During sessions, we are working on the level of the fascia to connect with stuck energy in the tissue that may be the cause of restrictions and places of discomfort. I bring my experience and passion for this journey of restoring the flow of energy in our living fascia - the seat of our soul, our inner child, all our biological processes and also, commonly of adhesions, pain and congestion. 

 

To engage the fascial system, we need to contact it in a language that it 'understands', i.d. that enables it to decompress elongate and hydrate - in short, phase change - so that restrictions can melt, space can be re-established and pain subside. One way of accomplishing this is by using the most ancient technology - the hands - with a fascia-resonant quality of touch. I let mine decompress, hold, stream, activate, stroke, follow and be with the tissue at a fine-tuned level of pressure, movement and time while deeply listening to enter channels of communication. Depending on your needs, we can bring active release and alignment techniques into the flow of the treatment to further restore function and relief pain.

Fascial Integration can help to reduce or resolve pain and discomfort, relieve stress, strengthen the immune system and overall resilience, increase flexibility, improve posture and deepen somatic awareness and help a person to reclaim a sense of core and ground. It can be a life-changing, empowering and energy-generating access point into positive change for those who are

​

𖦹 experiencing muscuskeletal pain such as hip, back or neck pain

𖦹 navigating an auto-immune condition such as Fibromyalgia

𖦹 dealing with repercussions from old injuries

𖦹 chronically tight and stiff

𖦹 experiencing (C)-PTSD - dis-association, NS-Dysregulation, restlessness and anxiety​​​​

𖦹 seeking support to be more in their body and less in their mind.

𖦹 and much more

Focussing on One Area

​

It can be very valuable to focus on just one part of the body during a session, especially a part that has had trauma or tissue alterations due to surgery and injury. This means connecting e.g. with a knee, ankle, shoulder, scar, etc. in a deep way to thouroughly address restrictions and adhesions working through the tissue 'seams' of time in 'tissue time' to restore function and freedom of movement.

​

 

Working with Scars

​

I weave in Sharon Wheeler's Scarwork and MSTR to address scars gently and effectively by helping remodel the scar tissue and re-integrate it with the surrounding skin and deeper invisible tissue. In a few sessions, we work on remodelling the sticky collagen fibers that have grown and bundled together in an initial response to form the scar. 

 

The effects of scars, whether from surgeries, accidents or other trauma are often invisible. The scar can feel like a disconnected part of us. Looking at and touching it can bring up emotions. Physically, scar tissue can impact the body as a whole and transmit tension along the fascial planes. This can block the flow of blood, lymph, cause adhesions in the tissue, cause congestion and restrictions and pain in other parts of the body and block the flow of chi through meridians. The wonderful news is that collagen fibers are maliable and can be re-aligned with the healthy surrounding tissue - no matter how old the scar is - often resulting in a smoother apperance of the scar and body-wide changes.

Sessions are a collaborative space and your unique needs and intentions are leading the way.

I have found working with fascia to be a gateway to becoming more and more embodied, move into greater health, empowerment and fluid soul consciousness. If you feel called, you can read more about fascia here.

What is Fascia?

Fascia is the white connective tissue that envelopes our organs, muscles, cells, nerves, blood and lymph vessels and is our largest sensory organ. It gives our body structure and is the medium within which biological functions take place, for example, nerve transmission or nutrient delivery to the cells.​

​

Fascia can become stiff, dry and matted when we don’t move enough or experienced injury or trauma. Or thick and dense when it makes extra fibers to support our posture and as a consequence of chronic stress.

This affects muscle function. Chronically tight muscles struggle to lengthen and get the blood and oxygen supply they need, if the fascia surrounding them is contracted and dehydrated. We feel tight and achy. Our range of movement is limited.​ Our biology may also be perpetuating a false positive feedback loop between our mind and body/fascia that locks in the signals that are being send up and down the chain. For example, if we feel chronically stressed or in a flash back, we are likely locked into our primitive brain and flooded with stress hormones. The fascia responds by contracting and tightening to get ready to fight, flee or freeze. Now the body is sending signals of danger to our brain stem via the millions of nerve receptors imbedded in the fascia and receiving confirmation from the brain of the danger. ​By working with the fascia, we can find an entry way into beginning to diffuse this false negative feedback loop.​
