Healthy Roots Chiropractic

Magical Migraines, focuses on self massage for migraines and headaches.

The mainstream sports percussion/vibration tools are way too strong, for the delicate muscles around the head, neck and face. But what do you do when you have muscle tension in those areas?

I have combed the market for an appropriate massage tool for these sensitive areas and I am happy to present it to you in the form of a Live Workshop!

The details:
Thursday September 28th
5:30-7:00pm
Bhakti Wellness Center (my office)
7550 France Ave S, Edina MN

3 ticket options: this is a HYBRID event, so if you aren't in town, you can still participate

1) Live in person with massage tool: $60
2) Online with massage tool: $60
3) online only: $25

There are VERY LIMITED in person tickets, only 15 seats, so reserve your ticket soon if you want to join us in person!

I am collaborating with Jackie Golob of Shameless Therapy to present this event, because the perfect massage tool.....is a personal massager. Yup, that kind of personal massager.

Objects only carry the meaning that you assign to them, so I am looking forward to presenting up to date, scientific information about:

*Understand Why Migraines Happen
*Learn some anatomy of the Head, Face, & Neck
*Hands on Learning Experience with different types of Self Massages to Soothe Migraines
*Learn How to help Migraine Pain with Massage tools!
*How to Use this Personal Massager
*Learn how Physical, Mental, & Sexual Health are Related
*How Pleasure can Block Pain in the Brain
*How to care for the Massage tool Used in Workshop, & more!

I'd love to have you share this event with anyone you think might benefit from it, drop it in any facebook groups (like local town groups, moms groups, etc) and even have you join us!

NEW HEADSHOT ALERT!

It’s been a while since I have posted on socials. In truth, I got pretty burnt out by the constant churn of content, self commodification, and performance. In truth, I stopped feeling like I had anything to write about or anything to share.

I finally have been feeling like I have things I want to share.

Starting with these amazing new headshots I got recently!

I know, my hair is a lot longer.

Over the last months I have been prioritizing connecting in- person, and have been busy behind the scenes setting up new ways to connect, help my clients, and empower through education.

I have a few live appearances set up for this Fall, I’d love to meet you in person.

Magical Migraines with on Sept. 29th
Twin Cities Wellness Week with on Oct. 8th

More details for both of those to come.

Thanks for waiting for me!

#1 of 12 Different Types of Migraines⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Comment below if you want more of these breakdowns!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's going to be like the 12 days of Christmas, but way less exciting. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
First up, Migraine Without Aura : THE MOST COMMON type of Migraine. An attack can feel like intense throbbing headache, typically felt on one side of your head. This can last anywhere between 3 hours and 4 days. Yikes!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Remember to take any advice with a grain of salt.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No one else can be the author of your story. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Quote from Record of a Spaceborne Few by Becky Chambers ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Did you know that there are 12 different types of Migraines recognized by Medical Professionals?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'll be going over all t]o them in the next few weeks. And those don't cover other types of headaches not categorized as "Migraine" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Remember: Migraine is not just a bad headache. It is a complex neurological disorder that is poorly understood. We are working on learning more about Migraine and how to manage them every day. And we are far from having a complete picture.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Each person's migraine presents in highly individualized symptoms and can have a broad variety of triggers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You don't have to manage it alone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Long time no talk everyone. I’ve been taking some time for self care and letting some of the things in my life take a pause. I’m starting to feel inspired again and ready to plan new content. So I’m back! Not everyone can handle intense exercise. So I thought I would share my self care activity if the day! Yin yoga for a gentle, whole body stretch. Today I focused on stretching my hips and around my shoulders because we all (myself included) spend a lot of time sitting. Nice to see you. Looking forward to sharing more soon. -Dr. Brenna.

