I’m Heather- a Fascia Alchemy trained Myofascial Release (MFR) bodyworker, boy-Mom to one, homesteader, willow grower and weaver and sourdough bread expert.
After the birth of my son- I started a healing journey that had me examining the disconnect I felt to my body. The past 2-3 years I have spent learning from other women, reconnecting with my body in many ways to resolve chronic pain and regain strength to allow myself to do my very physical job of bread baking.
Through this time I discovered fascia- the full body web of connective tissue that surrounds pretty much every organ, muscle and structure and is integrated throughout our whole body.
Tending to my own fascia with self bodywork learned online relieved me of so much tension and ongoing pain in my body! But I could not find anyone who did this specific type of bodywork close by. I decided to sign up for my mentor Lindsay Courcelle’s training Fascia Alchemy.
I have always been interested in the human body- I have an Honours BSc in Human Kinetics from University of Guelph, where I even got to take Human Anatomy and dissect a real human body. I feel like taking this training and offering MFR is a return home to my original interest but in a way that is more open and aligned with how I see the body as one whole system instead of separate parts.
I can now offer this type of healing modality locally to women and men. I feel so blessed and excited to share it with anyone who needs it (everyone, in my opinion!).
