Kids need deep rest in order to thrive

Red Light Therapy
Soft red and near-infrared light helps the body produce more energy on a cellular level.
For kids, this can mean:
• Calmer moods and more emotional balance
• Better sleep and relaxation
• Less inflammation and body tension
• More steady focus and attention

PEMF Therapy
Pulsed electromagnetic fields gently “recharge” the cells and help the brain and body communicate more efficiently.
Many parents notice:
• A calmer, more regulated nervous system
• Reduced stress and restlessness
• Improved focus and sensory processing
• More resilience during transitions or big emotions

Both therapies together help kids feel safe, relaxed, and supported, naturally encouraging the body to find its own balance. Sessions are short, cozy, and designed to meet each child where they are.

Back soon!
Coalesce Wellness will have limited hours from October 14–28 as we pause to prepare for a beautiful new season of care.

✨ Members receive priority scheduling during this time, and all memberships will be rolled over to ensure you don’t miss any of your sessions or benefits.

Thank you for your patience and continued support, we can’t wait to see you when we return.

When someone experiences hurt, betrayal, or fear, the body often instinctively curls inward: shoulders round forward, arms cross, the chest caves in. This is the body’s way of shielding the heart space. In somatic terms, the heart center holds both physical vulnerability, since the heart and lungs are vital organs and emotional vulnerability, as we associate this area with love, openness, and connection.

When the body moves into that protective posture, it doesn’t only shield the heart, it also conceals the chest and makes the whole body appear smaller.

On a deep level, this can feel like hiding sexuality, nurturing capacity, or femininity parts of the self that may feel too vulnerable, exposed, or unsafe in moments of emotional trauma.

Curling inward compresses the torso, collapses the lungs, and tucks the head. This physically makes the body look smaller, less noticeable, almost as if saying, If I shrink, I won’t be hurt or seen. It’s an instinctive survival mechanism rooted in our nervous system similar to how animals make themselves small or curl up when threatened.

People in emotional pain often dim their energy, reduce eye contact, and quiet their voice to avoid drawing attention. The body posture reinforces that inner withdrawal.

Healing often involves gently reopening, lifting the chest, softening the shoulders, and allowing breath into the heart space so that protection doesn’t become a prison.

I let go of what I thought was security and instead found peace & abundance

I used to be depressed, overworked, and overstressed. I thought I had to keep pushing, striving, and forcing my way forward. But the more I tried to control everything, the more I ran into roadblocks.

Then I let go. I took the plunge into trust, releasing what I thought I wanted, and allowing space for what I truly needed.

What I put down on paper has since unfolded in ways I couldn’t have imagined. By surrendering, I aligned with myself. By releasing, I received.

Now I don’t worry, I live in flow, and I’m standing in position to welcome the best version of me.

🐚 Sometimes the leap isn’t about chasing more, it’s about letting go and falling back into yourself.

Journaling prompt: What version of you are you ready to step into now and what do you need to release today to receive it?

When there isn’t enough flow at C1–C2, pause gateway, it can throw off the whole body.

This spot at the top of your neck is the main gateway between your brain and the rest of you, so when it’s blocked, things don’t move the way they should.

CSF, nourish your brain and spine but can get stuck, leaving you feeling foggy, heavy, or tense. Nerves and muscles in the area often tighten up, which can cause headaches, stiff neck, or even dizziness.

Because this area also affects the vagus nerve, it can mess with digestion, sleep, and your ability to relax, leaving you stuck in go, go, go mode.

Restoring flow here often brings a deep sense of calm, clearer thinking, and more energy in the whole body.

The freeze response is one of our nervous system’s survival strategies (alongside fight, flight, and fawn). It happens when the brain detects a perceived threat, sometimes not even consciously, and decides that doing nothing is the safest option.

Why Small Stuff Triggers FreezeCumulative Stress: The little things (emails piling up, missed calls, small conflicts) can add up. The nervous system doesn’t always distinguish between a saber-tooth tiger and an overdue bill, it just reads danger.

Overwhelm: Each tiny trigger adds a layer, until the brain feels overloaded and shuts down forward action.

Learned Patterns: If we’ve historically felt powerless or unsupported when facing problems, even minor stressors can reactivate that imprint, making freeze feel like the only option.

