Dear Reader, This week — the space between Christmas and New Year’s — often feels a little strange. The rush has slowed. The calendar is quieter. And yet, there’s a hum of what’s next in the background. New plans. Fresh goals. A sense that something should change. Before you jump ahead, I’d like to offer a simple but powerful reminder: You can’t plan where you’re going if you don’t know where you are. And I don’t mean where you wish you were. Or where you used to be. Or where you think you...

Hi Reader, December has a way of changing how we move. The ground feels different under our feet. Sidewalks get icy. Snow piles up where we least expect it. And suddenly, something we don’t usually think much about—our ankles—becomes very important. This time of year, I notice two things happening: People are walking a little more cautiously (for good reason). And many of us are completely disconnected from how our ankles actually move and respond. So this week, I wanted to offer you a small...

Hi Reader! December is the perfect month for giving—and I’m sharing a gift that might be a little unexpected. If you or someone you care about struggles with sciatic pain, today I want to give you a little twist (or shall I say a side bend) on a classic move. Sometimes, the best way to ease pain is to disrupt the usual routine and find your own path to relief. Is your sciatic nerve cranky right now—sending fiery, burny, sharp pain down your leg? I’ve got a playful, effective way to address...

Hi Reader, This weekend, I was in the dojo listening to my sensei talk about commitment, and she shared an analogy that hit home. Picture a relay team on a track. Each runner completes their 100m, but the true moment of responsibility is the baton pass. You run your part, hand it off, and then watch your teammate carry it forward. Your job is done—you’ve done your part, and now it’s up to them. Swerve Track And Field GIF by Brook Dorff This is exactly how I work with my clients. I stand...

Hi there, Over the past few months, I’ve been hearing the same thing from clients, friends, and even strangers in line at the grocery store: “I’m exhausted. I’m overwhelmed. I feel disconnected from myself.” Maybe you’ve been feeling that too. So instead of giving you another long list of “shoulds” or more things to add to your plate, I created something simple, gentle, and supportive—a short YouTube video series designed to help you move from overwhelmed to reconnected with yourself. Today,...

Hi Reader, Do It Fitness GIF by yovana Consistency with exercise—it’s one of those things we all want, yet it can feel tricky at times. I’ve learned that staying consistent isn’t about perfection or pushing through. It’s about how you think about movement. When my clients shift their mindset, everything else falls into place naturally. Here are the three mindset shifts that can make all the difference for you: 1. Change your angle Try approaching movement differently—switch the type,...
