Alright, a small shift - and a good one.

I’m simplifying where I show up online.
More real connection.

Same work. Same hands. Same curiosity.
Just a clearer direction and more space to interact.

Come join us there.
Follow along, jump into the conversation, see what’s coming.

On True North Bodywork, you’ll find trainings, upcoming steps, and ongoing inspiration - movement, exercises, and reflections connecting body and mind.

Let’s keep moving - together.

The holidays can activate old patterns held deep in the tissues.
Memories live in more than the mind - they are carried in tension, breath, posture, and subtle holding.

When something stirs, it’s an invitation to listen.
To slow down.
To feel where the body is asking for support.

Rewriting holiday memories begins through experience, not effort.
A small, safe action can soften long-held contraction.
A gentle walk that lets the hips swing.
A pause to sense the feet on the ground.
A breath that spreads quietly through the chest and belly.

As the fascia softens, the nervous system learns something new:
this moment can feel different.
There is choice here.
There is space.

You don’t need to force release.
You allow it - through presence, touch, breath, and time.

Each nurturing moment creates a new imprint.
One of safety, support, and ease.

Move gently.
Trust the intelligence of your body.
New memories form as the tissues learn to let go. 🤍

Posture is often treated as something that is wrong and needs to be corrected. Sit straighter, stand better, hold yourself properly. From the body’s point of view, posture is not a mistake. It is a strategy.

The way someone stands or sits develops over time in response to life demands, emotional states, stress, work habits, injuries, and repetitive movements.

Fascia adapts to these conditions by organizing tension in a way that supports what the body needs to handle. This means posture is the result of intelligent adaptation, not poor behavior.

When posture is forced into a “correct” position, the body often responds with more tension. The underlying fascial tone that created the posture remains unchanged, so the new position feels tiring or unstable and quickly collapses.

Change happens when the body is supported to reorganize from the inside. Gentle movement, awareness, breath, and gradual variation allow fascial tone to adjust naturally. As the tissue adapts, posture shifts on its own, without being imposed.

Instead of asking how to fix posture, it can be more useful to ask what the body has been adapting to. When that question is explored with respect, posture becomes a doorway to understanding rather than a problem to solve.

𝐀 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭!

Elbow Curls are one of those exercises that look easy… and then gently wake up places that have been asleep for a while 😄
Especially around the shoulders and upper back.

This movement helps the shoulders remember how naturally they are meant to move -smooth, coordinated and free.
Perfect if your days include screens, sitting, or a lot of forward focus.

Go slow, stay present, and let the range of motion grow over time.
A few mindful repetitions can already create a sense of space and ease.

Your shoulders often respond with gratitude.
Give it a try and notice what changes.

When the chest and diaphragm stay tight, the body adapts in clever but exhausting ways. Shoulders lift, the spine compensates, movement loses ease, and breathing becomes shallow without us even noticing.

What often feels like a back or shoulder issue begins where breath and posture meet.

The diaphragm is more than a breathing muscle. It supports posture, coordinates movement, and helps the body feel grounded. When it softens, space returns, breath deepens, and movement feels more natural.

In the Original Face module of Myofascial Energetic Release, we work with the chest, diaphragm, neck, and face to release long-held patterns that shape how we breathe, move, and express ourselves.

The work is slow, precise, and deeply listening - inviting change from the inside out.

Often, restoring movement starts with restoring breath.

Every time I teach MER, I’m reminded how quickly people light up when they feel what fascia work can do.

There’s curiosity, there’s surprise, and there’s this moment of, “Oh… so this is how my body can move and breathe.”

In January, Ulla and I are bringing that same energy to London - two days of learning, practicing and discovering how MER can support your work or your own body.

It’s hands-on, it’s practical and it’s a lot of fun to explore together.

24–25 January, London.
If you’ve been wanting a fresh start or a new skill in 2026, this might be it.
We would love to see you there!

Give your upper back and neck a moment of real care.

This simple Standing Overhead Extension helps your whole structure settle, open, and realign. It gently reminds your body how natural it feels to work with gravity, not against it.

When you create length in your spine and space in your ribcage, your breath flows easier, your posture lightens, and your energy shifts. Such a small move… yet your body feels the difference right away.

Take a minute for yourself. Let your system reset. Breathe well.
Let me know how it felt!

Myofascial Energetic Release (MER) is a bodywork approach where structure, breath, and emotion reconnect through skilled, intuitive touch.

In MER, practitioners work 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ the body, not on it.
Every movement, lean, and pressure is a response to what the fascia is communicating.

✨ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞?

🔹 𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐚 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠
Gentle traction and deep, sustained pressure invite the connective tissue to soften, hydrate, and reorganize.

🔹 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐚 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞
As receivers breathe into sensation, layers of tension melt, allowing holding patterns to shift from the inside out.

🔹 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰
Slow unwinding, rocking, and stretching help the nervous system release old protective patterns.

🔹 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲
Each practitioner is grounded, centered, and attuned - creating the conditions for real healing and emotional regulation.

🔹 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝
MER sessions often unfold like this photo: a quiet choreography of hands, elbows, breath, and trust.
Everyone is learning to listen - to the fascia, to their intuition, to the person in front of them.

✨ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐄𝐑
MER is not just about releasing tight muscles.
It’s about 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲, 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞.

Taking care of your body isn’t only about deep bodywork.
Sometimes the simplest movements create the biggest shift.

Standing Arm Circles are one of my go-to postural therapy exercises.
They wake up the upper back, strengthen the shoulder girdle, and bring your load joints back into alignment.

A few mindful reps each day can change how you stand, move, and breathe.
Try it, feel the activation, and notice how your posture responds over time.

Lower Back Pain? It Might Not Be the Disc at all.

Up to 40% of people struggle with low back pain - yet in most cases, the real source is 𝐜𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭-𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, especially in the pelvic and lumbar fascia.

In this new hands-on demo, Satyarthi Peloquin, founder of Myofascial Energetic Release (MER), shows how deep, mindful touch can ease long-held tension in the QL, glutes, sacrum, SI joint, and pelvic fascia.

🌀 MER blends touch, breath, movement, emotion and meditation - creating space for relief that feels natural and grounded.

Softening the fascia allows the underlying intelligence to move freely.

When the fascia unwinds, something essential comes forward.
Breath finds more space to expand.
Movement becomes more fluid and aligned.
Awareness settles into a clearer sense of presence.

Fascia touches everything - muscles, organs, posture, breath, emotional tone.
So when it softens, the whole system responds.
Circulation improves, energy flows with more ease, and the nervous system begins to settle into balance.

In deep bodywork the intention stays simple and steady:
to offer enough space, enough presence, enough gentle support
for the body’s natural intelligence to guide the unfolding.

We meet the tissue where it is.
We listen to its rhythm.
We follow the subtle movements, the breath, the micro releases, the quiet shifts in tone.
And in this collaborative process, tension that has been held for years can begin to soften.

Every gentle release opens a pathway.
Every softening invites a new truth:
a clearer breath, a freer spine, a calmer mind, a more grounded way of being.

Your body carries a map - a living, evolving guide shaped by experience, resilience, and wisdom.
Softening the fascia helps you read it with greater clarity, compassion, and trust.

Have you ever felt a moment when your body “guided” you from the inside?
