 My community calls me the "Pain Relief Wizard"

I used to feel trapped in my body.

I had incessant tightness, limited mobility, and a heavy feeling of hopelessness. And then my world changed when I experienced fascia release.

For the past decade, I’ve been sharing this “best kept secret” to help hundreds reconnect with their body, eliminate their pain, and set their own limits.

We live in a world where disconnecting with our body and silencing its messages are the norm. Our culture leads us to believe we need to mask our symptoms with cortisone shots, pain pills, and even unnecessary surgeries.

There are many of you, however, who know deep down in your intuition that something's missing. There's got to be another way to overcome this chronic pain and stiffness, instead of slowly adding things to the list that you can no longer do because of it.

Welcome to the new world of fascia release! I help provide the tools and techniques to those seeking a lasting way to relieve pain and return to living the full, adventurous life they want. My goal is to help you find the root cause of your pain, learn how to trust your body, and tap into its incredible potential to heal quickly. 

Tired of "managing" chronic pain, nerve pain, tendinitis, mobility issues or stiff joints? I have my nickname for a reason. When you have the right tools, this work does indeed seem like magic...

What happens when a 10 pound baby gets stuck during birth? 

In my case, it resulted in the doctor tearing most of the nerves in my right shoulder in the process of pulling me out. Although I underwent a massive nerve re-graph surgery at only four months old to help bring my arm somewhat back "online," I was still left with limited mobility and tightness.

Growing up, I went through the standard Western medicine system of occupational therapy and constant doctor check ups. I felt like a broken product on a conveyor belt. Slowly moving from person to person on an endless loop, continually rubber stamped as defective.

"Don't expect to play any sports," one doctor told me.

"This is never going to get any better."

"Manage it as best you can, but this is permanent and likely going to get worse as you get older."

(Yup, all real things that were said to me.)

I felt angry and frustrated that someone else apparently got to decide that I was capable of. I had no reason not to believe these people of authority, however. The older I got, the deeper I harbored this inner feeling of hopelessness.

So I disconnected with my body. I ignored the tightness and let everything I tried in life go through the filter of "you probably can't do that because of your arm." I let myself live in a small, protected box.

Here's what I've learned:

• The medical system does not have all the answers when it comes to pain (in fact, I believe the standard approaches are very often counterproductive).
• Addressing fascia in this unique way is the key to finding the root cause of pain, quickly interrupting compensation patterns, and creating lasting change. Focusing on one joint, a few muscles, or the point of pain instead of the fascial system is like renovating a room in your house when the foundation has collapsed. 
• Too many of us are told to manage pain that's completely solvable! If we shift our focus to addressing the root source instead of covering symptoms, we can stop “managing” pain and start eliminating it.
• Learning to listen to your body and decode its messages can remove your fear of pain and unlock your power to heal.
• Learning how to release fascia and address pain can be simple. With the right tools and tactics, we are capable of taking back our power and healing ourselves.

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to share this knowledge with you! It would be an honor to help you on your healing journey.
