New logo over here at Pure Form xoxo

I’ve been having fun coming up with new logo ideas. I love the simplicity and calm this one brings.
I’m drawn to the asymmetry. It’s rooted in the idea that healing looks different for everyone and that it’s rarely a linear path 🌿
Sending lots of love to everyone on this rainy day ✨

~The following is not medical advice, just my personal story~

I’ve gone back and forth quite a bit about whether or not to share my story publicly. I saw a post on the importance of sharing our stories to help with early detection for others, so it felt like a simple choice after that.

I mean look at that control! 💯

I’ve decided to liven up this page by sharing some tips/tricks/interesting cases & patient wins here!

Huuuge progress in full body mobility here^^ I had to take some videos.

I wanted to share this dynamic warm-up + mobility routine that I’ve been enjoying recently.
I find it especially helpful for anyone who tends to feel a bit stiff or restricted.

Video 1: Full-body mobility flow targeting hip flexors, hip external rotation, thoracic spine, calves, big toes, and hamstrings.

Video 2: Calf + hamstring mobility paired with deep core activation.

✨ Why I use dynamic warm-ups like this in rehab:
They don’t just stretch tissues -they help restore joint mechanics and muscle balance by facilitating opposing muscle groups. This allows us to access a larger, pain-free range of motion —->which equals more gains with our targeted strength training.

Want to make it extra challenging?
Slow it down.
The slower you move, the more your core has to engage, especially during transitions.

Movement quality > speed

I’ve been getting a lot of great questions about dry needling, so I wanted to share a little more about it!

Dry needling can be a really helpful tool within physical therapy, especially when the goal is to reduce pain and help people move more comfortably sooner. Like other passive treatments, it’s not a standalone fix -but it can create an opportunity for better movement and more effective exercise.

Dry needling can be done with or without electrical stimulation and can be applied in a variety of ways depending on the individual. I most often use it to:
• Decrease pain
• Improve tissue mobility
• Help “wake up” or re-engage underactive muscles

I’ve included a few case examples at the end of this slide carousel to show how it’s been used in real-life situations.

As always, feel free to reach out if you have questions or are wondering whether dry needling might be helpful for you ✨

Mel knows the way to my heart -and yes, it IS a burnt-orange, cozy crewneck sweatshirt!

I was going to post this picture as a story, but it felt like the right moment to give some praise to a genuine light in this community.

Mel is easy to brag about because she truly is the best. She embodies the idea that if something is worth doing, it’s worth doing well. Watching firsthand the care, intention, and commitment to excellence she brings to her gym has been incredibly inspiring.

Her positive energy is contagious, and she goes the extra mile by truly understanding the why behind her craft -not just doing something to do it-but doing it because it makes a difference.

I’m a firm believer in surrounding yourself with people who push their own limits, and it’s been such a joy to be in the same space as you💕
Thank you for being such an incredible role model for me-and so many others🥳 ?

💕 New Winter/Spring 2026 Course Updates💕

I’m excited to share that I’ll be offering two postnatal courses in the upcoming months:

• Session 1: Begins January 17
• Session 2: Begins April 4

Each course includes four consecutive weeks of 1-hour classes, with each session building on the one before it.

These courses are open to anyone who has had a baby and wants to deepen their understanding of their pelvic floor and core, reconnect with their body, and build strength in a supportive setting.

If you have any questions or want to know whether this course is a good fit for you, please feel free to reach out!
Thank you!!
