Myofascial Minute: Prematurity month

11/03/2025

November is Prematurity Awareness Month

To all the families of premature infants:

I see your strength,
I see your tears,
I know it changes you forever,

I see you...

November is Prematurity Awareness Month.

For some, it hits close to home.

Because they know what it’s like to count days instead of weeks.
To celebrate ounces instead of pounds.
To learn words like “NICU,” “CPAP,” and “kangaroo care” before we ever wanted to.

They’ve held tiny hands through incubator walls.
They’ve whispered “keep fighting” more times than we can count.
They’ve learned that strength doesn’t come in size,
it comes in heartbeats that refuse to quit.

To every preemie parent,
to every mom who left the hospital without her baby,
to every dad who sat beside a monitor praying it wouldn’t beep, you are not alone.

And to every warrior who came too soon but fought their way home,
you are proof that miracles exist.

💛 NICU Awareness Month 💛

All four of our amazing kids started life in the NICU (and yes, this grainy photo is one of our warriors). Some days were terrifying, others full of hope — but every moment changed me as a parent.

I remember the separation, the beeping monitors, the oxygen when they forgot to breathe, the hours rocking them in a sterile room instead of home… and the fear that we could lose them.

If you’re a NICU parent — whether it’s been weeks, years, or decades — I see you. I hear you. I’ve walked in those shoes.

To every NICU baby: you are proof of miracles.
To every NICU parent: your strength is unmatched.

🌿 Could Myofascial Release Be the Missing Link for Your Jaw or Bite Issues?

Many people don’t realize that a physical therapist trained in myofascial release can help with jaw pain, bite problems, headaches, and more.

One of my clients came to me after months of discomfort — pain with chewing, poor bite alignment, and frequent headaches. The only next step she’d been offered was a referral to a dental surgeon in the Minneapolis area, with the vague suggestion: “Maybe they can help you.”

Instead of settling for uncertainty, she kept asking questions. An occupational therapist she saw knew a bit about what I offer here at Oasis Wellness, LLC and encouraged her to reach out.

After just three visits:
✨ Her bite is improving
✨ Chewing is more comfortable
✨ Headaches have not returned

She’s now continuing with a personalized home program and will check in as needed to fine‑tune her progress.

💡 The takeaway: Before scheduling surgery or other invasive procedures, consider seeing a John Barnes Trained Myofascial Release therapist. This gentle, whole‑body approach can address the root cause of your symptoms and support your body’s natural healing.

🌿 Clear the Weeds, Clear the Way

Last year, I spent days pulling invasive vines off the trees around our 1.2‑acre property. Left alone, these vines could literally pull big trees down — and they were well on their way.

Fast forward to last weekend: life had gotten busy, summer passed in a blur, and I hadn’t stepped back into my woods. What I found stopped me.

The vines had returned, climbing high and smothering fresh growth.
Beneath them, delicate new sprouts were struggling for light.
And hidden under those thick vines were tiny, threadlike ones — nearly invisible, yet just as destructive.

As I pulled them away, I thought about the other “weeds” in life:
🌑 Negative thoughts that take up mental space.
🗓 Obligations and routines that don’t feel aligned anymore.
🤝 Relationships that drain your energy instead of nurturing it.

Like the vines in my woods, these weeds can:
Limit new growth.
Keep you “small.”
Smother fresh ideas and creativity.
Block you from reaching your potential.

This week, I’m tending both my land and my inner world. I’m pulling out the weeds — roots and all — so they don’t grow back. And I’m remembering this: I am fertile soil. What I allow to grow around me matters.

✨ 20+ Years of Pain — Gone in 5 Weeks ✨ After an injury in 2001, my client spent decades in pain, visiting provider after provider with little improvement. She managed family, business, and life — but always with discomfort and limitations.

When she came to me, she was ready to try something new.
💡 5 focused visits + a simple at-home plan = relief she hadn’t felt in over 20 years.

Today: no pain meds, no daily limitations, and only 2 maintenance visits in the last 7 months.

Her words: “Who knew relief could be so simple.” 💚

If you’ve tried everything, but still feel stuck — maybe it’s time to explore a new approach. Your story could be next. 🌿
