Your guide to everything under the moon, the Amber Moon, as of 8/28/23.
The mountains were calling.
I had to go.
And it was oh so good.
Four days in Montana/Wyoming, visiting Yellowstone & the surrounding area. You’ll be seeing the pics as covers for these updates for a good while. Yeah, it was fabulous.
My right knee has come a long way, and I can tell I’ve not been walking for exercise. That leg was protesting a little just cuz it’s not a movement it’s used to. I’ve not been walking because of the LEFT knee. I kinesiotaped it the first day. That didn’t work. Used a knee strap below AND above the knee cap on day 2, and that was better. Still had to mind how much I did.
But being outdoors… that filled my tank up. Being outdoors in the mountains, that filled my soul. I’m looking forward to our cooler temps here in TX so I can be out more. And now I get to re-adapt to the heat. Doh.
Texas Mamma Jamma update
We did it! YOU did it! I’m officially over the $350 in donations mark.
THANK YOU THANK YOUTHANK YOU.
Now to get back to riding after a week in the cool temps… I’m up for the challenge! And my knee is greatly appreciating not walking/hiking. I missed my bikes.
Cross country is still in progress, so let me know if you’re looking for something please. I don’t have any openings at the moment for the immediate future. That said….
last minute openings happen – keep checking in or ask please!

Starting January 5, I’ll be in every other week. Sessions for these dates will be available schedule while I’m recovering with bionic knee #2 (Oct 30-Nov 10).
It’s been a week. Last week, I mean. Universe just kept throwing stuff at me. I had to take more downtime than usual, and focus on what I am learning in The Mind. Good practical application.
Breathe in…. Breathe out…
And with last week, my left knee started talking a little. Maybe it was the increased movement in the pool. Or having fun on the bike when I had tailwind. Or cutting down on the Aleve. Whatever it was, it was talking, so I’m taking it easy & being more mindful. Keep the right knee moving (#1), allow the left (#2) to just relax, do some of the movements.
And swim. Just keep swimming. Already starting to ponder where I’ll swim after my local pool closes, a friend’s neighborhood pool closes, and how knee #2’s bionic date plays in. Now that my right knee no longer hurts from driving, I’m not minding the occasion trip in to Austin for a pool. Taylor’s isn’t open on Mondays, so if that’s a swim day for me, I travel. I really do love swimming. Hoping I can get back to it more quickly than I was able with knee #1.
Guinea Pig opportunity
I’ve opened up CST: Enteric Brain (The Gut) guinea pig sessions. Since Austin is running full, they’ll only be available in Taylor. These sessions will focus on going thru the new techniques/information I’ve been learning. These are discounted off the regular CST price, and available in 30 & 60 min sessions. Packages of 3 are also available if you want to experience & explore the depth of the work. Book all 3 when you get the package to make sure you get in, please. Must be used by Oct 27, 2023.
If you’ve got a CST session already scheduled, I’ll probably start adding bits in (vs the whole of new techniques).
Support Sharon’s Ride: Texas Mamma Jamma training update
With the knee starting to protest, I’m focusing more on enjoying my rides. Goal is to move, not move & irritate the knee. This said, I’m still quite comfortable where I am, on my ability to get my 15 miles in and then go massage the Big Wigs after (those that raise over $1500).
I’ve raised $87 so far. Be on the look out on social media of $5 Friday and days I’ll match what you donate.

I recently had a client ask what you’re supposed to feel/get/receive out of craniosacral session (CST). Everyone is different, so it’s hard to be precise. You might feel like you’ve been taken out of the fight or flight response: you might feel more together, more in sync. One client felt elongated & like she was floating afterward. You might feel like things shift without putting your finger on what. There can be emotional release, there can be trauma integrations, the relationships around you may change. Sometimes shifts are subtle, other times, obvious. What I feel when I work on you may translate to something entirely different in your world of awareness. And it has a cumulative effect when continued over time. How body & other systems aware are you? That will also make a difference.
And with all of this said, I just started another CST course on The Mind, and at the end of the month, I’ll have another CST class on the “enteric brain”, i.e. your gut. I’ll have discounted guinea pig opportunities available for these (you’ll likely have to pick one) in the next Hello Sunshine. Currently too early to say when I’ll be ready for them. If you’re called to be a guinea pig (squeak!), you’ll be able to schedule up to 3 sessions at the discounted price between when I open them up, and Oct 27 (last work day before knee #2 gets done). First come, first CST’d.
