About
As a practicing massage therapist, I developed a sense of touch, a "feel" that made me an effective practitioner. I focused on addressing the dysfunction of the body's soft tissues, not just on relaxation. I helped patients make incredible gains, both physically and emotionally, but always felt like there was something more that I could be doing to assist in their healing. Then, in 2012, I found John Barnes. At my first seminar, I knew I had found what I was looking for.
John Barnes Myofascial Release: What's in a name?
I learned some basic Myofascial Release, MFR, techniques in massage school. Most people do. Like them, I even listed MFR as a service I provided in my beginning massage practice. I even watched commercially produced instructional training videos on Myofascial Release. But once I heard John Barnes speak, saw him demonstrate his method, and then experienced it first-hand, I realized that I knew very little about MFR and healing. . . and the human body for that matter. I knew that I had to change that. So, I set out to take every training from him that I possibly could.
John Barnes is the founder of Myofascial Release therapy. He has continued to advance the modality--his knowledge often outpacing scientific discoveries that continue to back up his theories. What he teaches goes far beyond what is taught by other instructors and massage schools. It is more than just a physical practice . . . it is a way of being. I now have over 100 hours of hands-on training with John Barnes under my belt. Not only have I adopted his techniques, but also his philosophy: In order for healing to occur, the body must be addressed as the comprehensive, complex entity that it is. That is to say that we are more than just physical beings, we are energetic beings too.
You can choose to deny it and consider us little more than a collection of cells and molecules. Or you can open your mind to a new paradigm and begin to see yourself, and the world, in a different light. You can keep going to the doctor for test after inconclusive test, keep taking medications to mask your symptoms, keep doing PT exercises that exacerbate your pain, keep getting oily rub-downs whose effects are minimal and short-lived . . . or you can come to Matrix-Myofascial for something new and just as comprehensive as you.
Something for the Little People
Most people think of massage and bodywork as being something only for adults. Everyone understands the benefit of bodywork to address injuries and holding patterns that have persisted for years . . . but how does that apply to children?
A child's body, like their mind, is incredibly resilient. However, because they are growing, they have their own set of physical issues that can be addressed by bodywork. As bones grow, tissues can be stretched to the point of pain--especially fascia and dense connective tissues. Bodywork can help ease these growing pains. The benefits of this on your child's development are every bit as meaningful, if not more so, than any benefit to an adult. Bodywork can improve your child's sleep, reduce their anxiety, help them feel more secure in their body and their environment, and reduce pain. It can also have a profound impact on their self image and interpersonal relations.
Considering this under-served population, I discovered the Little Kidz Foundation. This is the only accredited entity in the US currently offering any kind of training, and certification, in pediatric massage that goes beyond, "Just use less pressure," as I (and most massage therapists, for that matter) was taught in massage school. Tina Allen, founder of the foundation, is THE premiere expert on the subject of pediatric massage. I attended her training and went on to receive her certification as a Pediatric Massage Therapist. If you are curious about how massage could possibly help your child, please send me an email.

In 2008, I assessed my life and realized that I needed to heal in order to find meaning and satisfaction in life. But the healing wasn't just for me. I realized that I wasn't just focused on myself and my own suffering but the suffering of others as well--be it physical or emotional. I was hearing a call to become a healer. So, in 2009, I attended massage school. Eager to learn a new skill to help others, I soaked up the training like a sponge.As a practicing massage therapist, I developed a sense of touch, a "feel" that made me an effective practitioner.
