Thank you for sharing your experience with such openness.

Hearing how deeply this work can touch people - physically, emotionally and personally - is something we never take for granted.

MER brings together bodywork, breath, movement, presence, and human connection in a way that creates real experiences people can feel in their bodies, not just understand with the mind.

Every training is shaped by the people who enter the room, the courage they bring, and the willingness to explore something deeper together.

We’re grateful to everyone who continues to be part of this growing community.

Our upcoming trainings are open for booking and we’d love to welcome you.

Many people live in a constant stress response for so long that it starts to feel normal. The body adapts to pressure by tightening, reducing movement, changing breathing patterns, and using energy simply to keep functioning through the day.

This is why healing is rarely about forcing the body to “let go.” In reality, the nervous system changes when it experiences enough safety, support, and regulation.

Deep bodywork works through that principle. Slow, attuned touch can help the system shift out of protection and create the conditions where recovery becomes possible again. Breathing changes, digestion can improve, muscles stop working overtime, and the body has more energy available for repair instead of survival.

The body already knows how to heal. Often, what is missing is the environment that allows that process to happen.

A weekend can shift the way you relate to your body more than months of trying to “figure yourself out” in your head.

This Intro Weekend in London offers a direct experience of Myofascial Energetic Release through breath, touch, movement, emotional awareness, and deep nervous system work. You’ll explore how tension patterns form, how the body adapts to stress, and what starts to change when there is enough support for release and regulation.

Some people come out of curiosity.
Some come because something in them is asking for a different kind of support.
Some come because they’re already practitioners and want to understand the body in a deeper, more connected way.

The atmosphere matters too.
People arrive as strangers and often leave feeling surprisingly connected, grounded, and open.

Most approaches treat tension as something to override.

More pressure. More technique. More effort.
But the body isn't resisting you - it's responding to what it's learned.

Fascia holds those patterns. Not just physical ones. The way you've braced against something, adapted, contracted around an experience - it lives in the tissue, and it affects how you feel, move, and function.

Myofascial Energetic Release works with that layer. You learn to read what's actually happening in the body, understand why it's organized the way it is, and work with the nervous system instead of around it.

This 2-day intro workshop covers the principles and science behind MER, basic hands-on techniques you can apply straight away, and how to support your clients' natural capacity to regulate and heal.

Whether you're expanding an existing practice or just starting - this is a solid foundation to build from.

Your breath is doing more than keeping you alive.

Every time you inhale, your ribcage expands, your spine moves, your shoulders shift, your neck adjusts. It's a full-body event - and when something in that chain is restricted, the rest of the body works around it.

That's where myofascial tension comes in. Fascia - the connective tissue that wraps everything - responds to how you breathe. Shallow breathing, chest bracing, holding the belly in: these aren't just habits. They're patterns that shape how your tissue feels, how you carry yourself, and how your body deals with stress.

A body-reading approach to breath means learning to see this.
Looking at the ribcage - does it expand equally on both sides?
At the neck - are the accessory breathing muscles doing too much?
At the shoulders - are they lifted, braced, involved in every inhale?
At the spine - is there movement, or is it held still?

Once you can read those patterns, you understand a lot more about what's happening underneath.

Where do you notice tension in your own body when you pay attention to your breath?

If this way of working interests you, the MER Inspiration module - Opening the Breath: Thorax & Diaphragm – is what you want. Link in bio.

You take about 25,000 breaths a day.

Most of them are shaped by something other than air - by the way your body has learned to brace, hold back, contract around experience. Over time, those adaptations become the default. The breath gets smaller. The ribcage stops moving fully. The diaphragm does what it can.

In a session, the breath tells you a lot - if you know how to read it.

This module teaches exactly that. You'll learn to assess breathing through body reading of the neck, ribcage, shoulders, and spine. You'll work directly with the muscles involved in breathing - the ones that drive it, and the ones that restrict it. And you'll understand how changes in breath reflect what's happening in the nervous system and in the emotional process.

The diaphragm is not just a breathing muscle. It sits at the boundary of the voluntary and the involuntary - between what we control and what we don't. When it softens, something else shifts too.

Inspiration: Opening the Breath is one module in the MER professional training series with True North Bodywork. Join Ketu in Belgium.

Many people chase “SI Joint pain” in the wrong place.�Often it’s the 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞 around the joint, the 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, fascia, 𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐬, and glute holding — that keeps the pattern stuck.
In this new MER Pain Release Series episode, 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐲𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐢 𝐏𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐧 demonstrates how to locate the 𝐏𝐒𝐈𝐒, release the SI groove with breath-guided strokes, work the piriformis attachments, and finish with a clear 𝐒𝐈 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

For years, bodywork practitioners could see the results.

The nervous system settling, something releasing that had been held for a long time. But explaining 𝑤ℎ𝑦 it happened? That was harder.

Robert Schleip's research has changed that. Science has now confirmed a direct connection between fascia and the nervous system, which means we finally have the language to match what we've been witnessing in the room.

What Schleip's work revealed is that fascia isn't just passive connective tissue holding everything together. It's one of our richest sensory organs involved in proprioception, capable of influencing its own stiffness, and deeply connected to the autonomic nervous system and even our emotional states.

Fascia contains four types of mechanoreceptors - sensory nerve endings that respond to mechanical pressure and tension - and when those receptors are stimulated, they trigger measurable changes in the nervous system, including global muscle relaxation.

Stimulation of these receptors has also been shown to lower sympathetic tone and shift local tissue viscosity. In other words, the nervous system and fascia are in constant conversation.

That matters because being able to explain it - to clients, to students - builds trust and deepens understanding on both sides.
The body has always known. Now the research is catching up.

There’s something really special in this dynamic - you can feel the respect and softness between the two trainers of True North Bodywork.

A strong team isn’t built on skills alone.

It’s built on trust, support, and the space to be fully yourself.

Wrist pain, tingling, numbness the classic signs of 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐩𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥 often come from a lack of 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 in the wrist… and tension further up the chain.
In this new MER Pain Release Series episode, 𝐊𝐞𝐭𝐮 𝐁𝐨 demonstrates how to work the 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐚, soften the wrist structures, and use gentle 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 to support relief and freer hand movement so the 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 can finally breathe.
