Observe, then learn by doing.

My Philosophy

Fascia?

You won't find another bodyworker in the US with my unique technique, and I want to change that. This site showcases my work with clients, highlighting individualized treatments based on initial assessments.

I have studied in Thailand, India, Vietnam, the US, Canada, and my home country, the Philippines.

I'll get to the point. Underneath our skin, our muscles, tendons, ligaments, and everything else in our bodies are shrink-wrapped in fascia.

When we were children, our bodies and everything in them moved fluidly. As we age and experience various traumas, our fascia loses this fluidity and elasticity, partly due to lifestyle, posture, diet, and routine.

Sticky fascia is often the source of pain and tenderness. When we experience this, it's the fascia responding to a lack of hydration, oxygen, and blood flow.

My technique essentially scrubs the insides from the outside, increasing blood flow and hydration to the fascia, muscles, ligaments, and tendons.

The result? Improved flexibility, better blood flow, and less tenderness and overall pain. The initial process itself can be painful, but the results speak for themselves.

Getting To Work

I begin each treatment with an assessment of my client's flexibility through a few simple postures.

First, I have clients raise their arms above their heads to observe their range of motion. Next, I ask them to attempt grasping their hands behind their back—one arm over the shoulder and the other up from the lower back—then switch arms and try again.

I then measure their ability to touch their toes.

This is followed by a squatting test, with feet flat and heels on the ground. If this is done easily, I assess whether the client can kneel on the table and then slowly lean back with heels on either side of the hips.

Any restrictions I observe during this assessment provide clues about where to focus. Each client is different.

Together, using my hands and tools, we begin a journey to healing.
