NEW VIRTUAL & IN-PERSON CLASSES: FASCIAL MANEUVERS

​

We all have values that are important to us. One of my values is to continue learning and integrating what I learn into my life, as well as into teaching others what has helped me. Not only is it essential for me to stay as healthy and vital as possible, but I also enjoy inspiring others to find greater health and vitality in their lives.

​

With this spirit, I am sharing something new in my toolbox. I am a certified Fascial Maneuver Coach trained by Human Garage. I have become a coach to help others and myself through movements and exercises that help us release and unlock our fascia, which has become adhered and stuck over time, causing pain, dysfunction, decreased movement capacity, and range of motion.

​

I at first became interested in this work to help myself. I had a challenging year, and my physical health was impacted. I had joint pain, I tended towards constipation, and my left leg felt like it didn't belong to me. As I began doing these maneuvers and learning how fascia works, what it is made up of, and how it influences every part of my body, I became even more interested.

​

In addition, I was very intrigued by their emphasis on self-healing. Not enough of us humans know how to work with ourselves and heal ourselves as much as possible without always needing to enlist others for help. Please understand, I know we all need help and intervention at times.  Not enough of us are empowered, nor do we understand how to work with ourselves. I love how the fascial maneuver works, teaches us how to work with ourselves, how to be in touch with our bodies in the present moment, how to listen to ourselves, and when we do need to also reach for outside assistance. 

​

Fascia is a type of connective tissue that acts as the scaffolding for our bodies, providing support and structure. The cells that form our fascia originate in our brains. This connective tissue envelops our muscles, joints, bones, and even our organs, including the brain itself. It's fascinating to consider how powerful this tissue is!​​

​

Every time we have a trauma, whether it be emotional, physical injury, or physical and emotional abuse, our fascia is affected. It becomes stuck or hardened, or we develop adhesions or scar tissue. Because it lives on top of our muscles, our whole body then becomes affected as every part is connected. This is also true for our unconscious. Our unconscious lives in every cell of our fascia. As we release parts of our fascia, it also releases memories, feelings, and emotions. We don't always realize that it's happening, so don't worry if you can't feel it; it's still occurring. 

​

These classes are designed to work with and help anyone, regardless of their inabilities, disabilities, or restrictions. For those who don't have the balance or are unable to stand without aid, we can modify the movements and also perform them while sitting or lying down. 

The classes begin with movements that help us to reset our fascia and emotions. We can then move on, based on the client, and work with almost every part of the body. 

​

There are basic ways in which fascia functions and releases. They release through opposing and twisting forces, through good hydration, and breath. During each class, I teach a breathing technique that enhances the release of tissue. As a trained dancer, athlete, and chiropractor, I have a keen eye for analyzing and correcting movements. Through training in listening to the body and our own words, I can effectively hear and interpret the client's language, enabling them to understand their experiences at both a superficial and profound level. 

​

Imagine, with time and consistency, being able to achieve things you once thought were impossible. Picture yourself moving more fluidly, with a noticeable reduction in pain or discomfort in certain areas. Visualize becoming comfortable in your own body, allowing you to release stored emotions and creating space to feel at ease with yourself.​

​

Join this exciting new movement and experience personal healing and growth. As a coach, I am offering in-person weekly drop-in classes in St. Louis every Thursday from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Elements of Wellness, located at 1561 N. Warson Rd. There is no weekly commitment required; you are welcome to attend as you are able. Come and be a part of our community! As these classes gain popularity, I will be offering more, so stay tuned!

​

These are designed not only to be informative but also to help you incorporate movement into your life and increase your physical activity, which in turn affects your emotions, allows your fascia to release and your emotions to move through you.
