✨ I always say to my clients, "Stretching is GOLD" ✨
Just 5 minutes of stretching a day can completely change how your body feels. I know if I skip my morning stretching and yoga that there is a noticeable difference of how I move through my day 🌿

Those few simple minutes can:
✔️ Increase your energy
✔️ Reduce aches and stiffness
✔️ Improve circulation
✔️ Help your body move with ease
✔️ Set the tone for a better, more comfortable day

Stretching wakes up your muscles, tells your nervous system it’s safe to relax, and helps prevent pain before it starts. It’s one of the simplest forms of self-care and it’s completely free.

Pair daily stretching with regular massage, and you give your body the support it needs to heal & recharge ✨

A Body Artisan is not a title you claim. It is something that awakens in you.

When people ask me about the “plural” of Body Artisan, I smile because it has never been about grammar for me. It has always been about belonging. A Body Artisan is anyone who steps into this work with reverence for the human body and curiosity for the stories it carries. It is someone who can feel beauty inside anatomy, who listens to tissue the way others listen to music, who understands that healing is both art and science braided together.

You become a Body Artisan the moment you begin to see the body as more than structure, when fascia becomes a language, when breath becomes a doorway. When touch becomes a form of witnessing. When you understand that technique is only the starting point, and that presence shapes the outcome.

Those who train with us carry this way of seeing into their hands. They learn to work with emotion, with science, with nervous system states, with the deep intelligence of the tissues. But even those who simply resonate with this path, who feel called to the artistry of healing, are artisans in their own right. Because this work is not a membership, it is a remembering.

The plural of Body Artisan is every soul who chooses to practice the healing arts with intention, compassion, and devotion. It is a community of people who believe the body is sacred, that touch is transformative, and that beauty belongs in every part of the healing experience.

So when I say “Body Artisans,” I mean you. I mean all of us. The artists of the human form. The quiet keepers of breath, fascia, and the nervous system. The ones who hold space for transformation with both skill and heart.

We are many. And together, we are creating something extraordinary - The Body Artisans Facebook.

The River and the Riverbed: The Lymphatic Myofascial Relationship.

The body is not made of separate parts, no matter how many textbooks try to divide it. It is one continuous conversation. One river system. One woven landscape of structure, fluid, memory, and sensation. Nowhere is this more beautifully seen than in the relationship between the fascia and the lymphatic system.

Fascia is not simply connective tissue. It is the body’s inner forest floor, the soft earth through which everything grows and travels. It holds more sensory nerve endings than the muscles themselves. It houses the interstitium, a vast fluid reservoir now recognized as one of the largest “organs” by volume. It creates the very terrain through which lymph must move.

Lymph is the traveler, the cleansing tide, the quiet river that removes waste, regulates immunity, transports nutrients, and responds instantly to inflammation or injury. But lymph does not move on its own. It depends on movement, breath, pressure changes, and the softness of the tissues it flows through. Its vessels sit embedded inside the fascial layers, anchored to the very fibers that bodyworkers stretch, melt, warm, and free.

This is why these systems cannot be separated. This is why fascial lymphatic flow works. The Long Method is my favorite technique taught by Katrina Gubler Long.

When fascia becomes dense or dehydrated, the interstitial fluid thickens, pressure gradients collapse, and lymphatic capillaries cannot properly open and close. Imagine trying to push water through a dry, compacted sponge. The lymph has nowhere to go. Post-surgical clients feel this acutely. Trauma, inflammation, surgical scarring, or immobility cause the fascial planes to lose their slide, which in turn traps swelling, slows immune function, and increases pain.

But when we touch fascia with slow, intentional, directional work, something extraordinary happens. Mechanotransduction, the cells' response to mechanical pressure, shifts the behavior of fibroblasts and immune cells. Collagen fibers begin to reorganize. Hyaluronic acid changes viscosity. The interstitial fluid becomes less stagnant. The tissue warms, hydrates, and begins to breathe again. And the lymphatic system, finally uncompressed, begins to move with ease.

You cannot restore lymph flow without changing the landscape it flows through. You cannot free swelling without freeing the structures that hold it. You cannot separate the river from the riverbank.

This is not guesswork. It is anatomy.

