I’m really proud of this…
I wanted to share a little behind the scenes from my recent virtual series, the NeuroFascia Integration Series: Face, Jaw & Neck…
Dr. Monica Lesslie (master of Cortical Field Re-education, or CFR) and I genuinely feel like we’re onto something special. After going through each other’s lessons and hosting our live Q&A calls with those who joined this round, we kept finding ourselves staying on Zoom or the phone far longer than planned—comparing notes, talking through what we were noticing in our own bodies, and sharing what participants were experiencing.
And it’s because we kept getting more and more excited.
Individually, we both know our work is effective. But seeing what happens when you combine CFR with fascia release was something different. It’s more than just complementary—it’s accelerating change in the body with far less input.
One of the biggest things we kept coming back to was this:
Most people think their issue is happening because their muscles are too tight, their joints are too restricted, and they “just need to stretch more.”
But this is where we have to shift the way we think.
Bones and muscles are responding to signals from the body’s communication systems—your fascial system and your nervous system. When something feels tight, restricted, or stuck, it’s often because these systems are driving that pattern… not because of your lack of stretching.
When you work with those systems directly, you can create change much more efficiently—with less force and in less time than typical recovery work. With the CFR work in particular, due to novelty of the specific movements, old patterns can change immediately… and actually hold. Sometimes you only need to do the movement once and that old pattern never returns! That’s a very different experience than trying to stretch or force your way into change.
We saw things like:
• Posture improving without cueing “stand up straight”
• Jaw tension releasing in places that had felt stuck for years
• Breathing becoming fuller and more natural
• The face, eyes, and neck visibly softening
And beyond that—people feeling more grounded, more aware, and more connected to their body.
Here are a few things people shared after just 3 weeks:
“My posture has improved and I have greater awareness of where my head, neck, spine and pelvis are in space… breathing feels more expansive… I feel more grounded, literally and emotionally.”
“My shoulders are sitting lower… my breathing feels deeper… I feel like a new person when I get up from my mat.”
“After a session, I felt an immediate and full release of tension in my face.”
“My eyebrows are sitting higher and my eyes look less droopy… I had no idea how much tension I was holding there until I didn’t have it anymore.”
The live round of this series has wrapped up, but the full course is still available.
You can move through it at your own pace, revisit it as often as you want, and continue building on what you learn.
This is a very different way of working with your body!
If you’ve been dealing with things like:
• Headaches
• Eye strain
• TMJ or jaw tension
• Neck tightness
• Forward head posture
• General posture issues
This approach can make a meaningful difference and often faster than you might expect.
