Hey Hudson Valley and Catskill friends!

I’m so excited to be part of this year’s Beacon Selfcare Crawl in Beacon NY. I’ll be joining all the other awesome local wellness professionals, restaurants, and shops. on Saturday, September 7 - 12pm-8pm.

Participants include local businesses that will offer a sampling of the health, beauty, food and fitness offerings from local gems you need to know. Each crawler will purchase a ticket and gain access to the treatment, service, or classes of their choice. The day of the crawl they will get a map that shows the participating businesses. Throughout the day, crawlers walk, run and bike around town to check out all of the selfcare and foodie options along the way. Every business offers a chance for crawlers to win a giveaway item valued at $100 or more. Plus, there will be opportunities for crawlers to experience dozens of freebies from group classes to healing sessions. More than 30 local businesses and vendors, and some 200 people participated in the first crawl. They were able to try out everything from healthy smoothie recipes, mini-massages, sauna sessions, yoga classes...and over 15 demonstrations of what selfcare means to us.

I’ll be hosting an in person Breathwork journey in Beacon as part of the crawl.

Can’t wait to see you there!! ❤️❤️❤️💜💜💜

Hello sweet friends!

I took a bit of a pause with offering breathwork over the last few months as I needed to work through some of my personal energy clearing and healing. Breathwork, it turns out, is one of my primary ways of sharing healing energy with the world, so it felt necessary to take some time to breathe, align, and get clear.

I'm so excited to be back!

And I'm very excited to share a new offer called the mini-session. Scroll through the slides to learn more!

Group virtual sessions will be returning in October. Stay tuned.

Sending loads of love your way. 🧡

“Working with Amy was transformational.”

Soon-to-be first-time mama, Silvie, came to me ready to address the chronic anxiety and worry she had been experiencing her entire life. She described the stress and worry as overtaking her, bringing her into a “freeze” state.

When working with me, she wanted to have tools to help her when she experienced anxiety and to have greater confidence in her decisions.

The freeze state is activated in the oldest part of our nervous system, the dorsal vagal path of the parasympathetic nervous system. Many of us also move into this state when we feel overwhelmed.

One of the most critical steps in addressing overwhelm is creating a sense of safety within the self.

It is said that humans need three things in terms of survival and a regulated nervous system – safety, belonging, and love.

Our focus was to create a sense of safety, belonging, and love within the self.

Somatic exercises helped Silvie tap into the feeling of safety. As we moved into the emotional release portion of our time together, she had massive revelations about the root of her anxiety and she quickly moved into self-compassion.

A few months later, as Silvie is about to give birth to her little girl, she is recognized within her high-profile job as being calm and focused and had a giant promotion before her maternity leave. She knows her identity as a mother and feels confident that she will be able to navigate any complexity that comes her way.

“I was able to build up my self-confidence and regain trust in myself. When I first started working with her I was experiencing challenging emotions around my career, motherhood, and self-esteem. I walked away from our work with a better understanding of who I am and a deepened love for myself.”

The main symptom of burnout is not…

Anxiety. 😱

(Despite what most people think) 🤔

Burnout is caused by chronic stress and anxiety from work and/or life’s general never ending responsibilities 🤦🏼‍♀️

And the symptoms of burnout are on the opposite end of the spectrum.

👉🏻 Difficulty concentrating

👉🏻 Fatigue

👉🏻 Loss of creativity

👉🏻 Detachment

👉🏻 Feeling sad and or overwhelmed

👉🏻 Digestion issues

Anxiety is a product of being in fight or flight (your sympathetic nervous system) 🕊️ and prolonged and chronic anxiety often leads us into burnout.

Burnout is associated with fawn and freeze (a symptom of an unbalanced dorsal vagal nervous system) 🥶

And because of this, healing from burnout requires different support.

To overcome anxiety, we would talk about down-regulating your nervous system.

But when it comes to burnout, you are already down-regulated (in fact, a little too much).

✨ So instead…✨

Burnout recovery requires up-regulating the nervous system through toning the vagus nerve.

Are you curious to know how to upregulate and tone your vagus nerve? Type me a question in the comments and I’ll come back to you! ♥️

You’re going to want to save this one! 😍

EFT AKA Emotional Freedom Techniques is a therapy technique (loosely based on acupuncture) which uses energy meridians in the body to release energy.

This energy release can then help eliminate various physical, emotional and mental issues.

Energy meridians are known as “energetic highways” in the body.

They are pathways allowing energy to flow ⚡

The process of tapping these points, can allow any trapped energy to pass through these pathways and be released.

Easing symptoms through creating a deeper mind-body connection 🧘🏼‍♀️

Use this post to guide you through experimenting with each meridian point and see how you feel!

Have you tried EFT before? Let me know your experiences in the comments! ♥️

Exhaustion or fatigue can manifest and show up as many different things.

