Heal your pain and trauma with gentle, safe, highly effective
Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR) through the John F. Barnes Approach.
As a Myofascial Release Therapist, my mission is to help heal pain and trauma throughout the physical body, including emotional healing, and to further healing for those who want to retain or regain flexibility and range of motion, for those diagnosed with and/or exhibiting fascial pain, and conditions including fibromyalgia, and also people who are considering or recovering from surgery. To help people let go of fascial restrictions that cause discomfort and dysfunction, and to "let the light in" again by facilitating authentic healing, and by being a source of and a resource for inner light.
A client-centered approach to pain relief inspires me to create a space for authentic healing.
It’s a privilege to serve the Brainerd Lakes Area by providing customized healing attention through my expert level training and application of gentle, highly effective, pain relieving MFR Therapy.
"I survived. No matter what happened to me, I love me and give myself permission to heal. I give myself permission to be fully present, fully aware and fully powerful. I give myself permission to be fully me. I allow my beautiful luminous essence to fill my body and into every aspect of my being, filling myself with love and light."

PAIN AND TRAUMA
"Letting Go"
Do you ever wonder why even though you have gotten up, brushed yourself off, and "moved on" from an injury or accident, you still feel the residual effects? It's because we are designed to brace against force. Those bracing, guarding and holding patterns, caused by tissue memory and stored in the fascia, eventually produce dysfunction, if the initial trauma was not enough to do so on it's own. Myofascial Release helps the body heal and "let go" of pain, trauma and dysfunction.
CAN MFR HELP ME?
"You Don't Just Have To Live With It"
A common question is who can MFR help? Really, anyone who has pain and trauma, or who is looking to feel better in their body overall. From common ailments like neck and back pain, and pain in extremities, to more complex issues like fibromyalgia. I also love treating people at retirement age. So often the typical aches and pains of aging can melt away during our sessions. "Why didin't I try this sooner?" is a common refrain. For anyone in need of a Myofascial Relase Therapist they can trust, I’m dedicated to building long-lasting relationships based on caring and integrity with every single patient. Let's get you back to feeling great ... and let your inner light shine!
PRE and POST-OP THERAPY
"Improving Outcomes"
"Your surgeon will thank you." John F. Barnes has said this many times at the seminars I have taken to learn his techniques. It is not your fault that recovery may be slower than expected. Helping people heal after the trauma of surgery is a specialty of mine. I also love helping those with joint replacements gain range of motion and decrease pain. Additionally, receiving Myofasical Release prior to surgery can improve outcomes as you are not trying to recover with the compensation pattern you will likely have developed before seeking surgical intervention.
HOW MANY SESSIONS ... ?
"The Crystal Ball Question"
There's only one you, and you are the only one who lived your life with all that encompasses. While the Good Stuff is in there too, the trauma gets stuck. The number of sessions varies completely from person to person, and is dependent on what we are looking to accomplish, and the issue(s) we are treating. However, JFB MFR is highly effective. We generally find results and improvement after the first session, but I ask people to give it four sessions. Things will shift and change, and you will be different each time we treat. But we are building on a foundation, looking at the whole body and achieving lasting results. Some people only come until their issue is resolved. some people have chronic issues and find relief, and some just love to keep receiving treatment because it just feels so great!
