TESTIMONIALS

"I recently had a Spinal Energetics session with Oliviah and was blown away by the amount of clarity, relief, and inner-peace that I felt afterwards. She held such a warm, gentle space, yet the session was very powerful and emotive for me. I have been struggling heavily with grief and finally felt the dark cloud lift from over my body. I can't wait for my next session. I recommend Oliviah's services to anyone seeking to feel like themselves again. "

While we can’t erase the memories of our past, we can help our bodies to discharge stored survival energy and return to a state of regulation, safety, and presence. This is possible, and it’s one beautiful part of Spinal Energetics.

#nervoussystemhealing #nervousystem #somatics

Rest, play, nourishing food, hydration, downtime, and intentionally slowing the pace of your life—these are essential to nervous system healing. We cannot heal at the same pace that overwhelmed us. Healing asks for slowness, presence, and care for our mind, body, and soul.

#nervoussystemhealing

As babies, we depended entirely on our caregivers’ nervous systems to help us regulate. At that stage, our brains weren’t yet developed enough to manage emotions, stress, or physical needs on our own.

When we don’t receive consistent, nurturing co-regulation and attuned responsiveness, it can impact how we manage stress and form secure attachments later in life.

In adulthood, learning how to safely connect and relate to others isn’t just emotionally nourishing — it’s essential for the health of our nervous system. Co-regulation repairs attachment wounds, builds capacity in our system to handle stress, and supports long-term resilience.

We are biologically wired for connection 🤝 Co-regulation isn’t just helpful — it’s imperative for healing, safety, and nervous system regulation.

#nervoussystemhealing #somatics #nervoussystem #innerchildhealing #coregulation

Your fascia tightened to hold the shape of your silence.

Because back then, staying quiet felt safer than speaking your truth.

Staying small, hidden, unseen—that’s how you survived. And your body, in its brilliance, helped you do just that.

But now… you’re beginning to remember: You’re not in that place anymore. And you’re ready— to reclaim your voice, your power, your full expression.

If you’re in this space, Spinal Energetics may be for you.

This work isn’t just about release— it’s about reclamation and reorganizing your body, your nervous system, and your energetic field to reflect who you truly are.

It’s about redefining safety, and bringing more of YOU online.

You deserve to feel free, alive, and at home in yourself.

I’m here when you’re ready 💜

#nervoussystemhealing #somatics #nervoussystem #innerchildhealing #spinalenergetics #traumarelease #fascia

You can’t force healing. Ever.

And you can’t rush someone into feeling what their body and nervous system aren’t yet ready to hold.

Especially with emotions like anger—
because it’s rarely just anger.
It’s layered. Protective. Often shielding deeper grief, unspoken truth, and long-held vulnerability.

The body won’t release what it doesn’t feel safe to hold.

So whether you’re holding space as a practitioner, or walking alongside someone you love, remember:

✨ Your presence is more healing than your pressure.
✨ Trust in their timing, not your urgency.
✨ Let their soul & nervous system set the pace.

Healing doesn’t follow our expectations— it unfolds when safety arrives and when readiness is felt.

On their timeline, not ours.

I wish everyone on this planet knew about Spinal Energetics. It saved my life and continues to transform the lives of my clients across the world.

One beautiful part of this work is that you don’t have to go back into the memories and stories- this is an opportunity for your body and nervous system to speak and release all they’ve been holding in. An opportunity to discharge stored survival energy, reconnect with your body, remember & embody your truth, and unwind tension along your spine that has been contributing to distress in all aspects of your life.

Trauma release is one aspect of this ultimate return to self and to your innate intelligence to know and heal yourself.

When you’re ready for this deep work, head to my website (linked in my bio) to work together.

#nervoussystem #nervoussystemhealing #traumarelease #healingjourney #somatics #innerchildhealing #spinalenergetics

Nervous system healing goes far beyond deep breaths, tapping, and the viral somatic exercises you see on social media (though those are powerful tools).

This work is profound. It asks you to meet the parts of yourself you’ve spent a lifetime avoiding.

It invites you to rewire patterns that were formed in moments of pain, fear, and survival.

It’s not just about what you do — it’s about how you live, relate, express, and reclaim safety in your body and life.