Body’s Protection: Freeze numbs sensation and slows us down, it’s the body’s way of saying, Let’s not move until it feels safe.

How This Inhibits Moving Forward
Paralysis of choice: You can’t decide what to do next, even for simple tasks.

Self-doubt loop: You start judging yourself for doing nothing, which deepens the freeze.

Missed opportunities: Momentum is lost, and opportunities pass by because action stalls.

How to Reframe

Reframing isn’t pretending things are fine, it’s shifting perspective so the brain feels safe enough to act.

Name It: I’m not lazy, I’m in a freeze response. My body thinks it’s protecting me.

Break It Down: Instead of I need to do everything, reframe to What’s the one tiny next step?

Shift the Scale: Reframe the trigger: a messy inbox isn’t a threat, it’s a list of choices.

Compassion Lens: Instead of I failed again, reframe to My system is signaling overload, I can care for it.

Why Reframing is Important

Regains Power: When you reframe, you step out of helplessness and into choice.
Calms the Nervous System: A different perspective can downshift stress chemicals and make the body feel safe to move.

Builds Resilience: Each time you reframe, you teach your brain that small stressors are manageable, reducing future freeze.
Restores Flow: Momentum returns once the system feels safety and possibility instead of threat.

One of my sweet clients brings me purslane from the farmer’s market. For breakfast or lunch I love to make seed bread toast with guac, sprinkled with purslane, and an egg on top.

Here’s why I love Purslane
1. Rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids
• One of the best plant sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3.
• Good for heart health, reduces inflammation, and may help with brain function.

2. High in Antioxidants
• Contains vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, glutathione, and melatonin.
• Helps fight oxidative stress and may protect against chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease.

3. Loaded with Nutrients
• Excellent source of:
• Vitamin A – supports eye health and immunity.
• Vitamin C – boosts immunity and skin health.
• Magnesium, calcium, potassium, and iron – essential minerals for muscle, bone, and overall health.

4. Anti-Inflammatory Properties
• Contains omega-3s and bioactive compounds that reduce inflammation in the body.
• May help with conditions like arthritis, asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease.

5. Supports Digestive Health
• High in mucilage, a gel-like substance that can soothe the digestive tract.
• Mild laxative effects can help with constipation.

6. Low in Calories but Nutrient Dense
• Ideal for weight management or nutrient-rich diets.
• Can be eaten raw or cooked, adding variety to low-calorie meals.

7. Antibacterial and Antifungal Effects
• Traditional medicine uses purslane to treat infections.
• Modern studies show potential antimicrobial activity.

8. Blood Sugar Regulation
• Some studies suggest purslane may help lower blood sugar levels, beneficial for type 2 diabetes.

Recharge. Realign. Renew. ✨
Our Chakra Mat brings together 7 powerful therapies in one healing experience:

🌈 Chakra Balancing + 7 Color Lights → restore harmony in mind, body & spirit
💎 Hot Gemstone Therapy → soothe muscles & melt away tension

💡 Photon Light Therapy → brighten skin & support recovery

Breaking free from your trauma identity hurts…bad. You’re peeling off layers that once kept you safe but now keep you stuck. It feels raw, confusing, even scary… like losing a part of yourself.

But here’s the truth: that pain isn’t you falling apart, it’s you breaking through. Every ache, every tear, every shaky step is proof you’re stepping into your real self, the one who’s free, whole, and finally ready to thrive. 🌊

Being still and connecting with yourself is healing because it allows your body and mind to shift out of constant “doing” and into a state of “being.”

When you pause, you create space for your nervous system to calm, which lowers stress hormones and signals safety to the body.

In stillness, you can actually hear your own inner voice more clearly, separating your authentic needs and feelings from outside noise. This self-connection brings awareness to what your body is holding, whether it’s tension, unprocessed emotions, or fatigue, and gives it permission to release.

It’s in that quiet, reflective space that the body activates its natural healing processes, restores balance, and helps you reconnect to your inner wisdom, reminding you that peace and wholeness already exist within.

Birth, even in the best circumstances, is a physically intense experience. Newborns can carry tension from their journey through the birth canal, C-sections, or interventions. Spinal Flow gently supports their tiny systems to unwind and thrive.

