I am a province of Manitoba Registered Massage Therapist. I practice from my home office located in Winnipeg, using the John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach.
I was born in Winnipeg, Canada and raised in a small rural community a short distance from where I live now. The youngest of four sons, I was raised in a loving family, which I feel nurtured my interest in the healing arts.
I graduated from the Massage Therapy College of Manitoba in 1998 and was nominated class valedictorian. Through the following years treating patients there was always something that I felt beneath my hands that I did not understand. It wasn’t until 2006 that I finally found the answer to this question while attending my first JFB Myofascial Release seminar. I was practicing a very gentle cross hand release technique when it dawned on me that this was what I had been feeling all this time. It was the fascial system.
Since this experience I have attended nine JFB Myofascial Release seminars including a skill enhancement seminar where I worked along side John and his staff at his Malvern Pennsylvania Clinic. I use MFR as my main tool for treating patients with wonderful long-lasting results.
I am committed to The Accessibility for Manitobans Act and its accessibility standards.
Myofascial release (MFR) is a highly effective yet gentle manual technique that stretches restricted connective tissue, corrects movement dysfunction, and alleviates pain at its root source.
