Have you ever received a message from a friend with a preemptive disclaimer, “I’m ok, everything’s ok, but…” You slightly brace knowing you’re about to get some scoop. What happened? Who’s hurt? What do you need? As a small business owner and the face of StillPoint Myofascial Release, my personal life is never too far from my professional …
About 7 years ago I was doing what I do most every day. Taking my two dogs for a walk at the park right up the road. This particular day was different though. It was the first day there were no more scheduled contractors to work on the yurt project that was soon to be …
HEADS UP: This post contains content on the subject of women’s health. If you aren’t into what happens down there, this is your opportunity to bow out. A few weeks ago I hated to even say the word fibroid. It’s got that middle-aged reality associated with it. Where you can picture two maturing women sharing stories, whispering over a …
The internet. An elusive place that allows you to: 🤮 Strategically share your good side.🤮 Craft a narrative that brushes over the flaws or hides the wounds.🤮 Cover up the imperfections with whatever hue of rose-colored filters meets the moment. Since life is not an inspirational meme, I much prefer to hear stories of real-life …
Just last night I cashed in on the Christmas present I had gifted my 18 yo daughter. Tickets to see comedian Jo Koy. Hilarious! I haven’t laughed that hard in far too long! Cry laughing, squeeze-my-cheeks laughing, a bit hungover today from absurd, full-body, hyena laughing. (Hungover with zero booze involved, welcome to 50). One of …
With an almost 18-year-old daughter beginning her Senior year, and two 13-year-old dogs at home, new isn’t always top of mind. In fact, it feels like I am witnessing the final chapter of a book play out in my day-to-day life. Life stages are so wild to reflect on especially when you experience those full circle moments… between …
What I know to be true about fascia (because I’ve felt it in my bones): It’s all connected is a gross understatement. The body remembers… everything. The body, by way of the fascial system, is in direct communication with the Higher Self (you can call that energetic woo… or a lifeline). Releasing fascial restrictions can most certainly …
I’ve recruited my 17 yo daughter and her friend to help me with some new video projects. They are students of a New Media program at school where they spend half the day up to their elbows in technology – video, audio, photography, editing, etc. Besides the simple fact that I’m Mom and my daughter, Autumn, is 17, …
** disclaimer **I have spent several days+ tweaking this post, where I normally write these newsletters in one sitting. This writing feels a tad heavy, but I guess that’s fitting, all things considered.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Having the inside scoop into people’s healing process is an honor and an eye-opener. It’s basically impossible to not observe patterns and similarities within each person. …
If 2020 would’ve told me how it was going to take my intentionally built, reliable, 1:1 Myofascial Release practice, turn it on its head and morph it into something familiar but basically unrecognizable, I don’t think I would’ve signed up for it. Connection, touch, deep trust, and vulnerable intimacy in the name of healing… what …