Key benefits include:
• Eases Birth Stress: Releases tension from the spine and fascia after labor and delivery.
• Supports Feeding & Digestion: Helps with latching, colic, reflux, and constipation by improving nervous system flow to the gut.
• Improves Sleep: Calms the parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) system for deeper, more restorative sleep.
• Boosts Immunity: Strengthens resilience by supporting communication between the brain and immune system.
• Encourages Optimal Development: Promotes free movement, balanced muscle tone, and healthy milestones like crawling and walking.
• Emotional Regulation: Helps soothe fussy babies by calming the nervous system and reducing overstimulation.

Spinal Flow during pregnancy can be especially powerful in preparing the body for labor, and it has a direct influence on the sacroiliac (SI) joint, which often becomes tight, unstable, or painful as the pelvis adapts for birth. Here are the main benefits:

Benefits of Spinal Flow for Pregnancy & Labor

1. SI Joint Release & Pelvic Balance
• Gently unwinds tension and misalignments in the SI joint, allowing the pelvis to become more balanced and mobile.
• Creates more space for the baby to engage and descend optimally during labor.

2. Reduced Pain & Pressure
• Releases strain around the lower back, hips, and SI joint caused by hormonal changes (like relaxin) and shifting weight.
• Helps reduce sciatica, pubic symphysis discomfort, and tailbone pain.

3. Improves Nervous System Flow
• Clears blockages in the spine so the nervous system can better communicate with the uterus and pelvic floor muscles.
• Supports more efficient contractions and smoother labor progression.

4. Encourages Optimal Baby Positioning
• A balanced pelvis allows the baby to rotate and settle into an ideal position for birth.
• Reduces chances of malposition (like posterior or breech presentations) that can slow labor or increase interventions.

5. Enhances Labor Ease & Efficiency
• Improves range of motion in the pelvis and hips, making squatting, lunging, and upright birthing positions easier.
• A free SI joint means the sacrum can move back during birth, giving the baby more space to pass through.

6. Emotional & Nervous System Regulation
• Pregnancy often brings stress and overwhelm; spinal flow calms the nervous system, helping the mother feel grounded and safe.
• Reduces tension patterns that might unconsciously restrict the pelvis or prolong labor.

7. Supports Postpartum Recovery
• By keeping the SI joint and spine balanced before labor, postpartum healing is smoother with less chance of lingering pelvic instability or back pain.

I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to my clients for allowing me the space to mother without judgment. I brought my son to work with me, and we had a beautiful day bonding, going to the park, and sharing lunch together @cafe_urbano_chicago .
As a little reward, he received a Spinal Flow session, after which he said, “Mom, there’s something in my ears!”
This is actually a common experience during spinal and cranial work. Gentle shifts in the cranial bones, cervical spine, or alignment around the Eustachian tubes can lead to sensations or sounds in the ears and jaw. When tension releases or pressure balances, it’s not unusual to hear popping, feel fullness, or notice a sense of clearing in those areas. The body is incredibly interconnected, and children especially are sensitive to these subtle changes.
Thank you again for supporting not just my work, but my whole self.

Getting Off the Table After Spinal Flow

After your Spinal Flow session, give your body time to integrate the shifts.

Before you hop up and back into the world, pause for a moment and…

Take 2–3 deep, conscious breaths

Wiggle your fingers and toes

Gently roll to your side
Rest here for a few moments - allow your body to catch up with your soul

Notice what feels different - physically, emotionally, energetically

Then slowly bring yourself to a seated position. Let your nervous system know it’s safe to move forward with ease and grace.

This moment of stillness is just as powerful as the session itself. Honor it.

Had way too much fun celebrating World Breastfeeding Week with the real heroes of the world: mothers, birth workers, & the future generations which we hope to inspire.

Celebrate World Breastfeeding week with us!
With my first, I struggled hard and didn’t have the support I needed. I felt lost, overwhelmed, and full of doubt. Finally, on baby #4, I learned to master breastfeeding, thanks to real, compassionate lactation support.

This journey wasn’t easy. I breastfed while running a business, chasing my 3 other little ones around, and holding it all together on fumes. But I made it through and I’m proud.

