What is Myofascial Release?
Fascia is a continuous web of connective tissue that runs through your entire body—surrounding muscles, bones, nerves, and organs. Think of it like a three-dimensional sweater woven through everything.
When fascia becomes restricted—through injury, stress, inflammation, surgery, or just years of tension—it can create pain, stiffness, and limited movement. Often in places far from the original source.
Myofascial release is a hands-on approach that uses gentle, sustained pressure to release these restrictions. Unlike traditional massage, which often focuses on muscles in isolation, MFR works with the fascial system as a whole.
What makes it different:
Slow and sustained — Fascia doesn't respond to quick pressure. It needs time. Holds are often 3-5 minutes or longer.
Follows the body — I don't force. I wait for the tissue to soften and guide where we go next.
Addresses root causes — Pain in your neck might originate in your hip. MFR treats the whole pattern, not just the symptom.
Many clients come to me after years of chasing pain with temporary solutions. MFR offers something different: lasting change by addressing what's actually holding you.
With my clients, chronic issues will alleviate and sometimes disappear entirely.
Clients often tell me they leave not just with less pain, but with clarity. They feel grounded. Lighter. More at home in their bodies than they have in years.
That's not an accident. The way I work is as much about presence as technique.
When you're on my table, you're not a problem to be solved. You're a person whose body has been holding something—maybe for a long time. My job is to be present enough, patient enough, that your nervous system can finally let go.
This isn't about me doing something to you. It's about creating conditions where your body can do what it already knows how to do. If you want to learn even more about Fascia and how to release it, check out my blog!
Who am I?
I spent years working in technology—building systems, searching for answers in frameworks and ideas. Then I discovered that the body knows things the mind can't reach.
Myofascial release became my practice—not just a technique, but a way of being present with people. I've learned that healing isn't something I do to someone. It's what happens when the nervous system finally feels safe enough to let go.
My clients have often tried everything—PT, chiropractic, injections, medications—with limited results. What I offer is different: patience, presence, and trust in the body's own wisdom.
I'm a Los Angeles native currently building my practice in Portland, Oregon. During the transition, I travel between both cities—reach out if you're in either area.
