Poses help to strengthen certain muscle groups and lengthen or stretch others. It can help with alignment, increasing circulation, and be very relaxing. Because there is focus on the breath, regular practice can increase lung capacity, which can in turn help our heart health. It helps with pain, improves our mood and can boost our immune system. Yoga has evolved and now there are so many styles and brands to follow. It can be great for strengthening muscles and even cardio for fast-paced styles. The style I use will gently strengthen and lengthen muscle groups. Yoga expands far beyond poses and breath to deepen your connection to yourself and the universe. These benefits are endless. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6c04cf33d620741d37b392/1609628134042-YQ8QYMFFKKVVME73YO8M/IMG_0314.jpg My Approach to Self-Care When there are blockages preventing the proper flow of Qi, it can cause disorders of excess (ie: inflammation) or deficiencies (weaknesses), often resulting in pain or disorders affecting our digestion, sleep, mood, etc. When we eat and drink or do anything to excess we can affect the balance of our Qi and also if we have too little sleep, movement or nutrients it can affect Qi in the body. Even too strong of emotions can affect the balance within us. Stimulating acupressure points along meridians are helps to restore balance, so we feel calm, and confident with energy and have a healthy zest for life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6c04cf33d620741d37b392/1609510736828-ED9ORSVOCYKTG7O8N2B7/IMG_0298.jpg My Approach to Self-Care - One-On-One Sessions I work one-on-one with clients in person utilizing all the tools in my toolbox to help reduce pain and promote a healthier, happier you. I also help to create customized therapeutic self-care routines, because everybody is different with different imbalances and different needs. You set a goal and I help you attain it, whether it be emotional balance, strength, reduced pain, etc… I create these sequences at the appropriate length for you to work into your regular routine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6c04cf33d620741d37b392/1609510841947-MCQ7OPCSRLRMT8QEX2NG/IMG_0299+2.jpg My Approach to Self-Care - The yoga asanas I use are beginner to intermediate, so anyone; any gender, age, shape or flexibility level can practice this style. Asanas are not meant to make us the most flexible person in the room, or to be competitive, especially with ourselves. You cannot be bad at self-care. You have probably just put yourself on the back burner. So let’s bring you to the forefront. These routines don’t replace regular bodywork, acupuncture or medical care, but it is a safe, easy, and affordable route to take to help yourself find balance, which in the current world climate is of utmost importance. So, take a look and look after yourselves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6c04cf33d620741d37b392/1609510678100-32HHPMN48LXS0JOAUGYZ/IMG_0300.jpg My Approach to Self-Care - My Approach to Self-Care Acupuncture,Acupressure/ Massage, and Yoga are all holistic and do not separate the mind from the body, because physical pain can cause mental and emotional pain and vice versa. The recorded videos and group classes are “tune-ups” for your body, incorporating generally beneficial acupoints and poses. They are intended for overall vitality, wellness and as preventative care. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6c04cf33d620741d37b392/1609627977303-BC5UBSCDW3RETEZL0MOC/IMG_0311.jpg My Approach to Self-Care - Benefits of Acupuncture/Acupressure Acupuncture uses thing needles and acupressure uses hands or tools to stimulate acupoints along pathways throughout the body, which we call channels or meridians. The reason to stimulate acupoints is to encourage the free flow of Qi and Blood, and to improve circulation in areas of pain. Qi is the vital life force or “energy” that flows through the channels, not only in our bodies but in everything in the universe. https://www.averydayselfcare.com/my-story daily 0.75 2022-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6c04cf33d620741d37b392/1609509283805-EZLGKOEMX3LJOP6Y4Q3A/IMG_0263.jpg My Story As a body worker from outside of Philadelphia, I take a tough love approach. If you have been ignoring yourself, I’ll call you out but help ease your tension and offer guidance. As a practitioner I have always been drawn to teaching clients tips and tricks on how to “realistically” look after their bodies. I say realistically because I have been a musician since I was a teenager and the whole sex, drugs and rock and roll lifestyle tends to get in the way of a pure and healthy lifestyle. I understand that most people aren’t on the path of enlightenment. Most people have jobs, or are caring for loved ones, which takes up a lot of time and space. It can be hard to find the time to focus on health. Most people don’t want to quit their escapes and vices. We don’t have to be all or nothing, we have to be kind to ourselves and learn to moderate our lifestyle to help ease our suffering. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6c04cf33d620741d37b392/1609509887041-IN2ADNNEKVZ3GHK7B1HN/IMG_0295.jpg My Story My bodywork philosophy is holistic and all about maintenance, consistency, and the inclusion of self-healing on emotional, physical, and soul levels. I am a proponent of a work-life balance and believe that moderation, education, being open, being mindful (but not strict) about what goes into ones body, music, creating on all avenues, using our hands, yoga, meditation, acupressure stimulation, movement, stillness and massage are of great importance to keep that balance and the awareness of ourselves within our bodies, hearts and in the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6c04cf33d620741d37b392/1601521943045-KUPZKYFGM4FZVZVKJFXJ/IMG_8508.jpg My Story As a ginger I have been trying to manage my fire and heat for yeaaars. Breath has helped me and so has learning to listen to my body. Self-work is never ending, but for most of us it can be manageable without taking all our time and focus. I am keenly aware that some don’t have a choice and pain or illnesses do take over lives. Some of my nearest and dearest have suffered from chronic and ever terminal illnesses (#fuckcancer). Being able to bring moments of peace, relief, and comfort is something very close to my heart. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6c04cf33d620741d37b392/041d128b-22ea-4621-b935-bfb0cdface64/DSC_4779.jpg My Story It is my experiences with managing pain, that led me to be in the field of healing and it is my experiences with helping others’ manage pain that has kept me here. I have been a licensed massage therapist (focused on eastern modalities) and a student of yoga for a decade now. I have been a registered acupuncturist for 2 years. But I have been a rolling stone for longer. Moving around a lot has made my yoga mat my rock. With my yoga practice, some days I want to feel like a warrior and work on strength, other days I am my own client and I treat the aches in my body. Some days I want to sit, connect with mantra, and meditate. https://www.averydayselfcare.com/educational-background daily 0.75 2021-01-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6c04cf33d620741d37b392/1609504757468-0FCYAZM39VQLAB64IR5H/IMG_0247+3.jpg Educational/Professional Background As for my professional training, it was nearly 15 years ago that I enrolled in massage school at East West College of the Healing Arts in Portland, OR. I specialized in Thai massage, Tui Na (acupressure) and Deep tissue Massage. The first time I experienced Thai massage techniques, I understood what massage was all about. Upon graduating I went on to study Thai Massage in Changmai, Thailand at the Loi-Kroh School of Massage and The Baan Jai Center. As Thai massage is sometimes called "Lazy man's yoga," it naturally led me down the path of practicing yoga. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6c04cf33d620741d37b392/1609504915177-62RIUXT9T2OKPIM6SUV0/IMG_0258.jpg Educational/Professional Background - After nearly 4 years of teaching, playing music and studying in Asia, I returned to the US. On the way home I went to Rishikesh, India to do a Yoga teacher training course at the Yoga Association for Yoga and Meditation. The course focused on Hatha, Ashtanga Vinyassa, and meditation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6c04cf33d620741d37b392/1609505301471-Y85Q7XDKKE01AJDUEP6W/IMG_0244.jpg Educational/Professional Background - I graduated in the fall of 2018, at which time I endured a major loss in my life and spent some time for my own self-care, grieving, wandering and recapturing joy. After which, I returned to Philadelphia to continue my work in the healing arts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6c04cf33d620741d37b392/1609504724478-TXWN429CDQKD19LEUVIB/IMG_0239+2.jpg Educational/Professional Background - Upon returning to the east coast, I worked as a massage therapist, while continuing to train and study the body. During that time I graduated from Delaware County Community College with an Associates of Applied Science. This degree prepared me for a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Acupuncture program at the Acupuncture Foundation in Dublin, Ireland which ended at Nanjing University in Nanjing China. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6c04cf33d620741d37b392/1609507242510-JEDJMVXJBT0AL9L8HO6N/IMG_0266.jpg Educational/Professional Background - It was creating that self-care class that led me down the path of creating self-care classes for you. I am currently enrolled in a yoga therapy program at Breathing Deeply to further explore yoga as a healing modality and continue my growth as a healer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6c04cf33d620741d37b392/1609508830691-O5UJ4LQSCZRJZKHEG0NM/IMG_0291.jpg Educational/Professional Background - I love being a practitioner, but just like everyone else, my life changed in 2020. For many reasons, I made the easy decision to step away from untrustworthy bosses and the difficult decision to step away from being a hands on healer. Although I have been treating myself for years, this year I spent the beginning of ‘lockdown’ creating a continuing education course for Massage therapists. I teach a full body self-care routine for joints, abdominal, and energetic health using breath, acupoints, self-massage and the Pawanmuktasana series in Yoga. https://www.averydayselfcare.com/locating-acupoints daily 0.75 2021-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6c04cf33d620741d37b392/1601927035285-WNKOR3ISQYAWQ7WVTW6K/2cun.jpg Locating Acupoints 2 cun is the length of the tip of your index finger to the second knuckle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6c04cf33d620741d37b392/1601928274353-ATD2WC2IB3WB0TK0ENYI/2cun1.jpg Locating Acupoints 2 cun can also be measured with your index, middle and ring finger at the height of the first knuckle on your index finger. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6c04cf33d620741d37b392/1601926280367-Y43D1X93JWVQ3OIBXEDK/1cun.jpg Locating Acupoints 1 cun is the distance of the widest part of your thumb at the knuckle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6c04cf33d620741d37b392/1601926937721-Q54NNOZEBP0GAJH0LYVZ/1.5cun.jpg Locating Acupoints 1.5 cun is measured at the second knuckles of your index and middle finger. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6c04cf33d620741d37b392/1601926861903-VUF0JRJ3THBTCDP2RI7V/1cun1.jpg Locating Acupoints 1 cun can also be measured as the distance between the first and second knuckle on your middle finger. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6c04cf33d620741d37b392/1601927178232-IRR2G253NFWQ7100I0LF/3cun.jpg Locating Acupoints 3 cun is the width of your index, middle, ring and pinky finger at the height of the second knuckle on the index finger. https://www.averydayselfcare.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-01-03 https://www.averydayselfcare.com/advice-before-practicing daily 0.75 2021-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6c04cf33d620741d37b392/1609625292880-HVG650447YDAP5RWOXPN/IMG_0310.jpg Advice Before Practicing https://www.averydayselfcare.com/meridians daily 0.75 2021-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6c04cf33d620741d37b392/1603140845982-2C5NL3IVHG7ELCEGE6GT/Smallintestine.jpg Meridians -