Breastfeeding is powerful, but it’s also hard. It takes a village. And support changes everything.

In honor of #WorldBreastfeedingWeek, I’m celebrating:
✨ The emotional bond it builds between mama and baby
✨ The immune-boosting, nutrient-rich magic of breastmilk
✨ The freedom, simplicity, and cost savings it brings

To every mama who’s struggling: I see you. Keep going. Get support. You are not alone. 💛

#WorldBreastfeedingWeek2025 #BreastfeedingIsHard #LactationSupportMatters #BreastfeedingMama #MomLife #EmpoweredMotherhood

I’ve never waited to feel ready.
If I did, I’d never move.
I just do. I leap, I build, I try.
I hope for the best, and if I fall, I trust I’ll land closer to where I’m meant to be & further from the starting line, and a little wiser.

I move with instinct. I do what feels aligned, necessary, and good. Not only for me, but for the people around me.
I figure things out as I go, learning through action, not overthinking.
And when I’m tired, I rest, not quit, so I can keep doing what I’m here to do.

If someone questions what I’m doing, I’m happy to answer, & I keep going.
Because doing is how I become.

six powerful signs you might benefit from Somatic Mind-Body Healing:

1. You’re constantly in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn mode
You may feel anxious, overwhelmed, hyper-independent, or emotionally shut down. Your body is stuck in survival mode, even when life seems “fine.”

2. You feel disconnected from your body
You struggle to feel grounded, ignore your body’s signals, or avoid physical sensations. You may say things like “I live in my head” or “I just push through.”

3. You’ve experienced trauma or loss that still lives in your body
Whether it’s a breakup, childhood trauma, loss, or grief, you sense the pain hasn’t fully left, and talk therapy hasn’t released it.

4. You know what to do, but can’t seem to do it
You’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, gone to therapy, but your body still reacts with fear, self-sabotage, or shutdown when you try to grow or change.

5. You experience chronic stress, tension, or fatigue
Headaches, tight shoulders, gut issues, insomnia… your nervous system is overworked, and your body is sounding the alarm.

6. You feel unsafe being seen, taking up space, or standing alone
You crave connection and purpose—but fear rejection, abandonment, or failure. You may feel like you can’t do life alone.

If any of these resonate, your body may be asking for a new kind of healing.
Somatic work helps you feel safe, grounded, and at home in yourself, so you can finally thrive, not just survive.

Appreciate this beautiful soul leaving such a kind testimonial. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I’m deeply honored to have supported you during such a tender time. It means a lot to hear that the treatment brought you peace, rest, and a sense of renewal. The body holds so much, especially in times of grief, and allowing it space to reset can be profoundly healing. I’m grateful the music and energy resonated with you. Holding you in continued care as you navigate your healing journey. 💛

The body knows.
Long before we ever “tried” to heal, it was already doing the work.

Your heart has been beating since before you knew what rhythm was.
Your lungs rise and fall without a to-do list.
Your stomach digests, your wounds close, your cells renew all without your effort.
Even birth unfolds from an ancient intelligence that asks us to surrender more than it asks us to strive.

Healing is no different.

You don’t have to force it.
You don’t have to earn it.
You don’t have to micromanage every moment of it.

You just have to allow it.
To trust that your body remembers how to come home to balance
when given space, softness, and safety.

So exhale.
There is nothing more to “do.”
Just listen.
Just allow.
Just be.

Your body’s already working on your behalf.

“Colic” Isn’t Just Crying
It’s a Call for Help From the Nervous System
If your baby cries for hours on end and nothing seems to soothe them, you might have heard: “It’s just colic. They’ll grow out of it.”
But what if that crying isn’t “just colic”?

What’s Really Going On?
Many babies labeled with colic are actually experiencing: ✔️ Birth stress or trauma ✔️ Overwhelm in the nervous system ✔️ Unintegrated reflexes ✔️ Tension in the spine or cranial system ✔️ Digestive discomfort linked to nerve interference

When the spine and nervous system are under stress, the baby can’t fully relax, feed efficiently, digest properly, or sleep soundly, which leads to crying as their only way to say, “Something doesn’t feel right.”

