Some phrases I've heard recently from my Myofascia

Some phrases I've heard recently from my Myofascial release sessions....and I've experienced it all before and still do sometimes.Years ago I didn't even know what my body was holding onto...I was running through life totally unaware until I fell apart and tried acupuncture for the first time and then went on to many other healing modalities . When you receive even the smallest release, a shift so subtle but enough to make you realize that you could feel better in your body, it changes everything!Myofascial release can produce huge shifts because of the full body reach of our fascia and the way the techniques focus on long, sustained touch.I learned self release work and it changed my life. Now I'm offering in person MFR sessions, because there is something about the touch of someone else that you trust that hits in a different way! And I am also running a workshop in September to teach you how to do your own self treatment.You can book a session with me thru the 🔗 in my bioAnd check out the pinned post about Healing with your own Hands event in September @domeretreat if you want to learn to take care of yourself!DMs are always open for questions ❤️#myofascialtherapy #myofascialrelease #myofascialbodywork #fascialalchemy #fasciahealth #bodywork #releaseyourfascia #releasetension #ottawavalley #renfrewcounty #ottawa

We have a bumper crop of currants this year! These

We have a bumper crop of currants this year! These plants were moved a few years ago from a very sandy spot on the lawn where they were dried out and starved of nutrients. I honestly didn't have much hope for them.But like our bodies, putting them into the right environment with the best inputs allowed them to thrive!What they have now that they didn't before...👉Ground that has added organic matter via our cow compost
👉Full sun on a south facing slope
👉Planted in front of a hugelkultur bed that traps moisture and blocks wind (see the last slide for a photo)
👉This year a perfect amount of rain and heat for the bumper crop
👉 Amazing energy, frequency and love that cannot easily be described here on our farm, you have to experience it for yourself!I want to weave this into a short convo about ourselves and our bodies. When we place ourselves into the right environments more often, we will feel healthier. We feel happier. I notice this contrast so much for Canadians when winter goes away and we are outside more.The stiffness in my body is less, my skin improves, I feel lighter and generally am happier.How have you been feeling now that summer is finally here?!#fasciahealth #myofascialrelease

Feels like it's been awhile since I introduced myself on here! I'm Heather and I've tried to take myself out of the many boxes I've put myself into for years...intro posts feel like boxes to me 😅But I've got a new chapter blooming, so it's a good time to do it.I've been known as the "bread lady" for over a decade. I'm a sourdough bread expert who teaches and bakes bread in an outdoor wood fired oven.But I'm also a mother to a busy, energetic son, a partner to the love of my life, a farmer and homesteader, a willow grower and weaver and more recently a myofascial release bodyworker!My sun sign is Aquarius, with Virgo rising and I'm also a 3/6 emotional projector in Human Design (oh yeah, I'm also a certified HD reader).I love to be at home and I also love people (but not all the time 😅). I love the water and trees and the amazing land and animals we steward at our farm. I've become really passionate about self healing and trusting ourselves and our bodies in this crazy world where we outsource so much. And I can see how it all connects and weaves together even when it doesn't make sense.I hope for a brighter future in what seems like darker times and I also know that actions speak louder than words so I strive to be of service so that we can build a better place for the next generations to come!Recently that is coming through as becoming a myofascial release bodyworker- using my hands on bodies to heal, because as our relationships with our bodies grow, the more connected we can feel to everything 🌱🌀❤️I think that's enough now! Thank you for being here. I love you all 💞#myofascialrelease #selfhealing #handsonhealing #myofascialbodywork #homesteadlife #humandesign

Myofascial release (MFR)! We get diagnoses, we go

Myofascial release (MFR)! We get diagnoses, we go to the physio, the chiropractor, the doctor, the massage therapist. We do endless exercises and take pills to get through the pain whether it's a headache, a throbbing lower back, tight hips, sciatica, fibromyalgia etc. We treat the pieces and maybe the pain goes away but it keeps coming back eventually.It's because our body is not made of separate pieces. It's made of systems and these systems are all connected by FASCIA. A restriction in one place in our body is affecting another because the threads are being too pulled right from that other spot. Injuries from accidents or trauma years ago can create these adhesions and stay with us, unless we find a way to release them.The gentle, deep and lasting techniques that MFR uses unravel these places in our body and create lasting change. Repeated treatment over a period of time can release and re pattern the body to get you feeling your best! And that is just the beginning. Once you release your physical restrictions, your mental and emotional blocks follow.Myofascial release bodywork is coming to the Ottawa Valley soon! Stay tuned ❤️🙌#myofascialrelease #fascia #myofascialbodywork #releasetension #releasepain #chronicpain #ottawavalley #renfrewcounty #ottawa #releaseyourfascia

Get ready for some fascia info! I'm sure some of you already know this- fascia is an amazing system in our body. Connective tissue that runs everywhere, connecting literally every single thing in our body. It feels , it holds emotion and trauma, it conducts electricity, it aligns with the meridians from Chinese medicine. No wonder that acupuncture was the very first modality I tried when I was chronically sick that made me feel different.Tending to my fascia has been a game changer for my life- I started because of the pain, but once the energy started flowing as well my life began to evolve in ways I never could have imagined. Scroll to read some of the reasons why!I am so excited to offer Myofascial release starting in July and also an in person event in September (stay tuned!). If you want to know when I open my books drop a 🌀 below and I'll be in touch ❤️🙏#myofascialrelease

I'm not one to hop on trends, but this morning was a perfect example of this. I just had a big bake day and delivery this week, woke up with a to do list for the garden/farm in my head and was on a mission to get it done. Shortly after I started I got super frustrated and started feeling bitter with something I was trying to do( drop irrigation is the devil and is now in the hands of my man who handles such things with way more grace than me).The feeling of being behind in the garden is endless, nothing new here, but the late spring has to put the pressure on! So instead of continuing, I made a decaf coffee, took my shoes off and sat. Told myself it was only 9:30am and that it's ok to take a rest already 😅.Old me, always pushes through. Never takes breaks when I needed them. Now, I slow down, take a breather, appreciate this beautiful place I live in and then get back to it when I'm ready.#ialmostforgotwhatthepointis #projectorenergy #definedwillcenter #ottawavalley
