It has been proven that what happens in the mind and body are connected, yet many only treat one aspect of the problem. Come learn from two practitioners that have vast experience in clinically treating the mind and body. The class will be experiential and didactic, so that you will understand as well as experience how they work together. This is a great combination of techniques to address pain in the body, release stuck feelings, change negative energy, address chronic illness, help with anxiety and stress, and relax your overall system.

Myofascial release is a gentle manual treatment that releases the connective tissue within the body to unwind old patterns and release trauma and injury, giving freedom of movement to muscles joints and bones for healthy living.