Spinal Flow is a gentle, hands-on technique that: 🌊 Helps the brain and body reconnect by releasing stored stress 🌊 Supports the parasympathetic (rest & digest) nervous system 🌊 Unlocks spinal blockages that can interfere with digestion, sleep, and feeding 🌊 Encourages natural healing and deep relaxation
Instead of “fixing” a symptom, Spinal Flow works with the body’s intelligence to help your baby regulate, thrive, and feel safe in their body again.

Parents often report: ✔️ Less crying and fussiness ✔️ Better sleep patterns ✔️ Improved feeding and digestion ✔️ A calmer, more connected baby 💕

Colic may be common, but it’s not something you have to just “wait out.”

If you’ve tried everything and your intuition tells you something’s still off, Spinal Flow might be the gentle support your baby’s nervous system has been asking for.

When Energy Doesn’t Flow… the Body Speaks.
Fatigue. Tension. Anxiety. Brain fog. Digestive issues. Chronic pain.
These aren’t just random symptoms
They’re signs that your body’s energy isn’t flowing freely.

At Coalesce Wellness, we don’t chase symptoms.
We listen.
We gently clear the blockages stored in your spine, nervous system, and fascia so your body can return to doing what it already knows how to do: heal.

Your body was designed to repair, rebalance, and restore itself.
But it needs flow.
It needs safety.
It needs space.

Through intentional bodywork, nervous system regulation, and heart-led care, we reconnect you to your natural healing rhythm, one session at a time.

Healing begins when flow returns.
Let your body do what it was born to do.

#EnergyFlow #SelfHealing #SpinalFlow #CoalesceWellness #NervousSystemHealth #NaturalHealing #HolisticCare #RootCauseHealing

Your body is not random. It’s remembering.

The way your shoulders tense when someone raises their voice…
The way your hips lock up when you’re overwhelmed…
The way you clench your jaw through the day without realizing…

✨ It’s not just poor posture.
✨ It’s not just stress.
It’s your story, held in fascia, breath, and spine.

Your body keeps the score.
Every experience, trauma, belief, and survival pattern shapes the way you hold yourself today.

That’s why healing isn’t just about stretching more or fixing alignment.
It’s about reconnecting with the why.
Why does your nervous system still think it’s not safe to relax?
Why do you feel disconnected, even after following all the wellness advice?

You are not a protocol.
You are a unique body with a unique story and your posture, pain, and patterns reflect that.

When we work together, we don’t just “correct” the body…
We listen to it. We honor its history. We meet its real needs.
And that’s where true healing begins.

#TheBodyKeepsTheScore #SomaticHealing #BodyLedWellness #SpinalFlow #CoalesceWellness #NervousSystemHealing

At Coalesce Wellness, we believe a nurtured mother nurtures a thriving baby.

Our bodywork practices are designed to create a safe, calm, and connected space for both mother and baby.

Regulating the Nervous System
We use gentle, non-invasive techniques like Spinal Flow and fascial release to calm the nervous system, shift the body out of stress, and support deep rest, repair, and connection. When mom is regulated, her baby feels it too.

Releasing Tension and Emotional Blocks
Pregnancy and early motherhood can store emotional, physical, and generational tension in the body. Our work focuses on clearing these blockages, so energy, breath, and life can flow freely again, supporting a healthy pregnancy, easier birth, and emotional resilience.

Enhancing Connection
Through intentional touch, breath, and nervous system support, our sessions foster greater attunement between mother and baby. We help moms feel more embodied, grounded, and connected to their inner wisdom and to the little life growing within or resting in their arms.

Supporting Natural Development
Babies and children also receive gentle bodywork that helps align their developing nervous systems, improves digestion and sleep, and lays the foundation for lifelong health.

Coalesce means the healing and harmonizing of mom and baby, body and spirit, through intentional care.

Spinal Flow and healing bodywork create a path to reclaim wellness, safety, and power.

Break cycles, reclaim your birthright to wholeness, and thrive beyond survival 🌊

When you get the call as a doula that a mother is in labor, it’s more than a job, it’s a sacred invitation into one of life’s most powerful moments. It’s a labor of love in every sense.

