Self care during the holidays
I can hardly believe we are almost already at the end of the year! This is a friendly reminder to continue to take care of yourself during the holiday season. Don't let all your self care practices go out the window! This is when most people get super busy with...
Is What’s “Comfortable” Causing Your Pain?
Lately I’ve been discussing how sometimes the things that we think of as comfortable (in theory) often end up causing long term tightness and pain. It takes a long time for the pain and tightness to become noticeable or cause injury, and it also takes a while to...
High Heels and Your Spine
My last post was about pillows and how they can affect your spine. Want to guess another thing that really does a number on your body? High heels. They look cute, but ever notice your back is super tight after a few hours of wearing heels? That’s because your whole...

The Pelvis and how it affects the rest of the body
I think of fall as a "back to school” time even if I’m not actually in school. I always like to either take a class in a new skill or at least read a book about a new topic. And that’s what I did! I just got back from another ELDOA training where we learned all...
Getting Started with Pilates and ELDOA
Hello Friends! Good movements = good health! Did you know that your body needs to move for optimal health? Maintaining strength, mobility and flexibility in all of our joints - even the small ones - is important for overall balance and well being, and can have a...
