Is Your Neck the Key to a Pain-Free Upper Body?

// 2023 CHANNEL UPDATE //
I’ve moved on from Mobility Mastery (self fascia release) in order to focus on teaching Kinetix, my method of root cause discovery for pain and dis-ease that involves partner fascia release as a “diagnostics” (and regeneration) tool. Kinetix is a complete scientific methodology that I teach to friends, partners and professionals alike inside The Kinetix Academy.
My other primary focus will be the launch and growth of a new podcast and Substack community called The Human Freedom Project.
// NEW CONTENT ON KZbin //
Sometime in 2023 I will return to KZbin with HFP podcast episodes and content created to help you know and understand yourself as a whole organism made of body, soul and spirit. This content will feature the Kinetix methodology, pain science, fascia secrets I’ve learned from 15+ years in private practice, neuroscience and evolving beyond the brain, trauma and the body, and more! I’m excited to go on this new adventure with you.
********** // VIDEO DESCRIPTION // *********
What you may not realize is that, while neck tightness can certainly cause neck pain, it can also cause:
🔹Shoulder pain
🔸Mid back pain
🔹Jaw pain
🔸Tension headaches
🔹Grip issues
🔸Shooting pain down the arms
🔹Numbness and tingling in the hands and fingers
🔸Brain fog
🔹Poor eyesight
🔹and more
But the real question is...
WHY IS YOUR NECK SOOOOO TIGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE?
It might come as a shock, but one of the biggest root causes of neck tightness is actually an unstable pelvis and a lack of deep core activation. Hang with me here.
What I see so often working with people is that our neck muscles tighten up to compensate for a lack of core or hip (pelvis) stability. To put it simply you need a stable spine for communication between your brain and body, and when the base of the spine (the pelvis/hips) becomes unstable the top of the spine (your neck) can tighten up to stabilize that spine so your brain and body and keep communicating.
For example, when you’re doing pilates or yoga or a strength training workout that requires a strong core, your anterior neck muscles (SCM’s and scalenes) will often strongly contract if you are not engaging your deep lower core in order to stabilize your spine on one end.
My theory is that the brain will prioritize an uncompromised spine above everything (since without a healthy spine you could die); and, I believe the brain seeks a “rooted” stability (secure attachment) at one end, in order to let the rest of the spine be fluid and free. So either you need a rooted strong pelvis and sacral/lumbar spine, OR you need a secure cervical spine (neck). If you have neither, your thoracic spine will take a big hit and the muscles around your trunk will compensate, often leading to mid back pain, hunchback posture, overworked obliques/diaphragm/rectus abdominis…
It’s preferable (healthy) to be rooted in your pelvis, since this is your center of gravity and where all of your power for torque, propulsion and breathing comes from. Using your cervical spine instead of your sacrum to stabilize your whole spine is asking for trouble down the road, since these are tiny muscles compared to the ones in your pelvis and core.
One major contributor to pelvic instability and a chronically tight neck is a lack of deep core activation. Meaning, your pelvic floor and lower abdominal muscles (part of your deep core) are weak and/or unable to contract on demand (they've become inhibited).
Why do they become inhibited? There’s a laundry list of root causes, but it often can be traced back to one of a handful of things:
✅ ​​Have you ever fallen on your tailbone?
✅ Have you ever had abdominal surgery?
✅ Have you been told you’re in anterior pelvic tilt?
✅ Is your low back excessively curved, in a sway back or lordosis posture?
✅ Have you had low back surgery?
✅ Do you have a history of sexual trauma?
✅ Were you ever paddled or belted on the butt as a child?
✅ And finally…do you sit a lot?
If you answered yes to any of these it could be leading to a lack of deep core activation, pelvic instability, and ultimately... that neck tightness you’re experiencing.

SPI is the course I wish I'd had back in 2012. You can learn more and join here 👉 bit.ly/2VbUqy6 | For YEARS, personal trainers told me I had a "serious case" of anterior pelvic tilt and I really needed to strengthen my core. But years of "core work" only made my lower back and neck tighter (my lower abs never got sore). The lower back can inhabit the lower ab muscles, and then the neck takes over for the lower core - creating a vicious cycle. I'm excited to take another group through this course here in 2021, it's the only time I'll offer it this year with live Zoom support from me. Would love for you to join us!

