MY next decision.

Hope this can help. I find that is what opens so many doors and opportunities. It is what has helped me in so many ways.

So, what’s holding YOU back?

There are only two pictures of my son and I together that I took the whole year of 2023. This is on his birthday at Legoland. I focused all my attention on making his day feel extra special and was able to experience moments of joy.

I was neck deep in the mud of depression and anxiety that had taken over me for about 10 months at this time. Thinking about it now, I realize I felt so much shame for feeling how I felt knowing I had so much to live for and yet wanting to end it all because of my internal suffering.

I finally reached out for professional help a year after and with each session with my therapist, I started to slowly feel like myself again.

May is month. but I share my struggles throughout the year in hopes to end the stigma around mental health struggles. Struggles with mental health can affect anyone, at anytime.

It does this because mental health isn’t just what happens between your ears. It is much more than that. Your thoughts, your actions, your habits in how you treat your mind, body, and how you honor your spirit all come together and make up your mental health. Just know that if you are struggling, feel ashamed, feel defeated, and want to stop feeling that way, keep listening to that part of you that wants to live. The part of you that is sick of feeling down IS you. Let that voice be stronger.

When you’re ready, there is help for you. There is help for everyone. You have to start to surrender to the possibility of feeling free and being here one small step at a time.

Thriving means a healthy body, mind, and spirit. Everyone’s motivation is different and it’s my favorite part in getting to know a child. Figuring out what motivates and setting a child explore because they want to and because they can is my soul’s purpose as a developmental pediatric physical therapist.

My favorite families to work with are the parents who tell me they know deep down their child can do more than what they’ve been told they can. That they know their child just needs a little help, help that they haven’t been able to find because others don’t believe in their abilities.

My purpose is to get to know a child, their family, and find a path towards their own independence.
