© 2025 Fascia & Bones: Unpacking the Mystery
Description
Some things I love—fascia and bones with a detective mystery. I am practicing manual osteopath and structural integrator and love working with the connective tissue of the body and the holistic systems of the body. I am also a long-time educator in the field of bodywork and movement. My hope is to share some insights in the fields I practice.
I am generalist in my practice, which means I do a little of everything and there are some areas I focus on such as neurodivergence, trauma, birth work and chronic pain.
As an educator, I am connected with many people in my fields of study and my hope is to share their experiences and expertise within the discussions we have.
In the new podcast I will begin with interviewing folks starting with the field of Structural Integration (SI). I want to unveil some sticky points in our field and take an honest look at some bias that has happened due to how the lineage was set up by Dr. Ida Rolf. In the future, I hope to interview a broader range of innovators in the field of fascia.

Send us a text In Episode 14, I am discussing some of the ideas around bones, hormones and blood! I finally have arrived to talking about bones. As a manual osteopath, I have been trained to work with bones through a variety of techniques. The term “osteopathy” was coined by its founder Dr. Andrew Taylor Still. The root of “osteon” is bone from Greek. Also from Greek, “Pathos” is the root for “suffering”. Learning to treat bones flipped my manual therapy work literally inside out. It was the ...

I imagined I was in the Scottish Highlands, the place my ancest...
Send us a text In Episode 7, I will be discussing concepts around embodiment of pelvis, the anatomy, root chakra, and a sense of belonging. What does it mean to be rooted? Is it belonging to place with connection to earth and sky? Or is there a sense of inhabiting one’s roots or seat of your soul in your pelvis and sacrum? I would say that these are concepts and ideas I have explored for many years and later this month I am interviewing Denise Foster Scott, Soma Practitioner, Educator and BCS...

Send us a text Part 1 The nights are drawing in earlier here in the mountains and the moon is shining brighter as we come on to the upcoming Hunter’s Moon. We were sleeping outside over 9,000 feet amongst the spruce, pine and golden orange red aspen trees. There is something about being in the mountains that is in my blood and bones. There was a femur bone in our camp site, maybe an elk. The next day we road our mountain bikes and stumbled on many tibia bones, most likely cow and found a juve...
