My story of Fascial Stretching:

Starting in 2015, on the advise of my brother, I started getting stretched -with specific focus on transforming fascia, and it eliminated chronic pain issues in my shoulders. I felt great, experienced hope for my future body, and I also noticed a transformation of my thinking and perspective.  Also I could manage pain in my lower back myself!

I left a career of over 30 years to pursue learning several methods of stretching and fascia change, and now provide private Stretching Sessions to clients, and classes in self stretching, including virtually.

We are hearing more and more about the huge part fascia plays in human health.

I specialize in stretching your fascia, and coaching you to positively upgrade your health by changing your fascia.

Our connective tissue (fascia) becomes dehydrated, thick (especially on the back body), or can contain scar tissue.  Our stability in the shoulder or pelvic girdle is compromised, or a compensation pattern develops without us knowing, and we get pain “all of a sudden” or think we are “just feeling your age.”

When we address your fascial restriction, improvement is felt immediately. The transformative power is felt well before the first session is over.

We tend to believe that training and working on our muscles will give us the best body, when, really, effortless movement is mostly “allowed” by fascia.

I partner with clients to assist THEM in their desire for greater health. Stretching Sessions with me are physically dynamic, and fun and light.  I like a collaborative session where together we find what restricts you bio-mechanically, address pain, chronic tightness and other conditions you’d like to improve. People report to me more "space" & lightness in their body, looser hips, sleep improvement, including not being woken up by pain, neck & shoulder tightness gone, cramps reduced, to name a few. The stretching works on your fascia – connective tissue throughout the body – which has no nerves, and so it is painless. Once I was introduced to this form of stretching, my chronic shoulder pains disappeared, I am now able to fix my own low back when stiff, I aged backwards, and my perspective changed.  I love being able to offer these results and more for clients. I also love teaching classes, workshops, outside stretch appointments in nature (using nature)  and private sessions for self-stretching.
