I spent years chasing the perfect body, diet, workout routine until I realized what I was really chasing was safety, love, and acceptance within myself.
This image says it all:
2019 vs 2025.
Vegan. Modeling. Overtraining.
Smiling outside, disconnected within.
I was chasing life.
Now I’m loving it.
Here’s how I stopped running from my emotions and came home to my body:
The body stores everything you didn’t feel.
The grief you avoided.
The rage you swallowed.
The fear you buried to survive.
It doesn’t just disappear.
It hides in your gut.
Your jaw.
Your breath.
Your fascia.
You can’t out-train trauma.
You have to release it.
I used to train to escape myself.
Every workout was a coping mechanism.
I ran from the stillness.
I thought discipline would save me.
Now? I move to meet myself.
I breathe through resistance.
I open the body with fascia maneuvers.
I let the nervous system unwind.
This is the work that truly healed me.
Fascia is the fabric of your trauma.
I used to think tension was from training.
But most of it was emotional.
Fascia holds your history.
And if you don’t unwind it gently, with breath, intention, and presence, You stay stuck in the same loops.
I stopped fighting my body.
I started feeling it.
Nutrition didn’t heal me, but it helped me come home.
I was vegan because I thought it made me “clean” and it’s the only way.
But I was disconnected from my gut and intuition.
Now I eat whole foods. Mostly animal-based.
Not from rules, but from feeling.
When your nervous system calms, your cravings shift.
You stop eating from trauma.
You start eating from truth.
I don’t chase anything anymore. I feel everything.
I release grief from the gut.
Shame from the throat.
Tension from the jaw.
The body remembers what the mind forgets.
And the path to freedom isn’t mindset work, it’s embodiment.
It’s learning to feel safe in your own skin.
This is why I created Mindful Movemend.
This is why I teach fascia release, nervous system healing, and somatic trauma work.

I didn’t “age better.”
I changed the way my body functions.
Here’s what I did 🧵
Fascia holds tension, trauma, and old patterns.
When you release jaw tightness, decompress the neck, open the ribs, and restore cranial space…
your entire shape changes.
Not cosmetic structural.
Try this to release anger & grief:
Most people live stuck in survival mode.
When you downshift the nervous system and reset the vagus nerve, your face softens, your posture lifts, your eyes clear.
Safety changes your expression.
5 Myths About the Human Body — That My Work Proves Wrong
(THREAD)
1️⃣ Myth: “Tension is just tight muscles.”
Truth: What you call “tightness” is stuck fascia holding emotional memory.
When you unwind fascia, you’re not stretching you’re releasing:
• fear
• grief
• anger
• stored survival patterns
That’s why a single solar plexus release can change your whole state.
2️⃣ Myth: “Healing takes months or years.”
Truth: The body shifts instantly once you open the right pathway.
I’ve watched people’s:
• digestion
• breath
• posture
• anxiety
• emotional load
change in seconds during one jaw release, tongue pull, or organ reset.
Alignment is immediate when obstruction is gone.
