I remember the first time someone touched my psoas. ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

It was my first Rolfer - I came in for a session with serious low back pain.

I thought to myself.... why is this guy digging into my belly? I said my low back was hurting. ๐Ÿง

As he lowered his fingers down I remember feeling scared.. guarded, and I wanted to run out of the room. ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ โœŒ๏ธ

Slowly, focusing on my breath and my intention of welcoming relief by any means necessary... I allowed him to continue, and finally he made contact.

It felt bizarre, strange, unlike anything I had ever experienced before.

Afterward I went for my walk around the room... puzzled. I was wondering where my pain had gone. For the first time in months, it simply... wasn't there. mind blown ๐Ÿคฏ

This was only the beginning of my healing process, but I finally felt like the solution I was looking for was real.. it existed and I was finally on my way back to my wild and free self. ๐Ÿ™Œ

In the words of Dr Rolf, "Where you think it is, it ain't."

The beautiful thing about this work is, once you learn to overcome your own resistance to change... possibilities are endless. ๐Ÿค—

Before I was a Structural Integration Practitioner I was an impulse traveler. ๐ŸŒŽ

Any chance I got to take a road trip, or a flight I took it. ๐Ÿš— โœˆ๏ธ

Now the way my practice has been structured, I can book out as far as up to 6 weeks in advance. ๐Ÿ“…

As you can imagine this changed my relationship with traveling. ๐Ÿ—บ

I got offered the opportunity to do a Structural Integration continuing education class called Rolfing on the river. Sadly the continuing education class portion was dropped, but I was already invested in this trip, so I decided to go anyway. ๐ŸŒž

I just surfaced from spending a week rafting down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ

I had trained for months leading up the hiking up the Bright Angel's Trail (shout out to ) for being part of my support system through my training. ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

If I'm going to be the best provider I can be, I also have to work diligently to tend to my own needs and desires as I would encourage any of my clients, colleagues and friends to do the same. โš–๏ธ

In a perfect world there will always be room to find balance between work and play. Tending to self and tending to others. I know I can struggle with this balance but I'm grateful for all the support I received in pursuing this bucket list travel dream. ๐Ÿชฃ

In the words of , I'd like to thank me. ๐Ÿ’ช

This was a wild ride, flipping over in a paddle boat through rapids, hiking in the highest temperatures I've ever been in, choosing training over hanging with friends, this was no easy task. ๐Ÿ‘

I'll always seek to be a living example of making dreams come true, I hope as you read this it ignites a spark inside yourself to do the same. ๐Ÿ’ซ

Control

Recognizing what is in your control and what is it of your control BOY will that save you a whole lot of stress and worry. ๐Ÿคฏ

When practicing being present through the work, I often invite clefts to sit in the observer view of themselves.

๐Ÿ How do you speak to yourself?
๐Ÿ Do you take on responsibilities that aren't yours?
๐Ÿ Do the opinions of others shape how you feel and think about yourself?
๐Ÿ Can you articulate your needs and wants clearly to others?
๐Ÿ Can you simply recognize what is and is not within your control?

After a gentle gaze into some of these questions it often becomes more and more obvious that a lot of the stuff were "holding onto" isn't ever ours, and very likely might not even be in your control!

Let it go! โœŒ๏ธ

Recognize what is within your control.๐Ÿ’ซ

Be conscious about what you take on. ๐Ÿง

And when it aint yours to own, don't own it. ๐Ÿ‘‹

Part of being a practitioner is facilitating a client's experience in recognizing what's happening within their bodies -live- and in the moment.

Bridging the gap between their mind and their body.๐Ÿ’ซ

Empowering them in recognizing they have liberty and choice about how they experience their bodies and if it isn't serving them, they have the power to change it.

First we start with awareness.

What's happening within me?

How can I use that data to become more conscious of my patterns? ๐Ÿง

I encourage them to speak through the lens of thoughts, feelings and sensations.

"As I am sitting here I notice I feel a tightness in my chest because I'm anxious wondering about whether or not this work can help me."

The integration process is learning how to observe your own body's experience, and using that awareness to shift away from old patterns of behavior and waking up in the moment that undertow of your old behaviors is beginning to pull you, pausing, noticing and making a different decision to create a different outcome. ๐ŸŒŠ

Each session I start with an invitation for my client to stand, close their eyes and scan their whole body.

What's present in your body in this moment? ๐Ÿค”

"As I'm standing here I noticing more weight in my right foot than my left."

"When I take a moment to check in with my body I notice a clenching in my glutes."

"Checking in with myself I feel a tension in my neck and my shoulders, as I notice them and take a deep breath I invite a little more softness in my stance."

