FAQs
About MFR & Massage
When looking in the mirror, is your posture crooked?
Do you have pain?
Is it hard to stand or sit up straight for extended periods of time?
Do your muscles feel tight?
Do you feel overly tired?
If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, you likely have fascial restrictions. A skilled MFR practitioner can verify the presence of fascial restrictions through touch and observation of your body.
Myofascial Release is done directley on the skin.
Loose fitting clothing such as gym shorts or bathing suit bottoms (men and women), and swimsuit top or sports bra for women or regular undergarments are acceptable; as long as we can gain access to the skin.
Please do NOT apply lotion or oil of any kind as this will interfere with gaining the necessary traction used for effective myofascial release.

About Yoga & Meditation
I have been trained in Hatha Yoga of the slow tradition. This flow incorporates pranayama (mindful breathing) to practice presence as we flow slowly and intentionally through different asanas (postures) to open the body into greater strength and flexibility.
I offer private instruction: 1-on-1, at my studio in Grants Pass, OR as well as via Zoom, Skype or Facetime for anyone, anywhere. *Instruction offered in English and Spanish.
I also teach in the town of Grants Pass, current classes are by pre-registration only and happen on Wednesdays. Please visit: www.blissfulbeingwellness.com/yoga for more information on current classes and to register.
Group instruction is available privately at your desired gathering place.
Meditation is part of my Hatha Yoga instruction AND can be taught separately if desired.
For many of us, it can be challenging to quiet the active mind and settle into a peaceful space within ourselves. It takes practice, every time.
I have found that with the help of a flame (live or battery-powered), we can have a point of focus that captivates our attention and allows us to calm. I also have guided clients through powerful visualizations through scenes and through the body.
Another meditation practice I teach is called Yoga Nidra, offered monthly at Sundance.
Find out when the next scheduled Yoga Nidra Meditation (mailto:blissfulbeingwellness@gmail.com?subject=Yoga Nidra Notification)is.
It would be an honor, yes!
I am available for groups of all levels, ages, and experience.