Here is a breakdown of the 5 key elements – stay tuned for part 2 💜

#nervoussystemhealing #nervoussystem #somatics #healingjourney #spinalenergetics #traumarelease

The pain in your heart isn’t a problem to solve — it holds truth that longs to be met with safety, presence and compassion.

We’re so quick to fix, to solve, to numb, to move on.

But some pain doesn’t need a solution like we think— it needs space.
A witness.
A gentle holding.

Perhaps that is the solution after all.

And sometimes, things just f’n hurt— and the only way the pain loosens its grip is by letting ourselves feel what lives within.

This is why nervous system work is so important. Because in order to truly feel, process, and integrate what lives within (without numbing or running away) we must have the capacity, resources, and the safety to do so.

If this resonates, you’re not alone. I’m here when you’re ready 💜

Honoring all the cycle breakers ❤️

Increasing research in epigenetics and somatic psychology reveals that unresolved trauma, grief, and emotional suppression can be inherited through generations, passed down through both behavioral modeling and biological imprinting in our nervous systems and gene expression. What your grandmother couldn’t cry, what your mother had to suppress to survive, may live on in your body, waiting for resolution.

This is why talking alone isn’t enough. Healing must involve the body, energetic field, and nervous system. It must touch what words cannot reach.

Spinal Energetics allows the body to release what it has held for far too long—not only for you, but for those who came before you, and those who will follow.

It is a reclamation of all that was once silenced, stored, and suppressed—and a return to wholeness, not only for you, but for your entire lineage.

All humans feel anger.

It’s a natural, protective response to boundary violations, unmet needs, or injustice. If you never feel angry, you’re not free of it — you’ve likely learned to suppress it. Not because something’s wrong with you but because at some point, expressing anger didn’t feel safe.

So your body found other ways to carry it.

Here’s how suppressed or stored anger might show up for you:
• Your jaw hurts after a tough conversation — and you didn’t even realize you were clenching.
• Unexplained, low back pain on the right side that worsens with stress.
• You replay arguments in your head, sometimes years later, wishing you had said more.
• You say “it’s fine” when it’s not — then feel heavy, irritated, or shut down.
• You get uncomfortable or annoyed when others express anger.
• You laugh things off… but feel a burning in your chest or stomach afterward.
• You freeze in conflict, then judge yourself harshly later.
• You walk into a room, someone glances your way, and your body tenses and you think, “What’s their problem?”

This is anger — without a safe outlet.
And it doesn’t make you dramatic, broken, or “too much.” It makes you human.

#anger #nervoussystem #nervoussystemhealing #somatics #spinalenergetics #energyhealing

The unseen… yet deeply felt.
The quiet rhythm beneath the noise.
The pull in your heart —
the echoes of something ancient,
a silent current that’s always been guiding you home.

Before words, there was energy.
Before form, there was frequency.
We’ve always been —
resonance becoming breath,
light taking shape,
energy remembering itself.

The stories we carry, the sensations we hold —
they are not just memory.
They are movement.
Unspoken truths and energy that longs to be witnessed,
felt,
and finally set free.

Your soul remembers.
Don’t stop feeling.
That’s how you find your way back home ❤️

⏰ When Urgency Arises:

Name what you’re feeling. Say out loud:
“This is urgency. I feel it in my chest. My thoughts are racing. I feel like I have to fix or do something right now.”

Then, gently remind yourself:
“I’m safe in this moment. I don’t need to rush. I will show my body it’s safe to be here now.”

Then, turn to the following practices to support your nervous system 🌿

1. Orient to Your Environment
Breathe, relax your shoulders and jaw and turn your head slowly to observe the space you’re in. Name what you can hear, see, touch, and smell. This grounds your awareness in the present moment and engages your ventral vagal system, which supports feelings of safety and connection.

2. Shake or Move Your Body
Stand up and shake out your hands, arms, and legs—move energy through your body for 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Movement helps discharge adrenaline and cortisol, the stress hormones that fuel urgency and panic, allowing your system to reset.

4. Self-holding
Place your hands on your heart and belly, or wrap your arms around for a hug. Feel your breath under your hands and speak something soothing to yourself like, “I’m safe. I can slow down.” Gentle touch and self-soothing tones lower your body’s perception of threat, creating a felt sense of safety.

5. Use Temperature to Shift States
Splash cold water on your face, hold an ice cube or something warm like a mug of tea or a heating pad. Temperature shifts stimulate the autonomic nervous system, interrupting sympathetic activation and helping the body return to regulation.

