ADHESIONS AND BEYOND : with Isabel Spradlin
One of the things that can be most difficult to grapple with when recovering from abdominal distress is the change in how the nervous system acts. Whether you’ve had surgery or not, different kinds of trauma can affect the nervous system in various ways. From digestive changes to neuropathy to new and unexplained pains or … Continue reading …
Call for practitioners! At long last, the abdominal practitioner directory has been built! Now I am putting out the call for practitioners who would like to be listed. For those of you who aren’t familiar, I have been working on putting together a directory of practitioners who work with abdominal adhesions and other forms of … Continue reading …
I think it’s taken me most of the last decade to get good at talking about the power of the hands-on work to help with abdominal distress.

I have been doing some touch-ups to the abdominal site and in the process of thinking about my “messaging,” I looked up the URL loveyourbelly.com.
