Since 2017, I have been engaging with fascia through my artistic practice and as a holistic support to my health.
Receiving treatments has helped me prevented injuries, release chronic tensions, and find a better sleep.
Having completed my training in Fascia and Somato-Psycho-Pedagogy in June 2024, I now am very happy to accompany anyone who is curious about this somatic technique, or in need of treatments.
What is fascia?
Fascia is a continuous, fibrous connective tissue network primarily composed of collagen and a fluid substance called hyaluronan. It forms a three-dimensional spiderweb-like matrix that envelops, penetrates, and connects basically everything in the body—organs, muscles, bones, nerves, joints, blood vessels, tendons, and ligaments.
This fascial network provides structural support, transmits mechanical forces, and facilitates communication between different body systems.
As a richly innervated sensory tissue, fascia also plays a vital role in proprioception and interoception—our ability to sense movement, position, and internal bodily states.
Trauma and stress, small or big, physical or psychological, can cause fascia to lose its natural elasticity. When fascia tightens up, we can experience problems like reduced mobility, tension, pain, disturbances in digestion and sleep.
How do treatments work?
Through a soft, slow, and at times very deep touch, fascia bodywork aims to bring movement and elasticity where fascia is contracted. Bringing our fascia in motion usually has a deeply relaxing effect.
This approach can be helpful to regulate stress-related problems, release tensions and aches, re-coordinate movement, develop one’s sensorial self-perception, and more.​
