I wish you could see you the way I see you.

Truly.

You didn't get here by accident and you sure as heck didn't get here by chance. You worked hard AF to get where you are.

SO PLEASE stop downplaying your power, your education and WHO YOU ARE FOR PEOPLE.

They don't keep coming back if you suck. Do they???

I love you. SHINE YOUR EFFING LIGHT.

That is all. XOXO

Why care about the cerebellum?

1. It helps coordinate movement!
If movement looks shaky, jerky, sloppy, tremory, or inconsistent, the cerebellum should be on your radar.
It helps with timing and helps determine when muscles turn on and off.
2. It helps reduce movement error.
Every rep is a prediction.
3. The cerebellum constantly compares "what I thought would happen" to "what actually happened" and updates the plan.

Easy cerebellum drills to test:

Finger taps
Thumb to index finger, middle finger, ring finger, pinky. Then reverse the order 5-10X each hand

Why I like it:

easy to teach
easy to regress/progress
quickly exposes coordination differences side-to-side

Heel-to-shin drag
Slide one heel down from the opposite knee, down the opposite shin and glide across big toe while lying down, seated, or standing.

Why I like it:

cerebellum classic
coordination + accuracy
very low threat

Alternating toe taps
Tap right toe, left toe, right toe, left toe to a steady rhythm (use a metronome for more FUN)

Then *change* the rhythm.

Why I like it:

simple
rhythm-based
gets at timing, which is a huge cerebellar job

Which one will you try ASAP??? 1, 2or 3??

I'm not saying the tongue is probably going to get you the best results ever...but I am also not saying that LOL

5 cranial nerves innervate the tongue. That is kind of a lot, yes or YES?
It's the most mobile muscle in the body (you knew that).
It has more brain map real estate than muscles twice its size (you might not have known that).
And most of us? Completely untrained (which isn't bad or wrong it just IS).
Now may I present to you... "Around the Worlds" = one of the simplest, weirdest, most effective drills.
Try it for the reasons I mentioned in the video and let me know what happens!
Drop me 👅 if you like how weird this is.

SAVE!

This won't be the easiest thing you ever teach but man ohhh man does it get results!

Which one are you starting with ASAP?

- also don't worry I am no longer pregnant but some videos are just too good!

Are your clients dealing with persistent jaw pain?
Or maybe they’re grinding their teeth and feeling numbness in their face?

Follow the neuroanatomy of this nerve and see what else you can come up with!

It’s easy to blame stress or assume it’s just “how they are,” but the real culprit might be the trigeminal nerve—the largest cranial nerve responsible for facial sensation. When this nerve gets irritated, it can trigger TMJ pain, jaw tension, and numbness.

👉 Save this post for your client toolbox and share it with fellow pros who work with clients suffering from these symptoms. This could be a game changer in your approach for jaw issues!

Think of the trigeminal nerve as the main highway for messages between the brain and face. If there's a "traffic jam" on this highway, it results in pain, grinding, and tension—issues that go beyond surface-level stress. Your role as a movement professional is to help clear that jam and restore the natural flow.

Believe it or not, the better cranial nerves function, the better movement the will have, leading to happier them and happier YOU :)

Feet often get overlooked, but have you tried foot waves?!

We all teach ankle circles (I hope LOL), but foot waves are a big "bang for buck" move. They might get your clients some cramps, but the benefits are worth it!
Mechanoreceptors are jsut waiting for you with this exercise!!

Try this:
👉 Dorsiflex ➡️ toe extend ➡️ plantarflex with toes up ➡️ point toes ➡️ articulate ankle up, then reverse.

Once you try this on yourself, teach it to clients and assess/reassess something that doesn't seem related to the feet at all and then comment here "THANK YOU!" when you reap the benefits LOL!!!
