Yesterday I shared a little about Motherwort, and today I want to tell you exactly why I chose this plant.
But to understand that, you first have to understand something else: Your Body is Electric.
And the first step for you to begin to really heal whatever ails you (stress, anxiety, weight gain or loss, back pain, inflammation, infertility)—you name it—is right here.
Yes, I know that's a big claim. And I'm the first one to tell you to run when someone tells you snake oil, or tells you one or two methods are going to heal everything. I say that because I value your trust.
But there is a very real, scientific reason the terms... nervous system, vagus nerve regulation, and even trauma have all found their way into the mainstream.
When I work privately with clients, we often start at a place they don't expect. Right at the circuitry.
Right at the nervous system.
The old news is that the first line of defense is your gut.
Well, it's not that that's no longer true, but your first line of defense is taking care of your nervous system.
Which is why I created this retreat.
Sunday is Rest, Replenish, Renew, an online nervous system retreat.
I know, it's not very s*xy sounding. (though... it may just help you have better s*x.)
Why? Because you need to be relaxed to truly enjoy anything—and to heal.
Your body simply cannot heal... (or make babies, or grow healthy skin, or digest well) when your body is anxious or in fight or flight. When you're in a parasympathetic state—rest and digest—that's the only time your body can heal.
Your body is either in healing mode, or it's not. Simple... except it’s not.
This is the epidemic, folks.
Taking a little time and making a small investment in learning and understanding the state you and your nervous system are in will simply change the trajectory of your health journey. It gives you the foundation you need for most everything else to work.
Oh my God... thinking back to me at the shop for years! I’ve spent decades trying to bring this work to people. I've worked with massage therapists, doctors, and therapists whose fields are only recently beginning to take the state of the nervous system into consideration.
They are finally realizing that nervous system regulation has been the often-missed piece all along.
(Just think about the power of adding herbs that also support your nervous system…)At Sunday’s retreat,
I’m teaching a mini-class about herbs that are called nervines. This is key. And it can seem unrelated!
Here’s a story:
My knee surgeon from Boston, Massachusetts, asked me how I'm still standing on my same knee after five knee surgeries...
And yes, I take herbs for this and that. But the reason I'm not only still standing, but dancing, skating, walking my dogs, all with my original knee..
(BTW, it's not a failure if you've had a knee replacement) is not just a miracle that my knee is healthy.
Well, it is sort of a miracle—but really, it’s the profound work I’ve done with my nervous system.The same rules of the nervous system apply to your body, too.
So if you've got sugar addictions, anxiety, sleep issues, or chronic back pain... I really hope this helps you look at your health a little differently.
You don't have to try to fix everything at once.
You just have to fix the foundation first.
First, come join me this Sunday. It's going to be replenishing for your body, heart, and nervous system in a way that you maybe didn’t think you needed.
One woman even told me, “That was delicious.” ❤️❤️
My retreats are a blend of grounded herbalism with depth. And because connecting to your calm and regulated self—your true self—is how you unlock healing, you also unlock years of tension that grips your muscles and your fascia so you become a better athlete, have energy and libido back, clear up digestion... and become more beautiful inside and outside. Nervous system work, combined with herbs.
Please join me, you won't regret it.
Though you may on Sunday..... if you miss it, and you're still feeling the same hot stress that summer can bring. (And if you’re dealing with actual hot flashes? This nervous system work is a lifesaver for those, too. Which brings us right back to Motherwort! See how it all connects?)
Please come see for yourself.
It's $79 for 3 relaxing and educational hours of guided meditation, setting powerful intentions, and mini-classes on the vagus nerve, calming nervine herbs, and more. So you can quickly return to a healthy state in your body and mind, aka a parasympathetic state.
I know it is hard to find the time, but what happens if you don’t?
You may have heard the old phrase: nothing changes if nothing changes. And sadly, it's true. If you don't take a moment to pause and reset your circuitry, you're going to keep running on that same hot stress.
More patience for your family, your kids, your animals, for yourself….
From my heart, join me.👇 I've dropped the direct checkout link to save your spot in the very first comment below! 👇
