Placing healing in your hands — LITERALLY.

Comment RENEWAL for more info

Truth is, there’s very little reliable guidance on releasing fascia at home.
The most common questions we hear:
“Where can I find someone near me who does this?”
“How can I help myself, my child, or my spouse at home?”
That’s exactly why we created SOMA Renewal — to give you tools to release tension, restore balance, and understand your body in ways you can actually apply.

Most resources focus only on chemistry (supplements, diets, labs). But your body isn’t just chemistry. It’s also mechanics (fascia, structure, movement) & emotions (patterns we hold onto, often without realizing).

SOMA Renewal gives you a multifaceted approach: practical fascial releases you can use at home, combined with organ health insights & emotional connections — helping your body shift in ways that last.

This is not a replacement for hands-on care, but a powerful complement. A way to finally feel like your health is in your own hands.

Inside the course, we’ll guide you to:
-Connect the dots between mechanics, chemistry, & emotions.
-Release fascial tension that affects organs, digestion, breathing, & energy.
-Understand how unresolved emotions live in your body — and how to gently shift them.
-Feel confident using simple self-releases/reflexes whenever you need them.
-Finally feel empowered to participate in your healing, instead of chasing one-off fixes.

When you join, you’ll get:
-Organ-by-organ modules — fascia, organ function, & emotions.
-Guided videos — step-by-step self-releases.
-A self-evaluation quiz for starting.
-Downloadable tools & PDFs
-Private FB group for your ?s

Why this course is different:
Most holistic programs focus only on chemistry. We take a multifaceted approach that blends:
Mechanics→ fascia, organ position, & body structure.
Chemistry→ nutrition & metabolic links.
Emotions→ hidden patterns behind tension & exhaustion.
By integrating all three, you achieve lasting change.

Created by a clinical physician with 7+ years of practice & hundreds of hours of study across multiple healing modalities — Dr. Jake distills the most effective, practical releases you can do at home.

FIRST, save this to come back again!

Your stomach’s job is simple: take in and process what you give it. But when emotions like worry, disgust, obsession, despair, nervousness, egotism, or feeling stifled build up, they can interfere. Overthinking and rumination (shared with the Spleen) often show up in the stomach as knots, bloating, or heaviness. These emotions tighten the diaphragm and surrounding fascia, leaving the stomach bound from the inside out.

Fascia and ligaments also hold the stomach in place, allowing it to expand and glide with each breath. When these supports stiffen, or when scars and adhesions form, the stomach can feel trapped, leading to fullness, bloating, ribcage pressure, or sharp pulling pains. Even the valves at the top and bottom — where food enters and exits — rely on fascial freedom. Tension here can cause reflux, heartburn, delayed emptying, nausea, or belching.

Fascia isn’t just mechanical; it’s rich with nerves connected to the autonomic nervous system. Tight fascia in the diaphragm, abdominal wall, or spine can overstimulate sympathetic activity or interfere with parasympathetic signals, reducing blood flow to the stomach, slowing digestion, and intensifying that “tight, knotted” sensation you notice when anxious or stressed.

Both emotions and fascial tension can combine to restrict the stomach’s movement and comfort. This is why you may feel bloated, heavy, or knotted even if you haven’t eaten much — it’s not just what’s in your stomach, it’s how your body is holding it.

More on what’s happening**↓**

But first, don’t forget to save this & FOLLOW us!

Your adrenal glands sit like little caps on your kidneys, tucked inside a snug connective tissue pocket called fascia. They’re not floating on their own — they’re anchored to surrounding fascia, vessels, & nerves. Any restriction in this network can directly affect how they function.

One of the biggest influences is the diaphragm. Its strong tendinous “legs,” called crura, attach to the spine. In front of them lie major nerve hubs — the celiac plexus and aorticorenal ganglia. These act like control centers for stress, triggering adrenaline release almost instantly & influencing pathways that drive cortisol. When the diaphragm or its fascia tightens, those nerve hubs can get irritated, leaving the adrenals stuck in “go mode.”

Restricted fascia also affects circulation. Normally, the diaphragm’s rhythm helps pump blood & lymph around the adrenal area, clearing waste & nourishing tissues. But when fascia stiffens, this natural motion is blunted. The glands can become more congested & less resilient.