6. Hum or Sing
Let out a long, low hum or sing softly to yourself to stimulate your vagus nerve and your parasympathetic nervous system.

7. Visualize a Calm Image or Place
With your eyes open or closed, imagine a place that feels warm, safe, and still. Let your body feel what it’s like to be there. This activates calming neural pathways and brings the body into a regulated, grounded state—even without changing your external environment.

Save this for later and remember: you cannot heal at the same speed that overwhelms you—slowing down, catching yourself, and interrupting urgency with presence and compassion is the way through 💜

Spinal Energetics isn’t about creating chaos.

It’s about gently guiding what’s been held for years-
the tension, the emotions, the beliefs—to rise to the surface, when they’re ready.

So you can finally feel them, free them, and return home to yourself, to your body, and to your truth.

People-pleasing is often a protective strategy rooted in early experiences where love, safety, or belonging felt conditional. As children, many of us learned that being agreeable, of service, and self-sacrificing kept us connected to caregivers, while expressing needs, setting boundaries, or showing anger led to rejection, punishment, or emotional neglect. To stay safe, we suppressed our anger and disconnected from our needs and authentic voice.

Over time, this survival pattern becomes ingrained—leading us to chronically prioritize others, avoid conflict, and feel guilt or fear when trying to advocate for ourselves. But that suppressed anger doesn’t just go away—it lives in the body. It commonly shows up as back pain, digestive issues, chronic fatigue, jaw clenching, and shoulder tension. Yes…even years later as adults.

Healing begins when we recognize people-pleasing not as a flaw, but as a nervous system response—and when we create safety to feel and process what’s been buried, and come home to our true, empowered self.

Everyone needs nervous system care…

Because the truth is, when strong emotions and experiences go unprocessed, our nervous system doesn’t recognize that the threat or pain is over. Instead, it stays mobilized—on alert—responding to present-day situations through the lens of past experiences. This can look like chronic tension, anxiety, reactivity, shutdown, or difficulty being present and connected.

Healing happens when we create the right conditions for the body to complete what was once interrupted. This means allowing the stress response to move through and discharge in a supported and contained way—so the system can return to safety, regulation, and connection.

Stored anger and rage are very common expressions of incomplete survival responses.

In Level 2 of Spinal Energetics, we begin working more directly with the organs and deeper systems of the body that store these unresolved emotional charges. This work supports the body in entering a primal, innate state of unwinding, where old tension and energy patterns can finally release.

This isn’t about forcing or fixing. It’s about honoring the body’s intelligence and allowing it to come back into homeostasis at its own pace.

If you’re ready to release what’s been stored deep within, reconnect with your truth and body’s wisdom, and reclaim a sense of vitality and grounded ease—visit my website or comment “GUIDE” to learn more.

As always, take what works for you and your nervous system & leave the rest 🤍

Everyone deserves to understand their nervous system — and how to gently guide themselves back into safety and regulation. It’s one of the most empowering things you can learn.

To the ones who’ve been told they care too much…

You’ve likely heard it as a criticism — “You’re too sensitive.”
“You care too much.”

As if your deep empathy, compassion, and attunement to others were flaws to be fixed.

But what if your sensitivity and empathy are your superpowers?

You feel deeply because you love deeply.
You care because you’re connected.
And your empathy — it’s not a weakness, it’s a gift the world desperately needs.

But when you grow up with this kind of tenderness in a world that doesn’t know how to honor it, it can feel overwhelming.
Like your emotions are too big, your reactions too much, your presence too intense.

You may have never been given the support, co-regulation and tools to feel safely. So those big emotions began to harbor in your body, nervous system and energetic field.

I so wish we could all go back in time and teach our younger selves how to process emotions in healthy ways. Although we can’t do that, we can learn now as adults, and reparent our younger parts too.

And in case no one has told you- there’s nothing wrong with how deeply you feel.
You don’t need to shrink your sensitivity — you just need to learn how to hold it.
To let emotions move and flow through your body like energy was always meant to.
To express what’s true, instead of bottling it up.

Because when you learn to feel without fear, to let emotion rise and release rather then suppressing or getting trapped in the stories of the mind— your body becomes a vessel of expression.

This is where emotional freedom lives.
Not in avoiding your sensitivity, but in reclaiming it. Honoring it. Letting it guide you home.