[@justinaplaxton9900]

7 out of 8!! This rings true so much for me. How can one find out more now the course is closed? Links don’t provide me with any information. Struggled with this for over 15 years now, with no answers. This finally sounds right. ❤

[@ElishaCeleste]

@@justinaplaxton9900 hi there - I have archived the SPI course forever, so it is no longer available. I've also stopped teaching self fascia release courses altogether. My free videos on KZbin have helped a lot of people (as you can see from the comments section), but after 5 years teaching self fascia release courses I learned that most of the people joining my courses were dealing with chronic pain that they were unable to resolve with my free videos. Chronic pain really needs to be addressed at an individual level, because every person in chronic pain is experiencing pain for different reasons having to do with their fascia, their nervous system, their subconscious mind, beliefs, traumas, sports, injury history etc. Most of the people who joined my SPI course, for example, felt overwhelmed by the information, confused by their results in weeks 1 and 2, and frustrated that they weren't getting out of pain right away. I'm actually unaware of a single person who resolved their pelvic instability by using my course. While I did provide all the necessary information for people to do so, it took me 8 YEARS to aggregate and understand all of the information I put into that course and this is my profession. Pelvic instability is an incredibly complex phenomenon. Chronic pain is another complex phenomenon. Most people are unable to resolve these things on their own at home, even with step by step video guidance. This was true for me too - that's why it took me 8 years to figure this out for myself. I tried to get help, but none of the practitioners I went to understood this complex phenomenon or how to resolve it. So I figured it out on my own but it took a long time. I do work with private clients via Zoom. If that's something you're interested in, you can learn more here: elishaceleste.com/work-with-me

[@justinaplaxton9900]

@@ElishaCeleste thank you so much for taking the time to reply. This video really resonated with me and I understand the complexity of it all, along with the frustrations. My actual pain in my back started after giving birth to my still born daughter, so along with the traumas I had already had in that region, I believe this was possibly the straw that broke the camels back (no pun intended!) But never once has a professional addressed the possibilities that you have and I really really appreciate you just putting the possibility out there that there’s a different way to look into. Thank you again xx

[@Samya.R]

@@ElishaCeleste…do you no longer have available the “Solving Pelvic Instability” course/workouts? Whether via KZbin or online workshop? This video only just found and it speaks to everything I’ve been experiencing. I was excited and hopeful as I faced to purchase the course workshop only to find it no longer on your website. I hope you can still provide these resources! It’s so important and needed! Thank you 🙏🏼

[@Samya.R]

@@ElishaCeleste…oh I just noticed your extensive answer to my same question to another person. Sorry!

[@Misslotusification]

My neck is tight for many reasons, but one is because I tense my shoulders, being on alert mode, not relaxed. Being tense signals the mind that there's danger, thus the mind creates a reason to explain the bodily sensations, and we're caught in a stress loop.

[@raes6096]

I've been in three car accidents in the span of 10 years, along with two 2 c sections in the last 6 years. This all makes so much more sense as to why im constantly stiff and achey all over!

[@anaaraiza5532]

Not me finally realizing that all those times grandma said, "be careful, all those times you hurt yourself but think it's nothing, unfortunately you'll see the repercussions when you get older". You just opened my eyes to the root of my stiffness and pains. Be blessed, asked I hope this information reaches so many people that need to know about how to address their issues.

[@viviannesinclaire]

Wow, you hit all my weak spots. Check, check, check. What a dynamic inter-relational body imaginiation of why my body is what it is! My neck ischronically tight and feels blocked, low back tilt, weak core muscles, being belted as a child and falling endlessly on my butt on hard ice on the skating rink. and the list goes on. I've been to a chiropractor many times and he couldn't figure why within seconds of adjusting my spine - from atlas to coccyx it would go right back out of alignment. He'd adjust it repeatedly and it would never hold. This helps me understand: it's the tight fascia and unprocessed trauma - both physically and emotionally. Lovely and lively presentation that makes so o o o much sense! Thank you dear Elisha. Much love.

[@feenixrose3515]

I just had rectocele surgery and before the surgery, I had nearly constant neck pain. Since the surgery, not only did I notice the neck pain was gone, but my abs feel and look contracted. I've been doing all kinds of "core exercises" for years ( I did have undiagnosed rectocele during that time ) with no noticeable results. It is obvious the surgery corrected a posterior tilt and activated my lower abs which de-activated the neck muscle compensation. This lower ab activation did require the surgery to correct the spinal alignment of the pelvis but I absolutely understand that adhesions/scar tissue in the fascia can keep the skeleton out of alignment ( your tail bone scar tissue ) and I just love your work. I am a massage therapist and a yoga instructor and your information will take my work to a whole new level. Thank you so much!

