The definition of exercise is activity requiring physical effort, carried out to sustain or improve health and fitness. I would assume that for most if not all of us, this is the reason that we put aside time and space in our lives for this – to make improvements. However, for many, exercise doesn’t always…
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…
Like a baby crying, pain is the cell letting you know it needs attention. It is interesting how we have been indoctrinated into beliefs that don’t serve our highest good. 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…
When it comes to digestion, is it more important to focus on what we eat, or how we eat?The health of your body is largely dependent on what you do all the time. Patterns of movement and behaviors add up to create the posture that you have, and this will largely determine the flow of…
Doing the work was a magical experience. As I had minimized any contact with animals over the years, I simply loved them from a distance. I would see how much my sister loved her dogs as her children and could appreciate it intellectually but hadn’t had the first-hand experience of the depth of pureness that…
Just like people, animal’s cells are also bound by their fascia system. For years I have been wanting to create a program that people could do for their pets, but I was waiting for the appropriate partner to work with – I needed a vet. 18 months ago, I joined a group – The Holistic…
When the body falls from correct alignment, there is a bunching of fascia that gets in the way of optimal range of motion – compression. There needs to be space for flow – if tissue or anything else gets in the way of that space, there is obstruction to ease – thereby creating dis-ease. The…
I began teaching this to several therapists which really helped to create the language around it. Especially when you have been taught to view the body in a specific way and learn to approach tissue from that perspective, to see it differently can initially be a stretch. I don’t differentiate between the different parts of…
When I first began understanding the immense beauty and connection of fascia, I was focused on the human body. I was awakened to how this system connects all cells first in my own body, with my hands. As I dove into my tissue, I could feel the flow, and how the grooves were created between…
