My sister was diagnosed with breast cancer 1 year ago. This year my sister and I will be walking the Susan G. Colman 3 -Day for a Cure in October. My Goal is to raise $2300.00. I will be donating 10% of my fees from a Myofascial Release session to this cause. If you would like to make a direct donation on my behalf it would be greatly appreciated. Please follow this link to my direct donation page. Thank you!

Live Fascia Video: A short segment from J.C.Guimberteau’s compelling video, “Strolling Under the Skin” (Promenade sous la peau) which received critical acclaim at the Fascial Research Conference in 2007. This video clip shows how fascia moves freely when not restricted.
Techniques: This excerpt shows some of the techniques used in a Myofascial Release session.