[@garettsarafian4208]

You have explained this so well and put it all together, bravo

I had five blood clots go up my leg and I couldn’t move for a month on top of that, I have scoliosis and poly myalgia. Oh my God it’s a lot but I sure do love your videos make me understand a lot more what’s going on in my body thank you so much.

Omg I cannot believe how you are blowing my mind.

[@terribohn7588]

Did you hear back from Celeste? I too would like to take the course.

[@forestfox1111]

Yes to all of it! Busted tailbone 2x ( Horse & Snowboard) and it's been brutal upper shoulder and neck issues. A physical therapist definitely mentioned the back curve and grip. This really ties it all together, Thank You! ❤

I interrupted watching your hip/back pain vid to comment on this vid, but stayed on this vid cuz your journey to heal and strengthen n understand your body is fascia-nating! 😏

[@ElishaCeleste]

Thank you! It's been a journey. I'm tenaciously curious, so that's helpful. I love sharing what I learn, thanks for hanging out!

[@odetedaniel]

Ty u for you content!

[@janiceho5895]

Wow! You’ve really connected the dots for me! I had a tailbone injury as well as other things on the list, and as I’ve been slowly healing myself over the years, I have seen these connections play out. I didn’t know about neck tightness and grip strength, which definitely affected my work as a jeweler for many years. I still have tight muscles in my hands and arms from the compensations! Thank you for what you do - I am so appreciative!

[@ElishaCeleste]

Hi Janice - yay! You're very welcome, I'm so glad this helped connect some dots for you. 💛

[@mariGentle]

Great channel thank you so much ❤ i also think that as our anger is stored in our base chakra, this compounds the issue

[@ElishaCeleste]

The body holds so much for us, always compounding what would otherwise be purely physical issues. In my particular case, my neck was involved in helping me "bite my tongue" and "shut my mouth" aka not speaking my truth, inability to set boundaries, say "NO" etc.

[@katycaie4618]

Thank you that was really interesting and I can tick a number of the list of events which may have led to neck pain - I'm a horse rider, and damaged my coccyx as a child falling off, sexual trauma as a child, compacted vertebrae in my neck in my 20's, abdominal surgery in 2017, and bad posture when working at a computer etc etc. I am also a retired Military officer, so I am an "endurer' "no pain no gain" and now trying to undo the affects of that. - I am currently trying to release the tightness in my neck but also in my hips and pelvis area - so your video above was really informative - thank you again for your knowledge and inspiration x

[@azdjedi]

I've also had the thought that my tight neck, which I already know contributes to things like burning eyes and tinnitus, as also causing lower IQ because of less blood flow. It just makes sense.

[@aaronfrey4418]

I've been dealing with concussion symptoms for a year and half and eternally tight neck and nothing has helped long term. But after watching this, I went to my osteopath and he was like, yeah, it looks like your sacrum is really tight. So hopefully we'll solve this mystery soon!

[@WolvesandWhatnot]

This video blew my mind!!!!!!

[@azdjedi]

Your story sounds like mine in a few ways. I'm also on a TVA journey that is compensated by my neck. Sooo frustrating not finding solutions, but finally I think I'm onto something good with fascia.

[@nomadhenry3694]

OMG.. this is brilliant. I have most of the symptoms in your 1st sentence.. I thought it was from a neck injury playing rugby at school in the 80s. Maybe it is. Still got the symptoms tho. Getting acupuncture atm. I too work out, yoga, surf. Paddling a surf board puts massive strain on lower back.

[@jennylynottthomas1134]

Gosh! I've been using my neck to compensate for the disconnection deep within my pelvic region for circa 30 yrs. It didn't inhibit my movement massively but the root cause is still there to be addressed. I was getting to the connection between pelvis & neck but your video has really crystalised everything and I've gone from 2nd gear to 5th gear with your help, thank you Elisha ❤😊

[@elenamartinezvidal]

This is me! Let's keep working on this and that. Let's get a massage, let's do PT, let's do.... I am in SC now. I wish you were here!

Everything you said is me.

[@azdjedi]

Scar tissue in my pelvis is not something I've ever considered! Interesting theory. I've played many sports and I'm sure at some point in my teens I've fallen on my ass on the ice. In this moment my mind is saying that perhaps the reason I'm so good at staying up, not being able to be pushed over, and never falling when skating (as an adult) is not because I have superioir balance and skills (altho that for sure contributes), but from a fear of the pain of a repeat fall, and so my body contracts really well to protect against the fall. Dunno if that is logical, but my mind just suggested it.

