It’s been almost four years since I earned a steady paycheck. Still, I’m not worried about my finances. No matter what your income is, you get to choose what you think about your financial situation. The facts of your financial standing are unarguable. Your beliefs about them are optional. This week a client told me […]
A friend told me they have a meltdown every 3 hours since the pandemic started. If you’re like us, you’re not having a panic attack 24/7. One minute you’re fine. The next, not so much. For some of us it may feel like we’re in a perpetual state of anxiety, but the reality is that […]
I think I can’t go deep on sharing something vulnerable right now for fear of the assault from others that could come afterward. In reality I’ve been greeted with lots of love when I share my writing. Perfectionism has been my biggest weakness and I’ve clung to it like a child pulling on their parent’s […]
1) Where will you be in 2030 if nothing changes in your life? 2) Where do you WANT to be in 2030 if you could create your future on purpose? Most of us don’t realize we can create our future on purpose. A few years ago I had a job I liked well enough. I […]
Love, loss, isolation, connection, and giving back. Mark captured my attention when I met him in a yoga class in 2014. The room was hot and he was shirtless. I placed my mat next to his and we practiced together for the first time. Our movements and our lives were in sync from that day […]

Turns out letting go isn’t a question of ability. It’s a question of willingness. You CAN let go. But are you willing? Most of us hold on to things much longer than we need to or want to. That creates a clutter of things that we don’t really want taking up valuable space in our […]
It’s time to define my favorite F-word — FASCIA! You may have heard the word fascia from your massage therapist, personal trainer, or health-nut friend (me!). Fascia sticks to our muscles better than it’s definition sticks in our minds. So here is your high-level overview of fascia from my three years of studying corrective exercise. […]
ELDOA refers to a revolutionary corrective exercise created by a French osteopath named Dr. Guy Voyer. This French acronym translates to LOADS, or “Longitudinal Osteo-Articular Decoaptation Stretching.” Dr. Voyer invented nearly one hundred ELDOA positions that affect different joints, including positions for every individual disc in the spine. Practitioners actively create opposing lines of tension from […]
Yep, it’s like Yoga but not. Eldoa complements Yoga and many other fitness routines that don’t target the deep spinal muscles that improve posture. Yoga adds mental relaxation through global movements and sometimes meditative sequences. Choosing the best exercise for you depends on what is most important for you and your body. Maybe it’s weight […]
