Myofascial Release
and it's benefits for physical + emotional trauma
The fascia is a thin but strong layer of connective tissue that surrounds our organs, muscles, joints, nerves and blood vessels. This web of connective tissue is where emotions and energy gets trapped/stored when they aren’t able to be metabolized and processed in the body. This happens when we to go through a traumatic experience and the body isn’t able to processed those emotions due to lack of internal resources. These unprocessed emotions and energy gets tangled in the facia and causes restriction in our blood flow, nerve conductivity, lymph and our body chi (energy). This can lead to exhaustion, inflammation, chronic pain and improper functioning of the immune system.Â
Myofascial release is a noninvasive manipulation technique that helps release the fascia. This helps release stress and tension in the body, as well as pain, inflammation, and release stagnant energy and emotions. The techniques brings together bodywork, energy medicine, intuition and spiritual healing to support the restoration of the body and being it to a state of wholeness. By effectively alleviating tissue congestion and organ constriction, myofascial release improves the vital flows of energy, blood, lymph and nerves system. Myofascial release can also release emotional and energetic tension which could be causing unnecessary stress on your body. As a result, myofascial release assists in preventing the progression of chronic diseases whilst improving the body’s ability to self-repair and re-balance. My approach is a unique one as I combine my unique skills as a medical intuitive and emotional empath and communicate with the body and those stored energy to get to the root cause of a physical, emotional, spiritual and energetic imbalance.
During a session you might or might not experience an emotional release and after a session you can experience an energetic detox. It is important to give yourself time to process these emotions and energy that are being release and be gentle with yourself. I provide a safe, gentle, and compassionate environment in which I hold space and facilitate the release of these suppressed emotions and energy to be expressed and release with love and ease. Give yourself permission to break free from all the emotional baggage and behavior patterns that are longer serving you.
I have seen Dr. Karina Monegro a number of times over the last few months. She is an absolute gem in my healing process. Her holistic approach links the emotional to the physical to the spiritual. If you know your exact pain, she will cater her technique to ease it. If you don't know exactly where your pain originates, she will help figure it out. Her approach is gentle and caring. She applies a breadth of knowledge that cannot be overvalued. I access a greater range of (e)emotions and often feel immediate relief from my visits. Finding her has been a gift and game changer.

What To Expect From Our Session
I create a safe and caring space where you can release any stuck or stored emotions and energy that are ready to be release. Leaving you feeling lighter, calmer and with a sense or clarity. People respond differently to a myofascial release session. You may feel different emotions during and after a session as well as a release through crying, burping, yawning and laughing. Soreness, muscle twitching and spasm are also a common response during a myofascial release session. Processing time after a session is important to help us integrate the release and healing. Aside from myofascial release, I might use other non invasise gentle manual manipulations, energy medicine and crystal healing. I might also advise homeopathy, herbs, and other nutritional recommendations as needed.