You don’t care too much.
You just feel in a world that’s forgotten how.
And that is medicine.

#soothewellness #spinalenergetics #energyhealing #traumarelease #somatics #nervoussystemhealing

The heart space is one of the most protected areas of the body—physically, emotionally, and energetically.

In response to emotional wounding, prolonged stress, or trauma, the body often creates tension and bracing in the field and fascia surrounding the chest, upper back, and diaphragm. This results in rigidity around the heart center—both front and back—and often leads to a restriction in breath flow.

When the body braces to protect the heart, the breath becomes shallow, limited, or held. This is part of the nervous system’s survival response, signaling the body to remain hypervigilant and guarded. Over time, this protective holding pattern can become the default state, shaping our posture as well (often rounding of the upper back and shoulders).

Unwinding these patterns requires presence, safety, and co-regulated support. Through somatic and nervous system-focused work, we help the system recognize that it is safe now—that the armor is no longer needed.

This softening allows for:
– Emotional and physiological release
– Improved breath flow
– Increased vagal tone and heart-brain communication
– Restored energetic and emotional connection in the heart space

This is how the body begins to unwind, rewire, and reconnect to aliveness.

Healing is actionable. We must prove to our nervous system that there can be different outcomes. Outcomes of safety, connection, belonging, love, and compassion.

And- even outcomes where we do feel judged and misunderstood, while now having the resources to know truth and to hold ourselves through with the love and compassion that we’ve always deserved.

#soothewellness #nervoussystemhealing #somatics #innerchildwork #spinalenergetics

A message that feels resonant right now 🪷

With that said, part of the healing process is learning to accept that some people—especially the ones we hoped would—may never be able to offer the love, care, celebration and support we long for. And as painful as that is, it creates space for something new: the knowing that there are people in this world you haven’t even met yet who will love and support you in ways you’ve only ever dreamed of.

Always cheering you on ❤️

While avoidance may feel protective, it ultimately intensifies the very suffering you’re trying to escape. What isn’t expressed doesn’t disappear — it gets stored in your body, nervous system, and energetic field, subtly — or not so subtly — shaping your mood, thoughts, behaviors, beliefs, and capacity for connection and joy. The weight of what’s unspoken or unfelt doesn’t go away; it lingers beneath the surface, influencing everything.

This is why, when you finally allow yourself to feel — whether through a deep cry, somatic work, expressing long-held truth, or simply letting emotion move through — there’s often a profound and unexpected sense of relief.

Bottling up emotions consumes a tremendous amount of energy. In the moment of release, your body and nervous system soften; there’s nothing left to brace against. Your system begins to regulate, your energy starts to flow again, and you return to yourself.

True freedom doesn’t come from avoiding hard emotions — it comes from meeting them with compassion and letting them move through you rather than consume you.

#soothewellness #spinalenergetics #healingjourney #traumarelease #nervoussystemhealing #somatics #innerchildwork

And the path forward?

It requires that you honor all of the brilliant ways that your body, mind, and nervous system protected you, and, that you recognize that YOU are not your coping strategies.

What you don’t express and process, your body will express in way of nervous system dysregulation, unexplained symptoms, pain, and emotional overwhelm.

This is why somatic and nervous system focused work is so important. You deserve to feel held, seen, and supported as you tend to all that’s been stored within.

I see this all the time.

People with big hearts and big missions.
Here to serve, to speak their truth, and to share their heart & wisdom with the world.

They try so hard to live in alignment with their purpose—to feel confident and successful in sharing their mission.

But sometimes, they find themselves pushing, striving, pouring everything out… yet nothing seems to move forward.

And then the questions come:
“Am I on the right path? Am I doing this right? What am I missing? Am I even good enough?”

And when we look deeper, we see the truth…
They’ve been abandoning themselves.
Neglecting their own needs in the pursuit of their mission.

Their relationships are suffering. They feel disconnected—from others, and from themselves.
They feel isolated. Their inner child parts are hurting.
They’ve forgotten how to play.
Their nervous system is completely dysregulated, and they’re burnt out.

And this is where I hold their hand and say:
You are what needs your attention right now.

That is part of your mission.
You can’t sustainably serve from an empty cup.
You have to put yourself first.

