Not a lot of people know that your face may be telling a story your nervous system has been living for a long time π«
Us RBFers come by it honestly π
When we spend extended periods in fight, flight, freeze, or shutdown, the body can develop patterns of tension and protection. And that can show up in the face, jaw, forehead, eyes, and muscles around the mouth.
Join Dr. Sadie for some facial exercises to help release facial tension and support nervous system regulation. π€
Relaxing the face can be one way of giving your nervous system a different sensory input: youβre safe enough to soften.
From a polyvagal perspective, a more relaxed facial expression can be associated with ventral vagal state; the state connected with social engagement, connection, and a greater sense of safety.
Save this reel to come back to when your face or jaw feels tense! β¨β¨Follow along for more holistic nervous system TIPS π¦

Come learn the power of your body to support this huge life transition of perimenopause & menopause π§‘
How do you practice respect? π§‘π¦
Reciprocity in relationship is a beautiful experience. Iβve been working on my relationship to the land & this has been a true shift for my nervous system π
Feeling the support, nourshiment & aliveness the land offers & really letting it be true in my body π₯Ή
I used to understand respect as an authoritative experience. That one must be over the other.
In reconnection with Anishinaabe teachings, respect is softer & sweeter than that. Itβs going easy on your relatives. Donβt take more than you need, appreciate everything they offer π§‘
The buffalo is the symbol of respect, both for them choosing to go easy on their human relatives by offering their life & for the humans showing deep respect for this gift by not wasting any part of them π¦¬
I just love this teaching π¦

If youβre new here, Iβm Dr. Sadie, an Indigenous wholistic chiropractor based here in The Glebe, Ottawa.
As an Anishinaabe Ojibwe Kwe, I dreamt of The π¦ Effect as a space for people to relearn their innate healing abilities, especiall in community.
Our practitioners are all holistic & understand the impacts of trauma our body may carry. With massage therapy, naturopathic medicine, reflexology & chiropractic, we offer a collaborative care model to improve your health & wellbeing to the best of our abilities π«Άπ½
I love helping people understand their nervous system, how to feel safe in their body & live life as full as possible!
I use gentle, hands-on techniques that helps rewire brain-body awareness & promote healing.
As I do my own work in relearning Indigenous worldviews, I integrate them with the understanding of the science of the body. They can both exist!
Just as we are not physical, mental, emotional & spiritual separated, they are all existing at once, influencing one another π₯°πͺΆ
Hope you come along for the relearning journey π¦
Baamaapii (until we meet again)
