Services
Fascial Release
Our fascial release technique addresses deep tissue restrictions through hands-on therapy that improves mobility and reduces chronic pain. Practitioners work with clients to identify and release stored trauma in connective tissues, promoting better posture and bodily awareness. This method combines breath work with targeted pressure to restore natural movement patterns and enhance overall wellness.
Trauma Recovery
Trauma recovery sessions focus on releasing physical manifestations of emotional and psychological stress stored in the body. Our practitioners use gentle techniques to help clients process and release traumatic memories held in fascial tissues. This approach integrates somatic awareness with emotional processing to promote comprehensive healing and improved mental well-being.
Bodywork Training
Our professional training programs offer comprehensive education in Core Care techniques through multi-level certification courses. Students progress through four core levels, learning assessment skills, specialized techniques, and five-series protocols. Training emphasizes both technical proficiency and the philosophical principles underlying effective bodywork practice.
Workshops
We offer targeted workshops focusing on specific aspects of fascial work including psoas muscle release, spinal unwinding, and vagus nerve health. These intensive classes combine lecture, demonstration, and hands-on practice for professional development. Participants gain practical skills applicable to immediate client work while deepening their understanding of myofascial connections.
Emotional Anatomy
Emotional anatomy sessions explore the connection between physical restrictions and emotional patterns through bodywork that addresses psychological holding. Practitioners help clients develop awareness of tension patterns related to past trauma while creating safe environments for emotional release. This approach fosters greater self-understanding and improved emotional regulation through physical therapy.