Over time, constant tension & poor fluid movement create a stress loop. Some people feel wired & anxious, while others eventually crash with fatigue & low stress tolerance.

Good news is, fascia is adaptable. It can become fluid and springy again, which will lessen nerve irritation, improve fluid flow, & give the adrenals space to reset.

The kidneys don’t sit still…

Both your kidneys move slightly with each breath as the diaphragm drops. This motion supports circulation of blood & lymph so the kidneys can filter waste effectively. If fascia around the diaphragm, low back, or kidney itself becomes restricted, that glide is reduced. Over time, limited motion slows fluid exchange & creates congestion or a dull ache in the flank.
Fascial tension can also influence how urine drains. The ureters, which carry urine to the bladder, run along the psoas muscle. When its fascia is restricted, it can tug on or press the ureters, slowing flow & contributing to backup or stone formation.
The nerves that regulate fascia in the low back overlap with those that control the kidneys. When restricted fascia sends constant stress signals through these pathways, the kidney responds by tightening its blood vessels & holding more salt & water. This protective response, useful in short bursts, can elevate blood pressure & strain tissues if ongoing.
Fear intensifies this loop. In moments of fear, the brain releases adrenaline & the kidneys release renin. Together they raise blood pressure & conserve fluid through the renin–angiotensin system. At the same time, fear alters posture & breathing — the diaphragm moves less, the abdomen & back brace, & fascia becomes even more restricted. This combination adds both chemical & mechanical stress on the kidneys.
Over time the cycle sustains itself: fear restricts fascia, restricted fascia irritates nerves, nerves stress the kidney, & the kidney retains fluid & raises pressure. The body interprets these signals as ongoing threat, reinforcing the sense of fear & keeping the loop active unless something interrupts it.

Why this MATTERS🤓↓

Research over the past two decades from fascia scientists such as Robert Schleip, Carla Stecco, and others has shown that fascial tissue is far more than an active then we ever knew. Fascia has sensory capacity.

When histologists have examined certain fascial structures (like the thoracolumbar fascia, iliotibial band, plantar fascia, and joint capsules), they’ve found a much higher density of mechanoreceptors than in the contractile muscle fibers the fascia envelops. These receptors include Ruffini endings (slow-adapting stretch sensors), Pacinian corpuscles (vibration and rapid pressure sensors), Golgi-like tendon organ receptors (tension detectors), and a vast network of free nerve endings that can transmit pain and subtle changes in tissue tension.

In some places, the density of proprioceptors in fascia has been measured at 6–10 times greater per unit area than that of muscle tissue. This means fascia can provide the central nervous system with a rich and more nuanced stream of information about body position, movement, and internal tension. This finding is especially relevant in movement coordination, balance, and postural control. It’s not just MUSCLES that “tell the brain” where the body is; fascia is a critical player.

In practical terms, this high receptor density means that fascial health directly affects proprioception. Restrictions, adhesions, or chronic tension patterns in fascia can degrade sensory feedback, which impacts coordination, stability, and pain perception.

It’s worth noting that not all fascia is equally endowed with sensory nerve endings. Load-bearing, movement-integrating fascial sheets (such as the thoracolumbar fascia) tend to be highly innervated, while thin, gliding fascia between muscle layers may have fewer receptors. Still, we should be consider fascia to be a major sensory organ.

The kidneys are vital for filtering toxins from the body, especially those present in fluid form. They also play a critical role in managing the body’s fluid balance and regulating electrolytes. Fear is a symptom of kidney dysfunction or fascial tension in the area.

If you’ve got any of the signs from the slides or these indications below, our upcoming course will show you how to heal. We are teaching targeted fascial release, supplemental support, and more!

Common signs of kidney issues include:

- Persistent or unexplained feelings of fear
- Chronic dehydration
- Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
- Fluid retention, particularly in the legs or midsection
- Pain or cramping in the flanks or mid-to-low back (also seen with adrenal strain)
- Frequent or very infrequent urination
- Cold hands and feet, or general vascular issues
- Waking up at night often to urinate
- Rashes and muscle cramps

You may also notice tension in your sides between your ribs and hip bones (oblique area), or tightness inside the pelvic bowl (just inside the broad hip bones).

Clinically you may elevated blood pressure—especially the **diastolic** (second) number. Lab work could reveal elevated BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) or creatinine levels.
