Throughout my life I have known and been supported by some amazing women.  They've guided me, mentored me, taught me, stood by me.  I wouldn't be who I am today if not for these women in my life.  

But I've also had those moments of feeling alone, unsupported, stressed and anxious, doubting and questioning my every decision.  I remember times of pure exhaustion when raising children, when running a business and maintaining a home, when just living life, thinking that I just couldn't do ONE MORE THING.  These are the moments that bring us to our knees!

​

​And I see it everyday when a client comes in.  She's been through the ringer.  She's stressed out.  My friend Laura Wieck says it perfectly here:  "I saw every single person I touched wrestling with what a mentor of mine, Phillip Shepard calls “the disease of disconnection.”

I saw how this disconnection we have influenced how people felt and moved within their bodies.  I saw this disease of disconnection and how it impacted relationships, jobs and communities.

And I saw at the heart of all of this was this disease of disconnection within ourselves.

We have forgotten how to live within ourselves. We have forgotten, or rather, it’s taught out of us, HOW to be present in our own bodies.

And when we’re not able to connect with and live with and be embodied with ourselves, we lose our connection to the earth. We lose our connection and relationships, we create societies and cultural systems that oppress. That disconnect. And I know that there is a better way." 

We know there are consequences to living disconnected, to living constantly stressed and anxious, to be constantly in fight or flight.  We lose our health, we lose our hope, we eventually lose our humanity.
