Cannot Be Explained - Only Experienced

While there are no words to describe the Paula's Body Shop experience, please know that it isn't about fixing what's wrong with you but about clearing the path for your own body to blossom into better health and wellness. When we understand the vital role of the fasciae on our body's ability to move, function, and feel well, we are given the keys to optimal health and self sufficiency. 

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! As neuroscience, fascia research, and others are showing us, when we 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-chilling 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.​

About Paula - Summary

Paula is an eternally curious and innovative clinician focused on fascia and healing. Experience has taught her that the fascia is where the answers to health and longevity can be found. Did you know that there is no real disconnect between the connective tissue, lymph, nervous, and endocrine systems? Did you know that bones are fascia, too? Paula is discovering more every day about how our bones influence our health and feelings of wellness. Bone affect is so incredibly predominant that most therapy at Paula's Body Shop is now bone-health-focused for the best results for you. 
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.

Self Therapy

Between Body Shop checkups, in addition to BioSyntonie, Paula highly recommends the following bone-deep self-care systems: Dr. Paul Lam's Tai Chi for Health programs and the MELT Method. MELT helps keep the superficial and deep fascia clean and hydrated, reducing daily pain and improving quality of longevity, while Tai Chi (and Tai Chi-like moving about) quietly and easily builds a calming, internal strength and stability from the inside out that especially benefits joint and spine flexibility. All of the above may even reduce or eliminate symptoms of arthritis! Employ them all to make your golden years truly golden!
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!
