This isn't a standard intake form. It's the beginning of understanding what your body is telling you — and how we'll work together to listen.
Every session ends with calm. That's the promise.Why this approach works — and where others get it wrong
Two AI-generated overviews — one focused on the science, one on Kristyn's journey and why this approach is different.

Scroll to see what the science says about the jaw-pelvis connection.
When she worked inside my mouth, I felt it in my pelvis. That's when I knew — you can't treat the jaw without treating the whole chain. And you can't leave a client activated without bringing them back to calm.
Select what resonates most. There are no wrong answers.
Choose one to start — we'll explore the connections together.
Your jaw and your pelvis are physically connected — through a continuous membrane (the dura mater) that runs from your skull to your sacrum, and through fascial chains that link your tongue and jaw muscles all the way down to your pelvic floor.
A 2024 clinical trial found that just 15 minutes of jaw soft tissue therapy produced a measurable change in pelvic floor muscle activation. When we release your jaw, your whole body responds.
Because of the jaw-pelvis connection, these often travel together.
During intraoral and buccal work — gentle technique inside the mouth that releases deep facial muscles — you may feel sensations in unexpected places: your hips, your pelvis, your core. That's not unusual. Your jaw is connected to your pelvis through fascial chains and the craniosacral system.
Unlike an esthetician, I can follow those sensations and address what comes up — so you leave feeling integrated, not just refreshed on the surface.
Chronically braced bodies — from desk work, stress, or injury — often resist deep pressure. The nervous system interprets force as threat and tightens further. What actually creates lasting release is rhythm: gentle rocking, oscillation, and movement that teaches your body a new pattern.
Combined with jaw release (because your jaw is usually part of the same bracing pattern) and calming integration, this approach addresses the system — not just the symptom.
The vagus nerve — the longest nerve in your parasympathetic system — runs from your brainstem through your neck, chest, and into your abdomen. When manual therapy stimulates vagal tone through gentle holds, jaw release, or diaphragm work, your entire body shifts from fight-or-flight into rest-and-digest.
You can actually hear it happen: digestive sounds (gurgling) during a session mean your parasympathetic nervous system is engaging. Your body is telling both of us it feels safe.
We start with a conversation. I listen to what your body has been telling you, and we set an intention for the session together. No rushing.
Based on your needs, this may include intraoral jaw release, fascial work, Thai-influenced rocking and mobilization, or focused treatment for specific areas. I follow what your body shows me — and I check in with you along the way.
No matter what we work on, the final 10 to 15 minutes are devoted entirely to calming, settling touch. Face, scalp, feet — whatever your body needs to come back to center. You will never leave feeling stirred up. This is the promise.
This helps me understand what your body has been through — so I can work with it, not against it.
Even if this isn't why you're coming in, your jaw affects more than you might think.
The abdomen and pelvis hold a lot of your body's story. This is confidential and helps me understand what areas may need attention or sensitivity.
Surgical scars — especially C-sections and abdominal procedures — create fascial adhesions that can pull on structures above and below the scar site. These adhesions can contribute to back pain, hip tension, digestive issues, and even jaw clenching through the same fascial chains that connect your entire core. Knowing your history helps me understand the full pattern.
Everything we do is with your ongoing permission. You can change your mind at any point.
Is there anything else I should know to make your session safe, comfortable, and effective?
