3 Ways to Feel Better, Fast
The primary reason we end up with chronic pelvic pain syndromes is surprisingly simple. Our bodies are designed to respond to danger and stress with the fight or flight response. Two very important things happen when we experience this physiological response consistently, day in and day out.

Mind-Body Healing for Vulvodynia and Vision
I remember mentioning in a post once that my eyesight has been improving gradually over the years. Ever since I started using the mind-body tools, I’ve reduced my vision prescription a little bit each year.

Client Interview – Healing more than the Physical Body
Two weeks ago I wrote about the spiritual element of my healing journey. For many clients, once they have healed their bodies, they, too, embark on deeper and larger levels of healing.

An Ode to Mind-Body Healing
When I was in the thick of the pain struggle, my husband was a Naval Officer. As a result, we moved regularly, mostly back and forth across the country.

Reconnecting to Your Body
What does it mean to be connected to your body? How can anyone really be disconnected from her body? I mean, aren’t we all pretty much stuck in these bodies we’ve got? Being disconnected simply means your mental awareness is elsewhere. You’re thinking about your to-do list, the fight you had with your spouse last… Continue reading Reconnecting to Your Body

In mind-body coaching, we often work with the message behind the physical pain/symptom. I’ve often joked that I’m somewhat stubborn, to put it gently, and my body really has to give me a good smack to help me make important changes in my life.
