If you had to run for your life…could you?

Not too long ago a good friend of mine said to me, "You know, if I had to run for my life, I'd die." At the time she was struggling with knee and hip issues that were causing a lot of pain. The thought of having to run for a [...]

What saving your knee joints and saving the world have in common.

It might seem like a pretty big stretch to imagine how these two things relate to one another. But they do. I was working with a person the other day who has not been able to straighten their knee joint for a few years leaving it difficult to walk without [...]

Ditch The Stretching And Pilates….Just Copy The Kids!

When I teach my introductory workshops it can often come as a major shock when I tell the story of "How I Got Better" after my accidents and surgeries back in 2000-2001. I was sore, tight, and constantly tearing muscles even with all the great exercise rehabilitation and stretching routines. [...]

A perfect anti-aging exercise for the physical body. Just YOU and the floor!

I’m here to bring a ginormous spotlight to an area of health and healing that’s being overlooked: unresolved and untreated trauma (of all kinds!).

Before you say, “I wasn’t traumatized”, please, please stick around because we, the scientific and clinical practice community, are finally redefining what a traumatic experience and adversity really is and it is not what most people think! I am here to give everybody access to education that is NOT dumbed down and assumes the reader wants the truth – even if it means getting into the nitty-gritty and feeling some feels. This means my articles (and videos that often accompany them) are more on the in-depth side and require you to think a bit more. In some cases a lot more. I hope you take some time to sink your curiosity into all that is on this page.

Much Love
