What is Fascia?

Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds each muscle fiber, fiber groups, muscle, and each muscle group.

The fascia forms a net or network that enfolds capillaries and nerve cells that help neural communication, nutrient distribution, and cleansing of tissues.
When the fascia net is “stuck” it can cause aches and pains and immobility.

Various massage techniques can help you to “UN- stick” those tissues.

Here is a nice video that helps to show what fascia is.

Texas Approved CEU Provider

Taking a break from Teaching of the CARE program-

Teena is moving through the process established by the State of Texas to garner the registrations and approvals needed in order to provide the Raindrop Training that we love while at the same time meeting ALL the stipulations of the law.

At this point, she has approval to teach NON- technique classes and the Hands-on will be coming shortly.

Thanks for being patient.

  • Chemistry of Essential oils- a look at the molecules and the power of essential oils as well as learning about the workings of the elements shown on the Periodic Chart.  This class (or class series) will look at the concepts of toxicities, substitutions among elements, and understanding the cellular receptor sites to give the student a greater appreciation of the chemical reactions that provide our functioning bodies.
  • Historic Perspective of oils-  this will be a supercharged version of the Bible Oils with deeper historic content as well as a geographic and economic view of the oils and civilization.
  • I am in a collaborative effort with a friend whose background in neurology and passion for music will combine with my background and passion to yield a class on the neurological impact of music in massage.   The student will learn the aspects of music that actually aid relaxation and emotional balance and how such music can help you maximize the benefits of your massage leading to increased client satisfaction.

Great Resource for Bodyworkers


Anyone who is a body-worker and many who just want to understand the muscles and the pains in their bodies-  particularly if they have been recommended for a surgery due to motion restrictions…. needs to do some research first.  Sometimes doctors like to cut on carpal tunnel, elbow, finger, toes and knees when some muscle work is what is really in order.   

Drugs for headaches are another arena where a little research may just save your liver from the residual effects of pain relievers, anti anxiety meds etc.

TMJ disorder is another issue where everything from Botox injections to surgury are reccommended by some western medical practitioners and dentists.  There are actually many muscles that can lead to the TMJ disorder and massage and the essential oils can help with that! 

This book is a great resource for how the muscles are strung together to the bones, how to find them to locate each end and it gives the pain referral patters as well as recommended stretches.  For $60 it is well worth it to investigate a bit before subjecting self or loved ones to the knife or to many drug therapies.

Massage-  it is often the last thing we turn to but should be one of the first. 

There was once a great healer who healed many using his hands and annointing with essential oils!  He told us we can to!