Support Sharon’s Ride: Texas Mamma Jamma training update
I’m just biking along, appreciating, truly, that I don’t have to worry about running or walking in this heat. With biking at least you create your own headwind!
I was recently talking to an athlete, and was recalling my first step into triathlon was doing the bike leg on a relay team at Memphis in May (Olympic Triathlon), probably in 2004, before I ever moved to Austin. I completed the 25 mile bike on my mountain bike in just over 90 min. I’ve still got that mountain bike. It’s been a huge help in my knee rehab – it’s got long pedal crank arms, so I get challenge to my range of motion. My road bike used to have the same long crank arms, but I was having a harder time riding it due to body position. We changed out the pedal crank and it’s now much better. Having the right equipment is huge in getting things moving correctly. I’m grateful to have 2 bikes that improve the knee differently.
As I posted on social media yesterday, I’m almost at 82 miles for the month, and only half way thru. It’s surprising how quickly the miles add up! I guess when I’m riding mostly 4 days per week, it’s gonna quickly. I’m quite happy with my long ride being “just” an hour. I also do 30 & 45 min rides to get it all to fit into my week. One of the big keys to getting exercise in – make it fit your life. I don’t have need, or even desire at this point really, to do more than I’m currently doing.

Your guide to everything under the moon, the Amber Moon, for 7/4/23
Yeah, I’m a day late. I’m posting this on a holiday. A Tuesday. Happy July 4th!
I gave myself the luxury of a tech free weekend, a quick get away. This HS‘s pic comes from sitting on a deck at Inks Lake, watching these glorious little hummingbirds flitter about. It kind of captures the whole weekend.
Ahhhhh.
Just a little time away. Haven’t really taken anything big – much less away – in a year, since the knee started acting up & getting ready for replacement about this time last year. I’ve taken time off, but not away. That was the key. Also had to get my critter sitters re-acquainted with protocols so I can take a bigger vacation later, before Knee #2 enters its next phase.
Knee #1 is progressing nicely
My right knee is continuing to get better. I’m actually getting “dents” in the upper half – it’s had a lot of inflammation since it got tweaked in 2019, so this is super exciting for me to see! I posted this morning on my FB & IG pages that today was the first day the ankle didn’t take 5 min to warm up & start behaving correctly. I just got on Hunts with Hawks (my mountain bike), and it behaved. Which also means the knee felt good. By the end of the ride, both knees were actually feeling strong!
And THEN….
I went for a swim. Normally as I do an open turn to go back the way I came, I have to favor the R knee. Not today! It was the one I pushed off with! It felt like I could get my hips into the wall, bend the knees, and get a good push off. Again, a surprise! I’ll take it! The left knee (#2) is getting a little cranky these days, so the right working better is a good thing.
And THEN….
My water bottle spilled a little, I thought I had cleaned it up. Alas, I started to slip on it a little later (post-swim), and caught myself, and did an actual graceful slide to sitting on the ground. Neither knee protests. Neither knee touches the ground. Both knees bent well. No consequences. Whew.
I’ve come a LONG WAY. Again, it goes back to daily TLC.
Support Sharon’s Ride: Texas Mamma Jamma training update
Basic info, cuz I shouldn’t assume you know what this is all about:
Funds raised for the Texas Mamma Jamma Ride supports the Lone Star Circle of Care’s Big Pink Bus. The Big Pink Bus offers free or low-cost breast cancer screenings on a state-of-the-art mobile mammography bus. Patients receive high-quality 3D breast imaging services. Lone Star Circle of Care qualifies eligible uninsured patients for safety net programs, and a sliding fee scale will be available according to household size and income.
The Big Pink Bus began offering mammography services in July 2021.
I’ve got someone coming in September 1 on Mondays & Tuesdays, so that leaves regularly schedulable times on Thursday & weekends. And on Monday & Wednesday until he gets here.
Fully furnished.
BYOS & Massage supplies.
Our room also has a slider & small balcony. Includes hall bathroom, small kitchenette/break room.
Lake Creek Parkway & 183/Northwest Austin. Easy access.

