Listen to your body and go deeper…

Over the years of doing hands on therapy I have discovered and honed another layer of therapeutic artistry which makes possible even more profound change in both the mind and body. Although great and lasting change is possible from the techniques of Barnes Myofascial Release alone, for those willing to go deeper there are additional horizons of healing available. We can begin to address both structural and emotional issues through the fascial system.

The structural science of fascial anatomy is profound, and was invisible to us until only recently due to inadequate imaging techniques. John taught us to follow our intuition, listen, and allow the body to let go in its own unique way and at its own pace. JFBMFR never forces, and this is because the fascial system is protective in nature and will protest and resist since it believes it is helping the body by creating/sustaining not only structural, but emotional restrictions (like anxiety, insomnia, and triggers) to prevent further injury. The secret is not just to detect and address the fascial restrictions physically, but also to begin to witness, feel and connect with the body's reasoning for creating fascial restrictions in the first place!

I believe that your body/ fascial system has been recording everything that has happened to you since you became sentient in the womb. A common term for this is TISSUE MEMORY. Fascia is the holder of this wisdom and bases its actions and inactions on this accrued knowledge. The intelligent fascial system creates nonlinear holding patterns within to address perceived stresses, both physical and emotional. This is absolutely unique to each person/body, as your experience has been unique. There is no cookie cutter protocol to follow that will provide authentic relief.

Our body, although it may signal pain to you, would never hurt itself. Why would it? There is purpose in pain. It is designed to get your attention and ask you to change something. The fascial system must “feel safe” before it will allow lasting change..What does it take for you to feel safe? Your beautiful, sentient fascia requires the same. It begins with respect, communication and building trust. Allow me to guide you to begin this remarkable and mutually beneficial relationship with your body. It has carried you all this way… can you come to respect and trust each other now?

This is where my therapeutic artistry really shines…After 15+ years of experience, I am able to create a safe, grounded healing space for you to truly begin to listen to what your body is trying to tell you and feel physical changes as they occur. Some call me a body whisperer. I am only hearing a language you have yet to learn. Let me teach you how to work in cadence with your body structurally and through the intelligence and sentience of your fascial system. I work with you, not on you. I will help you hear your fascial voice, uncover your unique holding patterns and the reasoning behind them, and to co-create lasting change with your lifelong companion and confidante, your fascial system. Ideally you two can sail off into the sunset together in mutually respectful harmony. Let's get started! LEARN MORE>>
