“Shannon’s Mover Stabilizer Myofascial class …helps me examine the fascial issues and how the nervous system drives trigger points, perceived muscle weakness, and then how to immediately make changes in the fascia and give immediate relief to the client! It will catapult your clients’ progress more than ever!” Mike Anders, OTR/L
"Shannon, I really can't express how grateful & lucky I feel to have taken your Active Myofascial class. I loved the class and learned SO much! Your class is really the only one I've ever taken in 25 years as a massage therapist that was so scientific, so heartfelt, very intuitive, and so skillfully taught. The class flew by. I am so looking forward to an advanced class! You really are amazing. Thank you for all of your heartfelt ❤️compassion as a healer & teacher. So grateful!" Pamela Bouvier, LMT
"Last week I was privileged to be able to attend the Active Myofascial Treatment Techniques: A Functional Approach class in Colorado Springs. What an amazing weekend of learning and connecting. I am of the age where many of my contemporaries reference if they made it to Woodstock in 1969 because it was a world changing event. I wasn't there in 1969, but I was in Colorado Springs last weekend. Even though there weren't 400,000 people in attendance, I view this class as a part of another world changing event. Thank you Shannon and Bonnie and everyone else who was there to share the experience." Thomas A. Patterson, D.C., P.C.

This class is not recommended for students unfamiliar with myofascial pain, trigger points, or postural evaluation. Additionally, if you have hyper-mobility in the joints of the hands or wrists you may not be able to apply some of the techniques taught.
