The psoas is one of the deepest muscles in the body. It connects your spine to your legs and is responsible for your very first step... and every step after that. It's deeply tied to your nervous system and your sense of safety, which is why it is considered “the muscle of the soul”.

After 23 plus years of working hands-on with the body, I've come to understand that this is not just a muscle. This is a place where the body holds emotion, experience, and memory. And, not just from this lifetime but from deeper layers we don't always have language for. I have felt this again and again in the esoteric, healing experiences within the thousands of bodies I've worked on.

The body doesn't release just because we tell it to. It releases when it feels safe. It releases when it's met with intention, when it's listened to, and is willing to slow down enough to actually be with it.
