We live in a world where trauma is experienced by everyone. People have accidents, loved ones die, violence and abuse surround many people’s lives, many struggle with financial burdens and have accumulated debt . . .others experience trauma in family or schools resulting from being bullied, called names or feeling left out. Trauma can have…
I have learned so much about the fascia by observing the patterns found in nature. To be able to “see” the way the body changes with time makes sense when you compare it to what you see in the natural world. For example, I have learned so much about the way fascia freezes and thaws…
I remember when I was a kid and learned that at some point, we die. Prior to that moment, I believed (and who knows where this came from), that we age to 100 years old, then we start getting younger. The realization came when my mom mentioned that her cousin had passed, which totally threw…
It’s time to celebrate our first place winner of the 30 Day Upper Body Challenge – Wendy Elmore!!!I love it when life surprises me. It’s that magical feeling that happens when the unexpected pops right in your face. This is literally what happened when I saw Wendy’s before and after pictures of her face!!! To…
There is nothing like learning from experience. When information is gained through living the consequence of action in your own body, knowledge turns to wisdom. This is what I love about teaching fascia decompression – you are both the teacher and the student in the practice. I remember this one incident when I had a…

Pain is a great example as we have been conditioned into viewing this signal from the body as something to mask, cover up and avoid. Obviously,…
There are so many big-hearted people in my life that I see taking on other people’s burdens. I can spot them easily because I used to be one of them — the person that absorbs the problems of another. I did this in the treatment room both physically and energetically when working on bodies, as…
Beauty is defined as the quality of a thing or person that gives deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory manifestations (as shape, color, sound, etc.), a meaningful design or pattern, or something else (as a personality in which high spiritual qualities are manifest). This sounds like a state of being that would…
Your body is made to move, and walking is one of the most natural things you can do. When you have no pain and good endurance, it is such a joyous activity. However, when you have pain or struggle with your breath, even the shortest distances can feel like a burden. When I was struggling…
