Calm In The Chaos
Mastering Stress In 3 Steps for Millennial Moms - Audio Recording

Untitled design (7).png

Deep breath. Healing begins when we stop avoiding and start feeling. 💛

You have to feel it to heal it, and when you shift from judgment to curiosity, everything changes. Instead of fighting your feelings, you can relate to them differently—with compassion and understanding. 🌿

Here are 3 tips to help you get started:

1️⃣ Pause and notice: Take a moment to check in with your body. Where do you feel tension or sensation?

2️⃣ Breathe deeply: Use your breath to create space for what you’re feeling. Inhale curiosity, exhale judgment.

3️⃣ Name the emotion: Gently acknowledge what’s there—"This is sadness," or "I feel frustration." Naming it helps you make sense of it.

Now it’s your turn: Take a moment to pause, breathe, and get curious about what you’re feeling.

Follow for more support that connects your mind and body in healing!

✨ Your body is incredibly intelligent—constantly working, adapting, and carrying you through life like pure magic. Whether we appreciate it or not, our body is always there for us, experiencing the world first—before our mind even makes sense of it.

When we take a bottom-up approach to healing—starting with the body rather than the mind—we tap into the nervous system, release stored tension, and create space for true transformation.

💛 Right now, close your eyes. Take a deep breath in, soften any tension, and reconnect with your body—the part of you that’s been there all along, experiencing life in its purest form.

⬇️ When you’re ready, comment below and share how you feel after this moment of connection.

Here’s a little of what our day will hold:

🌬️Somatic Breathwork – Release stored tension, free your mind, and reconnect with your body.

🎶Sound Bath – Drift into deep relaxation with sound frequencies that promote healing and grounding.

🚶‍♀️Aligned Action Workshop – Identify what’s truly important to you, so that each step you take in 2025 is in alignment with your values.

What to do about it 👇

Anxiety is your brain's built-in alarm system, designed to keep you safe in a world full of uncertainties. When we perceive a threat, whether it's real or imagined, our brain triggers the release of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, preparing us for fight or flight.

So, the next time anxiety comes knocking, try to see it not as an enemy, but as a concerned friend trying to protect you. Here are a few ways to reframe your relationship with anxiety and harness its protective power:

1️⃣ Acknowledge the Message: Instead of pushing anxiety away, listen to what it's trying to tell you. Is there a specific situation or thought that's triggering it?

2️⃣ Practice Gratitude: Believe it or not, anxiety often arises from a place of caring. Take a moment to thank your brain for looking out for you, even if its methods are a bit... overzealous sometimes.

3️⃣ Take a deep breath! Focus on elongating your exhale. This communicates to the body that it is safe! Place a hand on where you feel the anxiety in your body and draw your breath to that space.

4️⃣ Reframe the Narrative: Instead of seeing anxiety as a burden, view it as a helpful guide nudging you toward growth and self-awareness. By reframing your mindset, you can transform anxiety from a foe into an ally.

🌟 Remember, anxiety is just one part of your complex and beautiful human experience. Embrace it with compassion and curiosity, knowing that it's just your brain's way of saying, 'Hey, I've got your back.'

As the month draws to a close, I’m taking time to pause and reflect on this season of change. Autumn is a powerful reminder that letting go is a natural part of growth. When we slow down and create space for reflection, we open ourselves to new possibilities and deeper personal transformation.

Pausing to reflect isn’t just about looking back—it’s about releasing what no longer serves us and planting seeds for the future. Journaling has been a key part of this process for me, helping to bring clarity and insight as I move forward.

Here are 3 benefits of journaling for personal growth:

1️⃣ Increased self-awareness: Journaling helps you tune in to your thoughts and feelings, giving you a clearer understanding of what needs to shift or change.

2️⃣ Emotional release: Writing down your emotions is a powerful way to release pent-up stress or tension, allowing your nervous system to relax and reset.

3️⃣ Goal setting and accountability: Journaling keeps you focused on your intentions and tracks your progress, helping you stay aligned with your growth.

Taking time to reflect is essential for true transformation.

🧠 In my journey as a psychotherapist, I've spent years diving deep into the mind, exploring thoughts, feelings, and patterns. Yet, it wasn't until I embraced somatic breathwork that I truly understood the transformative power of the body in healing.

Somatic breathwork has completely shifted my approach to healing. In all my years of mental work, I’ve never found healing like I have through connecting with the body. By harnessing the breath, we can release stored tension, process emotions, and create space for true transformation.

I am BEYOND grateful for the opportunity I had to learn from the amazing @somaticrelease team and am so excited to help others experience the power of connecting mind and body and discover a new pathway to healing!  DM to ask me any questions or to book a session 🫶🏻  #somaticbreathwork #bodymindconnection #healingjourney #nervoussystemregulation #emotionalrelease #psychotherapy

🍂 Just like the trees shed their leaves in the fall to make room for new growth, we too can let go of what’s weighing us down in order to thrive. From a nervous system perspective, releasing old patterns helps create space for calm, balance, and renewal.

