YOUR FACE IS A BOOK – ‘notes’ on the face
“Your face is an open book.” The bone and the core of the person holds our deepest levels of experience. When we say, I just know that in my bones, that really means something. One incredible place in our bodies where the bones rest just under the surface is the face. It is, tellingly, also…
Read MoreBodyworkers Wanted – to Change the World!
SOCIAL SUBLUXATION As bodyworkers, we naturally want to help with misalignment. Slight dislocations of the sacroiliac joint, the tarsal bones, the suboccipital region – addressing these well can re-balance the entire system. So if they’re “out” or stuck in place, we may help. Yet sometimes we feel the enormity of the world around us –…
Read MoreHOMEWARD BOUND
Perhaps the most serious energetic imbalance is the excessive, upward displacement of attention to the upper half of the body. In our culture the face and head get an exorbitant amount of focus.

Read MoreYOUR SECOND BRAIN – AND WHERE IT IS…
The enteric nervous system (ENS) is one of the main divisions of the autonomic nervous system and consists of a mesh-like system of neurons that governs the function of the gastrointestinal system. The enteric nervous system has a complete network of neurons, neurotransmitters, and special proteins responsible for communications, “thinking,” “remembering,” and “learning”. As a…
Read MoreDo you know the biggest health secret?
Perhaps the biggest health secret humankind needs to hear is being carried by the bodywork profession! What do you think it is? Ever since Ida Rolf stressed the important of verticality and the role that fascia plays in that – we have seen, in essence, the final step in human evolution. Most humans are stuck…
Read MoreDeep Massage and the Two-Sides of the Iliopsoas
I believe an important opportunity is missed when people work with the iliopsoas only unilaterally (one-side at a time). The “crura” (meaning “legs”) of the diaphragm interdigitate with the origins of the psoas. The feeling of standing in a balanced way on two legs is supported by the bilaterality of the psoas’ structure and function…