Tomorrow at 12pm CST!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'll be going LIVE with to talk all things migraines, neurology, and intimacy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Come with questions! We'd love to have you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I know I'm not the only one that struggles with consistency, some weeks I have a ton of content and topics that I want to talk about.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Other weeks I can't even get ymself to sign into Insta.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
ANyone else relate?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That's why I try to create routines for myself. Inspiration fades quickly, but when there are goals to be met, creating routines and set times to create habits can be powerful tools to keep us on the path to our goals, before we can sabotage ourselves.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is true in many areas of our lives, our diets, exercise routine, self care appointments like bdoy work, chiropractic care, and metal health. Coaches can be a great resource to elp keep you accountable and moving forward. They create an opportunity for you to invest in an experience with them in order to improve with their guidance and collaboration.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are your strategies to create more consistency in your life?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Any tips to share? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Its today!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Looking for an opportunity to meet IRL?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today is your chance!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm going to be at the Entrepreneur Fair tonight from 4-8pm at the Apt in Minneapolis. If you have time, stop by and say hi!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Did you know: Doctor means teacher in Latin?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When was the last time anyone in healthcare took the time to TEACH you what was going on in your body. How to not only, correct imbalances, but how to prevent them from occurring in the future? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who taught you how to listen to your body?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I get it. I'm not the perfect Chiropractor for everyone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Does that shock you? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am not fast. I am not cheap. I do not use a lot of force. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I care deeply about bringing your nervous system into balance by creating a safe environment, with no sudden movements, or abrupt noises.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I do a Meet and Greet consultation before taking on a client. I use this time to introduce you to my approach to care, how the office works, where we are located, insurance, paperwork, and any other practical questions. I introduce my type of gentle care, and go over what to expect. This allows both of us to determine if we are a good fit, or if your needs can be better met somewhere else. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Another shocker?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If this goes well, I invite clients to book an initial visit. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My intake process is comprehensive. My initial visit is 1.5 hours. In that time we go over your History, and do a Orthopedic, Neurological, and Chiropractic exam. We do a first treatment. Then, I take all of the data I have collected and turn it into a Detailed Report that we go over on a second visit. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Healthcare is collaborative. I'm here to facilitate healing, hold space for you, and guide you. If something isn't working. We change it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You don't have to do this alone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now taking new clients, follow the link in my bio to book a Free Consultation.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Aw yeah! Its summer fruit season!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The wild raspberries are out, and they taste delicious!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What's your favorite summer fruit?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I could eat cherries all day, every day. No lie. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

How to listen to your body:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No one is more of an expert on your body than you are. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our body's spend every moment of our lives keeping us safe and moving forward. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is our job to take responsibility for our body and make choices that support our own health. All types of health. Physical, social, emotional, etc. You get the idea.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The journey of self discovery starts with listening. Learning the language of your body and learning its patterns of needs, wants and likes so that you can learn to anticipate it. And live in better harmony with your body. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What is your body trying to tell you today? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

These are the tools that I use in a regular visit. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I gown my patients so that I get a clear view of their spine and the muscles surrounding it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you saw my earlier post, I uses a pencil to make precise markings. Each person's body is a little different.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I use some massage oil to provide a smooth surface for the pencil, and make sure that it doesn't feel scratchy on the skin. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The small dowels on the front left side help me reach tiny spaces between the bones of the spine. This allows me to use a gentle force to reach the disc between your spinal bones. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And finally, the top are my shoes. They have velcro on the tops so they can fit a wide range of foot sizes, and have a little extra heel so I can accurately compare leg length side to side.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

"What's the bravest thing you've ever said?" asked the boy⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Help." said the horse.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Asking for help can be so scary. Its opening yourself up to change, possible rejection, and maybe, even a little bit of hope. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm here to help. Schedule a free Meet and Greet consultation through the link in my bio. I can help you find the right path forward. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You don't have to do this alone.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Like, share of comment if you learned something today!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hydration is more than just water. Our bodies rely on minerals called electrolytes, these minerals carry electrical charges through our bodies and perform many essential functions. Basically, electrolytes make sure that we can use the water that we drink efficiently.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We mostly get our electrolytes through our diets, but it can be helpful for some people to supplement electrolytes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have any questions about electrolytes? Let me know in the comments below.

Today I am grateful.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am grateful for my body which has been with me every day. It has always done its best to protect me. It has always done what it has needed to in order to protect me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I show my gratitude by taking care of my body. By eating food that is nourishing and tasty. By moving and exercising in order to maintain what I have. By taking time to support it with gentle healing modalities like Chiropractic care, and massage. By finding a peaceful moment every day to enjoy being alive and present in the moment. By connecting with others and finding joy in community. And by prioritizing my sleep and recovery time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Self care doesn't feel like the right word. It feels more like Self Gratitude. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How do you show gratitude for your body?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

