Most of us have experienced an upset stomach during times of stress. BUT there is so much more to it than that. The intestines produce hormones that regulate our mood as well as help us sleep. If there is tension in those tissues abnormalities such as anxiety and insomnia can result.... Intestinal issues are more common in females. Emotionally, the intestines represents the feminine role in the family; the role as the momma bear protector and nurturer. Can you relate how you identify with this role to your intestinal issues? Let's talk about how I can help

Happy Well-being Wednesday!! Today we are talking about FEAR. Fear is a tricky one. It plays a very important role in keeping us safe. We absolutely should give fear the credit and appreciation it is due... ... BUT how many of us let fear take the steering wheel to often? How many of us have fear involved in our daily lives without a tangible cause? A REAL fear, a tangible fear, fear of a person or situation, or a fear that is attached to a past traumatic event is associated with the liver. The kidneys represent more of a basic, all around fear. It's not really attached to anything. It's more existential. This is not the kind of fear that keeps us safe. It is the kind of fear that keeps us from living. Can you relate? If yes, you may be holding tension in the tissues around your kidneys.

Emotional Release is an important and very common part of any manual therapy. When we experience emotional trauma: It affects our nervous system's responses. The trauma is stored.... The energy channels become stuck. Alleviating the built up body tension associated with trauma can help with: Anxiety. Sleep. Connecting better with others. Engaging this tension can also cause memories or sensations from the traumatic event to resurface. I highly recommend partnering manual therapy, such as Osteopathy, with sessions with a counselor or "Talk therapist" you're comfortable with. I feel strong, willing, and privileged to hold space for you on my table. #emotionalrelease #manualosteopathy #safespace #traumarelease #somatoemotionalrelease #emotionalresponsetophysicaltreatment

DID YOU KNOW?? Pregnancy and child birth are amazing and magical circumstances that bring life into this world...BUT... the impact on the female body is tremendous!!! During pregnancy the woman's uterus is able to expand to 500 times its prepregnancy size!!!!!!... This expansion forces the other organs to be pushed out if the way to make room. This can have a long lasting impact on the internal connective tissues and ligaments holding organs in place. If you add in additional trauma of a difficult birth or c-section, you can expect additional internal scar tissue. HAVE NO FEAR! Your friendly neighborhood Osteopath is at your service! Visceral manipulation is an excellent way to ease the discomfort and imobility cause by strain on the internal tissues.
