Advanced Integrative Bodyworx PLLC Presents: Self Care Interventions for Migraines/Headaches: Jaw & Tongue (Part 2)
Learn to release your jaw and reduce your migraine symptoms! Part 2 of 2

Welcome to the new evolution of The Whole Body & Mind Self Care Series: Self Care Interventions!

Self Care Interventions is a new series of classes, workshops, and discussions aimed at supporting you with actionable & targeted strategies, techniques, and resources to managing chronic pain and illness at home.


About Self Care Interventions for Headaches/Migraines: Jaw & Tongue (Part 2 of 2)
This workshop first began in smaller communities as a labor of love and a support for sex workers in 2019 under an entirely different name. It then became the Whole Body & Mind Self Care Series in 2024, reaching into broader communities. It is now part of the new Self Care Interventions Series as Aera expands into Health Coaching and wishes to reach more in need of this work. This workshop is 2 parts. The first part is focusing on the Head, Face, and Neck, and the second part focuses on the Inside of the Mouth (Jaw and Tongue), where pain points and weakness can fester, turning into migraines or trigeminal nerve attacks, or even contributing to sleep disruption.

Previous versions of this workshop have sold out due to how thorough and specific these techniques are. You do not need to have any anatomy training or understanding to benefit from this workshop. Aera will be sure to explain everything and guide you through the process. In order to give optimal attention and instruction, Aera has limited tickets to this workshop to 10 participants. This is not a continuing education certificate, and this does not permit you to use these techniques on others.

Aera is not liable for any harm caused by attempting these techniques, mis-using them, or trying to use them on others.

So, what are we going to do?
In this workshop we will be learning and practicing techniques focused on the Jaw and Tongue. You will earn how to target specific pain points, mindfully, inside the mouth! We will also be going over self care strategies, timing, how to use different self care toys, and Aera will demonstrate how to use these tools to reduce harm and increase your relief.

We will have a couple body breaks so we can move around, get water, and stretch!

What you need to bring to the workshop or have ready:
1. Yourself and an open, curious mind
2. Have hand sanitizer or something ready to wash your hands - we will be touching all over the face!
3. Have exam/food handlers gloves ready - we will be going inside the mouth in this workshop! (Have 2 pairs just in case)
4. Please prepare your space for minimal distractions.

What will this knowledge do for you?
1. You will be able to identify what you need when symptoms begin, and to take proactive action against it.
2. You will leave feeling empowered to manage chronic pain in these regions.
4. You will learn some basics of anatomy and discover more about yourself.
5. You will have learned direct points inside of the mouth and how to approach them to reduce pain and tension, providing relief from headaches and most migraines.

About your host/instructor Aera Barnette LMT, Intra-Oral Certified, and Health Coach (soon to be board certified!)
Aera is a spoonie, just like you! They have personal and professional (10 years) experience in chronic pain management strategies from an evidence-based, holistic, and integrative perspective. Aera comes to you with perspective from having POTs, hEDS, MCAS, Trigeminal Neuralgia, TMJ, multiple cases of whiplash, upper cervical injuries, cerebral palsy, and chronic pain stemming from genetic issues unrelated to hEDS and MCAS.

After their first upper cervical injury in the fall of 2017, Aera developed Trigeminal Neuralgia with sub occipital pain, and worsening upper cervical-related pain, along with mild facial palsy and some swallowing dysfunction. It was some of the very same strategies taught in this class that they learned from their mentors, which helped them manage these, and many other, pains, and they wish to pass this on to you!

Their approach features the use of self care strategies, including self care toys, planning/organization, and specific, targeted self massage techniques that almost anyone with function in their hands can learn to do themselves.
