Closing out the Year of the Snake giving thanks to Christopher the snake 🐍✨

Many wild lessons have been learnt this year, some willingly and some kicking and screaming.

The mad thing about holding a snake is that they that feel like pure unrestricted fascia — fluid, intelligent, ancient… all strength without tension. Christopher moves the way energy moves: slow, intentional, completely present.

Ending the year softer, stronger, and more connected.

Excited for what is in store for this next chapter.

Thank you .lee.95 for letting me hold Christopher!

Drum roll please! Christmas giveaway results are in...this time we had two winners! They have both won 2 free MFR sessions each, here are the winning entries who have been contacted 😊

“Would like to suggest my Dad, he has held a lot for the last few years as the main caretaker of my Mum who in the last five years has recovered from both a brain aneureysm and throat cancer. In part, made such a good recovery because of his care and attention. Have noticed he is starting to take very shallow breaths. He also holds a lot of emotions in! Ha I wonder where I get it from.”

“I’d love to nominate my daughter, for this beautiful gift. She carries so much more than she ever says out loud, and I know she would benefit deeply from your calm presence, your wise guidance, and the grounding support of myofascial release. This would offer her a moment of ease in a season that has been anything but easy for her and us as a family.”

Thank you so much for all of your personal and thought provoking entries, and do make sure to be following my newsletter for any upcoming competitions, updates or events!

It’s such a cosy space 🧡

Do you have an injury and can’t make it to the top floor for your treatment or private session?

We’ll bring the treatment room down to you :)

Our Soul Sanctuary Studio is multi-use and can be transformed into an additional ground floor treatment space at the drop of a hat.

If you ever require this option, ask your therapist in advance and we’ll get you booked into this room instead.

👋 A little reintroduction…

I’m Stephanie, a John F. Barnes trained Myofascial Release Therapist, and my journey to this work began through my own chronic pain.

As a musician, my hands are everything to me. When I developed carpal tunnel syndrome, the pain and numbness didn’t just affect my playing, it filled me with fear. I tried multiple treatments and was even advised to consider surgery, but nothing brought lasting relief.

Eventually, I discovered John F. Barnes' Myofascial Release Therapy, and it changed everything. Through gentle, sustained work with the body’s connective tissue (fascia), I began to understand that my pain wasn’t just about overuse, it was the result of long-held tension, posture, and years of pushing through.

The work was subtle, patient, and deeply effective. Over time, my symptoms completely resolved, and I’ve able to return to music and teaching without feeling burnt out or pain.

The whole experience inspired me to fly to America to train in John F. Barnes specific Myofascial Release Therapist myself. Today, alongside my music teaching, I support others who are living with pain or issues that haven’t resolved through more traditional approaches and it’s a whole new level of job satisfaction.

If you’ve been struggling and feel like you’ve tried everything, this gentle, whole-body approach may be able to help 🌿

✨ I’m officially on Facebook!
Hi, I'm Stephanie, a John F. Barnes trained Myofascial Release Therapist in Silsden & Skipton, offering gentle, hands-on treatment to support pain relief, improved mobility, and overall wellbeing.

What is Myofascial Release?
It’s a gentle, whole-body therapy that works with the fascia (the connective tissue that supports your muscles and organs). When pain or stiffness hasn’t responded to traditional treatments, myofascial release offers a gentle, whole-body approach that may help where other methods haven’t.

This page will be a space to share news about myofascial release, availability, and helpful tips.