Your guide to everything under the moon, the Amber Moon, for 6/19/23
This month I got offered the opportunity to do something that completes a circle. I started my running career with middle & high school cross country & track. I got invited to coach Holy Family middle school cross country a few weeks ago. At first I was like “when could I fit that in??? I can’t do that…”, and then, an hour later, I figured out I only really needed to move 1 thing and shift another, and I could in fact return to my roots. So for 10 weeks this fall, I’m shifting my schedule. And coaching middle school cross country.
I’m excited! Think of all these little people I get to influence! I get to make running FUN for them. Hopefully I can give them something they will enjoy for years to come. While I’m “only” the assistant coach, you never know where this will lead!
October 14th is the final meet, which helped pick when…
Knee #2 becomes bionic
My right knee is finally far enough along that I got permission to schedule knee #2. I planned it so holidays give me a break along the way as I resume normal work, after I take a full 2 weeks off this time right after surgery (please see Studio closings below). Yes, it will also be the return of cousin Amy!
Texas Mamma Jamma training update
Why am I doing this?
I’ve been fortunate enough not to have cancer. I’ve had a lot of blunt force trauma. But I can still move. I can still get out there. I’ve got 1 bionic knee, and a 2nd scheduled. Not everyone going thru cancer has the ability to get out & bike/walk/swim/move, for a variety of reasons.
Last year I swam for the American Red Cross. This year, I’m biking for something closer to home – the Big Pink Bus. Getting mammograms out into communities that might not have access. Everyone deserves a chance to make sure they stay healthy. Yeah, Texas Mamma Jamma is a big deal here in Taylor. A client commented on this the other day. Right here in my community.
For a variety of reasons, the Austin studio is now leased by ME! and I’m looking for other massage therapists or similar to sublet.
Maybe someone that needs some space to meet with clients in Austin? They’ll have the massage table as a nice work space that can be pushed up against the wall. Please pass along if you know someone!

Using tools form the emerging field of bioenergetics, I assess and correct your body’s energy and communication systems, improve the body’s own ability to heal and stay healthy.
I can show you your energy blockages and give you contactless holistic care from your home. We can add a quick scan on to any in-person/virtual session you’re already here for and schedule your 30 min review session later. Scan does not have to be done in person. Ask me how!
This guinea pig opportunity can be done 1 of 3 ways:
1: Do a scan & follow up with a 30 min session to review your results. $30. No other obligation.
2: Try one of the Infoceuticals from of the Feel Good collection. $30. No scan required, just a conversation on what would best suite you; or…
3: Do your scan, we review your results, and you decide to try your personal set of Infoceuticals (5 bottles). $150.
What is an Infoceutical?
Using structured water – we are 99% water so it’s the best way to hold & carry info – NES Health imprints the water to different information ‘codes’ using sound & light & high voltage electricity – that’s how it stays put in the solution. It’s physics. It’s on the quantum level.
The Infoceutical provides the correct info to that which got distorted or imbalanced due to stress, life, trauma. It’s based on 36 y of decoding the human body field.
What’s the Feel Good collection?
Just like it says… they help you feel good. Your scan may indicate these, or you may just want to get the effect. Here’s some examples:
Chill
Chill encourages a calm mental state, and the releasing of emotional and sensory data. May be helpful when suffering from constant, long-term stress.
Night Infoceutical
Matches to the parasympathetic nervous system, which governs rest and repair. Helps to protect against electromagnetic radiation and artificial light pollution while you sleep. Also helps the body sync with natural circadian rhythms and produce melatonin and DHEA at night. (I sleep so much better on this).
ESR
Emotional Stress Release supports the release of emotional stress, soothes the digestive tract, and may assist in the absorption of nutrients. May be applied topically to areas of physical trauma.
And there’s more. This is just a taste. I’m happy to send you a full list if you’d like.
The good news – you can decide at your session which you wan to do.
My little vacation, an extra long Memorial Day weekend. Not just time off for healing.
Away from technology, Away from the normal routine. Getting some me time. I’ve not had a real break since well before the knee replacement (Dec 2022). I’ve take a little time off here & there, but 5 days together… I needed that.
I started biking back in April – and managed 54 miles that month. In May I got to 114. Just prior to becoming bionic, I was at about 130 miles/month. I’m feeling stronger every day. I think this is a good level of biking to be at for now, as I focus on getting the other knee ready for it’s journey. I see the knee doc on Tuesday, and we shall see what he says.
