Hello My Dear Ones,

In keeping up to date with all available information regarding limiting the potential spread of Covid19, my practice, Inner Light MFR, is now and will be closed for the next 2 weeks. To those I have connected with about this already, thank you for your understanding and agreement that proactively approaching this is our best defense.

My dearest clients, you are all deeply important to me, and your health, happiness and wellbeing is always my utmost concern. We know well the incredible healing benefits of MFR, and we will resume our progress together asap. And to those who are considering treatment, now is a great time to call, email or connect here with me about how I can help you heal the "issues in your tissues" in the future.

So please reach out with any questions or concerns, and also to keep in touch about how you are being affected, as well. It's so important to know none of us are alone, in this matter, or any other. Let's keep holding one another in the light, staying as informed and safe as possible, and taking the best of care of ourselves and each other.

All My Love And Light,
Kaari

From a wonderful client who wanted to share:

"I have been a dental hygienist for 39 years and I have tried everything to relieve the tightness and pain in my neck and shoulders. Chiropractor, acupuncture, physical therapy all helped some but I still couldn’t work in my garden in the summer because leaning forward was so painful. I finally decided to try Myofascial Release, and this is the first summer in years that I have worked in my garden with no pain. Kaari is amazing, I can feel her gently coaxing my fascia to let my muscles release and relax. Everyone would definitely benefit from her therapeutic touch." Nancy F.
.. I LOVE what I get to do!!
Let me know how I can help you ...

From a wonderful client who wanted to share:

"After my knee replacement surgery my ability to bend my knee was slow to improve even though I faithfully did my prescribed exercises twice a day. Myofascial release therapy with Kaari has helped increase my degree of knee bend and decrease my knee and low back pain." Teresa
.. I love what I get to do!

From a wonderful client who wanted to share!

"I went to Kaari, trying to deal with fibromyalgia and arthritis. I was in so much pain for so many years. I have tried PT, acupuncture, and of course, my MD. I have now had a number of sessions with Kaari. With almost all sessions I have noticed some kind of effects; tingling, burning, pulling. Nothing is unpleasant or forceful, just a noticeable difference in how it previously felt.

One incident in particular, I had overstretched and bent my hand to scratch an itch. I felt an explosion of pain in my hand and wrist. It was severe enough I went to Urgent Care. There were no breaks, but I had lost all strength in the hand and forearm.
I had an appointment with Kaari five days after this incident. For an hour she gently manipulated my hand and wrist. I felt pulling and tingling in my whole arm, my shoulder joint and in even a tingling into my scapula. It was amazing!

I had been advised by Urgent Care to keep it elevated, so I did for about a week, using the brace off and on that they provided. Now, a month later, I have full use of that hand and arm, a fuller range of motion, and my shoulder joint is no longer painful. I had an arthritic, tender lump developing on that wrist, and now it is gone. During that session, I felt like cords in my forearm moving. The wrist is stilll sore, but totally usable.

I think myofascial release is a wonderful solution for my fibromyalgia. It doesn't make it go away, but makes me able to deal with the pain and function better." - LGK

I absolutley love what I get to do! Let me know when I can "help you heal the issues in your tissues", with Myofascial Release, too!

... an illustration describing fascia as a "tapestry of tugs" ...

Of course, it is so much more than that and affects us in myriad ways!

Fascia loves the gentle sustained pressure and melting of Myofasical Release! So get your "net of tensions" to let go with JFB MFR!

Fascia holds you all together like an organic hairnet. Fascia is your friend.

.. I love what I get to do! Here's a quote that makes my day!

"Being an active individual I was experiencing sciatic nerve pain that was interfering with my active life style. Following various approaches that brought little relief, a friend referred me to Kaari and myofascial release therapy.

Through Kaari’s care, my sciatic nerve pain is gone. Plus I have been able to resume my full activity schedule once again." Craig (age 64)

Myofascial Release through the John F. Barnes Approach is what I do. Can I help you, or someone you know who could use some MFR, too ... ? Looking forward to hearing from you soon, and returning you to the life you deserve!

Here is a photo of a quote from John F Barnes. He was intereviewed by Jenna Lee Babin who worked as an anchorwoman and has started her own news platform SmartHerNews.com. In a discussion of the media stories about the "newly discovered" organ, she was excited to get an exclusive quote from JFB on the subject! Click on the link below and then you can click on the sunglasses to flip through the story briefly. But it's best to scroll through the full story to see John's full quote.

"First, it is beautiful, and I wanted to share this beauty of the living matter ... it's beautiful. You have colors ... you have red, yellow, blue, sometimes green ... it's beautiful. "

This is a quote by Dr. JC Guimberteau talking about Fascia. You may begin to hear the word "interstitium" talked about now, as some scientists are calling it the newest organ to be found in the human body. This is actually not "new" news.

John Barnes has known this since the 1970s about Fascia and has been treating and teaching ever since, knowing that the science would one day catch up with him. And it did when Dr. G saw it and published a DVD in 2005 entitled "Strolling Under The Skin". He is a French plastic surgeon who became interested in how it was possible for the hands to possess such fine motor coordination. So, with the permission of his patients and his endoscope capable of viewing on the micro-level. he went looking for it, and he found it. Here he is talking about seeing fascia for the first time, and the quote from above is his first feelings upon observing it ... "it's beautfiul".

This is what we treat with John F. Barnes Myofascial Release every day ... we truly are beautiful, inside and out! And fully capable of healing from pain and trauma ... the Fascia is the key.