"I have received such thoughtful and thorough care from Dr. Brenna Erickson for the last year. Her approach is to treat the whole body within its specific context and circumstances, and it has really transformed the way I think about taking care of myself. From understanding the discomfort in my jaw to the tension in my toes, Dr. Erickson helped me see how important it was to get my whole body on the same page. She not only helps you get everything in the right place, but builds a strategy with you to maintain that help. Her technique is also very gentle and as someone with a lot of body-based anxiety, I found her sessions really therapeutic in additional to the pain relief. I am so grateful and will definitely be coming back. I cannot highly recommend her and her whole team of care professionals enough."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

thank you!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Happy Monday everyone!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know things have been a little quiet around here for the last week. My partner started a new job last week! And its great!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And we are sharing one car right now. So I have been busy with a lot more To-ing and Fro-ing than usual. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Its made me stop to think about Stress. And how we can't always control how much stress is in our lives, but we can control how we respond to it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That's why I prioritize things that fill up my cup, like bodywork, exercise, sleep, and the other little things in my life that make me feel able to just...Handle More, and handle it gracefully. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So here's to you. Good job, handling it all gracefully. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And stay tuned! I'll be back on track with more migraine and health content this week.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Also shoutout to for celebration sushi.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Improved Pain Scale! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I promised to post this from my IG Live earlier today. So HERE IT IS!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Remember this is a VAS - Visual Analog Scale⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
0-1 = No pain⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2-4= Mild⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5-6 = Moderate⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
7-10 = Severe⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Medical providers CAN'T truly understand what it feels like to be in your body, experiencing what you experience. The VAS is a method to try to understand what our clients or patients are feeling. It also helps us communicate with other providers, record detailed notes in your chart, and TRACK YOUR IMPROVEMENT.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Which number do you like the most? I have a soft spot for number 6. It makes me laugh every time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What does it all mean?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm going to be doing a LIVE video tomorrow talking about WHY doctors want to know your pain rating, HOW they use the information, and WHAT the heck it all means, and HOW to fill one out correctly. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you been stumped by the VAS scale before? Drop an emoji of your experience in the comments. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
See you there!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Chiropractic care has been shown to increase resilience to stress, allowing you to handle life with more grace.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Curious about what my work looks like?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am a Gentle, Neurological Based Chiropractor. I use specific somatic work that involves no popping, cracking, or any twisted positions to bring your neurological system into balance. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All of my work is done by hand, with just a couple ounces of pressure, about the same amount that you would feel comfortable pressing on your own eye. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I use a reflex that is present in everyone's body to determine what your body needs at that specific moment in time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I specialize in working with clients who:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*Have Migraine or Headaches⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Beautiful afternoon yesterday.

Sometimes the simplest pleasures are the most satisfying.

It's not all migraine all the time over here at the office. I help people with other health challenges as well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's some kind words from one of my recent clients:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Just finished this audiobook, short, sweet, and funny. The audiobook version is very good.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are you listening to right now?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thanks and .app

Migraine is a complex neurological condition. . .Migraine occurs on a spectrum. . . You don’t have to manage it alone. . .

Stress is THE MOST COMMON trigger for migraines. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
7 in 10 s report STRESS as their primary trigger.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And even more specific than that, most people report migraines THE DAY AFTER a stressful event, like finishing a big project or meeting a strict deadline. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
During stressful moments, the brain releases chemicals as the body prepares for “fight or flight.” These chemicals cause a range of brain and body changes, including muscle tension and dilation of blood vessels. For a person with migraine, these reactions to stress can trigger a painful migraine.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a reaction to stress, a person may make changes to their routine such as missing regular meals, sleep, or exercise. These are all common migraine triggers that can make stress and migraine feel like an endless cycle.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's impossible to eliminate all stress in your life, but sometimes it is possible to manage many of the things that create the most stress and tension in your life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is important to try and reduce stress because long-term stress can lead to chronic migraine and other illnesses. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I help people raise their threshold for stress by helping their Nervous System become more flexible and resilient by taking a unique look at your nervous system function. I assess what stage of stress you are experiencing, and work with you to address the root causes and ways you can incorporate simple lifestyle changes to take control of your life and find joy and peace again, and yes, reduce the frequencies of migraines.

I have a questions for all of your today!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Drop an answer in the comments. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What works for you? What helps you control your stress? What tools work best?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can't wait to hear your answers! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Is healthcare one size fits all? No! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are individuals with different histories, goals, needs, chemistry, relationships, and talents. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We deserve to be treated like it. We deserve tailored, individualized care. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That works with our lives. Not against it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
