🎂 Happy Birthday J! 🤴🏼 Happy Da’s day H! 14 years ago we brought our baby boy home from the hospital on Father’s Day. You two are without a doubt two of the most phenomenal men I’ve ever met 💕 I am happy and honored to share our lives together as a family. Thank you both. I am also thinking of my amazing Pops, Angelo, and still missing him since ‘98. ☔️ Fullalove 💕

TRANSITIONS are tough for everyone especially our children slow down take time to reflect check yourself before checking them pause to remember their perspective(s) are nothing like ours allow space for them to feel choose words (more) carefully allow for ugly sloppy uncomfortable emotional expression because giant emotions can be overwhelming and no one really understands resist asserting tidy conversational control it squashes self-expression and distorts all sense of connection know that acknowledgement trumps answers every time sense-listen for emotional subtext do your best then be quiet so they can be heard and seen and understood love love love love not war tomorrow’s another day . . . #parenting

🤓MUSCLE MAPPING🤓 Here we see trainees Caroline and Narisara mapping the tibialis anterior using an elasti-muscle. We’ve just completed a weekend of #therollmodel trainings where students learn about fascia, identify bony landmarks, sharpen their teaching skills and learn how to map and demo muscles so that they can teach fun, effective therapy ball self-massage sequences to those in knead. These trainings are a great adjunct Continuing Ed event for pros but everyone is welcome. This weekend one of our dedicated practitioners (a non-teacher) brought her Mom, cane and all, so that she could learn these self-care techniques for herself. Thankfully, we Darcy Bowman was able to work 1-to-1 with her and it provided a fabulous modifications learning opportunity for all of us 😋 Thank you ladies for your unwavering attention, good humor and great questions and a huge thank you to both of our teaching assistants for your invaluable contributions: @nicoleriannon @darcy52 If you go to the Tune Up Fitness website you can find a Roll Model Training or workshop in your area.
