Welcome to Forresting the soul

Return to your true nature.
Fascia release and awareness coaching in Springfield, Missouri

In a world full of distractions, come back to the body. Hands-on fascia release, somatic awareness coaching, and small circles at the Den, in studio on Glenstone or online.

Be still and remember

Helping people feel again.

Three ways in, and all of them come back to the same thing: getting you out of your head and into the body that has been carrying you.

Hands on

Fascia Release and Mapping

Slow, intentional pressure with no oil, following the connective tissue that wraps every muscle and holds the shape of what you have been through. Sessions run from sixty minutes to three hours, one on one.

One on one

Awareness Coaching

Awareness coaching that starts in the tissue: fascia mapping and release work, in person or virtual, one on one or in a circle. The same work pointed at a business instead of a life is Systems Coaching.

In circle

Classes, Ceremonies and the Den

Cacao, sound, fascia classes and small circles at the Den on Glenstone, most Tuesday nights. Most are donation based and the room holds about ten, so it stays a conversation.

Cacao

Cacao ceremonies, and everywhere she has taken me

A warm drink, a quiet room, and about two hours where nobody needs anything from you. Most Tuesday evenings at the Den, and privately for couples, small groups and retreats. Costa Rica is where it started; Peru, Sicily and London are where it has gone since.

Fascia research

The latest in fascia and fascial release research

Fascia is the connective tissue that wraps every muscle, bone and organ in the body, and the science around it keeps moving. I keep a running page of the newest studies and what they actually mean for how you move, release and heal, updated as the research comes in.

My Access Bars® session was a surprise. I couldn’t imagine how so little action would have such a profound impact and never thought an hour could pass so quickly. I felt like floating, places I hurt would start feeling warm and a deep relaxation set in. So I went from “sure I’ll try it once” to “I want this regularly”. Just had my second session followed by a massage which was perfect because it made my massage even better going into it with amazing relaxation. Wonderful experience.