So for however long it takes, your job is to choose YOU. To nourish yourself. That is your soul work. That is the only way to serve, to hold space, and to share your gifts in a sustainable way.

So if this resonates… maybe it’s you.
Maybe you are the one calling out for your love, your care, your compassion, your curiosity.

Your nervous system.
Your connection to yourself and to others.
Your ability to love life again.
It starts with you.

“That’s just who I am” ➡️ That’s who you had to become to survive.

Many of the behaviors we think are our personality are actually survival strategies shaped by trauma, chronic stress, and a dysregulated nervous system.

Traits like being hyper independent, emotionally distant, avoidant, reactive, people-pleasing, clingy, co-dependent, or always needing to stay busy, often form in response to environments and situations where we didn’t feel safe, seen, or supported.

We adapt to survive—and over time, we come to believe those adaptations are just who we are. But they’re not- they’re protection.

When we begin to heal our nervous system, we create the safety and capacity to peel back those layers. That’s when we start to see which parts of us are rooted in fear and survival—and which are our true essence.

Healing reveals the difference between who we became to survive and who we really are at our core.

#soothewellness #nervoussystemhealing #nervousystem #somatics #innerchildwork

One of the most beautiful aspects of Spinal Energetics is that it supports us in reconnecting with our body’s innate healing intelligence — the same wisdom that heals a cut, regulates our breath, blood pressure, and menstrual cycle. It’s the quiet force that prompts us to stretch in a certain way upon waking, and move instinctively throughout the day.

When we reconnect to this internal guidance system, we deepen the connection between mind, body, energy, and soul. This connection allows us to tap into the unwinding and healing process from within — not just during sessions, but in everyday life.

The ultimate goal of this work isn’t dependency on me as a practitioner — it’s for my clients to remember their own capacity to heal, to process emotions, and to follow their body’s natural impulse to move, express, reconnect, and release.

One of the most rewarding parts of this work is witnessing my clients come home to themselves — noticing them start to process and regulate on their own, in a way that’s primal, intuitive, and true.

We were all born with this ability. But over time, most of us lose connection to it. Just like animals instinctively shake after a stressful experience to release tension, humans have the same capacity. It’s not gone — just disconnected from.

Spinal Energetics helps us remember.

We often think we need to learn something new to regulate or “find the answer” somewhere else, when it’s really about remembering, reconnecting, and trusting our own innate ability to heal and self-regulate. Chronic stress & trauma may disconnect us, though the wisdom always lives within.

Here are 10 ways you may naturally self-regulate:

🌀Deep Sighs or Exhales
When you sigh or take a deep exhale, you activate your parasympathetic nervous system (the rest-and-digest), signaling your body to ease stress and slow down.

🌀 Fidgeting, Bouncing, or Tapping
Repetitive movements help discharge excess energy, self-soothe, and ease nervous tension.

🌀 Humming, Singing, or Talking to Yourself
Expression alone is powerful & the vibrations of your voice activate your vagus nerve — a major highway for relaxation signals — and ease your nervous system’s stress response.

🌀 Walking or Stretching
Movement increases circulation and helps move stress hormones (like adrenaline and norepinephrine) out of your body, while reducing muscle tension.

🌀 Hugging, Petting an Animal, Cuddling
Physical connection stimulates oxytocin (the bonding and calmness hormone) and signals safety to your nervous system, reducing its alarm response.

🌀 Being in Nature & Getting Fresh Air
Breathing in fresh air, and connecting with nature helps calm an overactive nervous system, lowers stress, and fosters a greater sense of peace and connection.

🌀 Rubbing Your Hands, Massaging Your Neck, or Touching Your Face
Gentle, comforting pressure stimulates pressure receptors under your skin, sending safety signals up to your brain to ease stress and foster relaxation.

🌀 Laughing, Crying, or Yawning
These release physical tension and stress hormones (like adrenaline and cortisol), acting as a reset for your nervous system — much like a pressure release valve.

🌀 Sipping a Warm Drink or Wrapping in a Blanket
Warmth signals safety and containment to the nervous system, triggering the relaxation response (lowered heart rate, ease in muscle tension, and slowing of stress signals).

Which one’s do you find yourself doing most often?

In level 2 of Spinal Energetics, we tap into both ancestral burdens and gifts that are carried in the body, nervous system and energy field.

