Beautiful flowers from one of my beautiful clients!

One of the things I love about my job is getting to know so many wonderful and talented people. Everyone has their own unique gifts they bring to the world. Sharing our gifts and talents blesses others and encourages them to do the same.

My goal for all of my clients is to support their overall health and well being so they can do what they love! Whether it is gardening, hiking, or just keeping up with their grandkids.

Pain can steal our joy and freedom. I am so grateful to offer myofascial release, which can be absolutely life changing for people struggling with chronic pain.

Can you remember life without pain? Or has it become a distant memory.

You deserve to feel your best! You deserve to participate in life and love!

Stop suffering and give yourself the gift of healing through myofascial release!

You are more than your diagnosis! You are not fibromyalgia, you are not lupus, you are not just someone with a bad back. Your pain and health struggles are part of your story, but they are not who you are!
You are a whole being with a body, mind, heart and soul.
What I love about John Barnes Myofascial Release is that we honor and respect each person and their inherent ability to heal. As therapists, we simply create an environment to encourage the healing process.

While we acknowledge symptoms and diagnoses, we treat the whole person and follow the body’s lead.

This approach is a big part of why myofascial release brings relief when other therapies have failed. There are no pre-planned protocols, your treatment will always be based on what your body is presenting in real time.

Body knows best and myofascial release is a beautiful and effective way to heal using your body’s wisdom.

Diagnosis Is a Label… But You Are So Much More. 💜

A diagnosis can help identify a condition, guide medical care, and provide a common language between healthcare providers.

But a diagnosis does not tell the whole story of you.

Two people can have the exact same diagnosis and experience completely different symptoms, compensations, pain patterns, emotions, and healing journeys.

In the John F. Barnes Approach to Myofascial Release, we don’t chase a diagnosis—we listen to the body.

Instead of asking, “What’s wrong with this shoulder?” or “How do we fix this knee?” we ask:

✨ What is the body protecting?
✨ Where did the compensation begin?
✨ What restrictions are preventing the body from functioning as a whole?

Pain is often the last place the problem shows up.

The source may be an old injury, surgery, emotional trauma, repetitive stress, or fascial restriction that has caused the entire body to compensate over time.

Every muscle, bone, organ, nerve, and vessel is connected through one continuous fascial system.

When we treat the whole person—not just the label—we honor the body’s innate wisdom and create the opportunity for lasting change.

You are not your diagnosis.

You are a whole human being with a story, a nervous system, emotions, experiences, and an incredible capacity to heal.

Healing begins when we stop treating labels… and start listening to the person.

Healthy fascia allows all parts of your body to function optimally!

05/18/2026

People spend hundreds—even thousands—of dollars on protein shakes, vitamins, collagen, detoxes, supplements, and “healthy” products… yet still feel inflamed, exhausted, bloated, stuck in pain, or chronically depleted.

Why?

Because if the fascia is restricted, compressed, dehydrated, and the nervous system is stuck in stress and survival mode… the body may not fully absorb or utilize what you’re putting into it.

It’s like pouring water onto a rock.
The nutrients hit the body… but they’re not truly penetrating to the cellular level where healing and repair happen.

Fascia is the body’s communication and transportation system.
It surrounds every muscle, organ, nerve, blood vessel, and cell. When fascia becomes tight, twisted, glued down, or restricted from trauma, inflammation, stress, surgery, repetitive strain, or emotional holding patterns, circulation and fluid exchange can become compromised.

The body may struggle with:
✨ Nutrient absorption
✨ Hydration
✨ Cellular communication
✨ Oxygenation
✨ Detoxification
✨ Lymphatic flow
✨ Blood flow
✨ Nervous system regulation

You can eat all the “right” foods and take the best supplements in the world… but if the terrain of the body is restricted, congested, and under tension, the body may not efficiently receive or distribute what it needs.

This is why many people notice changes after John Barnes’ Myofascial Release:
✨ Better circulation
✨ Improved digestion
✨ Reduced inflammation
✨ Increased hydration in tissues
✨ Better body awareness
✨ Improved nervous system regulation
✨ Feeling more energized and “alive”

The goal isn’t just to add more into the body.
Sometimes the body first needs SPACE.

Space to breathe.
Space to circulate.
Space to receive.
Space to heal.

When the restrictions release, the body often functions more efficiently—because the system is no longer fighting against layers of tension and compression.

Healing is not only about what you put into the body…
It’s also about what the body is able to receive.
