MBTI: INFP

Sun sign: Pisces

I have always been talented at hiding anxiety and pain. Having persevered over my personal struggles with chronic pain, anxiety, and depression I have become learned. Since then a passion has been ignited in me to study the bodymind connection and it's ability to re-organize and heal.

I have always sought help for my musculoskeletal pains sustained from multiple different injuries from my teenage years to young adult life. I have always had anxiety and depressive tendencies, and amongst the physical pain so dominant, I teetered amongst anti-depressants or anti-anxiety medication and a resistance of them, being aware of potential undesired side effects. I have gotten to know many kinds of conventional, alternative therapies and treatments.

Since discovering Yin Yoga I stopped teetering. A regular practice of Yin Yoga not only relieved my pain substantially, but also calmed my nervous system, and my mind. I had to know what was happening in my body that was facilitating such remarkable change. Change not only in the structure of my body, but also resulting in more mental clarity and emotional stability. That is when I discovered homeostasis, balance and the Fascia and Connective Tissue. I realized that this highly underrated, amazing system is what was making this transformation possible. I researched and delved into a dedicated experiential practice.
