Discovering Fascial Manuevers
I began practicing Fascial Maneuvers in December 2022 and soon discovered how much gentle, intentional movement and focused breathing could change the way my own body felt and moved.
As my experience grew, so did my desire to share this work with others. In 2025, I became a Certified Level One Fascial Maneuvers Coach through Human Garage and now offer both one-on-one coaching and group classes.
Fascial Maneuvers are different from traditional massage because the movements are designed to be learned and practiced on your own. My role is to guide you through the movements, help you understand what you are feeling and give you tools you can continue using outside of our time together.
What are Fascial Maneuvers
Human Garage Fascial Maneuvers are a self-healing movement practice combining slow, intentional movements including rotation/counter-rotation, pin & lock, deep breathing, and focused intention to release tension and "unlock" stored stress and trauma from the body's connective tissue (fascia - a fluid gel-like web that supports our muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons, organs).
Developed by Human Garage, these techniques aim to improve mobility, reduce pain, reset the nervous system, and foster emotional release, allowing people to change their physical and emotional responses to life's challenges.
How They Work:
-
Targeting Fascia: The core belief is that emotions and trauma get physically held in the fascia, creating blockages and pain.
-
Movement & Breath: Maneuvers involve specific sequences of slow stretches, twists, and holds, synchronized with deep breaths to gently unwind these restrictions.
-
Emotional Release: This process can trigger physical reactions like crying, shaking, or laughter as stored stress is released.
Key Aspects:
-
Self-Healing: Empowering individuals to take control of their own healing.
-
Trauma & Stress: Aims to release deep-seated physical and emotional stress.
-
Systemic Reset: Goes beyond temporary fixes by changing how your body reacts to events, leading to significant life shifts.