I’ve added more strength training in, and over the holiday weekend started swimming in Taylor’s outdoor community pool. I know I said it last time, but it really DOES feel to feel good again. To move. To be outdoors. This second knee I intend to be a breeze.
Before Knee #2 though, my life is gonna get a little crazy… More on this in the next Hello Sunshine.
Texas Mamma Jamma training update
I started off my vacation with getting a new bike fit – I had put shorter pedal cranks on, which make it easier for my knee to go over the top of the pedal stroke. Need a few weeks of riding to see how that felt – nothing majorly off, but minorly – and then refit the bike. Eric at Blur Cycleworks is a bit fit genius. I always find it fascinating to watch him process thru my issues – specifically the knees & ankle, which he’s not had to deal with before. I’d take his guessing what to do over pretty much anyone else’s guess.
First bike on it after the new fit – even being in the small ring (also his suggestion for my current state of training), I went farther, faster & felt better. I’ll take it. Bike fit is such a huge key. I appreciate Eric’s knowledge.

The first of 2 info emails about guinea pig opportunities:
Corrective Exercise Programming
Got 1 shoulder higher than the other?
Low back a chronic issue?
Other injuries that just seem to keep coming up…
over and over and over again?
Session 1: Let’s take a look at your foundation.
I’ll evaluate the alignment of your pelvis, shoulders, spine, uh, everything. Make some serious notes so we can show change later. I’ll give you a thing or 2 to do at home to start working on your re-alignment.
You’ll have your home program available on an app. You mark you do it. It holds you accountable. I check in. You check in.
Session 2-4: Quicker evaluation of your foundation, & update your home program.
You continue home program. App continues to hold you accountable.
Session 5: Deeper look at your foundation again.
See what’s changed. If your re-alignment is now holding.
Then we decide:
continue,
you good, or
incorporate into other formats?
It’s the consistency that is going to get you out of your chronic issues. Expect to spend a year working on your issues, and then maintenance.
Sessions are 30 min long for this guinea pig.
Ideally…
1st & 2nd session would be schedule a week apart.
2nd thru 5th session would be scheduled every 2 weeks.
I acknowledge it is summer. Schedules go awry. Do your best, schedule ASAP so that you get in & it works for you.
For the package option, you must start by June 15.
Individual sessions: $30 ($60/h)
5 sessions package price: $125 ($50/h)
After July, rate is $90/hour
(I’ll decide session length after this guinea pig time frame is up)
Your guide to everything under the moon, the Amber Moon, for 5/15/23
I recently realized I have 4 books going. No, make that 5 – 1 is on Kindle for times i’m waiting between clients, at various out & about things. Anyone else do this? I keep Weather Shamanism in my Austin Studio bag, and partake of a few pages between clients. The top 2 books are by my bed, to gently fall asleep with. The Urban Farmer is beside my recliner, and typically read a few pages with morning coffee, and when I do the longer icing on my knee (20 min on, 20 min off, 20 min on – need something to help pass the time!). My Kindle book is on coaching. Is that enough variety?
But here’s my issue, courtesy of my high histamine response (part of my overall immune issue), I am not able to read long before the brain goes to mush. I’ve gotten better with the infusions, but it’s still a challenge. I can read about 20 min before I need a break. The last book I really focused on finishing ‘quickly’ still took about 6 months.
Today I was thinking about my friend & bizbestie Ryan over at Organizing4Good. She’s a big advocate of audio books. While dislike and intolerance of sound is also a part of high histamine response, it’s actually gotten a lot better since the infusions. I’ve also found taking these Systems Integrated therapy courses virtually for the past year that I really learn well that way. So why not give books a try? I started one – yep, that makes 6 in progress. It was great to do dishes & cook breakfast & get a few chapters under my belt. My next question will be if I can listen while driving into Austin. That would be some productive time! I can hear Ryan now, “Yaaaaassss!” We all get there in our own time, right?
Oh, the audio book? Next Level by Stacy Sims. “Your Guide to Kicking Ass, Feeling Great, and Crushing Goals Through Menopause and Beyond”. I’ve got a lot of clients entering into this, including myself. I’m gonna have them all covered. Yeah, that DOES make 2 coaching books.
