Folks, I could use a little boost if you don't mind. I recently relocated back to #Pasadena after a couple years in the Bay Area, and am working on getting my #ManualTherapy and #Bodywork practice back into a sustainable rhythm. Learn more, ask questions, and please share! Thank you!

I am a manual therapist specializing in Visceral Manipulation, Craniosacral Therapy, and integrative therapeutic massage. I use gentle, targeted, osteopathic techniques to relieve restriction within and around the internal organs, brain, nervous system, and vasculature, restoring healthy movement and function. By assisting the body in working through its internalized responses to physical and emotional trauma, I prioritize the often neglected root causes of chronic injury, illness, structural imbalance, and dysfunction. Sessions incorporate a balance of visceral, cranial, and musculoskeletal work, with the goal of restoring your body’s ability to adapt and heal on its own.

A lot of little old ladies from #Pasadena saying #HandsOff. And young people and old people and people of color and LGBTQ+. So good to be with others who are awake -- yes, proudly woke -- to the #fascism that is happening and determined to fight with all of our might.

I started at Los Robles and walked to Arroyo Parkway where i rested for a while. I think the biggest crowd was near the post office, but the streets were were crowdeded that whole distance.

These were rescaled down to 640x480 and stuck white people colored circles over the faces pointed at me.

#HandsOff #Pasadena was packed on both sides of Colorado. Tons of homemade signs. Chants & honking to support

Good morning from #Pasadena. Rained overnight and very light showers here and there so far. Today, & 15°-18°C (59°-64°F)

Starting the day slowly. Canceled the dog park earlier and will try to walk Moses instead, shortly.

Right now, just finished icing my back and doing my breathing exercises with my Visible app & device. This is much like meditation to me and this is the first time I’m ever able to keep doing it, most days, thanks to the app.

With the accompanying sound/music to make the breathing slow and rhythmic, I lose track of time and before I know it 15 min are over.

I started with 3 min, months ago. Did 10 for months. And just tried 15 last week. I love it! It both relaxes and energizes me!

Good morning from #Pasadena where it’s cool and gloomy. Had a bit of rain earlier, but that seems to be over now.

Moses & I still managed to hit La Crescenta Valley Dog Park early this AM for some serious ball-retrieving, his favorite! Not sure we'll be as lucky tomorrow because it sounds like rain starting overnight.

We go to the dog park Sunday, Monday, Thursday atm. Always La Crescenta. The other days we walk.

Here is one of my neighbour’s bird of paradise flower, in the driveway.

I have had more blooms on my own plants also this year (in the dog area), so I got to examine them closer as they open, both during cold or hot weather. The latter really speeds up the process and really allows the flower to fully bloom, revealing its complete self.

The orange parts are called sepals I believe and the blue darts are a combination petal & stamen which is also a perch for birds.

I used to think there was a single stamen, but it's because it's cool here when flowers open so they don't always open fully. #LiveAndLearn

A Food Network Star Is Building a French Bakery and Wine Bar in Pasadena https://www.diningandcooking.com/1984472/a-food-network-star-is-building-a-french-bakery-and-wine-bar-in-pasadena/ #a #And #Bakery #bar #Building #ComingAttractions #DailyRestaurantNews #eater #food #francais #france #French #FrenchLunch #FrontPage #in #is #la #lunch #Network #Pasadena #RestaurantNewsBusinessFoodIndustry #star #Wine

Good morning fr #Pasadena. Went to #LaCrescentaValleyDogPark again this AM. Last minute decision bc tomorrow Saturday, husband has weight watchers at 7 &I cannot leave Finn alone :(

After only 10 minutes #MosesTheServiceDog was quite tired from the running. Not a lot of other dogs, but he loves the running!

I'm personally really enjoying this new dog park. I'm glad I no longer go to the Pasadena Park; too much upset, disappointment, and other issues there. It's becoming a trigger so I cannot go there for safety reasons… PLUS it's much more social that sometime I find it can become overbearing.

This is a BIG change I've made to avoid meltdowns: changing dog parks. When a situation is out of control (like issues with dog park hours and lack of maintenance), but complaining makes Pasadena employees & management hostile, it's unsafe because of triggers. My complaints are fair and do not deserve hostility.

Triggers can create an unsafe situation for #ActuallyAutistic people due to the high risk of emotional meltdown. And I've found out the hard way in SoCal that most southern Californians, when confronted with an #AutisticMeltdown, resort to aggression and hostility. So it becomes plain dangerous. Californians aren't as relaxed as they claim to be. They are just like New Yorkers except pretending to be chill.

Lots of flowers during our morning walks these days. This is one of the best #Winterias I've seen in a while. In #BungalowHeaven #Pasadena. Very pleasant early walk with cool drizzly skies. The heatwave IS OVER LOL
