Live without pain
I can help relieve your chronic or unexplained pain especially if you have tried everything else.
The Myofascial Release Approach
It can be really frustrating being in pain and not able to do the things you need to do. Using Myofascial Release I look at your body standing and out of gravity to find the imbalances. We work together to reach your goals. Want to be able to walk more than 30 minutes without back pain? I can help you with that. Want to sleep 8 hours without waking from hip pain? I can help you with that. Ready to meet your goals? Click on the learn more button below.

If you were wondering how I became a Myofascial Release Therapist let me tell you a little about my story. After I finished High School I joined the Army. I served for two years in a light Infantry Division. It was an extremely physical assignment and my body could not keep up.
When I was discharged I had so much pain in both my legs it was difficult to walk the length of 1/2 a football field. My lower back was weak and sore making it nearly impossible to pick up a full laundry basket. My right hip popped and had a dull ache and frequently kept me up at night. My neck was functional but sore and my right hand would tingle and become numb with writing, eating and driving. I had never body pain like that in my life. I tried some low impact activity, swimming and yoga. All helped me function a little better but not enough for me to feel a real lasting difference.
Years later a friend of mine told me about Myofascial Release and how it could help me with my pain and I could help my patients. I was a Physical Therapist Assistant at a small hospital at the time and was frustrated with the lack of progress some patients were making. I was skeptical taking my first MFR class but thought I would try it. I had watched my friend who is also a Physical Therapist treat a pediatric patient and her hand placement on his chest and back seemed as it was not doing anything. However I watched the child progress with every treatment. He started to speak more, engage more and become active when before he was drooling, stationary and distant. I thought this was amazing!
So in 2016 I decided to sign up for my first John Barnes Myofascial Release class. After a two day class I was able to walk without limping, sleep without hip pain and felt more energy and lightness in my body then I had in over 20 years. I was hooked. A week after my first MFR class I enrolled in Massage Therapy School and vowed to open my own clinic to help others with Myofascial Release. That dream came true in April of 2023! Since opening I have helped 100's of clients get out of pain and back to what they want and need to do.
I will always continue to educate myself. I have taken approximately 22 classes with over 450 hours learning the most gentle and effective techniques to help YOU! I am not even close to being done yet. I will never stop learning. Please feel free to call me or to email me. I am here to help you.
I have also received treatment from experts at Therapy on the Rocks in Sedona and a local expert in my area. I know that receiving Myofascial Release for myself will not only allow me to get out of pain and stay out of pain but it helps me continue to be a better treating therapist for my clients. I don't ask my clients to do something I am not willing to do myself.

“I cannot say enough good things about the treatment I received. Genevieve is the seventh medical professional that I have been to for my condition. The last three Chiropractors plus one DO have all pointed out how tight I am in my shoulders but not one has done a thing to alleviate my discomfort. After several Myofascial Release treatments my condition has improved dramatically. I was scheduled to have surgery on both wrists for carpal tunnel. My improvement has been so dramatic that I cancelled the appointments.”
