In this episode, I reflect on key lessons from a recent business conference that highlighted the growing need for authenticity in the age of AI. I open up about my personal struggles with confidence and staying true to myself while marketing my courses. Join me as I explore what authenticity really means, the challenges of vulnerability, and how I’m learning to balance my unique voice with the tools of modern technology.

This episode is just some musings about the words we use to describe techniques to target the fascia. Are we doing what we say we're doing?

I follow many different types of practitioners and business leaders online. I love to read books by people inside and outside of my field. One of the people I follow online made a post about the Enthusiast Model and it came at time I really needed it. Listen and learn more!

I recently had a conversation with a very critical thinking practitioner who brought up that fascia and myofascial release has so much stigma associated with it.  This made her hesitant to learn about it. In this podcast I expand on the conversation we had because I know she's not the only out there thinking this way. Practitioners approach me quite frequently with this concern. I hope to change the stigma around fascia with an evidence-based approach. Learn about the system first, then decided about which techniques you want to learn. That is a Fascia-Informed approach!

Cupping is an ancient art that has been reimagined, rebranded and integrated into many modern traditional and non-traditional practices. I started using cupping a few years ago after receiving it from another practitioner and I find it very helpful. Many of my clients love to have cupping integrated into their treatment sessions. Join me as I review some literature and give you more information about how you might use cupping in your practice!  The Fascia-Informed Therapist ™ - Grounded in science.

Another conversation with a client that made me think. Stress is something that is pervasive in our culture and often can affect the fascia quite significantly. Many people are still not very open to meditation, yoga, therapy or other less invasive ways of dealing with stress. Many people still believe that stress has nothing to do with the pain they feel and that the mind and the body are not an intricately connected as they are. This client had an experience with muscle relaxers that opened her mind to how much stress actually does affect the body. The Fascia-Informed Therapist ™ - Grounded in science.

Complicated homework or habit awareness? Maybe both. Join me as I share more ideas for helping your clients understand how fascia plays a role in their experience of pain and the power they have to change!

My clients are always teaching me how to do better. In this episode I share some strategies I use when communicating with clients especially when it comes to following recommendations for homework. Hopefully you'll pick up some ideas you can use too!

If you haven't already noticed, fascia has become a buzzword in the beauty industry. Creams, oils, and tools are on the market. Some may be of real help while others may be just capitalizing on the unrealistic beauty expectations places on women of all ages. Don't get me started. If you are a provider who spends repeated sessions with clients, they begin to confide in us and trust us to answer their questions. I had a client ask a question about a product she saw and I'm very glad she asked.

Kaitlyn and I, along with a special guest who attended the Breast and Chest Workshop discuss why we created it and how it went. We hope you'll consider creating something similar. It is so needed!
