In the healing arts, we often meet people at the edge of themselves. In the places where words have failed them, sensation feels like a distant memory, and the body has learned to survive by dimming its light. Trauma convinces people they are alone in the dark. It narrows the world, quiets the body, and pulls the nervous system inward, as if curling around a small, protected flame that must not be seen or touched.

It tells a story of isolation. It whispers that you are undeserving, that no one can see you, and no one would understand you even if they tried.

In the healing arts, we do not rush to pull someone out of that darkness. We learn instead how to sit with it. How to be a witness. How to stay present without fixing, without forcing, without demanding anything before the body is ready to remember it. Sometimes the most profound act of care is simply staying steady and grounded while someone finds their way back to themselves.

I have learned that healing does not always begin with the client finding their own light. Sometimes it starts because someone else is willing to share theirs. Not in a way that overwhelms, but in a way that gently warms. Like the quiet fire of an oil lamp on a long night. The soft glow that says, β€œI am here. You are not alone.”

When trauma has taught the body to brace, to dim, to disappear, it is not because the light was lost. It was being protected, held deep within, just waiting for conditions that felt safe enough to let it breathe again. With gentleness, consistency, and compassion, we allow the nervous system to soften its grip and remember how to rest.

In my work, I often see the moment when something shifts. Their breath will deepen, their jaw will relax, or their hands may uncurl. It is subtle, almost imperceptible, yet unmistakable. The body is not being fixed; it is being reminded. Reminded of warmth. Reminded of rhythm and reminded that it does not have to navigate the dark alone.

I share my own light in small ways. The steady cadence of my hands or the warmth of my oil. The quiet assurance that stars still exist even when clouds have hidden them for far too long. I will sit with you in the dark as long as you need, but I will also remind you how good the sunlight feels on your skin.

Healing is not about becoming someone new. It is about reconnecting with something that no trauma, no experience, and no person can ever take away from you. That light inside you, it may brighten and dim, but it is never truly gone.

Everyone is starting to realize how important fascia is when it comes to training the body, but most people still underestimate how deeply it influences movement.

Hydrated fascia behaves very differently, down to the cellular level. Not only does it participate in bioelectric signaling, it also plays a major role in how much range of motion your body can access during exercise. When this tissue is loaded correctly, it becomes elastic and responsive. Your muscles coordinate better, your posture improves, and energy becomes more stable because your body isn’t fighting itself to move.

When this tissue loses its elasticity and structural organization, your body begins moving in ways that increase tension, stiffness, and joint stress in the wrong areas. This is when people start experiencing the movement degradation that eventually leads to pain. Hydration in the body isn’t just about drinking more water. It depends on restoring the mechanical conditions that allow fluid to move through your tissue with minimal friction.

The visual on the left is exactly what we help you overcome through our training. This is what you see in the transformations we help people achieve, where their bodies begin to look more viscoelastic and full.

If you want to improve your movement, you not only need to strengthen the muscles that are weak, you also need to build the mechanics that distribute tension efficiently throughout your fascial system. The quality of your movement determines the quality of your tissue.

The human body holds its stories in layers, each one woven through a different depth of fascia. The superficial fascia, the deep fascia, and the visceral fascia form a trilogy of emotional memory, nervous system response, and structural intelligence. Together they shape how we feel, how we move, and how we heal. In the Body Artisan approach, we honor each layer with its own language of touch, because each one carries its own form of truth.

The superficial fascia is the most expressive layer, rich in sensation, lymphatic flow, temperature shifts, and emotional reactivity. This is where we feel social emotions, fears, overstimulation, and the subtle β€œweather” of the nervous system. It responds instantly to the world. Myofascial Flow is the perfect modality for this layer, because its slow, wave-like movement speaks the language of safety. It invites the skin, the lymph, and the surface nervous system to soften their grip and settle. When we work here, we aren’t just treating tissue; we are calming the emotional atmosphere of the body.

The deep fascia carries a different kind of story. Dense, fibrous, and linked to the musculoskeletal system, it houses compensations, postural patterns, protective contractions, and the emotional imprints formed through repetition, stress, and survival. This is where responsibility, pressure, identity, bracing, and long-held fears often live. Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy is the medicine for this layer. It listens for the hyperactive points where the nervous system has built its strongest defenses. With sustained pressure and clear intention, these points release not only pain but old patterns, the ones the body created when it didn’t know another option.

Then there is the visceral fascia, the deepest layer, wrapping the organs like silk. Here we find the emotional roots that run through the autonomic nervous system. Grief in the lungs, worry in the stomach, fear in the kidneys, anger in the liver, and the quiet survival instincts stored in the gut. This layer controls breath, digestion, circulation, immunity, and the deepest rhythms of life. Myofascial Release is the gateway here, because its stillness and depth allow the body to unravel from the inside out. Working with the visceral fascia is less about pressure and more about presence β€”a listening so deep that the organs respond with ease, warmth, and restored mobility.

When these three layers are understood and treated with intention, the body becomes coherent again. The superficial layer calms, the deep layer reorganizes, and the visceral layer unwinds. The emotional body stabilizes, the physical body finds balance, and the inner systems return to their natural harmony. This is the art of fascia, the art of emotion, and the art of healing woven together. This is the essence of what it means to be a Body Artisan.

Good morning my lovely clients and potential clients. I was discouraged and sad to learn I cannot have a business page on here without an active personal page as well. I am still in business!!! I still hold space, and willing to meet you wherever you are in your healing journeys, and grateful for each and every one of you that so happens to cross my path and stay the course with me.
I feel called away from having an active role on Facebook, but even more intentionally focused on life outside of it. Which means you, if you decide to book with me. I choose to be a vessel for God to work through me and forfeit anything that takes away from the calling HE has placed on me which is servitude. You can book your massages and body work by calling or texting 423-491-0399
I am located at 405 Beech Mountain Parkway
Please enter parking lot through the Chalet Rentals parking lot. Keeping mine open was dangerous because of people whipping it around too fast to turn around.
I am by appointment only, no walk ins!
I look forward to assisting you on your healing journey. You are worthy of all put on your heart to seek. Much love and many blessings.