The patterns, habits, and emotions that you experience, which are difficult to make sense of, may be rooted in ancestral patterns, and trauma.

This work is not about clearing or erasing memories, it’s about supporting your system in feeling, processing, and integrating what has been stored within- beyond the stories of the mind. This is why many people will cry, unwind, express anger, or tremor, without having any memory or story attached to it.

If you’re ready to begin this work together – to heal your nervous system and return to truth, ease, and vitality, please reach out.

The grief that sits heavy in your chest. The fear that shows up before anything has gone wrong. The patterns that return again and again, no matter how much inner work you’ve done—these may not have started with you.

Increasing research in epigenetics and somatic psychology reveals that unresolved trauma, grief, and emotional suppression can be inherited through generations, passed down through both behavioral modeling and biological imprinting in our nervous systems and gene expression. What your grandmother couldn’t cry, what your mother had to suppress to survive, may live on in your body, waiting for resolution.

This is why talking alone isn’t enough. Healing must involve the body, energetic field, and nervous system. It must touch what words cannot reach.

This is the power of Spinal Energetics, especially Level 2, where we begin to work more deeply with ancestral patterns and energetic imprints carried through generations. This work allows the body to release what it has held for far too long—not only for you, but for those who came before you, and those who will follow.

It is a reclamation of all that was once silenced, stored, and suppressed—and a return to wholeness, not just for you, but for your lineage.

#soothewellness #spinalenergetics

Your body tells a story — through your posture, your breath, the tension you hold, the subtle movements you make, and the energy you carry. It reveals what words alone often cannot.

If you choose to work together, know that there is always space for you to share with words — but often, the deepest truths live beyond the mind and beyond the stories.

They live in the felt sense, in the language of your body and nervous system. That’s where we meet — attuning together in presence, safety, and co-regulation.

#soothewellness #spinalenergetics #energyhealing #traumarelease #nervoussystemhealing #innerchildwork #reiki

Self-sabotage is self-protection — not just laziness or a lack of willpower. When you understand this, the shame loses it’s power. What looks like procrastination, avoidance, or shutting down is often your nervous system doing its job: protecting you from what it once learned was unsafe — whether that’s love, success, visibility, or peace.

Willpower alone won’t override a system that’s stuck in survival. If your body doesn’t feel safe, it will default to familiar patterns, even if they’re painful.

That’s why healing requires more than mindset shifts — it demands that we create safety in the body, not just force our way through with effort or discipline.

Here are 5 simple ways to begin attuning to safety:

• Prioritize moments to consciously breathe throughout the day. Exhale slowly → Longer exhales help to engage the parasympathetic nervous system.

• When you notice old patterns, name what’s happening from a place of compassion → “I notice I’m resisting this because it feels unfamiliar. It makes sense that this is coming up.”

• Soothing touch → Place a hand on your heart or belly; offer warmth and presence if that feels okay.

• Movement → Rocking, swaying, or gently shaking can discharge stress.

• Orient to the present → When you start to notice activation in your body, look around your environment . Allow your eyes to land on something pleasant or neutral. Name how it feels in your body to focus on this thing/space.

This is inspired by a recent reflection of a long-term client 🤍

What used to seem like frequent arguments over the “small stuff” were actually rooted in deeper wounds and dysregulation.

Through Spinal Energetics, Reiki, and Inner Child Embodiment, she’s healing her nervous system, rewiring old patterns, and meeting herself with compassion and clarity.

This inner work is naturally rippling into her relationships — allowing for sacred pauses where reactivity used to live, and allowing her to respond from truth, rather than defense. These heated moments are much less frequent now, and she feels even closer to her husband.

It’s an honor to witness this transformation and the way it touches every part of her life. This work doesn’t just shift individuals — it reshapes how we connect, love, and live.

It’s okay to not feel okay.

It’s also okay to feel okay and desire to feel great.

The moment we stop bypassing and overriding what our body and nervous system are communicating… we reclaim our power.

Even simply acknowledging:
“I see I’m overwhelmed. I feel it. My nervous system is signaling this to me. I notice my body tensing, my spine stiffening, a desire to curl inward”—
that awareness is the first step.

From that place, we can begin to meet the truth of what’s happening— not the story the mind tries to spin, but the reality the body is expressing.

This is where somatic and nervous system focused practices come in.

