Our Wholistic, Mind-Body Approach to Physical and Emotional Wellness:
Myofascial Release Therapy
Myofascial Release is a safe, gentle and extremely effective hands-on therapy which uses specialized stretching, compression, and cranial techniques to eliminate pain, restore movement and function, and relieve both physical and emotional stress. Even problems that have been present for decades can be effectively addressed.
Myofascial release is more than just pain relief - it touches people deeply and helps them get in touch with the essence of who they are at their core. Developed by physical therapist John F. Barnes over 40 years ago, it has helped millions of people around the world eliminate pain, restore function, and increase joy and vitality.
Somatic Life Coaching
Somatic life coaching is a powerful mind-body based healing art which, like myofascial release, touches the core of who we are and transforms us at a very deep level. It helps release the old, unconscious patterns and unhealthy belief systems that keep us stuck and hold us back emotionally, physically, professionally, and spiritually.
And when we release those old blockages, we free up all the energy that was stuck and wasted. We can then take that energy and redirect it towards what we really want, making space in our lives to create more satisfaction, joy and vitality than we ever thought possible.
Somatic life coaching can be done on its own or in conjunction with myofascial release therapy. Combination packages can be created to suit your individual needs and therapeutic goals.
The Therapeutic Combination: Why Is It So Effective?
- The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Myofascial Release and Somatic Life Coaching work together synergistically to create rapid transformation and healing. Both are powerful approaches on their own and can be done separately. They can also be combined in unique ways to support each individual's needs.
- Coaching helps set the stage for effective Myofascial Release by teaching you how to really feel into your body and connect to its wisdom. This builds "body intelligence" and self-awareness which are essential for authentic healing, greatly accelerating your progress with Myofascial Release.
- Myofascial Release accesses tension and trauma held deep in the body on a physical, non-verbal level and supports emotional work in a way that talk therapy alone cannot access.
- You are more empowered when you are not dependent on just one approach. Sometimes people can get stuck in just one type of therapy, spending many years and large sums of money to achieve slow progress. Our combination approach gives you a multi-faceted set of tools and experiences so you can create a healing path that really works for you.
