I dreamt last night of standing in a large meadow facing a familiar mountain. Sparrows darted in and out of the tall grass, keeping wild boars at bay. Sparrows, in dreams, can symbolize innocence, restlessness, and freedom. They can also be related to family life. Wild Boars, can symbolize courage, assertiveness, and confrontation. A suggestion…
Contentment: A Contrast
I missed my New Years post this year. The truth is I wasn’t quite sure how to write it. This year has brought more evolutions than one shift in calendar years can reflect. I suppose that it reflects the turning of a century more than ever. Last I wrote I spoke to creating space for…
Space, Wide Open
I used to have this dream when I was on the cusp of falling asleep. I was floating through the world and as I drifted my size would change. I would shift from shrinking so much that everything around me seemed so massive to expanding in such a way that I was taking up huge…
Closure + Balance
The never ending quest. The last time I wrote about my personal journey I spoke about the concept of living at ease. This theme has become the theme of my summer. What started as a shift into realizing that it was safe and okay to NOT choose the harder road (yes, this actually took convincing)…
The Threat of Healing

Be grateful for their enthusiasm, and encourage them to help you by simply sharing, spreading the word or…
Did you believe them when they said you were broken?
One of my driving passions in my career has been around convincing people that their diagnosis, their pain, their injuries are not something they are chained to. I had to stop counting how many young athletes (usually female) or just people in general come into my clinic and tell me that they were told that…
Living at Ease
We live in a culture rife with dis-ease. I think it’s safe to say many of us exist day to day without even considering “ease” as a part of life. I found myself surrounded this evening by people seemingly living in ease-ful states. After a hike down to the river brought a lovely sunset while…
Why You Can’t Escape Your Pain
We all know the value of communication. We’re taught it on some level from the day we’re old enough to consciously communicate verbally all the way through school and in early job positions. Some of us excel at different forms of communication (verbal, written, creative expression, whatever)- and some of us struggle to effectively communicate…