#pregnancy #calmbirth #labor #doula #doulasupport #pregnancyjourney #grwm

Spinal Flow during pregnancy gently helps your body shift from sympathetic (fight or flight) to parasympathetic (rest, digest, and grow) the state where healing, baby development, and calm actually thrive.

✔️ Deeper connection to baby
✔️ Reduced aches, tension, and overwhelm

Chicago’s air quality was just ranked one of the worst in the world due to smoke from Canadian wildfires.

This isn’t just an inconvenience, it’s chemical stress on your body.

When your lungs work overtime, your diaphragm tightens. This creates blockages in your Centre Gateway, affecting breath, digestion, and nervous system balance.

Spinal Flow can help release this tension, restore optimal flow, and support your body in processing chemical stress.

If you’ve been feeling more fatigued, anxious, or tight lately this could be why. Let’s open your breath pathways and bring your body back to ease.

This Mother’s Day, give the gift of deep healing and embodied love to yourself or a mother you cherish.

Our Mother’s Day Gift Certificates are designed specifically for mothers and mothers-to-be, offering three powerful modalities:

1. Spinal Flow Technique
Gently restores the body’s natural healing intelligence by releasing stress and spinal blockages that build up during pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. It supports your nervous system, relieves pain, and creates a sense of calm and safety in your body.

2. Somatic Healing
Releases stored emotional tension and trauma from the body. Mothers often carry invisible weight: from birth experiences, identity shifts, and generational patterns. This process helps you feel seen, grounded, and reconnected with your inner strength.

3. Fascia Release
Targets restrictions in the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs to reduce pain, improve circulation, and support alignment. During and after pregnancy, fascia can tighten and restrict movement; this work restores flow, flexibility, and body confidence.

Myofascial Release for Glutes, Sit Bones, Thighs, Groin & SI Joints:
Glutes: Boosts hip mobility, reduces low back pain, and improves posture

Sit Bones: Relieves hamstring tension and pelvic floor tightness for better sitting comfort

Back of Thighs: Lengthens tight hamstrings, improves flexibility, and eases sciatic pain

Groin: Releases deep pelvic tension, improves hip stability, and supports core strength

SI Joints: Restores pelvic balance, reduces joint pain, and improves movement efficiency.

Overall: Frees up tension, improves alignment, relieves pain, and supports better body flow. 🌊

Spinal Flow for Accident Recovery
Core Focus: Releasing Shock, Reconnecting the Nervous System, Restoring Flow

Bodily tissues are dense, spine has visible curves, posture is misaligned.

Your body creates holding patterns as a way to protect you: physically, emotionally, and energetically.
They’re like your nervous system’s survival strategy, stored in your spine.

Prolonged effects can result in chronic pain, limited range of motion, emotional impact, & poor circulation.

Feeling tight, tense, or just off in your body?

Fascial release might be what you’re missing.

Your fascia is a web of connective tissue that surrounds muscles, organs, and joints
when it gets stuck or restricted, you feel it as pain, stiffness, or imbalance.

🐚 Here’s how fascia release can help:
Eases chronic tension + pain
Improves mobility and flexibility
Supports emotional release + relaxation
Boosts circulation + body awareness
Preps your body for pregnancy, birth, and recovery

What’s involved in a session?
Gentle, hands-on techniques that work with your body (not against it)

No cracking, no forcing.
Just intuitive, intentional touch designed to free up your body’s natural flow 🌊

It’s subtle but powerful
Your body will thank you

On this World Doula Day, I celebrate the power of creation, transformation, and new beginnings.

Being a doula means everything to me-holding space for mothers as they bring life into the world is an honor beyond words. Just as the seasons shift in perfect rhythm, so does birth in the sacred journey of strength, surrender, and renewal. Grateful to walk beside each mother, witnessing the miracle of birth unfold. ✨ #WorldDoulaDay #Equinox #ThePowerOfBirth #doulalife

What’s been getting on your nerves lately? 🧠💥 Our past trauma and stress can get stored in the body over time, creating blockages that build up and lead to physical and emotional distress.

But here’s the good news: spinal care can help restore balance, release tension, and allow your body to heal. ✨

Take a deep breath, and let your spine do the work to help you find peace again. #SelfCare #HealingJourney #SpinalHealth #ReleaseTheStress