If you’ve been experiencing any of these symptoms, there is a chance that you’re exhausted 😴

This won’t resolve itself overnight with one good night's sleep. Wouldn’t that be GREAT?!

You’ll need to look at your stress tolerance, how much movement you’re getting, your mindset, and potential supplements.

But the good news is that it CAN be resolved!

You CAN rest and feel energized 😍

Which of these practices are you going to integrate? ♥️

✨Exciting announcement✨✨​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Starting next Wednesday, April 13th, I will be offering in-person community breathwork journeys in the serene mountains of upstate New York! ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I'm so excited to be partnering with Wellstock, a beautiful wellness destination located near Woodstock, NY, which offers workshops for all ages. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
These breath journeys allow your body to release and stress and anxiety, heal old wounds, shift your level of consciousness, and studies have shown breathwork can improve your overall health. You will walk away feeling relaxed, clear, and ignited by your body's own ability to heal.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
In this 90 min class, I teach you the breath and bring you into your journey with meditation. You will then breathe for 45 mins to beautiful music. At the end of the journey, we will come together in a circle allowing you to share your experience. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
These breath journeys are so powerful. They were instrumental in changing my life. And, to experience the practice amongst others who are ready to heal and let go is even more powerful. You feel the powerful energy shifts for yourself and the collective. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Here are the dates and times I'm offering classes for April.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Wednesday 4/13: 10:00 - 11:30 AM​​​​​​​​

There is a lot of talk all over social media about manifestation or, as I like to call it, co-creation. These well-meaning individuals are selling you the beautiful magic of co-creation in these ways.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be in a feeling of gratitude.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Visualize what you want.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Journal what you desire every day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Connect with your guides for support.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All of these tips are useful; however, they ignore a critical piece. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every emotion, every piece of food, every thought we experience, every word we speak impacts and influences our vibration.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you don't genuinely feel worthy of what you desire (there is no fooling the vibration), it's going to leave you in a place of frustration. If you fill your body with foods laced with preservatives and have poor sleep hygiene, you will remain at a low vibration ... no matter how many positive thoughts you are repeating over and over in your head. And energy attracts energy. Low vibration is a magnet for other low vibrational things. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The magic of co-creation is real and requires introspection, honesty, vulnerability, and a sprinkle of guidance. Shifting your energy through different healing modalities like NLP, Breathwork, and EFT is a great place to begin. Assessing your lifestyle and healthy habits is another.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you want to co-create with the universe in a way that supports your biggest visions and desires, focus on healing -- your gut, your mind, your soul - and then watch the magic.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Ready to heal? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This coming Saturday, October 2nd at 10:30 EST, I’m hosting a free 90 min community breathwork journey. If you are curious about the experience, now is the time to sign up. No previous knowledge necessary. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The notion of pleasure in midlife ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What would it feel like ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How might you find the beauty in the simplest of things ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The stillness before you enter the shower⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The quiet in the middle of the night⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your favorite book on the shelf that upon opening floods you with pleasure⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The word pleasure can have so many connotations to it⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
it can drip with the lushness of intimacy ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
it can hold the sneaky thought of self-indulgence⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
it can send ripples of energy down your spine⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
do we deny ourselves these things in midlife and beyond ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
how often do you slow down⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
how often do you let yourself receive ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
how often do you find yourself in pleasure ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
how often do you revel in the beauty around you⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
the midlife woman is made of wildness ready to be evoked ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
the wise goddess is being called to receive, and to behold herself as beauty⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm ready. Are you?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Save this post as a reminder.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And remember that you aren't put on this Earth to go through perimenopause to suffer and lose your identity.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You are meant to step further into your identity and embrace all that you are.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Our lives are filled with big transitions. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A few that are top of mind:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The first breath we take. Our first steps. Graduating school. Getting married. Having babies... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Perimenopause. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's not talked about enough, and this time in our lives is HUGE. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The unfortunate thing is that this transition is sometimes unrecognizable and undiagnosed until after we've endeared months or years of unexplainable symptoms. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had many frustrating doctor appointments and discussions with experts where I've shared my symptoms. Most of the time I left still desperate to find answers. The one thing that wasn't explored: perimenopause. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After years of headaches, interrupted sleep, and inflammation I went on a self-discovery journey to the root of my symptoms. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are the three things that made an immediate impact.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥂 I cut alcohol. It didn't make me feel great, my sleep suffered after I drank, and I would often wake drenched in my own sweat.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💤 I focused on my sleep. I developed a nighttime routine, practiced mindfulness, and keep my room around 67 degrees to aid in a more restful night.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💊 I started taking magnesium. Magnesium can help improve sleep and reduce anxiety, as well as a handful of other things like cramping, constipation, and bloating. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm still learning. If you're in your late 30's to 50's and you've been experiencing unexplained symptoms, you might be going through perimenopause. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm happy to chat more in the DM's on how I finally came to the root cause of my symptoms, and provide more helpful tips on taking the holistic path!
