"The single biggest advantage of training breathing.g patterns is to help bring a quietness to the mind. Thos is tue one thing that has a monumental impact in our everyday life. Accessing this improves quality of life beyond any of the other benefits.
Cam we bring a quietness to tue mind, and some degree of control over thinking patterns if we have chronically poor sleep quality (insomnia, snoring amd sleep apnea) amd a breathing pattern that is constantly driving the body into fight or flight."

Change your breathing, change your health.
Breathing dysfunctions impact health by reduced blood circulation and oxygen delivery, airway narrowing, poor sleep, nasal congestion, decreased energy and increase of anxiety and stress.

If you’re going to spend the time pumping, you might as well get as much milk as you can while you’re there. Here are some strategies that might be helpful!
🍼 Try to get multiple letdowns. If the milk stops flowing, that doesn’t necessarily mean there’s no more milk. Depending on how long you’ve been pumping, you may want to try to get another letdown.
🍼 Do breast compressions. This can help push milk out of your milk ducts and make pumping more efficient.
🍼 Make sure that your breast shields are the correct size. Incorrect sizing causes pain and can also affect output.
🍼 Relax as much as you can. Make sure you’re comfortable and if looking at the bottles to see how much you’ve pumped stresses you out, cover them.
🍼 Set your pump to the highest vacuum strength that is comfortable for you
🍼 Make sure to replace your pump parts regularly (especially valves). Suction can decrease over time.
🍼 Heat can help get milk moving. LaVie massagers are a great option
Hope these tips help you make the most out of your pumping time ❤️

Proper tongue posture involves resting the tongue up ⬆️ against the palate.
1. The tip should rest just behind the front teeth, but not touching them.
2. The middle and posterior sections should be in contact with the roof of the mouth.
3. The teeth should be slightly apart, and the lips should be closed.
Maintaining this posture can help with proper nasal breathing, optimal dental and facial development.
Where does your tongue rest when you are not speaking or eating?? 👅👅

Deep tissue massage is a common technique people frequently ask for.
The question is, is deep tissue what you're really looking for? Or just a harder pressure?
If I'm working on someone's back and there is a "knot" that is creating pain, typically you find them in the shoulder blades (scapula) but the tension can be pretty much anywhere.
It hurts if someone is pressing hard and just massaging. It makes your body want to lockup. Everything tightens, and it's hard to breathe properly. I know. I've been there.
How can any work get done if your whole body is a tightened ball of nerves?!
The answer is that it can't.
Deep tissue is going slow and sinking into those muscles. I slow it down. Find that spot and hold. Sink in, and let the body relax. The muscle will often relax under the pressure. I'm not jamming my thumb in, just resting there, and waiting for it.
It feels really weird when it let's go, but also really nice. Everything around it begins to relax. The tension begins to drain.
What initially started out defensively is relaxed, and while hitting a new spot can be uncomfortable, it may not always be painful.
What also helps is breathing. I often remind clients that slow deliberate breaths in and out of the NOSE (keep those lips together!) Helps with pain, and relaxation.
By the time you leave, you'll be able to move better, and hopefully relaxed as well.
So come in, get a deep tissue, breathe deep and relax.

My oldest had her tongue-tie released when she was 7.5 in the USA. Unfortunately, it reattached, and her functionality was minimal.
So when we moved to Ireland and I discovered The National Tongue-tie Centre, we knew it needed to be done amd thos time ot would stick amd shed be able to breathe, eat and swallow properly.
So today was the day! We got it done, and she did amazing.
