Did you know almost 80% of people with autoimmune disease are women?

I just finished a course by Mamagena and she mentioned this. I wanted to dive deeper into these stats and reshare because it’s so TRUE!! 🤯🤯🤯

Studies show that nearly 80% of people with autoimmune disease are women. We’re also more likely to experience chronic pain, insomnia, IBS, and long COVID, etc.. Add to that the fact that women are twice as likely to develop depression or PTSD and face a much higher risk of eating disorders, and the pattern becomes hard to ignore.

It’s not just our biology.

Our culture rewards women for being agreeable, selfless, and accommodating. From an early age, many of us learn that anger, boundaries, or voicing our needs can cost us connection. Over time, this conditioning wires us to silence ourselves, and our bodies pay the price.

In fact, Harvard psychologist Dana Crowley Jack spent decades researching this very pattern. She found that women suffering from depression often shared the same traits: self-silencing, compulsive caretaking, and pleasing others at the expense of themselves. What looks like intimacy on the outside is often disconnection from our bodies on the inside. And studies now link this self-silencing with greater risk of depression, chronic stress, and even physical illness.

Here’s the truth ⬇️
Every emotion is a need. When suppressed, stress builds. When embodied and expressed, cortisol drops, tension releases, and trauma starts releasing.

This is why I created EmbodiPole.

At our studio, we use embodiment, the pole, and sensual movement as medicine:
✨ A space to release, embody, and reclaim every part of you
✨ A community where your voice, your body, and your emotions are celebrated instead of silenced
✨ A path to own your energy and come back to your Wild Feminine

Your body already knows the way back to wholeness. We simply give it the space to remember. 💫
