More Knowledge Can Lead You to A Better Life

WANT TO BE FREE TO ENJOY LIFE'S ADVENTURES?

The Air Force brought me many invaluable experiences and some pretty epic opportunities.  When I was a freshman in college, I was selected for an elite training program - the opportunity to train and earn my Jump Wings.  Yep, skydiving!   I had told myself if I was selected, then I was meant to go.  So, I did.  

My roommate was selected, too.  We were scheduled to go at the same time.  How freaking cool is that?!  We were put in the same small group & were in the same plane for all our jumps. It was exciting & frightening at the same time!  

The nerves continued to build as our first jump approached. All the other groups had already had their first jump the day prior, but we had to postpone due to weather. Talk about anticipation and suspense! 

It was finally our time to jump.  I was scheduled to jump before my roommate.  When I climbed to the airplane door & positioned myself in the preparatory position, I zoned in.  It was just about doing what I had been trained for.  About doing what I went there for.  I was trained by the best, had the best equipment for the job & been given all the preparation I needed.  I trusted my training, I trusted myself, I trusted God. And out I went… 

After we both safely landed and gathered our chutes, I remember exactly what my roommate said to me.  “Girl, I wasn’t sure I could get myself to do it.  But, when I saw you go, I knew I could.”  That’s been my position in life, quite honestly.  And a major contributor to where I am today. 

I recognize next level opportunities, obtain the training I need to take me there, trust myself, take the lead ... and jump!  This is the secret to living at your highest potential.

Therapists Need Advice, Too!

PT WITH NAGGING HIP PAIN I received a message from a physical therapist colleague & active mom asking for advice. She had been dealing with some hip pain that seemed to have started when she started increasing her strength training regime. My "R hip, feels like "impingement," but also trigger points in piriformis and adductors. I just can't get them to shut off!" Spoken like a true PT 😅 I gave her pictures of 2 new exercises to try via messenger. 5 DAYS LATER, I receive this: "Messaging to tell you you're my hero. That seated stretch is AH-mazing. I have worked out all week with zero pain." It really CAN be that simple! I have recently launched the Pain Relief Coaching program to offer you all the same Quick, Easy, and Effective advice.

My Challenge = Your Gain

As many of you know, I've been utilizing the concepts of Postural Restoration®️ (PRI®️) for a real long time now. I took my first class in 2007 and was one of the first 47 certified in the world by the end of 2009. Since the first time I heard the explanation of common asymmetrical patterns due to our underlying asymmetrical anatomical influences (diaphragm, liver, lungs, etc), I felt justified. I had been seeing these patterns for years, but didn't fully grasp why. I knew I wanted to learn a better way of treating my patients, but this was SO DIFFERENT. Controversial, in fact. One of my first thoughts was "man, all the people I struggled to help that I could have helped." I doubted what I was taught in school. I realized that accepting these concepts meant accepting that I may not have given my past patients what they really needed. I could have turned my head from it - The challenge. The uncertainty. The starting all over again. Instead, I dove all ...

Understanding the Pelvic Floor - GAMECHANGER!

WHY ARE YOU CARRYING THAT EVERYWHERE, MOM? If you've bumped into me lately, you've likely seen this new "friend" poking out of my bag or sitting on my desk. I've had a "bones only" pelvis for a while now, but this one is a new addition. I've been under the wing of the great @hayleykavapt this month tackling a deeper understanding of the pelvic floor. I've understood how to INFLUENCE those deep muscles via the bony positioning and activation of the larger muscles surrounding the pelvis, but I didn't fully understand how to ACTIVATE and RELAX those muscles and when. I was pretty intimidated by those deep pelvis muscles, to be honest. I can say that adding this awareness and cueing to the exercises I've been giving out for years has made a huge difference in myself... and I'm excited to share this new appreciation with you! After just a few times practicing, my feet felt much more grounded when running today! Better hamstring and glute ...
