People often ask, “I’ve never even heard of fascia — what got you started in this work?” or something similar.

My first introduction to fascia was in 2017 when I came across a book by Ashley Black called The Cellulite Myth: It’s Not Fat, It’s Fascia.

Ashley Black described fascia, a body system I’d never heard of before, despite being a Certified Nursing Assistant and growing up in a medical family with my midwife mom. I was intrigued by this “new” system and its impact on our bodies and lives. After reading the book, I started paying attention to my own fascia and sharing what I learned with family and friends.

I bought Ashley Black’s fascia tools and began experimenting on myself and anyone willing to let me. Everywhere I went, I observed people’s posture, movement, and alignment. I started noticing things I’d never paid attention to before—like uneven shoulders, misaligned hips, the direction knees were facing, foot positioning while walking, ankle alignment, neck posture, etc.

In 2020, I learned about John Barnes Myofascial Release (MFR) and attended my first MFR training course. I fell in love with this gentle, intuitive way of supporting the body to heal, and immediately began implementing the MFR principles. While I have a special heart for moms and babies, I treat all ages and stages of life - from newborns in their first few hours after birth to clients in their 80’s. I tailor each session to the specific person and situation, so no two sessions are the same. I draw primarily from my Myofascial Release training but am also certified in several other fascia-related modalities - Gillespie Approach Craniosacral Fascial Therapy and Lori Hendrickson Craniosacral Therapy. I find that all these therapeutic methods dovetail beautifully together. I also utilize and recommend the Ashley Black fascia tools, especially for my adult clients’ at-home use between sessions.

In 2024 I opened RoundedCare at my current location on Ten Mile Road in Meridian.
