A few weeks ago, we traveled from Bend, Oregon to West Palm Beach, Florida for Tony Robbin's Date with Destiny. It was amazing. And it was A LOT of sitting! Without the Wall Core Practice and Sciatica Relief Strategies, I would have been in a lot of pain. Got Sciatica, Low Back Ache or Hip Pain? Try the Sciatica Practice today.

Knowing your nervous system isn't about being calm all the time. It's about being connected to yourself. Learning the language of your body, responding to it's needs, so you have strength and power. Inside and out.
During the holidays, when you're pushed and pulled in so many directions, it's common to "lose yourself".
Women in particular tend to FAWN as a stress response. For women over 40, navigating perimenopause and menopause, the changes in hormones leave us MORE VULNERABLE to stress.
Practice can be your protection. Where you stabilize your body, mind and nervous system.
