In 2014, I transitioned from traditional spa practices to John Barnes’ Myofascial Release (JFB MFR ®️) approach, which answered many questions left by massage school. Intrigued by the concept that “fascia carries the signal of life, consciousness,” I became passionate about this work; which has led me to including many perspectives from Gabor Mate’s Development Model focusing on attachment wounds and early childhood experiences as roots for our present day dis-ease. Planning together with the perspectives of Chinese medicine, we may see how our emotions lead to the irreducible needs going unmet in our life.
My journey has included collaboration with leading touch therapy practitioners, pursuing a Master’s in Chinese Medicine, and studying various manual therapy modalities including Craniosacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation and Neural Manipulations, all of which have enriched my therapeutic practice and provide a foundation to supporting personal growth to promoting healing and balance.
