Thoughts on the concept of appearance (especially as we age). I know this can be an emotionally charged and complex topic, but in my opinion this is a healthier way to think about it than a lot of the ways it’s presented/discussed online. By the way: If you’ve been wanting to work on facial ten

Facial tension is highly somatic, so if we want to get rid of clenching and bracing in the face, we actually want to stop constantly scanning for the tension. Instead, you give your nervous system new input/stimulus by imagining what it will feel and look like for your desired changes to show up.

Trauma is stored in both the body and face. The face is part of the body, so of course we see it show up here too. If stress, emotional patterns, or difficult experiences have changed how your face looks and feels, my new lifetime access course Release & Restore was created to help change that. M

Somatic work is so much more than being calm all the time. The point is to help you live a more full and expansive life. This is achieved by increasing your *capacity* for range all along the nervous system scale, so that we don’t become either shut down or overly reactive in response to stimul

An apology. I still think we need to be able to have difficult conversations about how the physicality of the body and face is shaped and changed by what we experience. It’s not going away just because we don’t talk about it. But it is a very sensitive topic that needs to be discussed with care and

Facial massage is basically physical therapy for the face. Key caveat — this is only the case when it’s done correctly. A somatic approach is key. We already know that the entire body is deeply impacted by our internal emotional states and our stress levels. Tension in the mind = tension in

Get rid of sinus congestion, smooth and lift the mid face, and release disgust and annoyance stored in the face. I know, there’s plenty to be disgusted about out there. But this keeps you from staying *stuck* in that state until the tension becomes your new normal, which keeps you stuck even lo