Here are 3 tips to help your nervous system let go:

1️⃣ Practice somatic breathwork: Use deep, intentional breathing to signal safety to your nervous system. This helps release tension and stuck energy, allowing you to reset and regulate.

2️⃣ Ground yourself with nature: Spending time outdoors helps to calm the body’s stress response. Connect with the earth by walking barefoot, focusing on your surroundings, or simply being present in the moment.

3️⃣ Set small, achievable goals: Let go of overwhelm by breaking tasks into manageable steps. This keeps your nervous system in its 'window of tolerance,' making change more sustainable and less stressful.

Let’s make room for new growth this season by releasing what no longer serves us!

So many of us have been taught that avoiding our emotions is the way to peace. But here’s the truth: when we push away emotions like sadness, guilt, or anger, we aren’t just avoiding discomfort—we’re disconnecting from ourselves. Every emotion we feel is a messenger, carrying valuable insights about what we need, what we’ve experienced, and what we’re ready to release.

By avoiding these feelings, we miss the opportunity to heal and grow. Emotions aren’t the enemy—they’re the guides leading us back to wholeness.

Here are 3 ways to start feeling your emotions fully, even the uncomfortable ones:

1️⃣ Pause and Breathe: When a difficult emotion arises, take a moment to breathe deeply. This helps regulate your nervous system, allowing you to stay present with the feeling rather than react to it.

2️⃣ Name the Emotion: Give your emotion a name. Is it sadness, anger, fear? Say to yourself "I'm noticing the feeling of x" By identifying it, you create space between you and the emotion, making it easier to sit with it without being overwhelmed.

3️⃣ Stay Curious, Not Judgmental: Ask yourself, “Where do I feel this emotion in my body?" This allows you to connect on a somatic level.

Remember, avoiding emotions may offer temporary relief, but true healing happens when you lean in, listen, and allow yourself to feel.

Don't underestimate the power of breathwork! ANYONE can benefit from doing breathwork, but especially those struggling with anxiety and trauma.

Here’s some of the science behind it:

1️⃣ Activates the Parasympathetic Nervous System: Breathwork can stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps the body relax and recover. This reduces stress and lowers cortisol levels, promoting a state of calm and relaxation.

2️⃣ Improves Oxygen Exchange: Controlled breathing techniques enhance the efficiency of oxygen exchange in the lungs, increasing oxygen delivery to the brain and other vital organs. This can improve mental clarity, focus, and overall energy levels.

3️⃣ Balances the Autonomic Nervous System: Breathwork can help balance the autonomic nervous system by regulating heart rate variability. This leads to improved emotional regulation, reduced anxiety, and a greater sense of well-being.

Many of you have been asking me about what Somatic Breathwork is. For me, it has been a healing modality that has been truly transformative. Clients have echoed this, with one noting that a single session was more effective than years of talk therapy. Somatic Breathwork offers an opportunity to get out of your head, tap into your body, and gain the insights, awareness, and healing your body holds. Our bodies store trauma, and this practice allows us to release stored trauma, emotions, tension, and more.

My Secret Sauce 👇

Ever wonder if therapists get triggered? The answer is YES!! Between clients, I often need a quick, effective way to regulate my nervous system. Often, I'll discharge some energy first by crying, screaming into a pillow, or doing some jumping jacks. Here's what I do next:

1️⃣ I Close My Eyes: This simple act allows me to bring my attention inward and take in less stimuli. It helps me get in my body and out of my head, creating a calm, focused state.

2️⃣ Do a Regulating Hug: This touch speaks the language of the nervous system, communicating safety and activating the parasympathetic system. Holding yourself gently sends signals to your brain that you are safe, which can lower stress and anxiety.

3️⃣ Sway Side to Side: Swaying has a calming effect on the nervous system. The rhythmic motion mimics the comforting sensation of being rocked as a child, promoting a sense of security and relaxation.

4️⃣ Focus on Deep Breaths: This might be the most important step of all. Deep breathing impacts your nervous system by activating the vagus nerve, which helps to lower heart rate and blood pressure. Elongating your exhales communicates to your brain that you are safe, further promoting relaxation.

Taking these steps helps me stay grounded and present, allowing me to be the best support for my clients. Try incorporating these techniques into your routine and notice the difference in how you feel!

Anxiety can feel overwhelming, but remember, it's just one part of your story. It's important to acknowledge it, but don't let it set the boundaries of what you're capable of achieving.

1️⃣ Recognize Your Strength: Even in moments of anxiety, you possess incredible strength and resilience. Focus on your past victories and how you've overcome challenges before.

