John F. Barnes Expert Myofascial Release Therapist

 

Hello! I am a Board Certified and Licensed Massage Therapist specializing in the John F. Barnes’ Myofascial Release Approach. I have been helping people for over 18 years maintain their health and wellness by reducing pain, improving mobility and restoring range of motion and flexibility.  

I graduated with Academic Honors from the Baltimore School of Massage with a Professional Certification in Comprehensive Massage Therapy for a Medical Setting. My passion to explore and learn more about holistic health and well-being, led me to Chaing Mai, Thailand to develop my knowledge in Eastern Theory and Traditonal Thai Bodywork at the Thai Massage School of Chiang Mai and the Baan Hom Samunphrai Herbal and Health Training Center. 

In 2008, I took my first Myofascial Release course with renowned expert and visionary teacher John F. Barnes, PT. and it changed my life personally and professionally. After applying what I learned over those 10 days, my clients began to experience long, lasting change in their symptoms. Their pain became less and less. They could move better, sleep better and function in their life with more ease. I also witnessed how each client’s mind-body was interwoven with their tension and/or pain. Different life experiences, stresses and emotions current and past were interlinked to their physical pain. This work allowed clients to resolve their pain and experience themselves with a much deeper awareness and live their lives more fully. JFBMFR has also been an essential and powerful part of my own healing journey and I feel deeply honored to be a practitioner of this work.

In my practice, I exclusively utilize the healing art of Myofascial Release. I am an Expert Level Therapist of the John F. Barnes’ Myofascial Release Approach. I have completed three clinical internships with John at the Sanctuary (his Eastern Myofascial Release Treatment Center) and continue taking JFBMFR courses each year to bring the highest level of healing to my clients through Myofascial Release. 

I help people who have tried other therapies without success or little results and I help people who have been told their only option is surgery, medications or injections. My experience and advanced training enables me to work with a wide range of patients with a variety of symptoms and diagnoses to meet their individual goals of well-being.
