An excerpt from the introduction to the July 2026 newsletter. This newsletter also included an interview with a hypnosis expert and information on a tight pelvic floor.
Summer is moving so fast! My family just had a super quick weekend adventure, and now my daughter will head off to her first sleep-away camp. Our family is in a time of renewal and talking more about our connection to something greater. My daughter’s camp will focus on being outdoors with gratitude for that creation.
I just finished a more advanced craniosacral training than what I have done before; this fall I will complete some neural manipulation training, an advanced ear course, and several foot health-focused “barefoot training” certification courses. More on that to come!
Overall, we are not really vacationing. That said, I am not working in the clinic all week. Crazy! I am focusing my staycation on writing and creating, and it feels so good! If I told you the plans I have, you would be like, that is crazy. Not because I am overshooting, but because there is a list that gets me to point B, and everything on the list is so out-of-my-actual-skill-set.
While I write, I sometimes listen to silence, sometimes to Taylor Swift, and sometimes to podcasts. Today, I listened to a podcast talking about psychics and the nature of time and our perception of it. This made me think and contemplate the fast-moving summer and, well…vacations, time off, time away, and the feelings travel brings. I do love those feelings.
It also brought me back to my love and gratitude for creation. When I go for a summer exercise walk by the river, or climb my favorite neighborhood butte, I feel without time. Like I have always been on this exact road and I always will be. There is no work or struggle. There is only this. Everything in that exact moment is perfect; it is the vacation, but I haven’t even left my neighborhood. There is no road in Italy that is somehow better.
Sure, if you are sending out tickets to Italy, pass on this way ;) And yes, I see travel in my future. The list I am working on will take me away from this computer…the classes I am developing will not teach themselves! But when I was working on cross-country cycling trips, doing manual massage therapy on elite athletes, a young co-worker once asked me how I could work on these trips year-after-year and how I wasn’t already ready to get back home. We had just started the trip, and he was ready to exit it.
Talk about a time warp—once you start one of those trips, you feel like working on it is all you have ever done and all you will ever do. He was thinking of how far off the end of the trip would be—45 more days of standing on a country road, driving a van, and eating gross sandwiches (for the record, I opt out of gross sandwiches). I told him you don’t think of the end. You think only of the tree in the park and the grass in the field. The endless grass of Oklahoma is beautiful; on the back roads the only sound is rushing wind (and buzzing flys—nothing is perfect, haha). The only things breaking up the fields of grass are old cemeteries and classic car graveyards.
I am not great at everything. Far, far from it. If I were great at everything, I would be out there selling my books, and my projects would move faster, and I would say the perfect thing to reach every woman who comes into the treatment room. Everyone would feel empowered and in control of the treatment; everyone would realize the healing path is about being soft, while also about putting in hard work. If I were perfect, the outcomes would be identical, and we wouldn’t need to troubleshoot the next way forward. But again, nothing is perfect.
If we were all perfect, we wouldn’t go through periods of renewal. And where is the fun in that? Renewal is literally the most enjoyable thing we could ever engage with.
What I am superb at is dipping into a specific place of spirit, where there is no time and nothing exists except the tree and the grass. And in that timeless place, I feel quite safe, and I know there is nothing better anywhere else in the world. It is all the same energy.
And so, as you read below about hypertonic pelvic floor muscle tissue, please know that healing requires renewal and “dipping into a place of spirit”. From a spiritual place, you pause. You become present with your breath and the feelings inside of you. You do not mind the time needed to care for your mind-body. There is no greater place to be.
This newsletter then shared an excerpt from a new project I am working on about the pelvic floor.