2️⃣ Challenge Negative Thoughts: Anxiety often brings self-doubt. Practice challenging these thoughts by asking yourself if they're based on facts or fears. Replace them with positive affirmations.

3️⃣ Take Small Steps: Break down your goals into manageable steps. Each small achievement builds momentum and confidence, helping you push beyond your fears.

4️⃣ Practice Mindfulness: Mindfulness techniques, like deep breathing or meditation, can help ground you in the present moment and reduce anxiety's grip.

5️⃣ Seek Support: You don't have to navigate this journey alone. Reach out to friends, family, or a therapist for support and guidance.

Your journey towards overcoming anxiety is a testament to your courage and determination. Embrace your potential and keep moving forward.

🧘‍♀️ Everything we need is already within us, but sometimes we need to clear away the clutter to access it or bring more of it into our lives. Trauma is often stored in the body, and traditional talk therapy doesn't always allow us to fully access and release it. This is where breathwork comes in!

Breathwork targets the body, helping to release stored trauma and create space for healing. I'm excited to announce that I have officially started my breathwork business and am now offering somatic breathwork 90-minute 1-on-1 guided breathwork journeys, available virtually around the world and in person in Niagara.

🌟 Benefits of Breathwork:

1️⃣ Reduces stress and anxiety by calming the nervous system.

2️⃣ Enhances emotional release and healing by accessing and processing stored trauma.

3️⃣ Increases self-awareness and clarity, helping you connect with your true self.

4️⃣ Boosts mental and emotional resilience, making it easier to cope with challenges.

5️⃣ Improves focus and concentration by bringing you into a state of mindfulness.

6️⃣ Strengthens the mind-body connection, fostering a deeper sense of wholeness.

If you're interested in learning more or want to book a breathwork session, DM me! Let's embark on this transformative journey together. 🌈

From me to you ❤️

🌱 It's okay to outgrow people, places, and situations that no longer serve you. As we evolve, our needs and priorities change. Embracing growth means letting go of what holds us back and welcoming new experiences and relationships that align with our current selves.

💪 Vulnerability is a sign of courage and can lead to deeper connections. When we open up and share our authentic selves, we create space for genuine relationships. Research shows that vulnerability fosters trust and intimacy, allowing for stronger, more meaningful bonds.

🧘 Being present in the moment can reduce stress and anxiety. Mindfulness practices, such as meditation and deep breathing, help ground us in the here and now. By focusing on the present, we can break free from the cycle of worrying about the past or future, which often fuels anxiety.

🧩 Therapy can help you discover and understand your true self. Through therapy, you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a safe, non-judgmental space. This self-discovery process can lead to greater self-awareness, improved self-esteem, and more effective coping strategies.

🚶‍♀️ Your mental health is a journey, not a destination. It's important to recognize that progress can be slow and non-linear. Celebrate small victories and be patient with yourself. Remember, it's about continuous growth and learning, not about achieving a perfect state of mental health.

✨ Remember, seeking support is a sign of strength. Whether you're starting therapy or continuing your mental health journey, know that you're not alone. If you have questions or need guidance, don’t hesitate to reach out. Follow for more insights and support on your path to wellness!

🌸 Welcome May!

It's the perfect time for growth and blossoming. Just like plants thrive with the right conditions, we too can flourish and reach our fullest potential. Growth isn't just a concept; it's rooted in science.

🌱 Research shows that our brains are capable of neuroplasticity, meaning they can adapt and change throughout our lives. This means we have the power to cultivate new habits, learn new skills, and transform ourselves.

Here are 2 tips to foster growth this month:

1️⃣ Embrace Challenges: Growth often comes from stepping outside our comfort zones. Embrace challenges as opportunities for learning and personal development.

2️⃣ Cultivate a Growth Mindset: Believe in your ability to learn and improve over time. Adopting a growth mindset allows you to see setbacks as temporary and setbacks as opportunities for growth.

🌷 Follow for more mental health tips and share this post with others who are ready to blossom!

This one can hit hard ❤️

Trauma comes in various forms, and it's not always as overt as we might expect. There are different types of trauma, often classified as 'big T trauma' and 'little t trauma.'

Big T trauma refers to significant events or experiences that are overwhelmingly distressing or life-threatening. These can include physical or sexual abuse, natural disasters, accidents, or witnessing violence. Big T trauma is often what comes to mind when we think of trauma, but it's not the only form that can leave lasting scars.

On the other hand, little t trauma encompasses more subtle yet still impactful experiences that can accumulate over time. These may include emotional neglect, verbal abuse, bullying, constant criticism, or growing up in an unstable environment. While individually these experiences may seem less severe, their cumulative effect can be just as damaging, shaping our beliefs, behaviuors, and emotional well-being.

Reflecting on both big T and little t trauma can help us better understand the complexities of our past and how they continue to influence our present.
