When stress lives in your body, resilient relief starts from within.
Start training the inner structure of your body today.
When your body holds onto stress or pain, strategies like exercise, therapy, or medicine only go so far because they don’t change how your body & mind work with pressure.
For many people, that means doing all the “right” things and still feeling stuck. Not because something is wrong with them, but because they were never taught how to train the inner structure connecting their mind & body.
Functional Energy Movement™ (FEM) is a meditation-based movement practice that offers resilient relief by strengthening your inner structure and allowing your body & mind to work together, so stress and pain become opportunities for growth rather than problems to solve.
Instead of chasing quick fixes, FEM helps you build the creative adaptability that supports lasting peace from within.

How FEM works
Your inner structure is the system of sensations, emotions, and tensions that connects your mind & body, and shapes how stress lives in you.
FEM trains this inner structure through simple mindful movement practices that develop nervous system stability, somatic postural alignment, and creative adaptability.
Together, these capacities teach your body & mind how to cooperate and recover stronger from stress or pain - building resilient relief from within.
FEM is…
-
You practice a lot of self-care but still feel stuck
You feel stress or emotional pain in your body but don’t always have words for it
You’re tired of being told your struggle is “in your head”
You sense there’s a deeper inner journey calling you
You want to grow emotionally and relationally, not just manage symptoms
You want to let go of the belief that something’s wrong with you and needs to be fixed
-
You’re looking for quick fixes rather than practices that build lasting change.
You can’t invest time and energy into yourself.
You only want symptom relief and not holistic growth.
You’re not open to exploring the ways you’re keeping yourself stuck.
You’re not open to processing the institutional, ancestral, or environmental dimensions of your stress or trauma

About Nicky
Nicky Macaluso
somatic therapist, LMT
Nicky is the creator of Functional Energy Movement™.
Since 2010, he’s been studying and practicing somatics, medical massage, energy medicine, trauma-informed meditation, neuroplastic pain rehab, mindfulness movement, sports medicine, and numerous other healing modalities to holistically support those living with chronic stress & pain.
His professional path into this work became personal after his oldest brother died in 2017. Despite years of training in mental, physical, and spiritual practices, he realized real healing only happened when he learned to feel into and work with himself from within. By deepening his relationship with himself, he was then able to connect more deeply to the people and environments around him. That insight became the foundation of FEM: a way to train the inner structure of yourself for personal and interpersonal healing.
Nicky teaches from a place of refusing to believe anyone needs to be healed, and made normal. Nicky is known for listening deeply and supporting people’s journey towards living in harmony with themselves and their environment.
