Fascia! You've heard me talk about it. When I slow down during a massage and connect deeply with your body, I'm connecting to the fascia. There's still some debate about pronunciation, but most healing professions pronounce it as "fāh-sha".

At its most basic level, fascia is connective tissue. It is a structural network that holds muscles to bone, supports organ placement, and its dysfunctions - like inflammation and adhesions - are a major source of pain. When you feel a "knot," that's fascia. When you're stretching your hamstrings and feel restriction, that's fascia too. Your muscles and nerves are affected by blockages and adhesions in this massive, tensile system.

When I work your neck and you feel a release in your low back - that's fascia letting go and becoming more fluid again. When you wake up and your neck can't move - that's fascia restricting your movements.

Another magical aspect of fascia - it holds emotions. It works hand in hand with your nervous system. When you're stressed and that spot near your shoulder blade pulls and aches, that's emotional tension being stored, which has a direct impact on your stress response within your nervous system. I can often sense the emotions your body has trapped within that space. If you're ever curious, feel free to ask! I'll always find a way to describe what I notice.

Because of this magical material, even intentional breath work can help release the emotions keeping fascia restricted.

Now, as for bodywork - the amazing thing about fascia is that it responds most to the subtle. I know deep pressure feels good! But gentle, light, intentional work is often the most effective way to connect with this diverse, stretchy, intelligent layer.

This work is subtle but powerful. If you're ready to experience it, I'm here! Book your session or reach out with any questions.

Stop calling it your "bad" arm!

I hear it all the time: "My bad knee", "My bad shoulder," "My bad back." But here's the truth - your body isn't bad. It's just trying to function with restrictions, weakness, or old patterns that need support. Much like neural pathways in the brain, established patterns also occur in muscle and fascia - that connective tissue holding us all together. The way you pick up your groceries is the way you've always picked up your groceries. The way you get in your car is the way you've always gotten in your car. Change it up a little, and watch what happens! Words - and movements - matter!!

Your body is listening to you. Much the same as a toddler who is given a hard time for making toddler appropriate mistakes. Your muscles and tissues and bones need to be guided, gently supported, and loved unconditionally.

Instead of fighting against your body, what if you listened to it? What if you worked with it? I can help you do that - by finding where you need release, where you need strength, and where your body needs extra care.

Your body isn't bad, it's amazing! Look what we can do with it, it's extraordinary!! It just needs support. Let's work together - book your next session today.
