About

Paula is an effective, innovative clinician of the fasciae (connective tissue/interstitium) system - a global, relationship-oriented, nurturing, and boundary-defining organ-like system that helps determine and reflect the health of all other organs and tissues. This is the only body system that is completely integrated with all others, including and especially our neural, lymphatic, and endocrine systems. Bones are fascia, too, and Paula is learning more every day about their influence on our health. Whatever the unresolved issues in your tissues, Paula is on a mission to helping you find and fix them at the root, as quickly as possible, for the longest relief possible.

Awareness vs Dependence

When we understand the vital role of fasciae on our pain, movement, and health, we are given the keys to optimal health and self sufficiency. Paula is devoted to helping people better understand, in a simplified and lighthearted way, their own bodies to both reduce dependence on medical care and to improve healing through joyful exploration. Joyful exploration is a wonderful way we can all reduce pain - and the fear that increases pain - while improving health and wellness.

Vision

Paula has confirmed through clinical research and the multitudes of fascia research professionals from around the world that the fasciae are about health, integrity, dignity, sensitivity, and relationships - both within and without. Therefore, when we respect our fasciae, we elevate health and wellbeing for ourselves - and each other. Let us treat each person as the unique universe they are, by becoming fasciae (relationship) brilliant, beginning with this pleasant and educational video on the latest news (pre-2018) in fasciae research.​ 

Setting The Record Straight

Muscles took the stage, credit, and blame for too long. It is time to set the record straight: Connective Tissue focused bodywork is the best method for facilitating a healthier you. This is what Paula's Body Shop focuses on, and this is why her clients get the fastest, longest-lasting results.​

Self Therapy

Between Body Shop checkups, Paula highly recommends the MELT Method by Sue Hitzmann and/or Dr. Paul Lam's Tai Chi for Health programs. MELT helps keep the fascia clean and hydrated, reducing daily pain, while Tai Chi builds internal joint, mind, organ, and stability-muscle strength and resilience. 

Hi Paula,
Just wanted to say Thanks!  You fixed my leg and I am almost back to 100%.  I also have started using the (MELT) method which has helped me keep my leg from spasm again.
THANKS!