The superficial lymphatic system lives in the loose areolar fascia, a layer designed to glide. The deep lymphatic system lies within the deep fascia surrounding muscle compartments. When these gliding surfaces stiffen, every lymph vessel tethered to them loses its ability to pump. This is why many clients feel more relief with fascial lymphatic flow than with lymphatic work alone. We are restoring the architecture that lymph depends on.

In post-surgical care, this becomes especially profound. Scar tissue alters glide. Protective guarding increases fascial tension and non-pitting edema forms when fluid becomes trapped in thickened interstitium. Traditional lymph work is essential, but fascia must also be addressed for complete restoration. A gentle fascial approach honors the lymphatic system's delicacy while creating the space it needs to travel.

This is not breaking tradition. This completes the picture.

Some may challenge this perspective, but the body does not argue. It responds. It softens. It drains. It heals. Thousands of therapists have seen swelling reduce, pain decrease, and mobility return when these systems are treated together. Because fascia and lymph are not separate entities. They are partners; two halves of one healing intelligence.

To work the fascia is to prepare the riverbed. To work the lymph is to free the river. Together, they create a landscape where healing becomes possible again.

For the bodyworkers who feel this truth in your hands, keep listening. The body is always teaching us how interconnected it really is.

The Hidden Ecosystem Under Your Skin

There is a reason people look at the branching currents of fascia and think of mycelium, the great underground network that carries information through the forest floor. They feel similar long before you know the science. Both look like living constellations. Both listen. Both respond. Both exist not as separate parts, but as unified systems devoted to connection.

Inside the human body, fascia forms a continuous web of collagen and fluid that wraps every muscle fiber, every organ, every vessel, every nerve. It is the only system that touches everything. When you zoom in under a microscope, fascia reveals delicate branching fibers that look astonishingly like fungal hyphae. When you zoom out, it behaves like a communication network, transmitting mechanical, electrical, and chemical signals across the entire body.

Beneath the earth, mycelium creates the “Wood Wide Web,” an underground communication system that allows forests to behave like a single, intelligent organism. Mycelium can transfer nutrients to weaker trees, warn neighbors of pests, regulate moisture, and maintain the health of the entire ecosystem. The network thrives on conductivity, hydration, and collaboration. It is not simply fungal tissue. It is a relationship embodied.

This is where science and metaphor meet.

Fascia conducts electrical signals via mechanotransduction, converting pressure and stretch into cellular signals that ripple outward. Mycelium transmits electrochemical pulses across long distances. Both systems coordinate responses faster than conscious processing. Both store memory. Both change their density and responsiveness in response to stress, environment, and hydration.

Fascia thickens and stiffens under emotional load, exactly the way a forest mycelial network becomes denser under threat. Fascia softens when safety returns, just as fungal networks increase nutrient sharing when a forest is thriving. Fascia maps experience, trauma, and recovery in its matrix. Mycelium maps seasons, storms, and regeneration across its vast web.

Humans are not separate from nature; we are built with its patterns.

When we touch fascia, we are not just altering tissue. We are restoring communication within an internal ecosystem. We are helping a body remember that its parts belong to each other. Through slow pressure, traction, breath, and presence, we help the signals move again. This is why fascial work can shift emotional states, restore fluid movement, and awaken tissues that have gone silent. We are rehydrating the network. We are clearing blocked pathways. We are giving the body back its forest-like clarity.

The deeper science is even more beautiful. Fascia contains more sensory nerve endings than muscles or joints. It senses vibration like a tuning fork. It transmits mechanical forces like an internal tide. It carries subtle electrical currents that influence how cells behave. In many ways, it behaves like biological mycelium, a distributed intelligence that monitors and adjusts the whole.

And just as a forest thrives when every tree is connected, the human body thrives when fascia glides freely, breath moves fully, and the nervous system feels safe enough to soften its grip.

As bodyworkers, we are the caretakers of this inner landscape. We listen for places where the network has gone quiet. We hydrate the dry fascial riverbeds with movement, warmth, and mindful pressure. We help reconnect the body’s communication pathways so the person lying on the table can feel themselves again, not just physically, but emotionally and intuitively.

The body is not a machine. It is a living ecosystem. A forest of sensation. A mycelial web of memory and meaning. A world that speaks through its fascia the way the earth speaks through its roots.

And when we honor it this way, with curiosity, science, artistry, and reverence, the whole system begins to heal.
