Which Type Of Conversation Are You Having With Your Body?
Ten years ago, I saw 'fitness' as a means to an end. And that 'end' wasn't even aesthetics based, it was about what I thought it meant if I went the hardest, was the best, did the most, in workouts or sports. But I started to realize that I had a massive blind spot in my outlook in how I was
You’re Not Stuck With It
I used to have flat feet. I used to have debilitating neck pain. I used to have a functional scoliosis. I used to have TMJ. I used to have a shoulder that ached day in and day out. I used to be told “that’s just the way you are.” Except… Now I do not have flat feet. I do not have neck pain. I
Why Language Influences How You Feel And Move
How your body feels, how you move your body, and how you see your body, are all influenced by the words you read and hear. Finding the right movements and drills to ‘heal what ails ya’, get strong, or be ‘sport-specific’, will only take you so far. The language you’re processing is as important

Please Take Care Of Your Body
In my last post, I shared why waiting for it to be “too late” is terrible. How, when you realize it’s ‘too late’, the only option left is to abandon ship. I can tell you from first-hand experience, you do not want to have to abandon ship. It’s a really long road down, and an even longer road back,
Too Late
We drove home from school, rock music blaring way too loudly from the speakers of my boyfriend’s car, carefree and easy...just the way life as a 17 year old should be. He dropped me off at home with a promise to call me later and I made my way inside. “Dad, I’m home!” I called out as I dropped my
