Continuing Education and Certification Courses
Fascia Release Training
If you’re here, something in your current work likely feels limited. You’re skilled, experienced, and committed—but clients keep cycling through the same pain patterns. You’re modifying constantly, managing symptoms, or watching people plateau despite doing everything “right.” You know pain, mobility, and recovery aren’t just about muscles and joints, and you’re looking for a framework that explains why bodies get stuck—and how to create change that actually lasts.
These trainings are for wellness professionals, coaches, and bodyworkers craving a more precise, effective way to work with the body as a whole. Fascia provides that lens! Understanding how fascia links movement, pain, stress, emotion, and the nervous system is often the missing piece in most standard trainings. These courses will teach you how to assess patterns, apply intentional and targeted fascia release, and work with depth and specificity where it matters—so your sessions stop feeling like short-term management and start creating real, repeatable results for the people you serve.

Fascia First is about uncovering the body’s most overlooked system—the fascial system. This hidden web of connective tissue is stronger than steel, more sensitive than muscle, and smarter than we ever imagined! It's time to retire old models of understanding the body and tap into the system that truly holds our potential to move freely. Once you understand its impact on movement, global health, and even our emotional state, you’ll see healing in a completely new light.
In this course, you’ll learn:
Fascia's biological building blocks and its fascinating, little know functions in the body
How healthy vs. unhealthy fascia impacts pain, posture, hormones, mobility, injury, disease and performance
Why fascia is key to both physical and emotional resilience
Practical methods to restore fascial health for lasting results
Why it’s impactful: Fascia bridges the gap between body and mind, symptoms and root causes, temporary relief and lasting healing.
Approved NASM and AFAA provider.

If you're a health, fitness, or wellness professional, you know that tightness, pain, and movement restrictions can hold your clients back—no matter how much they stretch, strengthen, or “stay off it.” The Fascia Release Specialist certification will give you the tools to work with the body’s most overlooked system and create the kind of deep, lasting results that set you apart as a leader in your field. There’s a simple way to...
✔️Alleviate pain
✔️Increase mobility
✔️Recover quickly
✔️Improve the health of the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, lymphatic system, and nervous systems

They vary to state to state. In Colorado, you may practice under the "alternative methods that employ contact" law (Section 4: 12-35.5-110).
Please check regulations for your state! In most US states, as long as you avoid using the term “therapy” to label this work (unless you are already licensed with another modality), you are allowed to practice.

Yes. If you are already a personal trainer, physical therapist, massage therapist, yoga instructor, or Crossfit coach, you likely already have insurance that The Fascia Remedy work will fall under.
If not, I recommend insurance called Hands on Trade (it's currently only $180 per year).

Inessa R.
“The Fascia Remedy is a brilliant system and Julia is an excellent teacher! I was intrigued by how unique both the technical and conceptual aspects of this method of bodywork were. After consulting with numerous physical therapists and doctors for my own complex injury, I had always been curious why the current accepted methods of treating injuries were lacking in so many ways. The Practitioner Program is where things finally started coming together for me! After completing this program,
I feel confident in my skills as a practitioner as well as feel a deeper understanding of how to heal myself."

"I have been blessed in so many ways by Julia and the Fascia Remedy method. Not only was Julia able to significantly reduce my chronic sciatic nerve pain I’d experienced regularly for 12 years in just a few sessions, but I was so grateful for the opportunity to learn the method myself!
The Practitioner Program is brilliantly detailed and easily outlined so I was able to thoroughly understand the concepts behind the techniques.
Julia's method has been the greatest tool for continuing to eliminate my chronic pain PERMANENTLY and for cultivating longevity and health in life!
So grateful for Julia sharing her knowledge and experience! "

"For years I’ve followed people who knew how to help people balance their bodies, but I didn’t think the methods were accessible unless I devoted years to it.
With The Practitioner Program, I was able to go from wishing I could help people to knowing exactly what to do to provide some relief and help them get into better balance.
This training was so accessible and user friendly to learn. Julia created a great environment to learn the techniques.
After getting back from the training, all of the material in the Bodywork Mastery Program was so well organized for me to go back and review. For me, learning the techniques and then being able to review as much as I need to has been a big help for mastery.”

"A MAGICAL MISSING PIECE TO THE PUZZLE!
After 7 years of chronic pain throughout my body, limited range of motion, and loss of strength & flexibility from an injury, I was beginning to wonder if the constant pain that I felt was just my new normal and that I would never find relief again. By the time I had met Julia, I tried so many modalities and visited multiple practitioners of all types; physical therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, energy healers, and so many others.
Despite everything I had tried, I felt like I was missing something! After my very first session with Julia, my hope was immediately restored and I began to feel relief and the MAGICAL effects of The Fascia Remedy. Now I'm learning to understand and practice the techniques that Julia has perfected in The Practitioner Program so that I can help others who are suffering find relief and hope through fascia work like I did. I am beyond grateful! Thank you, Julia!!!"

"After one session with Julia, I realized how valuable fascia release is. So much so that I went from being a reoccurring client to becoming a student! I used to think pain was never ending and impossible to alleviate but I’ve come to realize none of that is true. Using the knowledge I’ve gained from Julia,
I’ve been amazed by the positive results I’ve achieved with both myself and clients!
While the human body is complicated, Julia simplifies the material in course in a way that makes sense. She is a wealth of knowledge and provides you with everything you need to know to begin your journey. I feel incredibly lucky that mine and Julia’s paths crossed when they did!"

"I have a genetic, connective tissue issue that causes me pain on a regular basis. Thankfully, my husband and I both attended The Practitioner Program and this therapy has been huge for me.
I don’t feel as stuck with pain as I used to. My body is moving back into better alignment and I know I can get relief when I need it."
