Today was such a great day that I had to share a little bit about it with you all. From a new client's excitement to learn about fascia to client's sharing their stories with our new student it all made me burst with gratitude. I am so humbled to be part of people's lives and their journey to wellness. I'm hoping this episode will encourage you to keep learning the science and take students so you can teach them too.

In this episode I discuss the outcome of our latest Fascia-Informed Therapist Meetings and Mentorship Group. We discussed a wide variety of topics relevant to so many practice settings. I believe when you're learning to apply new concepts, having other practitioners where you can bounce ideas off of and learn from is invaluable! I want to offer this opportunity to every practitioner interested in applying the science of fascia to their practice.

Join me as I discuss a question that has come up from practitioners in traditional settings. Their client is having acute pain or recently had a surgery. Can they use myofascial release techniques? I say yes but there are few things to consider. Safety is ALWAYS first.
As always, thank you for listening! Join our newsletter too!

Join me for this episode as I share why I wanted to discuss this topic that affects nearly half of ALL the adults in the United States. I believe we have a role to play in helping with this epidemic. Fascia to the rescue. Now, there are many reasons why someone can have high BP and fixing your fascia is NOT a cure all, but I think it has an important role to play. As always, more research is needed but I'll share what I could find and why I think we can help.

In this episode I discuss why I created the Fascia-Informed Woman course and all the great information inside the course. Every woman who is considering starting a new fitness routine should start with this course! Why? The goal in most fitness programs is to build muscle which is incredibly important, but when fascia surrounds every muscle group, individual muscle and even every muscle fiber we must consider the health of the fascia before we get started. We also cover the importance of posture, joint mobility and stability and many other topics that should be considered BEFORE jumping into a new exercise program. Creating a healthy foundation will create more success and help prevent injuries. Find this public-facing course here: Creating a Foundation for Fitness in Women 45+: A fascia informed
