These symptoms are something I’ve dealt with in the past, but after doing a lot of hands-on work with clients recently, they flared up again.

I share examples from clinical practice and re...

In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I unpack how something as small as a single tooth can ripple through the entire nervous system and impact everything from movement quality to emotional regulation. You’ll hear my traumatic dental experience that helped me understand how clenching patterns are tied to much more than the jaw. Clenching isn’t just a bad habit, it’s a signal from the brainstem, often tied to unresolved stress, nervous system dysregulation, and patterns we’re no...

In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I get honest about some recent challenging cases and how they’ve affected my confidence and creativity.
