despite collective abandonment and effective propaganda, the pandemic is ongoing. COVID continues to kill and maim people as it spreads unmitigated worldwide. these are books crucial to the study of the public health realities we’re up against as eugenics and fascism escalate - from disability justice to science communication to social movement histories.

i’m a massage therapist by trade, obsessed with the growing body of research around trauma, fascia, and the role of somatics in whole-self healing. some of these selections are more hard science based, some memoir, and some more ‘woo-woo’ - but all of them are informing my thinking around bodywork for myself and my clients.

Non-fiction books about health and how our body works, from anatomy to mental health, from healing to studying medicine. 😷 [Note: Some of these books might be controversial or resonate with some more than with others. Pick and choose what works for YOU. :)] Recommendations welcome

Mostly nonfiction books written by current and former journalists.

some of my favorite books I've read to create my own baseline of feeling good to deal with the dumpster fire the world can be.
