My story

I never expected to practice any sort of healing work or bodywork. My path to this work wasn’t straightforward or planned. It was born from my own necessity, desperation, and transformative healing journey and eventual gratitude and enthusiasm for the unexpected results.

Years of chronic and debilitating pain after a traumatic injury left me feeling broken and hopeless.

It wasn't until I discovered a unique and life-changing fascia release technique that I began to heal from chronic pain and regain my freedom of movement. Now, I’m excited and honored to share it and help others achieve the same freedom and peace in their bodies.

In 2016, I was injured in a car accident that left me with a lot of pain and dysfunction in my body.

My life completely changed, and I lost a lot of my independence. I had to rely on my spouse for so many things, and it was really difficult for both of us.

I couldn't sit, stand, or lie down in any one position for more than a few seconds without having to shift positions, stand up, or sit down because of the pain. I couldn't twist or bend over.

I couldn't drive or even tolerate sitting in a car for more than 5-10 minutes at a time. I was in so much pain that we would have to pull over so I could get out and walk around for a few seconds before getting back into the car to try to make it to our destination before having to pull over again. Commuting to appointments was unbearable, and road trips were out of the question!

I couldn't lift, carry, push, or pull anything over 5lbs anymore. I couldn't open heavy doors. I couldn't carry in our groceries. For a while, I couldn't even dress myself.

It was painful to sit, painful to stand, and painful to lie down. I couldn't enjoy any of the things I used to. I couldn't focus on tasks. I couldn't work. I couldn't sleep.

Over time, some things got a little better, but the restricted movement and nagging pain still remained.

I was told that I would need surgery, and even then, there were no guarantees of ever being pain-free again.

Many practitioners offered me drugs to cope and told me, "This is just the way it is now; some things can never be undone or fully healed,” and that I would just have to “learn to accept & live with the pain.”

I was devastated, heartbroken, and angry.

But I was also very stubborn, and I held on to what little shred of hope I had left inside of me.

I was not going to live like that. I was not going to accept that pills and pain were just part of my life now. I was not going to give up.

And so I searched for answers in every corner of the wellness world. I scoured the internet for anything and everything I could find that might get me a bit closer to freedom and relief from the nagging pain that I felt every day and the feeling of being trapped in this body that now felt like a prison for my soul.

I read books, watched YouTube videos, listened to podcasts, and purchased digital courses, subscriptions, and DVDs of countless stretches, exercises, and routines for pain and mobility.

I tried everything!

I went to massage therapists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, personal trainers, and energy healers. I traveled to see a somatics practitioner in Arvada.

I tried weight training and CrossFit to try to rebuild strength and realign my body to hopefully relieve the pain and be able to feel strong and comfortable in my body again

I tried CBD patches, muscle rubs, essential oils, herbal capsules, tinctures, and salves, anti-inflammatory diets, different tools, contraptions, and devices for stretching, releasing, massaging, and traction, foam rollers & massage balls of all sizes and densities, vibrating massage guns, sensory deprivation tanks & float spas, salt caves, infrared saunas, castor oil packs, detoxes, cleanses, vibration plates, hydrotherapy, hypnosis audios and practitioners, mindfulness practices, meditations, visualizations, mantras, affirmations, breathwork, yoga, and somatic exercises.

I was willing to try almost anything, and I was desperate for relief.

All of these things did help in some small way, but nothing truly made a significant or lasting impact. I still felt like something was missing.

I still experienced weakness and dysfunction in my body. I still didn't feel like myself. I was still in pain.

For 7 years, I religiously saw a massage therapist every week and breathed through painful deep-tissue massage.

And I kept up with as many of the other things as I could, as often as I could, when my budget and schedule allowed.

But my priority was always the weekly deep tissue massages because that seemed to be the only thing that helped me cope with the pain and live a somewhat normal life again. If I missed even one week of massage for any reason, I would be in immense pain, barely able to walk or move, or do anything.

Even with the weekly massages, I still struggled to do certain things, and I still experienced a lot of pain, but massage at least took the edge off.

As the years passed, the hope I once had slowly eroded, leaving behind nothing but frustration, disappointment, sadness, anger, grief, and bitterness.

The pain and dysfunction of my body took its toll on my body and mind, and my mental health suffered a lot.

And not to sound too dark or dramatic, but after many years of suffering, I often wished truly for an end to my life. The majority of people in my life never knew, but I did not want to continue to live in this body anymore.

I was in so much pain all the time; I experienced very little joy, and I felt trapped.

It wasn’t until 2023, when I found fascia release- and not just any fascia release, but a very specific form of fascia release- that things began to shift in my life.

I continued my hopeless search for answers, not knowing what else to do, and mostly out of habit. I had become obsessed. It was my only goal, my only purpose left.

One day, I stumbled upon a YouTube video that eventually led me to meet with a very special practitioner in Golden, Colorado, who would soon become my mentor in this work as a certified fascia release practitioner. Although I didn't know it at the time.

Within minutes of my very first session, I began to notice a shift in my body, and I knew that something about this work was different than anything else I had ever tried before.

After my session, I went back to my car, and I cried because, for the first time in a long time, I finally felt hope again. I finally felt significant relief.

Every week, I drove two hours from Fountain to Golden to visit this practitioner for one hour, then two hours back home.

Eventually, I switched to two-hour sessions since I was already making the long trip up there and back.

Some weeks, I would go twice a week if I could fit it into my schedule and budget.

I knew my commitment and consistency would produce the best results, and the profound impact it had on my body fueled my motivation!

With each session, my pain melted away, my body began to heal, and I didn't feel so trapped inside my body anymore.

I could finally feel my body slowly letting go of old patterns, trauma, tension, and deep chronic pain!

When I realized how extraordinary this work was, I knew I needed to share it with as many people as possible.

I felt deeply that EVERYONE should have the opportunity to achieve this level of peace and freedom in their bodies. It has set me on a path to learn more and more about fascia, become a certified fascia release practitioner, and offer others the chance to experience this rare and powerful technique and the profound healing and restoration it offers.

My purpose has finally shifted from searching for answers to sharing this powerful technique.

I can't wait to share it with you!

I’m truly excited and honored to support you on your path to healing, freedom, peace, and wholeness.
