Honestly… I don’t think either Amber or I expected our first Held & Herd date to fill this quickly 🐴❤️

Because of the response, we’re officially opening a second date on June 25th through Equi-Soul and Fascial Connections.

I’m truly so excited for this collaboration and for the opportunity to bring together horses, nervous system awareness, and myofascial release in such a unique and grounded way.

Sharing all the details below ✨

Moments like this remind me why I love what I do 🤍

Creating a space where people feel safe, welcomed, heard, and supported has always mattered deeply to me. Treatment is never just about technique—it’s about connection, trust, and allowing someone to arrive exactly as they are.

I’m so grateful to be able to do this work and to walk alongside such incredible people in their healing journeys. 🤍

Some ideas stay with you for a long time.

For me, this has been one of them.

The idea of creating space where people could experience the combination of myofascial release, nervous system support, and the grounding presence of horses has been sitting in my heart for years.

Now, alongside Equi-Soul, it’s finally coming to life.

Held & Herd: The Release Method was created as a different kind of experience—
one that allows space to slow down, reconnect, and support both physical and emotional release within a quiet, supportive environment.

This is one of those offerings that feels deeply meaningful to bring into the world, and I’m incredibly excited to finally share it with you.

If you are currently a patient at Fascial Connections, booking is now available.

If you’ve been wanting to explore Myofascial Release but have not yet had an initial session with us, please reach out. We’d be happy to help you get started so you can participate in this experience.

❤️‍🩹💛Choosing a therapist isn’t just about technique.

It’s about presence.
Listening.
And the ability to meet the body where it is—without force.

The right practitioner understands that the body adapts.
That healing doesn’t happen in isolated parts.
And that lasting change takes time, space, and trust.

In our work, we don’t chase symptoms.
We follow patterns.
We stay with the tissue long enough for it to respond.

And just as importantly—
we guide you in understanding your own body,
so the work can continue beyond the treatment room.

Your body knows when it feels safe.
That’s often where the real work begins.

Choosing a highly experienced Myofascial Release therapist is about far more than certifications on a wall. True mastery is reflected in who they are, how they show up, and the depth of healing they continue to pursue within themselves. ❤️‍🩹

1- Look for a therapist who never stops learning—someone who continues to attend seminars, repeat advanced trainings, and refine their hands, presence, and intuition. The best therapists understand that healing is not a destination. It is a lifelong practice.

2- Look for someone who prioritizes their own healing journey. A therapist who does their inner work often has greater sensitivity, compassion, and the ability to hold space for others. They know what it means to move through pain, resistance, fear, and release.

3- Look for someone who leaves ego at the door. Your session should never be about proving how much they know. It should be about listening deeply to your body, honoring your intentions, and meeting you where you are. It’s not about their intentions, it’s yours that matters.

4- Look for someone who becomes centered and present before they enter the treatment room. A regulated nervous system can help regulate another. Presence matters. Energy matters. Intention matters.

5- Look for someone who may gently trigger what is ready to heal—not through force, but through safety, honesty, and skilled presence. Sometimes growth begins when old patterns surface in a space where they can finally be felt and released.

6- Look for someone you feel safe with. Someone whose presence allows your body to soften. Someone you can trust. Someone whose resonance feels genuine.

The right therapist is not just treating tissue. They are helping create the conditions where healing becomes safe and possible.

Your body knows when it is with the right practitioner. Listen to that wisdom.

The body is very good at adapting.
Over time, it finds ways to keep you functioning—
even when things aren’t moving as well as they could.
Sometimes that shows up as:
heaviness
sluggishness
or a sense that something just isn’t flowing the way it used to
This isn’t random.
It’s often the result of how the body has been adapting beneath the surface—
and how that begins to influence movement and fluid flow over time.
We’ve explored this further in our latest TRU Connections article.

When Flow is Supported: Fascia, Lymphatics, and the cost of Adaptation - Fascial Connections Myofascial Release & Wellness Centre The lymphatic system depends on more than movement—it depends on the environment it exists within. When fascia becomes restricted through patterns of adaptation, fluid flow can become less efficient. This article explores how supporting the body’s structure can help restore function and ease.

I see this often in practice, and it’s something I care deeply about—because it impacts more than people realize.
Sharing this in case it helps connect a few dots for someone.

They can create deeper restrictions that influence how tissues move, how organs function, and how the body adapts over time.

For all the women—and for those who love and support them: mothers, partners, sisters, daughters…

This is an important conversation worth listening to.

I recently listened to a discussion between Mel Robbins and Rachel S. Rubin MD - Urologist and Sexual Medicine Specialist that speaks to something I see often within my practice—how deeply hormonal shifts can impact a woman’s body, energy, and ability to cope day to day.

So many women come in navigating symptoms they’ve been carrying quietly, often without clear answers or support.

Education and advocacy in women’s health matter.
The more these conversations are shared, the more opportunity there is for women to feel seen, supported, and guided before things become overwhelming.

How is your body adapting?

Endometriosis is often described by what is happening at the level of the lesions.

But the body experiences it through the entire system.

When irritation or inflammation exists in the pelvis for long periods of time, the body adapts.

The abdomen protects.
The pelvis begins to guard.
Breathing patterns may shift.
Movement changes.

Over time, these protective patterns can begin to involve the fascial network — the connective tissue system that links the pelvis, diaphragm, spine, hips, and abdomen.

Many women living with endometriosis describe symptoms that extend far beyond the reproductive organs.

When we consider how interconnected the body truly is, this begins to make sense.

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month — an important time to recognize the complexity of this condition and the many ways the body adapts in response to it.
