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:Image
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. Image
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.Image
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.Image
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. Image
This is why I created Mindful Movemend.
This is why I teach fascia release, nervous system healing, and somatic trauma work.

You’re not just holding tension, you’re holding trauma in your gut.
Bloating, Gas and Constipation?

It’s not random.
Those are emotions your body couldn’t process.

Here’s how to release it in under 2 minutes and why it might even fix your shoulder pain Image
Image
Your stomach is where Resentment hides.

Not rage.
The quiet kind:
•Swallowed betrayals
•Words you never said
•Boundaries you were too afraid to set

You didn’t express it.
So your body held it right in your gut Image
When emotion gets suppressed, fascia tightens.
Especially around the stomach and diaphragm.

That tightness starts to pull everything out of alignment:
•It compresses digestion
•Slows lymph flow
•Traps waste
•And tugs on surrounding structures

Like your left shoulder. Image

THE DOUBLE FIST SILENT SCREAM

This is the second DIY jaw release I use to unlock rage, grief, and trauma stored in the face by tapping into the cranial nerves and fascia.
Try it and feel everything shift. Image
Image
The jaw is a vault for suppressed emotion.
•Rage you never expressed
•Words you couldn’t say
•Grief you swallowed
•Stress you chewed on at night

Most people grind their teeth and clench their jaw without realizing they’re locking trauma into their face. Image
Here’s how to release it (try this now):
•Make fists.
•Push up into the corners of your jaw with both fists.
•Open your mouth as wide as you can.
•Push your head down into the resistance.
•Inhale through the nose.
•Exhale like a silent scream.

Repeat 6 deep breaths.

The DIY Jaw Release: A 90-second technique to downregulate the nervous system, open the breath, and release stored tension from the face, neck, hips, pelvic, and gut.

Here’s how to do it properly: Image
Image
Most people hold years of unprocessed stress in thejaw and face.

This area is connected to the vagus nerve, cranial tension, and emotional regulation.

Releasing it affects everything from breath depth to gut, hip and pelvic tension. Image
How to perform the Jaw Release on yourself:
•Place your index fingers inside your mouth, one on each side.
•Press them gently but firmly all the way back along the top gums behind the last tooth.
•Anchor your thumbs under the chin to create leverage.

You should feel pressure along the fascia of the upper jaw.

Breathe 6 times in through nose and out through mouth. Open the mouth as wide as you can on exhale.
Move your had as you see in the video.

Jaw Release Will Change Your Life

Most people have no idea how much trauma is stored in the jaw.

Tension, anxiety, control, grief, all locked behind clenched teeth.

When you release the jaw, the entire body unwinds.

Here’s why: Image
Image
The jaw is your emotional brake pedal.

Whenever you felt unsafe growing up, your body learned to “hold it in.”

That often meant:

— Biting your tongue
— Clenching your jaw
— Swallowing your emotions

Over time, this holding pattern becomes chronic tension. Image
Your jaw is directly connected to your pelvis, neck, and diaphragm.

It’s all fascia.

So when your jaw tightens, it pulls on your throat, traps your breath, and locks your hips.

No matter how much stretching you do, it won’t release unless the jaw does. Image

Most people stretch their muscles.
But the real tension is in your fascia.

Your trauma isn’t in your mind,
It’s in your tissue.

Here’s why a simple forward fold with bouncing can release years of stored emotion and pain and the feeling of not being supported Image
Image
Static stretching is outdated.

You hold a pose, wait for the burn, maybe feel looser for 5 minutes, but the tension comes back.

Why?

Because muscles aren’t the root problem.
Your fascia is. Image
Fascia is your body’s connective web.

It wraps around every muscle, bone, and organ.

It stores trauma, emotions, and tension patterns.
And it responds to rhythm, not stillness. Image

Your fascia is 70% water.
Your nervous system runs on electricity.
But none of it works without MINERALS.

If you’re tight, anxious, inflamed, or exhausted, there’s a high chance you’re mineral deficient.

Let’s break it down Image
Image
The fascia is your body’s connective tissue network.

It holds muscles, nerves, and organs in place.
And it’s rich in nerve endings, fluid, and collagen.

Healthy fascia is:
✅ Elastic
✅ Hydrated
✅ Responsive
✅ Pain-free

Unhealthy fascia is:
❌ Rigid
❌ Dehydrated
❌ Prone to injury
❌ Stores trauma + tensionImage
The nervous system sends signals through electrical impulses.
But here’s the kicker:

Electricity requires minerals.

Sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, these are electrolytes, not just nutrients.

They literally power the body’s internal wiring. Image
