Nothing get’s me more passionate than talking about things that deeply impact women’s health and their lives that are often misunderstood, or even worse, have shame so deeply engrained into our psyche that we don’t even feel comfortable talking about them. Well, today, I talk to a major myth buster and knowledge sharer- Nicole Jardim. We dive deep into myths, hormones, the postpartum period, painful/heavy/irregular periods, how to find support for these issues and more!

Have you ever wondered why movement modalities and soft tissue therapies seems to be categorized in separate spaces?

The woman I got to talk to in today’s podcast does an amazing job and integrating both of these modalities together for a powerfully healing combination for her patients!

We got to cover so much ground in todays episode, from understanding the postpartum period, scar tissue release work, diastasis recti, how to support your clients emotionally without getting drained or burned out...

Coronavirus and breastfeeding. Today we dig into all the nitty gritty details with an amazing professional, Mercedes Thomas.

There are few things happening around here on my side of the mic, I’ve created 2 free lymphatic flow classes. The lymphatic system doesn’t have its own pump, and it is moved by movement. I’ve created 2 quick classes to support our immune systems by encouraging lymphatic flow. These can be found under the show notes, and can be passed on to your clients as well...

Have you ever wished for a mentor in your life? Someone with years of experience and success and the ability to be real and honest, funny and raw and talk about it all? I'm calling today's episode a mentor session - because that’s exactly what it is!

We’re in the middle of a thriving business series on the podcast, and I feel mixed emotions about that timing of it. I plan out, and record these episodes often months in advance. I’m a planner and I like to have my little pile of recorded episodes so I don’t feel extra pressure or feel like I’m trying to beat a deadline. Because of that, this episode and several other episodes were recorded before this virus hit, so we don’t acknowledge this crazy real factor in the episode...

We are moving into a Thriving Business Series on the podcast. I love a good theme and the next few interviews are going to be just that! Many of us find that after our training we are released into this business world feeling ill-equipped and overwhelmed. This series is digging into different aspects of business, talking to professionals who not only have made it successfully but also share their deep wisdom and experience with us. It’s been a fun series of interviews and I’m thrilled to share it with y

I had the opportunity to talk with Katy Bowman of Nutritious Movement. If you haven’t heard of her, you’re in for a treat!

I originally found Katy’s work about 8-9 years ago. I found her through one of her blog posts about squatting. The way she approached movement in a big picture way really resonated with me. I came back to her work a couple of years later when I was feeling very stuck with my own diastasis recti and pelvic organ prolapse, and I couldn’t find answers that made sense to me...

Hello Friends! Today I’m excited to discuss part two of how movement can be used as a tool for healing and emotional stability when it comes to stress and trauma. If you haven’t had a chance to listen to part 1, I recommend you pause this episode, listen to the last one, and then resume, it lays a solid foundation what I’m going to be sharing today.

What's in your trauma and stress tool box? I have found that utilizing movement for healing is a tool that often is left out of the equation.

Today I’m super excited because I get to talk to you about one of the things I love most in the whole world, movement for stress reduction! That’s right! Most of the time when we talk about exercise, most people associate it with a list of ‘shoulds’, something on their list they’re not doing and feel like they should be, something they’re not doing enough of or any of, something that doesn’t fit into their lives and because of that they are somehow failing. I love flipping this narrative on it