Friday question
If I opened up more sessions in Austin on Fridays, would you come? I need 2 to make it worth the drive in. I still don’t want to do it weekly, but maybe 1 Friday per month each – driveway & in studio? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Texas Mamma Jamma training update
I’ve started! Last Friday I got in my longest ride yet – both in terms of distance (my first double digit mileage to boot!) and time. Knees, ankles and all associated muscles felt it the next day – in a good way. In March, I biked a total of 9 hours. It’s only mid-May, and I’m almost at 6. I’ll call that progress! Knee feels better every day. Biking every other day has been most helpful. Consistency really is key.
Next up, I add in more strength training. Stronger legs = better biking, better knee recovery when I have #2 done (still TBA).
If you’re interested in joining in on Texas Mamma Jamma, please take a moment and fill out a questionnaire so you get on the list!
Not ready to commit to biking, but willing to support me? Donations being accepted now thru 9/15/2023. If you prefer, you can send to me, and I’ll add it to the fund – just specify that it’s for TMJ.
Guinea pig update
I’m in a learning phase right now. I’ve got 2 new sessions I’m working on that I am gonna need people to practice on very soon. More info to come very soon.
Bioenergetics – how in-balance are you with the world around you AND within you?
Body Symmetry Corrective Training – hips a little off or rotated? One shoulder higher than the other? This will help.
Specials – now & upcoming
It’s the last week to try a virtual class FREE…
Now through end of May, the first 5 new class attendees get any of my virtual classes for FREE. Your choice of :
Pilates Mat (Tues 1045a, 1h)
Everything Under the Moon (Tues & Thurs 5p, 30 min)
Viniyoga (Wed 1045a, 1h)
Vini-Chair-Yoga (Thurs 11a, 30 min)
Use code MAYSHOWERS, and hurry! Must be used by end of month, and once 5 are registered, that’s it.
Limit 1 per person. What makes you new? Have you been to a virtual class of mine before? No? Then you qualify!
Prepay for Personal Pilates, get a class free. I find this is a really good combo for new people. Quality time for 1 session, exposure to group stuff and trying things under less guidance, and then circle back around with questions during your next personal sessions. I’d go ahead and schedule now while I’ve got more openings.
I’ve you’ve been doing other sessions with me but not Personal Pilates, this is your chance to get it on it. Maximize your results. Once you get it on the calendar, I’ll send you a coupon for classes so you can pick and choose, see what works for you.
Prefer Personal Training instead? Ok, I can make that work instead of Personal Pilates.
Class sessions must be used the week of your personal sessions.

Your guide to everything under the moon, the Amber Moon, for 5/7/23
My lil chick Blueberry (a cream legbar hen) just wanted to pop in & say “PEEP!” She & the rest of this lil flock are growing so fast! Work starts on the outside space that will house them next weekend, so they can be separate from my grown flock and still be safe – from the big siblings & predators. The 2 flocks will be mixed when these lils are as big as the growns, which will be around 4-6 months old.
And I must say, it feels good to feel good again. Aside from loving on the cats, the flocks, taking care of house & plants, I can bike & walk now, and I’ll be swimming again soon. I’ve got energy and capability for doing life. My goal is to be hiking again by the end of this month. Short hikes, on TRAIL. Out in NATURE. *sigh* I miss my time walking in woods, trails & natural areas.
Texas Mamma Jamma Ride & Fundraiser
My fundraiser for this summer is the Texas Mamma Jamma ride. Pedaling to beat Breast Cancer and support the Big Pink Bus. I’d love for you to join me!
We’ve got a new bike shop in Taylor (Taylor Bike Company), I’ve been by to introduce myself (now that I can ride!), joined them for a casual shop ride, and am looking forward to collaborating with them. We’re working on something to get you to the 15 miles (like ME! I do have a new knee, after all), 25, 50 and 70 miles. If you’re interested, please take a moment and fill out a questionnaire so you get on the list! Wheels are also turning for future collaborations as well.
Not ready to commit to biking, but willing to support me? Donations being accepted now thru 9/15/2023. You wanna do a straight donation? Awesome. Sponsor $”X” per mile I train? Days I’m on a bike? Get creative! I’ll be posting my journey regularly on social media, so you can follow along.
See, start now, by September YOU TOO can do 15 miles. Consistency is key. I’ll help you get there.
