Okay, so you've seen me post about Deep Dance - why is this so important to me?

Nearly 3 years ago, I quietly started DJing in my bedroom - literally, a desk squeezed in the space between my bed and the wall.

It was the tail end of c*vid, I was camped out at my mom's house, freshly out of a relationship that left me raw and lost to who I was in this world.

With my 40th birthday approaching, I took a wild leap and bought a big fancy DJ controller as an act of self-love.

As a kid, I was always drawn to music. I dreamt of writing my own music, expressing myself through singing, and playing instruments. I was the kid who asked for a guitar and a electric keyboard before I was in my double digits.

But I was so paralyzingly shy that I put on my headphones and created girl bands in my sketchbooks, designed outfits, played with hairstyles, and wrote by hand pages and pages of lyrics copied from the inserts in my cassette tapes.

When I was young, I used music to create safe environments for myself in an unpredictable world - and when I was diagnosed with autism in my late 30's, it all started to make sense.

Mixing music became an unexpected and powerful therapeutic tool for me.
I also learned that my "anxiety attacks" were autistic meltdowns, and when I switched HIIT training for dance and flow-type movement, I had spontaneous emotional releases, and my mental health finally felt in my control.

Over the last couple years, as I have spent more time with my body, listening to how it feels when I move certain ways, and where it doesn't want to go and why - I've learned there is so much wisdom held within us, beyond our brain.

In my professional practice as an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner, I see people on a daily basis that have completely disconnected from their physical bodies, and what happens when that relationship with our selves is left untethered for so long..

My vision with coming to the decks was to create spaces where we can start to open the line of communication with our bodies, to feel and work through things we didn't know we were still holding on to, to feel joy and pleasure through our senses, and to finally feel at home in ourselves.

Thank you, @wearedeepdance for such an amazing night. 🤍

A beautiful reminder to let go, open up, connect, laugh, and simply enjoy the moment.

There’s something so powerful about women coming together, encouraging one another, and creating a space where we can just be ourselves—without judgement or comparison.

Tonight reminded me that life isn’t only about what we’re building. It’s also about the moments we allow ourselves to truly live.

Grateful for the energy, the laughter, the connection, and the reminder to dance a little more. ✨

More than 90% of the patients that walk into my office have some kind of back pain.

The base of the spine, known as the sacrum (intentionally very similar to the word 'sacred', because it is) is a primary keystone of the body, and when we don't move, especially movement that involves the pelvis, soft tissue becomes fibrotic, circulation turns into inflammation, fascia thickens, nerves compress, and an area that should be a primary mover becomes locked up. Wow. That's a lot.

When an area that SHOULD move doesn't, something else has to take over. Secondary muscles take the work of primary, we ask too much of joints that only move a little, we lose our ability to shock absorb, and then it hurts to move.

I personally love moving to music, because of the infinite shapes the body makes when we dance freely, allowing the rhythm to take the lead.

Even walking, or simply swaying to rhythm, percussion, a simple beat has a powerful impact on nervous system regulation.

And if you do it with others, the benefits begin to multiply.

Deep Dance has been created because it's something @justine.realized were both seeking. This is powerful medicine, and we can't wait to share it with all of you.