First start with noticing, and observing. ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ

See if just that can make a difference in how you experience living in your body.

Every day, between every session I go out for a walk.

This movement allows me to process the session, find ways to invite a little more grease in my wheels and it often tilmes can completely change my mood.

Then I show up for the next client revitalized and excited to understand and listen to their story.

If you're reading this, it's time to for a walk!

Even if it's just for ten minutes, your body will thank you.

Balancing the arches. ๐Ÿ™Œ

When you focus on alignment,
you increase function.

When you increase function,
you reduce injuries, pain, and dysfunction.

Your feet are the foundation of your whole structure.๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

Balancing the feet can help reduce:
๐ŸŒฟ Knee a pain
๐ŸŒฟ Ankle rolls
๐ŸŒฟ Hip imbalance
๐ŸŒฟ Spinal Misalignment
๐ŸŒฟ Plantar Fasciitis

When was the last time you really paid attention to your feet?

A journey with me through the ten series starts exactly where you begin.

Through each session we take every step together, side ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ‘ฅ๏ธ๏ธ

I will be your cheer leader and your guide. ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ

YOU decide how much you want to get out of each session.

What does that mean?

A big lesson learned within the container we create is that YOU are responsible for how you embody YOURself. ๐Ÿ•บ๐Ÿ’ƒ

That doesnt mean the world didn't happen to you, I understand a lot of what you have been through may have been outside of your control.

What I want to ignite in your mind & your body is that you do have a choice as to how you decide to respond to what's happened within your system. ๐Ÿคฏ

And if that means going backwards in order to go forwards... then that's exactly what we will do.

All I know is when you're really ready for a change, I will be ready to guide you to it ๐Ÿ˜„

Fascial tension is a different story.... for EVERYONE.

This is one of my favorite images when it comes to explaining the unique patterns of what's living beneath the surface of YOUR back pain. ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

Back pain is one of the biggest reasons why people will finally seek out Rolfing. ๐Ÿคฏ

Of course I will urge you to seek out professional help before your back is 'Killing you' ๐Ÿ’€

But what makes your back pain different than the next client's back pain? ๐Ÿค”

I'll tell you the secret..... FASCIA ๐Ÿ•ธ

Restrictions, adhesions, compensations, traumas, injuries, repetitive movement patterns...

Every single one of these contributors will create a different holding pattern within your fascial network.

Think of fascia like a continuous web of tissue living throughout your entire body.

It is the organ of FORM.

When it is restricted or adhesed it may show up as:
๐ŸŒฟ Pain
๐ŸŒฟ Structural Imbalances
๐ŸŒฟ Limited ranges of motion
๐ŸŒฟ Knots
๐ŸŒฟ Tightness
๐ŸŒฟ Misalignments
๐ŸŒฟ Difficulty getting a full/deep breath

If any of this resonates with you and you're ready to feel more at home within your skin I urge you to give Rolfing aka Structural Integration a try.

Each session we will explore your unqiue fascial restrictions, uproot holding patterns and replace it with:

๐ŸŒฟ Freedom
๐ŸŒฟ Mobility
๐ŸŒฟ Flexibility
๐ŸŒฟ Increased Self Awareness
๐ŸŒฟ Length
๐ŸŒฟ Balance

Happy International Women's day!!! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŒฟ

Do you know how much joy I get serving my community as a woman in business? ๐Ÿฅฐ

Every time I open this door to greet a new client, or an existing client I feel a deep sense of eagerness to get to know their story and create a safe environment for their healing process.

I always remind each client that they showed up at exactly the right time ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Any earlier and they may not have been ready to dive into themselves with me as their guide.

Every client comes in like a mystery waiting to be solved, what clues can we gather to figure out what their body is asking for in it's yelps, aches and cries for help. ๐Ÿค”

Slowly, both of us prepared with our curiosity glasses on ๐Ÿง

We begin to look on the outside before we sink into what's in - each stroke unraveling their bodies story.

I wish it were easier for me to tell you all that happens within this space, but sadly no photo, caption or reel will ever convey truly the magic that is this work.

If you're ready for answers, if you're ready to walk out of my office with a Mary Poppins sized bag of tools ๐Ÿ”ง

Don't wait any longer!

Free Phone Consultations for anyone ready to take the plunge into themselves and uncover the mystery beneath their skin โœจ๏ธ

After sharing this on my story I got about 40 replies from current or previous clients.

It is a pleasure to do this work, to be a guide in the process of bringing people closer to being the embodied selves they want to be.

Thank you all, it is an absolute privilege. Doing this work is a dream come true.
