If you’ve recently signed up for information on upcoming trainings and were in communication via email or text, please excuse some technical difficulties - my software is down and I’m unable to follow up with you

The fascial paradigm proves that the structure is somatic, and the somatic is structural. Tapping into one is tapping into both.

I just received my stamp of approval from NCBTMB for NY state CE credits. Looking forward to getting to the upstate this summer!

Most hands on bodywork techniques fall into two ends of the spectrum:

Glide over the surface - which might relax but doesn’t do much to effect change in the tissue,

Or-

Try to pe*****te all the way through the layers with an elbow using more force than necessary and causing the collagen in fascia to lock down and guard.

When we plug into the fascial tensegrity matrix - we’re taking a place within the structure.

From here we can actually feel thixotropic remodeling in real time, with subtle sensations of unwinding, fluctuation, or pulsation.

These subtle sensations are indicators that fascia level release is occurring - they take time to attune to and develop a strong discriminatory touch in our own somatosensory pathways as practitioners.

But once you learn to work this way - you’ll never need to second guess the amount of pressure, direction, or distribution of force from your hands into the tissue.

You’ll either feel the unwinding sensation as fascia goes through thixotropy or you won’t - and this will guide you to always following the path of release exactly where the body knows it can happen.

Fluid Dynamics of CSF + Fascia

The reason I teach from a dual perspective is that I don’t see enough craniosacral curriculums bringing fascia awareness, and I don’t see enough myofascial curriculums understanding that the dural tube and cerebrospinal fluid are an important factor for understanding implications around fascial tensegrity and the collagens propensity to guard from jarring forces.

At the center of the spider web of the fascial matrix is a fluid cavity that expands and contracts.

From the layer of our palpated felt sense as practitioners, both the myofascial touch and the craniosacral touch are nested within each other.

One moves towards the direction of the collagen barrier.
The other rises the wave of the direction of ease away from the barrier until the body calls it deeper.

When we develop the listening skills necessary to ‘feel through’ the fascial web to grab hold of the fluid cavity within, we’re now working from the inside out.

And you will come to feel how hand placement and tissue engagement in one area now instantly travels through the displacement of fluid in the CSF system to impact the body in a totally different area, non locally.

We can talk about frameworks, concepts, and anatomical underpinnings - but the real transmission is always how things FEEL and how to develop the sensitivity to work with them in real time.

At these seminars, I promise to satisfy your intellectual curiosity into how things work - but mostly just to help your mind relax into ‘not knowing’ so that you can stay deeply present enough to listen.

When we explore the intersection of fascial tensegrity with the fluid dynamics of the spine, you start to tap into some incredibly detailed and precise sensations that allow you to work inside the hardest to reach and most guarded places within the body - and work with them at their own pace of subtle unwinding so that they can melt from within.

It’s hard to put into words the experience of the ‘somatic flashback’ until you experience it for yourself - it’s not relegated to one sensory experience but a cascade of sense data moves through that touches on everything.

Physical sensation, visuals, emotions, memories all flood in at once as the body finally expresses what it has been holding all this time.

I had several incredible opportunities to witness these healing catharses at the very start of my journey, so when it started happening to me more and more via Craniosacral work, I knew I was on the right path.

Deep nervous system calibration from palpating and working with the spinal fluid brings people into lowered brainwaves where the filters of the monkey recede and make way for richer sensory data and right brain processing to occur.

This has been my passion and purpose of my work, to crack the code on inducing these somatic release states - though they can never be forced- but guide people into states of receptivity where they are more likely to occur.

Today I’m thankful for the journey that has led me here.

I recently got an opportunity to sit down with my friend and professional peer to drop some insight for her massage mentorship group.

It’s really the first time in a while I had the opportunity to reflect on my path as a therapist and practitioner.

I’m grateful that I always took the leap of faith when I could have told myself my goals were out of reach.

I went straight into practice for myself as a self employed therapist.

I studied the advanced modalities I was passionate about and immediately began serving clients; even if I was unsure I was ‘good enough.’

I built up my first tiny office into a team of 15 bodyworkers and healing arts practitioners in the first 3 years.

I never stopped doing what my vision called me to, even when I had no idea what I was doing from a business standpoint.

But those continual trust falls into the unknown rapidly expanded both my sensitivity and client outcomes, as well as my own professional growth.

The only reason I get to connect with awesome people like Melinda in the healing arts space is because I was putting myself out there and chasing the dream.

It wasn’t always easy, it wasn’t always efficient, but it was a learning experience that shaped me and now gives me the confidence to impact more and more lives.

I’m building the new wave of bodywork education behind Myo-Somatic Bodywork - I’m condensing everything I’ve learned over 14 years into a transmission that cuts the learning curve down and empowers practitioners to be at the cutting edge of fascial and somatic therapy.

I will help you build an advanced skill set for client transformation, and can give you the keys to making your practice successful and profitable.

2026 and beyond is going to be an incredible time as the alternative health renaissance and global awakening aren’t slowing down!

I’m grateful for it all, as it has all led me here!