[@angelabrighouse2180]

I have got everything you said about the pain you had

[@ozzied801]

Can I still get the course information ? I exactly have the same problem . So happy to have found you 🙂

[@trinitywave]

This is fascinating. Is it just massage that undoes the tightness of the muscles around the tailbone?

[@altonlg24]

Wow @12:30 this makes sense. I thought that maybe i wasn't eating or breathing enough enough, but it was likely that what i was taking in was not reaching my head. Thank you very much for sharing this. Does this also contribute to standing up too fast and eyes going black or spotty? I have learned that if I engage my lower abbs and obliques, I can quickly reduce or negate the symptom. If I understand correctly, this would also apply to the blood leaving properly when bending over.

[@juliam.1567]

Hello Elisha, awesome video. I stepped over it this morning and do relate. Could you please send me the link of your course again you described in your above video? That would be great! I understood that you offer an online class with instructions on how to address different body part fascia. Is this correct? I searched your website and couldn't find it. Only a link to your program 'kinetix academy'. Or is that the course you were referring too? Thank you very much in advance.

Pretty sure you’ve listed all of my probs at the beginning- wow 😳

[@jaimemillard914]

Hello, are you ever going to offer this course again?

[@AliciaFoxPhotography]

Super informative and helpful video. I have seen so many doctors and practitioners about my neck pain and tension, with no positive results. Elisha do you think hypermobility can be a cause of neck tension? My hips and shoulders are very flexible and my lower back is always arched. Since being a child I never seem to have engaged my core, rather compensating through misaligned postures. Thank you!

[@ElishaCeleste]

Hi Alicia. Yes, as a hypermobile person myself, I do believe this can contribute to being injury prone and/or lead to compensatory muscle tightness. Having said that, I don't think there's a strong correlation between hypermobility and neck tension specifically. Since you've noticed your core isn't engaged, I think it's more likely that your neck has taken over to stabilize your spine due to a lack of deep core activation and/or a lack of intra-abdominal pressure (this is what happened to me, and I see this in many of my clients). There may be a connection to the hypermobility, but I don't think it's the major cause. Also, for what it's worth: in myself and many of my clients with this issue (I would say the majority, most of whom are women, but not all) there is also sexual trauma in our history. I know for me personally, this is the primary root cause of my lack of muscle activation in my lower abdominals, compounded by other injuries like falling on my tailbone.

[@AliciaFoxPhotography]

Thank you so much for your reply@@ElishaCeleste, I really appreciate it. I have been thinking about it a lot. Do you recommend any particular way to access possible repressed memories/trauma or identifying the cause of my issue (eg kinesiology)? I did have falls when I was younger, although none stand out as terribly serious. Since reading your message I have done some research that talks about the brain causing us to forget any incident or abuse that is too much for us to process, especially if it occurred during childhood, so this is a possibility too.

[@ElishaCeleste]

@@AliciaFoxPhotography - my philosophy is that whatever we're ready to remember, we will. And it's best not to make up stories that aren't true, while also being open to whatever wants to reveal itself to us. My favorite way to do this is with the body, through feelings: when you do fascia release, feel your emotions, sensations, instincts, impulses and intuitions. Those are soul elements alive within our body ready to reveal something to us about our subconscious inner nature. Sometimes, people have emotional releases (with or without memories attached). Sometimes, people have memories arise (with or without emotion). The most healing energy we can cultivate is openness. Presence to "what is." 💛

[@golu3206]

I have exactly the same problem.please make ur exercises available on youtube.I would be so much obliged to you .

[@trambeleios]

Do you still provide any service to solve such issues? I would be very interested to solve my weird shoulder pain that seems to come from the neck.

[@dreamervanroom]

12/2022: Hello, I am very interested. What do I see, not so much pain... I dont know if it stops me from functioning clearly but what I see./experience is this (not neck or arm pain) 1. I cannot stand "bleeding brakes" on a car, aka lifting my head from a supine position. 2. I got in a Natisus machine about neck and I "instantly" got the same "pissed off" feeling that happened when I bled the breaks. Stop the exercist and the pissed off immediately vanished. - This was maybe 20 years ago and I never... Even though I "know a lot" your video had a lot of info and I will have to listen again and try things to see if I can make the connection. Here'sn interesting note. Occasionally I get severe cramps/pain in my fingers, in between the first and second joints, not in the joints. stopps me form gipping ofr sure. What helps is doing arm circles, arms straight out, a circle of say 10 inches, and then in the other direction. I got for 40 in each direction. Nice easy fix. Thank you for your videos. This is the second I have seen. IIR.

