Memorable Quotes
“Wherever you enter in in service of that person being more whole and more safe and more balanced in between their nervous system states, you’re going to make progress.”
“I say all the time, it’s not about just getting pregnant. We put on these baby blinders where it’s like, just get a baby by any means necessary, and then we can put together our mental health or our digestion or our relationships.”
“Every single intense feeling and reaction is appropriate based on the conditions. Whether the conditions are a less than ideal microbiome or acute grief or past trauma that’s been living in your nervous system. These are all there for a reason. And the only way that we change those things is by changing conditions.”
