There is an entire list of reasons as to why your hands and fingers could be having pain, numbness, or tingling.

Before you head to the doctor, there's a couple of things that I, your massage therapist, would try, FIRST. And, if what I have to offer doesn't help, then I can help you to explore the myread of other potential reasons.

But chances are, You have something like tendonitis, tight muscles, loose muscles, or a misalignment somewhere between your neck and your fingers. While I am not a chiropractor and I will not be giving you an adjustment, I can manipulate the soft tissue and bone structure in such a gentle way that chances are you will feel relief right away. How though? Well, I've been a licensed massage therapist for nearly 20 years. As the saying goes, "I know a thing or two because I've seen a thing or two." Oh, and I've had hours and hours of continuing education, research, and hands on education.

In other words, I'm GREAT at my job. Test me on that.

Let's try something here...

Put the emoji in the comments that resonates with you most. ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’š

Which of these is most keeping you from getting started?

Starting your business, taking control of your health, fixing that broken relationship...

What's holding you back most likely comes down to one of these things:

๐Ÿ’šComfort Zone Comfort: Trust me, I know how comfy it feels to stay right where you're at. But here's the thing: growth happens when you're willing to venture beyond what's familiar.

๐Ÿ’œFear of Failure: The fear of failing can be paralyzing. I challenge you to explore your fear of failure and change your mindset: maybe failure isn't the worst thing that could ever happen?

๐Ÿ’™ Self-Doubt: That nagging inner voice can be a major roadblock. Challenge your self-doubt with self-compassion and remind yourself of your capabilities.

๐Ÿ’› Overthinking: Overanalyzing situations can lead to inaction. Analysis Paralysis. Trust your intuition, make a plan, and just take the first step. You'll learn and adapt as you go.

๐ŸงกComparison Trap: Comparing yourself to others can diminish your self-esteem. Remember, your journey is unique, it belongs to you and meant just for you and it's okay to go at your own pace.

Your first step in FINALLY getting started?

Recognizing which of these things is holding you back.

Which one resonates with you?

What bottle companies DONโ€™T want you to know ๐Ÿ˜ซ

๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ I donโ€™t know if you were aware of this but baby bottle flow rates/ni**le speeds/ni**le sizes are not regulated in any way in the United States. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

โ€ผ๏ธ Companies can (and do!) write whatever they want on a package making it almost impossible for a parent to try different brands using the same flow rate. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

And the age ranges listed on the bottle ni***es are also just marketing, hoping to convince you to โ€œsize upโ€ as baby gets older.

A literal nightmare for new (and experienced) parents! ๐Ÿ˜ก

Flow rates for bottles labeled โ€œslow flowโ€ have been tested and range from 0 flow (NO FLOW- Iโ€™m looking at you Avent Natural Response 1 & 2) ๐Ÿ™„ to extremely fast (over 20 ml/minute).

For example, the Medela wide base slow ni**le (the one that comes with Medela pumps) flows almost THREE TIMES FASTER than an Evenflo Balance+ Wide slow ni**le.

Slow-medium-fast or level 1-2-3 or even age newborn-3 months-6 months all only mean something in relation to the other ni***es of the same style & brand.

โญ๏ธ Your best resource for independent lab flow rate results on bottles is where you can pay for either parent or professional access to info on over 24 different bottle brands & styles and multiple flow rates in each brand! ๐Ÿ˜ (Iโ€™m not affiliated with in any way, I just think that their information is invaluable)

โ“Have you struggled with finding bottles from different brands with the same flow rate? Comment down below! โฌ‡๏ธ

A couple of weeks ago I introduced you to the idea of trapped emotions, which are balls of energy we stuff into our body's energetic field when we are feeling particularly overwhelmed by an emotion or we are imbalanced for some reason. The capstone for my work as an , , and practitioner is releasing this negative energy so your body can return to a state of balance, where all systems are goโ€”as they were intended.

When the energy of trapped emotions is not fully processed and released, this energy can be PASSED DOWN to a child at their conception, who can pass this on to their children at conception, and so on. I'm no math whiz, but this can add up to a ton of people affected by the same bad mojo after a while.

You may have heard the phrases "generational curse" or "generational chains," and BINGO. Very often what we're referring to is a common trauma and negative energy that has been shared throughout a family tree.

One of my favorite things to do is to release these inherited trapped emotions. By releasing an inherited trapped emotion from one person in the family, I can break that particular cycle from continuing on. There is such power in releasing these trapped emotions from the past, present, and future of a family.