[@arynf04]

Where can I learn more about this? I had huge arm moments because I did have a tailbone injury back when I was 12… as a Pilates, instructor I see this a lot in clients, but also myself…

[@dreamervanroom]

I have some interest on what kind of postural patterns happen in a person who had Erb's Palsy - and the child who imitates her mother's posture. Thanks.

[@lw9218]

When will you have a new zoom lesson for the Pelvic Instability?

[@0hSineadian]

I definitely felt my neck straining in the test 100%… I have a question though: I often feel my hip flexors being used and even hurting during abdominal exercises - is that also related to PI?

[@ElishaCeleste]

Hi Sinead - YES. The hip flexors can definitely get recruited during abdominal exercises. Although a lot of abdominal exercises DO engage the hip flexors as well, but they should be supporting muscles not the dominant players in those exercises. You said your hip flexors hurt while doing this, so it sounds like they could be feeling overworked and strained.

[@SandiD1959]

I have cervical dystonia so apart from botox injections relieving the spasms to some extent i cant get rid of the tightness

[@altonlg24]

[@queenbee6885]

Hello ma'am when are you having the next course, i would love to join.

[@Audrey-ri6ie]

I answered yes to several and I need help. My neck is doing all the work for everything.

[@lieseho2072]

This is me like i've never heard it described before! Is this course still available somewhere?

[@Renmiou]

This is something I'm really curious about: I'm most likely not going to be able to join the call tomorrow (I'm an early bird!) because of the timing, but I think I always had weak lower abs. No matter how much I dieted or exercised my lower belly is always a bit jelly - now, that isn't my main concern, but I wonder whether how we look and where we accumulate flabbiness can reveal something about the underlying structures. I have a memory about feeling awful pain to my left hip when I was a child, thinking it was growing pains and, ages later, during a women's health visit (for pelvic weakness and slight incontinence after childbirth) and the physio examined me inside and said the pelvic floor was weaker on the left side. My whole life I had a tight neck, and I tend to lean forward a bit and both my parents have as well. I tend to get pain in the muscles near the spine only on the neck. Years ago (in 2014) I hurt my right knee running. Nothing like a fall: it just made awful noises and hurt a lot. I was told to rest for weeks and as I lay on a sofa (that seems to tilt upwards and is too long for me, but I struggled to get upstairs) I realised both knees and ankles were really creaky. After I recovered, years later, I still couldn't get my LEFT knee not to hurt (on the outside). This is all a huge puzzle to me and I hope that whether I manage to join further calls (a couple seem to be at a doable time for me) or not I can solve the puzzle. I seem to work backwards but always stop making sense of things as I chase my pain towards my left hip. When that hurts, my left shoulder really hurts too (around the rhomboid, I believe) and I'm lost. Plus, if I can mitigate the pain in the left leg, the right pain in the knee that I felt years ago suddenly comes back! Mysterious! Sorry for the long comment! I think it's as much me rambling and exposing my findings so far. :) I'm hoping that the course can help me troubleshoot and find the right way to activate muscles that don't work and perhaps help friends and family too! Your biceps technique already seemingly stopped a migraine in its tracks for my husband, so I'm going to wear my detective cap and get along for the ride!

[@Renmiou]

And as it happens, I converted to GMT wrong when I wrote this comment, so I did manage to take part! I feel that the bonus was so useful, and the contribution from the other participants was also amazingly valuable. I'm really glad the sessions from the previous course are available, I think there will be a lot of useful knowledge to be found if they're anything like today's! Thanks again!

It sounds like exercise won't help. Only finding out the root cause ans addressing it will help. I don't see how an online course and group zoom calls could actually do that. Pardon me if this seems negative, but I'm being sincere... Love the information, just seems like its so highly personalized and needs direct physical contact and an online course and group zoom calls aren't condusive for it? But grateful for this info!

[@Pennymilligan99]

When is the next course?

[@dannettesavas3269]

What is the title of the person that we need to see for Fasha release myofascia

[@Genisis111]

A "Rolfer"....rolfing works. A bit painful but it's worth it. Or "Structural Intergration". Both practices release fascia tissue.

