Day 1 in our transition space! 💙

And monkeys… is it ever great. 😂

I am incredibly grateful to Jason at Health & Performance – Bring It Daily for opening his doors to me during this little in-between chapter of Fascial Connections.

Jason has created an incredible training facility and also has rooms available for therapists who want to run their own businesses — which, very fortunately for me, meant there was a space I could call home while ours is being built.

So while Fascial Connections is transitioning, this is where you’ll find me:

📍 174 Colonnade Rd. South, Unit 29

Just an outfielder’s throw away from our new home at 148 Colonnade…

Okay, maybe a little farther than my throw. But I was never an outfielder. 🤣

This morning I’m mostly feeling grateful.

Grateful that when our construction timeline changed, there was somewhere nearby for me to land.

Grateful to Jason for making this transition so easy.

And grateful that I can continue doing the work I love while, just down the road, our new home is becoming more and more ours every day. 💙

So… Day 1. Here we go!

Temporary home.
Same hands.
Same work.
And our new home just down the road. 💙

When you have a friend who says, “Sure, I’ll help you move that table,” you take it! 😂💙

Things are looking a little different in my office this morning.

My beautiful desk is getting ready to make her way over to the new space today — apparently while I’m busy with my first treatment. 😂

So for now…

we improvise.

My trusty console table has been pulled in from the hallway and promoted to desk duty.

And really, if anything was up for the job, it’s this table.

She’s stood the test of time in the halls of Fascial Connections for the last 10 years. 💙

She’s seen patients come and go, therapists come and go, more changes than I could possibly count…

and apparently she’s got one more job to do before this chapter closes. 😂

It feels a little strange seeing things slowly disappear from the space we’ve called home for so long.

But every piece that leaves here means we’re one piece closer to settling into the next one.

Today, the desk.
For now… the console table has me covered. 😂💙

DAY 4 COMPLETE — WE HAVE WALLS!!! 💙🙌

Yesterday was a BIG day at our new home.

Four days ago, this was essentially one big open room... and SOOOOO many wires. 😂

And now...

WE HAVE WALLS!

I spent yesterday out in the field for our final Held & Herd of the season, while some pretty incredible people were back at the clinic making all of this happen.

Throughout the day, they documented the progress for me — and looking through these photos last night was pretty amazing.

What existed in my head, then on pieces of paper, then as lumber laid out across the floor...

is becoming real.

The treatment rooms are taking shape.
The bathroom is changing.
My little office is appearing.
And you can finally begin to see how this reshaped version of Fascial Connections is going to flow.

But the part I'm most grateful for isn't actually the walls.

It's the people who built them.

My husband.
My son.
My father-in-law.
My uncle.

When we needed help the most, my family showed up.

They carried drywall, framed walls, problem-solved and worked long days — while sending me pictures so I could watch it all come together from a field full of horses. 😂🐴

Family helping family when we needed it most.

There aren't really enough words for how grateful I am for that right now.

This transition has had its fair share of stress, tears, uncertainty and a few well-documented tantrum moments. 😂

But it has also reminded me just how fortunate I am to have people who will show up, roll up their sleeves and essentially say...

Okay. Let's build it.

And build it they have. 💙

And TODAY... we move on to the next pieces.

Electrician and plumber day! 🙌

Lighting.
Switches.
Plumbing.
And hopefully fewer wires hanging absolutely everywhere. 😂

There is still a LOT to happen, but looking through these photos last night, I couldn't help thinking...

Holy crap. We're actually building it.

One step closer to welcoming you home. 💙

Apparently we’re taking the “labour” part of Labour Day rather seriously around here. 😂💙

There is a LOT happening at our new home at 148 Colonnade Rd.

Walls are going up.
Rooms are beginning to take shape.
And an absolutely horrifying amount of old wiring has come down. 😳😂

Slowly, what I’ve been carrying around in my head is becoming something we can actually see.

There is still plenty to do, but every day this space looks a little more like the Fascial Connections I’ve been imagining.

And while the work continues there today… I’m heading to the field. 🐴💙

Today is our last Held & Herd of the season.

While one part of Fascial Connections is quite literally taking shape, I get to spend today immersed in another part of this work that continues to grow and evolve.

Outside.

With the horses.

Connecting.
Learning.
Exploring.

There is so much changing at FC right now.

Some of it involves lumber, drywall and a ridiculous amount of wiring. 😂

Some of it happens on a treatment table.

And some of it happens in a field with seven horses.

All of it is part of what we’re building. 💙

So while the walls continue to go up today, I’m off to spend the day doing something I absolutely love.

Our final Held & Herd of 2026. 🐴

A new home is taking shape…
and so is the next chapter of Fascial Connections. 💙

✨ A Moment to Pause ✨
In the midst of our busy lives, it's easy to move through the day without noticing what our bodies are communicating.
Each week, we invite you to pause with a simple reflection—an opportunity to become curious, explore your own experience, and reconnect with yourself.
There are no right or wrong answers. Just an invitation to notice.
Wishing you moments to pause, reflect, and reconnect this week.

