Healing

Letting go can be very difficult… but it can also be so freeing and healing. Recently, I was feeling quite tense and having a hard time relaxing. So I asked myself, “What do I need to let go of?” I decided to take some quiet time to stop, go inward, connect to my breath, and reflect. After sitting with this, I realized that I needed to let go of: - Control over my new home to being perfect. -Expectations of myself to do everything at once. -Along with expectations I had for m

A pivotal turning point in my healing journey was when I really started to feel safe in the moments of experiencing sensations. After discovering TMS mind–body work while I was couch-bound with Long Covid, I gradually began integrating the understanding that I am safe and not broken. With that shift, I slowly started reintroducing activities into my life. In the beginning, I would make little deals with myself to ease the fear. Things like: “I’ll prepare a meal, and then

When I was couch-bound with Long Covid, I spent my days in a panic and fearful state. It felt like such a long time searching, researching, and going to doctors trying to figure out what was wrong with me. I spent the first year pushing through with extreme anxiety, always asking myself, “What is wrong with me?” Then I really felt like something was wrong with me when I ended up on the couch… I spent another year and a half going to doctors and working with a practitioner to

I often remind my clients to ask themselves throughout the day, “What do I need to return to feelings of calmness and safety?” This was a question I asked myself constantly throughout my own healing journey, and it’s one I still use whenever I notice myself feeling frustrated or ungrounded. Recently, I found myself overwhelmed d after spending too much time on the computer. I paused and asked what I needed to feel calm again, and the answer that came up was, “Walk outside

Hello everyone! I recently created a calming words of reassurance guided meditation that I would like to share. The other morning I was deeply reflecting, and actually overthinking, about what else I need to learn to become a better coach, and what my clients truly need. I am slowly working my way through Rebecca Tolin’s course, which is packed with so much valuable information. I’m truly grateful for all the insights and resources. At the same time, I’ve been feeling a

Movement is Medicine for both the mind and body. But.. What if I am scared to move? What if I have not moved in a very long time? How I began to bring in movement during chronic illness: For a year and a half during my experience with chronic illness, I literally laid on the couch all day, every day. Sometimes I would move outside to a cushion in the sun, but my movement was limited to shifting from one cushion to another or walking upstairs to the bathroom and bed (

My journey through chronic illness taught me countless lessons many of which have stayed with me long after healing. Two of the most powerful have been surrender and acceptance. When I was dealing with over 15 different symptoms, I began to learn how to surrender to them after discovering they were caused by TMS. Understanding that these symptoms were neuroplastic (created by the brain) helped me realize they weren’t actually harmful. As I began practicing somatic tracking,

Oftentimes, when we have an acute illness like a cold or the flu, we are so tired that we welcome rest. We know it's only for a little while, as our bodies do the work of healing from the infection. However, when we’re experiencing chronic illness, fatigue, or long-term debilitating symptoms, all we often want is to do again! I know this feeling very well. I experienced chronic fatigue and symptoms for almost three years. Especially at the beginning of being sick, all I