[@burhanbmoney6250]

My barber be like why is your neck so tight know I know y 😂😅

[@katelinpeters973]

How do I find the root cause? I have gone to SO many different physical therapists, etc

[@ElishaCeleste]

A lot of my videos talk about the root causes of pelvic instability and provide self fascia release techniques that you can use to figure this out on your own. It is, however, a pretty complex issue that usually requires some sleuthing to identify prior injuries, compensations, lifestyle habits, sports etc that are creating the imbalances that lead to pelvic instability. And, it also requires that the muscles offline (usually the glutes and deep core) get activated again. This is the trickiest part, and unfortunately there are not a lot of people who know how to do this well. I spent 10 years looking for someone to help me, and in the process learned a lot that I now use to help others. I still haven't found anything to help me completely solve the deep core issues, but I have hope they are out there.

Interesting… I fell off a horse as a teenager and I have chronic neck pain. So this is connected?

[@odetedaniel]

Can u give me your website the link doesn’t work

[@ElishaCeleste]

Here are my websites: elishaceleste.com/ www.thehumanfreedomproject.com/ humanfreedomproject.substack.com/

[@peacequeen2579]

are you going to show us what the hell to do!

[@sylviaolney652]

Could multiple C-Sections also cause this?

[@ElishaCeleste]

Yes, absolutely. Any abdominal surgeries can lead to inhibited core muscles and the neck (and/or other muscles) taking over.

[@WillowHopeBartlett]

Again, divine choreography leads me to you. I’m 59, 6 months in to physical trauma release. I never connected the dots between my vertical emergency C-section, a fall and sexual trauma, severe neck pain…I’m your newest subscriber and your videos will be a part of my healing

[@pgtips4240]

You are waiting people's time! Not traching anything!

[@mikeorr9533]

Number of violent whiplashes

[@mikeorr9533]

Also broke coxyx sp? As child and had abdominal surgery. ( Splenectomy )

[@mikeorr9533]

Physio, based on stretching, including using opposite muscle releasing helps

[@mikeorr9533]

I also use nightly traction via elastic head hanger

[@mikeorr9533]

Bit late to the party

[@1212haro]

WARNING… this is one of those ADVERTISEMENTs where they talk forever before letting you know that you have to pay for sessions ranging from $250 to $500. That’s as far as I looked. I’m almost positive she/they will try to hook you for more! 😡

[@jennylynottthomas1134]

I do not hold with your perspective

[@hubenbu]

The possibility is that you need to do some homework to be able to appreciate the valuable knowledge in the video.

[@ucanliv4ever]

1212haro, the flip side of that coin is that KZbin is filled with opportunistic shills that have sold their soul. Celeste is a breath of fresh air amidst the the toxic smog of the internet. " A worker is worthy of his/her wages."

[@MightyMouse350]

Social media is where individuals & companies advertise.. and have done for at least 15 years 🤦

[@Mykidsaresmarterthanyours]

Everything isn't free.

[@tamarunitamaruni4724]

Watching several of her videos, if she could QUICKLY get to the point and THEN tell all those great stories it would be GREAT. OMG exhausting She asks a *pointed* question in her titles but her acutely VIDEO rambles EVERYwhere but is anything but pointed and clear as the video title implies. 👉 Could you in future, get STRAIGHT to your answer DIRECTLY acknowledging your specific question without just USING rambly STORIES to answer them. JUST ANSWER the question AND THEN expound on that with your stories. I've watched several videos intently and find myself straining in the middle of the videos and throughout listening to insightful information but lost in stories straining to actually hear in it the answer to the video title itself. I really believe people have just gotten exhausted following these and that you would have had a much higher viewer number over time if you addressed this. Actually i just realized you don't get to the point with a point of action because you're selling your services. i just don't see any action for us to take in the videos, just an offer to purchase her service. why not do both? 😢 click bait?😢

[@seaslife60]

It's not clickbait. How do YOU make a living? Do you work for free?

[@Nancy-tr5fi]

TALK, 😢TALK, TALK, NO EXERCISE, NO RELIEF! Do people who don't talk to family or friends just want to talk to a machine? World is ruined & all your talk does not help.

[@nicks.4276]

Settle down there, tiger

[@angienorton844]

Rude

[@Time4change111]

Sincere deep prayer ALWAYS helps, God Bless 🙏🏾 ❤

[@alext4183]

This is an info video! She has a whole video about HOW TO RELIEVE this. Do ur research before talking so rudely. 💁🏼

[@daniellescott477]

I hope things got better for you, BLESSINGS 😊

[@MrEvanTea]

WOW, I can't believe you are charging people that price, unbelievable.
