Creating Health, Not Stress

A couple of months ago, I bought groceries in the middle of my niece’s birthday party.  We were celebrating first at the local paint-your-own pottery studio and then at my parent’s house, so I took the opportunity to make a mad dash to the store between those two events. Of course, I was late to… Continue reading Creating Health, Not Stress

Pain Math – Your Brain is getting it Wrong

I used to think that nearly everything I did caused pain.  Before I knew it, the pain had ruled out most everyday activities, like walking, sitting, standing for too long, sleeping in certain positions, eating most foods, having sex, and more.  My life shrank, little by little, until there wasn’t much left. At the time,… Continue reading Pain Math – Your Brain is getting it Wrong

During my pelvic pain experience, I, like most… Continue reading It’s NOT about Your Diet