How could your family benefit from breaking some of their long-held chains? Let's chat about how I can help.

Feeling emotional? Try this!

Try this simple instant emotional energy release tip today!
It's super easy, and amazingly effective.

In my personal life, when I'm feeling less than my best, I can often put a name to what I'm feeling. In that moment, I know that I am feeling depressed, or irritated, or rejected.... or a combination or many emotions. When I can put a name to it, I am almost certainly not dealing with that emotional energy and it will end up in my energetic field and wreaking havoc in my physical body and spirit body.

No thank you!

If I can name it, I can release it!

I will take a minute (seriously, like twenty seconds) and hold the intention of releasing that feeling. The best part is, you don't have to be an energy worker for this magic to do its thing for you, too.

Here's how:

1. Stop and identify the emotion(s) that are popping up for you.
2. Say, "I now release _______ [that emotion], thank you."
3. Believe that emotion has been released.
4. Repeat with as many emotions as you are feeling in that moment.

Share in the comments how well this has worked for you, and then share this post with the people you care for. You never know how it could brighten the day of someone you love. ๐Ÿงก

I 10/10 recommend a doula for every birth. Research shows that having a doula leads to fewer c-sections, shorter time in labor, fewer negative childbirth experiences, and a better start with breastfeeding. What is a doula, you say? Doulas are non-clinical caregivers that provide physical, emotional, and information/education support to pregnant persons and their families/partners. Doulas take care of people before, during, and after birth. We are blessed to have excellent doula care in our area. Who are some of your favorite doulas?? I am going to start listing a few to get us started :)

If you've ever been near another person who is feeling an emotion in a powerful way, you may have picked up what Emotion Code and Body Code practitioners call an ABSORBED TRAPPED EMOTION.

A trapped emotion is a ball of energy approximately the size of a fist that is created when a person experiences stress, trauma, negative thoughts, or is imbalanced for some other reason. These trapped emotions wedge their way into your energetic field, where they distort your natural body balance. This can pave the way for all kinds of physical and emotional issues.

Although an absorbed trapped emotion may not have come from you, you pick it up and take it into your energetic field, just the same. Sometimes this happens because you may identify with that particular emotion. Sometimes this happens because you are already imbalanced in some way, like you're not feeling well or you're under a lot of stress. Those of us who identify as empaths often end up with many absorbed trapped emotions because we tend to be good listeners and great support systems and we soak up others' crud just like a sponge. (If this describes you, please learn how to shield yourself. If you don't know how to shield, I'd be happy to show you).

No matter the reason why you absorbed a trapped emotion, you don't need to keep holding onto it! It's not yours! Who needs someone else's emotional baggage?

The best news? Absorbed trapped emotions are quick and easy to release, and when you release an absorbed trapped emotion, you're helping that other person out, too.

No more dirty, saturated sponges, friends! It's time to clean up your energetic field. ๐Ÿงก

If you would like for me to test and see if you have absorbed trapped emotions, reply with "Test."

Never stop researching and advocating for yourself and your family.
09/18/2023

Never stop researching and advocating for yourself and your family.

Google IS empowering... unfortunately many medical providers belittle a patient or parent when they research and advocate for themselves or their family. Would they say the same if the patient or parent came with a file of research studies or textbooks? Probably! Because what isn't taught in medical school or what isn't "typically" done just can't be... don't forget that research studies take on average 17 years to be incorporated into conventional medicine. One example of this delay... it took over 40 years for PMS to become a billable diagnosis ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Never stop googling.
Never stop advocating.

Fear not, my friend: You have the power to silence that inner critic and cultivate a positive, loving relationship with yourself.. & I have a specific exercise I want you to try to get started...

Let me explain:

Feeling uncomfortable in your own skin can often be traced back to that pesky inner voice, also known as ""Mind Chatter."" ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ

We all experience itโ€”the constant repetition of negative thoughts about ourselves.

But here's the thing: it's time to take charge and shift that narrative! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ซ

How we relate to ourselves, also known as our EGO, plays a significant role in our self-perception. If your mind chatter is constantly negative, it becomes a barrier to feeling good in your own skin, impacting your health, wellness, fitness, and mindset.

Through mindfulness, self-compassion, and conscious choices, you can reshape that inner dialogue and transform your life from the inside out.

Save this post & follow this prompt for your next journal session:

1. Write down 5 things you notice your brain telling yourself ABOUT yourself
2. How do those things make you feel?
3. What will you say to yourself next time this thought comes up to change this narrative?

I hit THAT breaking point.

