Paula is an eternally curious and innovative clinician focused on healing through understanding the fascia - from skin through bones. Experience has taught her, and science is catching on, that the fascia is where the answers to health and longevity can be found. Enjoy this short, fun summary of fascia from Sci Show:

Fall In Love with Fascia!

As outlandish as it sounds, when we feel hurt, frustrated, or traumatized - or even fall in love - the fasciae are affected!
​The nerves that come from the stress part of the nervous system in our brain end in the fascia.
When emotional stress or trauma is chronic, it directly impacts the nerve endings in the fascia.
When other factors exist, like muscle tension, dehydration, and inflammation,
those same fascial nerves report back to the brain causing chronic pain syndromes. 

This is why mindfulness techniques combined with bodywork therapies work so well: They calm our stressed out nervous system from both ends - while improving the health of the fasciae. This is also why we feel so physically wonderful when we fall in love! Good, old-fashioned love changes biochemistry to promote relaxation and self-healing.
​As fascia clinicians know, and neuroscience, fascia research, and other medical and science disciplines are learning, when we love and respect our fasciae and each other, we reduce stress and pain, and improve health for ourselves and others.

Setting The Record Straight

Muscles took the stage, credit, and blame for too long. It is time to set the record straight: Connective Tissue (fasciae) focused bodywork combined with nerve-soothing vibrational therapy 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, and often permanent results.​
