In a world that often prizes conformity over authenticity, Brave Bitch stands for something different. My unique methodology is a celebration of diverse ways of thinking, unconventional perspectives, and the incredible power of intuition. At its core, Brave Bitch is a safe haven for those who have been misunderstood, dismissed, or overlooked—especially by traditional healthcare systems.
For neurodivergent individuals and anyone who has felt out of place in mainstream wellness practices, this space is for you. Here, your truth is honored, your intuition is respected, and your unique health odyssey is embraced. But what truly sets Brave Bitch apart is the holistic approach I bring to the table through the Four Domains of Health: Biochemistry, Biomechanics, Scar Tissue Remediation, and Emotional Health through Autonomic Nervous System Regulation.
Breaking Away from Conventional Healthcare
Traditional healthcare treatments often focus on specific, isolated areas of health, like biomechanics (how your body moves) or biochemistry (how your body processes nutrients and hormones). These are undeniably important, but they tell only part of the story. By limiting assessments to these two domains, many practitioners overlook critical factors that are essential to achieving full-body wellness.
I’m a Brave Bitch , I do things differently.
I believe in treating the whole person. This means looking beyond the physical symptoms to understand the deeper, often hidden imbalances in your body and mind. Where conventional approaches stop short, I integrate the Four Domains of Health to create a full-spectrum approach to wellness.
This holistic framework is especially critical for those who have been dismissed or misdiagnosed by the traditional medical world, such as neurodivergent individuals, or those with chronic, unresolved issues.
The Four Domains of Health: What Sets Brave Bitch Apart
Here’s how my approach differs from conventional healthcare:
1. Biochemistry: Going Beyond Surface-Level Assessments
Conventional healthcare often relies heavily on biochemical tests—blood work, hormone panels, or metabolic profiles—to diagnose and treat conditions. While this data is helpful, it is a limited collection of data taken at a snapshot in time. The body is dynamic, so laboratory findings can never truly tell the entire story of you. Traditional treatments can focus narrowly on “correcting” levels of things like blood sugar or cholesterol, without considering why these imbalances occurred in the first place.
Brave Bitch methodology goes deeper. I don’t just look at the numbers—I explore why your body’s biochemistry might be out of balance. Is it stress, trauma, or chronic inflammation? Are emotional factors or lifestyle choices playing a role? My approach is about understanding how your biochemistry interacts with the rest of your body and your life. Together, we craft a plan that addresses these root causes rather than just treating symptoms.
2. Biomechanics: Personalized Movement, Not a One-Size-Fits-All Approach
Biomechanics is crucial—how your body moves affects everything from your energy levels to your mental clarity. But here’s the thing: traditional healthcare often applies a rigid, one-size-fits-all model to movement. You may be prescribed specific exercises or physical therapy protocols that don’t take into account the nuances of your body.
Brave Bitch methodology reimagines how we approach movement. Instead of forcing you into a standardized routine, I work with you to explore how your body wants to move. Maybe neurodivergent sensitivities make certain exercises uncomfortable, or perhaps chronic pain requires a gentler approach. By honoring the unique biomechanics of your body, we create a movement plan that feels right for you—one that empowers you to heal and thrive without burnout or frustration.
3. Scar Tissue Remediation: Healing the Deeper Wounds
Scar tissue—both physical and emotional—is often ignored in conventional treatments. When it is addressed, healthcare providers tend to focus on the superficial. Physical scars from surgeries or injuries are seen as simply cosmetic or a structural issue, while emotional scars are rarely even considered.
But scar tissue can restrict movement, cause pain, and interfere with your body’s natural healing processes. And emotional scars—whether from trauma, chronic stress, or unresolved grief—can have a profound impact on your overall health.
A Brave Bitch understands that scars run deep, and I take a holistic approach to scar tissue remediation. Through a blend of manual therapy and emotional release techniques, we work to heal not just the surface-level scarring but the deeper, internal restrictions that may be holding you back. Whether you’ve had a surgery that left physical scars or an emotional trauma that created invisible wounds, we work together to free you from the pain and limitations those scars may cause.
4. Emotional Health and Autonomic Nervous System Regulation: The Overlooked Key to Wellness
One of the most significant gaps in traditional healthcare is the neglect of emotional health. Mental well-being is often treated as a separate issue, and many healthcare providers fail to see how deeply emotional health impacts the body. Moreover, few focus on the autonomic nervous system (ANS)—the part of your body that regulates stress, relaxation, and the “fight or flight” response.
Brave Bitch Methodology places emotional health front and center. I place special emphasis on regulating the ANS, which is crucial for those who have experienced trauma, chronic stress, or emotional burnout. This aspect of my practice is particularly important for neurodivergent individuals, who may experience heightened sensitivities to stress and overwhelm.
Using techniques like Beth Dennison’s Body Up Coregulation (BCR) exercises, attuned storytelling, therapeutic oils, and Abdominal Core Power exercises work together to bring your ANS back into balance. When your nervous system is regulated, your body has the space it needs to heal—both physically and emotionally. This approach recognizes that healing isn’t just about physical symptoms; it’s about creating a safe internal environment where your body and mind can thrive.
Holistic Health: More Than Just Physical
What sets Brave Bitch Health and Wellness apart is the way we bring all these elements together. While conventional healthcare often focuses narrowly on either biomechanics or biochemistry, we look at how all four domains—Biochemistry, Biomechanics, Scar Tissue Remediation, and Emotional Health—interact to affect your overall well-being.
This holistic approach is especially powerful for those who have felt dismissed or misunderstood by the healthcare system. Neurodivergent individuals, those living with chronic illness, and anyone seeking a more intuitive and personalized approach to health will find the support they need here.
Your body isn’t just a set of moving parts. It’s a complex, interconnected system. Your health isn’t just about what you eat or how you move—it’s about the scars you carry, the stress you carry, and the ways your body, mind, and soul work together.
