Tomorrow is a pretty big day for me.
A few years ago, I never would have imagined that Stretch Chi would eventually lead me here.
For most of my adult life, my work was about movement. I taught resistance stretching, worked one-on-one with clients, taught workshops, trained other professionals, and spent a lot of time helping people understand their bodies a little better.
Then I got sick…. ME/CFS changed my life in ways I’m still learning to understand. There were long stretches when I couldn’t work the way I used to, and I eventually had to step away from the regular Stretch Chi practice I had spent years building.
One of the hardest things to learn was how to pace myself.
I had to start paying attention to energy in a way I never had before. How much could I actually do? Why could something feel completely fine while I was doing it and still cause a crash later? What were my early warning signs? How could I tell the difference between a day when I had a little more capacity and a day when adrenaline was simply letting me borrow energy I didn’t really have?
Over time I started putting those pieces together, and eventually I realized I had created the beginnings of something I wished someone had handed me when I first became sick.
That became Breaking the Push/Crash Cycle.
It’s a self-paced 30-lesson course for people living with ME/CFS, Long COVID, POTS, MCAS, fibromyalgia, and related fatigue-limiting illnesses. It teaches practical pacing, helps people identify their own patterns and limits, and guides them through creating a personalized pacing journal they can continue using long after the course ends.
Tomorrow it officially launches, but you’ve all been with me along the way - so I’m giving you early access.
I’m proud of this one. It came out of a very difficult chapter of my life, but it also feels like a continuation of what Stretch Chi has always been about for me: paying attention to your body, understanding what it is telling you, and using that information to make better decisions about what comes next.

The course is $149 with lifetime access.
And for those of you who originally knew me through Stretch Chi, resistance stretching hasn’t disappeared. I still love that work, and I hope there will be more of it again. Stretch Chi is simply becoming a little bigger than it used to be.