Fascial Connections officially has the keys to our new home!

📍 148 Colonnade Rd., Unit 3

And as you can see…

We’ve got some work to do. 😂

But standing in this completely torn-apart space, I can already see what it’s going to become.

Over the next little while, we’ll be renovating and transforming this space into the home I’ve been envisioning for this next chapter — and this reshaping — of Fascial Connections.

Room to treat.
Room to move.
Room to learn.
Room to explore.
And room for some of the new things I’ve been dreaming about.

Most importantly, I want to create a space that continues to feel like Fascial Connections — just reshaped.

There is a LOT to happen between what you see in these pictures and opening the doors, and I’m excited to bring you along for all of it.

So keep following as we share the transformation, and keep an eye on your email. As soon as this space is ready to begin welcoming everyone, you’ll hear it directly from me.

For today, though…

I’m just going to stand here in the middle of the construction mess, holding the keys, and take this one in.

Because after all the waiting, uncertainty, tears, tantrums and dreaming…

we’re here. 💙

A new home.
The same heart.
And a whole lot of possibility.

Welcome to the next chapter of Fascial Connections.

09/03/2026

Today is Shea's final day with Fascial Connections, and as I sit here thinking about how to say goodbye, I keep coming back to how our story with Shea began more than eight years ago.🤍

More than eight years ago, Shea walked up to me at the Healthy Brain and Body Show and handed me her résumé.

And then... I didn't call her.

Not because I wasn't interested, but because life was busy, I was getting ready to leave for training, and I simply hadn't had the opportunity to sit down and give her résumé the attention it deserved.

So Shea did something that I have never forgotten.

She walked into Fascial Connections.

As it happened, it was the very day I was leaving for that training.

She didn't know me. She didn't know what my answer would be. She simply knew she was interested in the opportunity and decided to show up.

Her drive inspired me.

And I knew.

She was the right fit.

More than eight years later, today we say goodbye to Shea as she finishes her time with Fascial Connections.

And in so many ways, I still see that same woman who walked through the door all those years ago.

Quiet.
Calm.
Thoughtful.

And incredibly driven.

If you've had the opportunity to work with Shea, you also know what an incredibly talented and gifted practitioner she is.

Watching those gifts unfold has been such a joy.

She has continued to learn, explore and expand her work, following her curiosity and developing a practice that is very much her own.

And I am genuinely so excited to see where she takes it from here.

Shea, thank you for walking through that door eight years ago.

Thank you for trusting that little voice that told you to show up.

Thank you for the calm and steadiness you brought into Fascial Connections.

Thank you for the care you have given your patients.

Thank you for your friendship.

And thank you for sharing your incredible gifts with all of us.

I have loved watching you grow, and I cannot wait to see what you do next.

Something tells me that the woman who walked through my door because she knew what she wanted will continue to find her way toward exactly where she is meant to be. 🤍

Every body tells a different story.
Thank you for being part of ours. 💙

Until We See Each Other Again 🤍

As we close the doors on this chapter of Fascial Connections, there are two more people I need to acknowledge.

And this one feels a little different.

Because I’m not quite ready to call it goodbye.

Liza and Victoria, your gifts to this clinic and your talents as practitioners are beyond words.

But what I am perhaps most grateful for is everything you brought beyond the work itself.

You brought your knowledge.

Your compassion.

Your presence.

Your laughter.

Your support.

And you brought yourselves.

I have been incredibly fortunate to work alongside two strong, talented, compassionate women who became not only colleagues, but friends.

Liza, you have walked beside me through more than two years of Fascial Connections — including some pretty rough waters. You were steady when things weren’t always steady. Your passion for Myofascial Release and women’s health so beautifully complemented my own, and having someone beside me who understood and shared that passion has meant more to me than I can adequately put into words.

As you take some time to decide what comes next — whether that eventually brings you back to us or leads you into a well-earned retirement — I hope you know how deeply valued you have been here.

Victoria, our time together in this space has been much shorter, but somehow it doesn’t feel that way. From the moment you reached out, there was something about you that simply fit. You brought warmth, intuition and a beautiful energy into FC, and I am so grateful our paths crossed when they did.

And thankfully, your story with Fascial Connections isn’t finished. While you return temporarily to your private practice during our transition, I very much hope we’ll be welcoming you into our new home again.

So today isn’t really goodbye.

It’s gratitude for what has been.

Excitement for what is changing.

And a little bit of until we see each other again.

Liza and Victoria, thank you for everything you have given to Fascial Connections, to the people who have trusted you with their care…

and to me.

Thank you for your friendship.

Thank you for your support.

Thank you for the light you have brought into this space.

And thank you for being the incredible, powerful women that you are. 🤍

Whatever shape the next chapter takes, I am so grateful that you have been part of this one.

Every body tells a different story.
Thank you for being part of ours. 💙