Spinal Energetics helps to unwind tension patterns held in the spine, support healthier spinal alignment, and reduce interference in the nervous system—allowing for deeper connection to self, our body, others, and life, as well as greater presence, and integration.

The spine is our central channel—part of our central nervous system. The nerves that branch from it innervate and communicate with every organ in our body.

So when we work with the spine and body to release stored tension, and to improve energetic connection and neural communication, we open the door to more ease, vitality, and more of YOU coming online.

There is no greater honor than holding space for the sacred remembering. To guide, and be a witness to the unraveling and becoming. My heart is full.

The work that I share is so very sacred…it can be difficult to convey that on social media so I hope content like this does a bit better of a job. Thank you all for your support, always. I love you.

I will always be here when you’re ready to journey home. We move at the speed of trust.

All my love,

While unexplained symptoms can have many different roots, this is one I see all the time—and it’s often overlooked.

👉Avoiding the big decision you already know you need to make.

They’re not just symptoms.
They’re signals.

Perhaps signals that your body & soul feel out of alignment. That you’ve been abandoning what you know deep down.

When you avoid a major decision—whether it’s ending a relationship, starting a new job, moving somewhere new, or finally speaking your truth—your nervous system picks up on that incongruence.

When you chronically suppress your truth and don’t honor your inner wisdom, it creates a loop of self-abandonment. And if your system no longer feels safe to trust, symptoms often get louder.

✨The moment you decide—to choose yourself, to honor your truth, to stop abandoning what you feel—your energy and inner world shift from self-abandonment to self-trust. And that changes everything.

That’s when harmony begins to return.
Not always overnight, but gradually. Softly.
Because your body finally feels you’ve got its back.

Clarity doesn’t come from overthinking.
It comes from taking the brave, aligned step that you’ve been avoiding.

Your body isn’t broken. It’s wise.

It’s asking you to finally choose you ❤️‍🩹

Tension is a protective response from the nervous system. It’s the body’s way of bracing for impact, holding in emotion, or preparing to defend against a perceived threat — whether physical or emotional.

Over time, if the underlying dysregulation is not addressed, these protective tension patterns shape our posture — becoming a physical imprint of emotional and energetic survival strategies. Rather than seeing tension as something to fix or get rid of, I invite you to start viewing it as a signal of where your body stepped in to protect you.

➡️ Here are the 4 most common spinal & postural patterns that I see in my practice and what they often reveal beyond the physical:

1. Kyphosis (rounded upper back)- A guarded heart carrying grief, shame, and emotional overwhelm.
→ Potential Protective Strategy: “If I shrink and fold inward, I’ll be less vulnerable.”

2. Flat Lumbar Spine (loss of natural curve in the lower back)- A body in constant bracing — signaling long-held tension, hyper-independence, and a deep-rooted belief that it’s not safe to lean on anyone.
→ Potential Protective Strategy: “If I stay rigid and self-reliant, I won’t be disappointed or let down.”

3. Neck (Dowager’s) Hump (buildup at the base of the neck)- A disconnection between heart and throat chakras holding suppressed truth, chronic burden, unspoken grief, and ancestral trauma.
→ Potential Protective Strategy: “I must carry it all — my truth isn’t welcome.”

4. Collapsed Chest (sunken sternum, slumped shoulders)- A closed heart with diminished life force, shame, heartbreak, and emotional defeat.
→ Potential Protective Strategy: “If I close my heart, I won’t be hurt again.”

Your body is a living archive — a record keeper of all you’ve been through, and all your ancestors have endured.

The tension you’re feeling is not the problem. It’s the protection for what’s hurt, wounded, and vulnerable within. It’s showing you where to look, where to tend, and revealing the dysregulation beneath the surface.

Healing begins when we listen and address what’s beneath. I’m here when you’re ready 💜

What often looks like high achievement on the outside — constant productivity, always staying busy, needing to accomplish more & more — can actually be a nervous system stuck in a flight response.

For many, this drive isn’t *only* about ambition; it’s about survival. Movement becomes a way to outrun the discomfort of stillness, where unprocessed emotions like fear, grief, or shame live.

As our nervous system begins to heal, we no longer need to brace ourselves in moments of rest. Stillness, which once felt threatening, begins to feel safe. We soften into presence instead of fleeing from it.

Nervous system focused care makes it possible to stop running and finally arrive — in our breath, in our bodies, in this moment.