If you know you know...

I was sick and tired of feeling stuck in .

I had so many hopes and dreams for my life.. I wanted to lose weight and feel confident in my capabilities. I wanted a career I loved AND made good money from. I wanted deeper relationships.

It seemed like so many other people found these successes easily.. so why couldn't I?

Well, my journey led me to soon discover that committing to a healing journey and aligning with your truest self seems to set everything else in motion.

Fitness, family, career, those forgotten dreams...it all started falling into place.

If you're new here- HI! I'm Lisa Humphrey.

In my life coaching practice, I focus on helping individuals get "Unstuck." I'm talking weight loss, body image, business struggles, or any other challenge that's holding you back from living your fullest life... my 180 method coaching program uncovers the root cause and guides you towards healing.

And trust me.. I understand this can feel like a vulnerable place to be. That's why I offer your first coaching session complimentary-no pressure. If life coaching is something you've been thinking about, I'd love to be a part of your journey to finding your perfect fit. Send me a message!

September is for deal-lovers!

I have two sizzling session energy healing package deals - 2 Body Code sessions for $97 or 2 Global Energy Method sessions for $197.*

The Body Code is a modality that identifies and addresses imbalances in six key categories: Energy, Circuit/System, Toxins, Pathogens, Misalignments, and Nutrition or Lifestyle. The Body Code can be used to address anything! Disorder, disease, dysfunction, or removing blocks standing in your way to the life of your dreams. Body Code sessions can be held via email, Zoom, or phone, and include an emailed session summary.

The Global Energy Method (GEM) works in a similar manner to the Body Code, but with the ability to focus on imbalances in much greater detail. Each session concludes with customized positive repatterning to amp up the results of each session. The Global Energy Method is fully accredited by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners and the American Association of Natural Wellness Practitioners, and is a continuing education provider for the American Naturopathic Medical Certification Board. Each Global Energy Method session will be held via email, and will include a recorded session summary video or a 20-minute Zoom call recap.

Friends, if you were in to see me (Bridgette) yesterday, I'm sorry. I didn't know I was sick.

I'm bummed to say that I've cancelled the rest of my week and will be working to reschedule people when I return from next week's vacation. (I promise I'm not just taking extra days off before Vaca... I'm actually taking meds. If you know me, you know I don't take things.)

Ear seeds are one of the many things that Bridgette offers to clients. These cute little things are not only fashionable, they're functional. Placed on specific points, they help to stimulate the body, mind, and spirit to bring it back into homeostasis - or a state of balance.

You can find Bridgette by appointment at Black Lotus Women's Wellness , part of The Mind Body Collective

I LOVE ear seeds! But what ARE they, and how do they work?
The ear is a map of your entire body and stimulating points on your ear has a therapeutic affect elsewhere in your body. Itโ€™s often compared to reflexology but on the ear! Using ear seeds to stimulate certain ear points can help with many health conditions. Wanna know the top 3 health conditions people use ear seeds for?

Chronic people pleaser?

Pop Quiz: Are You a Chronic People Pleaser? Answer a few questions for me...

โ‰๏ธ Do you often find yourself making decisions based out of fear of judgement?
โ‰๏ธ Are you always putting other people's wants and needs before your own?
โ‰๏ธ Is the life you're leading one that others would just expect of you?

If you answered yes to any of these.. (or all of them for that matter) Repeat after me:

My๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ Happiness ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผand Fulfillment๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ Matter!

This week, I had the privilege of witnessing an incredible breakthrough with one of my clients. I noticed that a reocurring theme in our discussions was her struggle to make decisions that truly served HER, even if it wasn't the most popular one for her family and friends.

Together, we are shattering the fear of judgment and stepping into a realm of empowerment.

We are shattering the fear of judgment and stepping into who she truly is as a person.

She is finally feeling liberated and making choices that align with her heart and soul.. and the coolest part? It's actually affecting those around her in a positive way- inspiring them to do the same for themselves.

Nicole and Bridgette have a few spots available for you!

How about a relaxing Hot Stone or pain relieving cupping massage?
Your pain could be caused by trapped emotions within the body. If you think about it, does this chart make sense to you?

As massage therapists we can often feel or sense what might be going on, on a deeper level. And, we know, that if changes aren't made on your end to release negative emotions or fears, the pain you are experiencing will either continue or worsen.

As of this post, this is what we have available this week for Black Lotus Women's Wellness (Massage, bodywork, energy work) services. Times are subject to change, of course. Please give us a call or text to inquire!
