More magical moments happening for RoOTed clients, and I am so grateful to be able to celebrate each moment with them!

A few things I want you to know about me and this work when you work with me as your therapist:

I will never guarantee an exact outcome...every human being is unique.

I will always be 100% honest with you.

If you need them, I will help you find a team of trusted professionals and resources.

I will always look at you and treat you as a human being, not a diagnosis.

We will collaborate and work on what is right in front of us, honoring your needs and preferences the entire time.

Your body and mind WILL benefit from this work.

You will notice changes you didn’t realize you needed.

Things will get better.

You will be OK.

I will always listen to you and honor your needs.

I will always be in your corner. 💖

It’s been a long week. Time for me to let go and unwind with a few of my BFFs. 🥰💖

Today, it is with sad hearts, we learned the passing of John F. Barnes. He is a pioneer in myofascial release and the founder of the John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach®.

His work has impacted so many people and laid the foundation for the approach to myofascial release work I use at RoOTed. I didn’t have the chance to meet him in person, as I began studying this work during a time when he wasn’t always able to travel and teach across the country. Even so, his presence is unmistakable at every seminar I attend and through the work being done.

You can feel his knowledge, care, and genuine love for people through the work itself, through the instructors who continue to teach it, and the community of therapists who use this in their practice. There is a depth and gentleness in this approach that speaks volumes about the kind of person he was.

I’m incredibly grateful for what he shared and for the countless lives he touched. His legacy continues every time we slow down, listen to the body, and create space for real healing.

Thank you, John, for teaching and providing a modality that is helping so many. You have positively impacted my life both personally and professionally, and for that, I’m forever grateful. ✨

Your fascia does not have to stay a Cotton Headed N***y Muggins!

When your fascia feels tight, stubborn, or stuck, it might be time to get to the root of it.

MFR therapy at RoOTed helps soften restrictions, restore movement, and bring your body back into balance.

Another FAQ o get in the RoOTed office: “How is the approach you use different than other myofascial techniques?”

At RoOTed, I use the John F. Barnes’ Myofascial Release® Approach. Listen as I talk about two things about this approach that I like to explain to my clients about this approach and why it’s so effective for long term healing. There are SO many benefits! Reach out if you’re ready to learn more and feel the difference! 💖

Some days I can really relate to this guy… my natural business owner posture when I’m not treating. Very ergonomic. Very professional. In the PJs. Letting the fascia go while we’re at it. Absolutely thriving. 🙌🏻 😂

When your office mate is having some upper back and neck pain, of course you invite her in to do some fascial stretching self-care between our clients. Here she is working on stretching her pectoralis muscles and using a HALF foam roller along her upper thoracic area, vertically, to target those upper back areas, as well as allow for a good stretch in the front. She’s supported by a pillow at her head, because that’s what felt comfortable for her. She listened to her body and allowed herself to let go while doing what felt good and right for her.

Give me a call or book your MFR sessions if you’re ready to listen to your body and learn what it needs to help you feel better, so you can get back to doing what you need to and what you love the most.

P.S. I greatly appreciate her lending her counselor ear anytime my mind needs to let go and talk her ear off as well. It’s a win-win situation in the RoOTed and office space for us 🥰

Always a fun day when it starts with a cute baby and a sweet momma in the office! These are just a few fan favorites for baby toys in the RoOTed office 🥰.

As a mom and OT who worked in pediatrics for a long time, and had some of my favorite toys for both therapy and my own kiddos! Check out for a local place to buy toys too, I know they carry these brands, along with many other amazing items, too!

They make great gifts or stocking stuffers ☺️❤️.

Just be with each other. Quality time. Our brains are tired. Enjoy the time together and let go of the expectations. 💖

Today’s holiday baking felt really meaningful. My family and I spent the day making cookies together, and this year we made a few simple swaps that feel good for us. We chose more homemade treats and used ingredients that feel more natural and closer to whole foods.

For a long time I was in survival mode as a mom, doing the best I could and not always feeling connected to the things I valued. Little by little I am finding my way back to myself. I am slowly bringing more intention into our home by choosing products and foods that support how we want to feel. No pressure and no expectations of perfection. Just small shifts that feel supportive.

What made today so special was not just the cleaner ingredients or the beet juice we used to make red(ish) icing. It was that we enjoyed the experience together. We laughed. We created. We learned. It reminded me that caring for ourselves happens in simple everyday moments. It does not have to be complicated to be meaningful.

I am grateful for the RoOTed community. Many of you have inspired me and shared so much wisdom on this path of mindful living. We are all learning as we go, and we do not need to get everything perfect to make a difference.

Today felt grounding and joyful, and it brought me back to the heart of what I believe in. Nourishing our bodies. Staying present with our families. Choosing what feels good for us one small step at a time.
