Adding more sarcomeres side by side together in a sack is called “fiber”; interconnected to the blood, nerve, and lymph supply. Fibers held together by fascia form the muscles we can visualize (and generally refer to as “muscles”. Muscles do not exist in nature unless they are formed by fascia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e75ff64298c6f890f33f4/1653511617161-X8BNCU31CY3QWPRTQ6KP/Diagrammatic-representation-of-the-small-bowel-mesentery_Q320+fascia.jpg Blog - What is this fascia all about? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e75ff64298c6f890f33f4/1653511617554-FZKD4LUE7E1KEO1WV5TI/ovary+ligaments.jpg Blog - What is this fascia all about? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e75ff64298c6f890f33f4/1653511636218-FESSS3B6TGAUT3N14JRJ/cross+section+2.JPG Blog - What is this fascia all about? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e75ff64298c6f890f33f4/1653512022602-6RFR0KVOQ6EZR4E7F1KO/fascial+lines.jpg Blog - What is this fascia all about? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e75ff64298c6f890f33f4/1653512022665-0QCNRZEPC0K1QQYJT5K6/Lower+back+adult.JPG Blog - What is this fascia all about? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e75ff64298c6f890f33f4/1653512080293-W0E1921JLW139GBT9VBT/ITB+fascia.jpg Blog - What is this fascia all about? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e75ff64298c6f890f33f4/89ac8419-e157-4d04-bbbd-4e71eb3003bf/fascial+web+compression.jpg Blog - What is this fascia all about? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://greenelotusholistic.squarespace.com/blog/are-you-breathingcorretly-hxw8f monthly 0.5 2022-05-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e75ff64298c6f890f33f4/396e839d-5eb8-445a-b07c-e94ff6f960a5/Cross+Section+fascia.jpg Blog - Myofascial Release Therapy - Make it stand out The blue line is a boarder separating different pockets of fascia groups.

Meet the owner: Eliot Originally from Chicago, IL, I moved to Boston for university, and have become entranced with the mountains and ocean. I graduated from Simmons University in 2016, as a licensed physical therapist. I have outpatient clinic as well as home care experience. I have studied with School Yoga Institute as well as with John F. Barnes, PT Myofascial Release Therapy continuing education, Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing, and Usui Holy Fire Reiki. As a person who identity as “Queer”, I have experience and exposure to environments I have assumed was welcoming and was not, as well as have assumed was NOT safe and turned out to be rewarding! Unfortunately those including health care are still inconclusive on it’s stance for safe-space. I am passionate about creating this safe space for my clients, and helping every body feel at-home in their skin. Over the years, I became frustrated with insurance companies limiting people who were making positive gains, and cutting them off without explanation- including myself! Since then I have made it my passion to provide services to my clients without third-party-payer requirements or restrictions, and have instead turned toward the client and myself to establish goals and plan of care to excel. On their terms. With their consent. What you can expect from each session with me: Healing is not a one-size-fits-all process. During each session, I blend three complementary modalities - Myofascial Release, Somatic Experiencing, and Reiki - to meet your body where it is that day. Myofascial Release gently opens the body’s connective tissue to restore movement and flow. Somatic Experiencing guides awareness of inner sensations, helping the nervous system complete unfinished and interrupted self-protective response. Reiki balances energy and fosters deep relaxation, allowing the body and mind to integrate change. Whether you are recovering from chronic pain, burnout, or trauma - or simply seeking a more peaceful connection with your body - this work invites you back to yourself. My goal is not to “fix” you - but to help you feel safe, present, and empowered in your own body again. While not helping people feel more attuned to their body, you can find me cuddling with my fiancé and cat, reading a book, watching a thought-provoking movie, or walking about in nature, west coast swing dancing, or traveling the world learning more about culture and communities.

To understand Myofascial Release, you first need to understand fascia. Fascia is a tough connective tissue that spreads three-dimensionally throughout the body from head to foot, without interruption. It plays an important role in keeping us moving freely, without pain, and helps give structure and support to our soft tissue. It gives us our shape- of our organs, muscles, body structure, etc like spider-web matrix-like packaging. Most importantly it acts like a fiber optic network, capable of sending information throughout the entire body instantaneously. This information helps our body respond to its environment accordingly; It even lets us know when we have been injured and when our body needs to be repaired. There has been a large amount of recent scientific research that is now verifying what John F. Barnes has been teaching for 50 years! When we are injured, our fascia responds by binding down around the injured area, in order to protect it. After we heal, the fascia should return to its normal, healthy state: soft, flexible and capable of gliding along the surrounding soft tissue. Many times however, the fascia stays tight and dehydrated which in turn 'glues' itself to the surrounding muscle, bone, nerve or other soft tissue. This can create painful and restricted movement as well as seemingly unrelated symptoms like nerve pain and/or pain in other areas of the body. This is equivalent to 2000 pounds of pressure on sensitive tissues (think blood vessels, nerves, etc). Fascial restrictions do not show up on medical tests such as MRI's, X-ray’s, Ultrasounds, blood tests, etc and because of the confusing nature of the symptoms can be difficult to diagnose through traditional medical testing. On top of all the structural involvement, restrictions can also send the body into a flight or fight response, eliciting all the symptoms associated with it: anxiety, muscle tension, digestion issues and so on. Our pain frequently has an emotional component as well because fascia responds to emotional tension in the same way it does physical. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e75ff64298c6f890f33f4/b078ddd6-9f53-4fdc-a177-b4ce9656c881/MMG-Release-Fascia-to-Release-Tension-2.png John F Barnes MFR - What to expect with each session Myofascial Release is the technique used to help fascia return to its healthy state. Through a series of gentle, sustained holds upwards of 5 minutes in each spot, pressure is released from pain sensitives structures and flexibility is returned to the area. MFR is effective because of the pressure used and the length of the holds. If too much pressure is used too quickly, the fascia will simply bind down and not allow for any release- what it is made to do in order to protect the body! If the hold is not maintained for long enough, the fascia will not retain it's lengthened state- you may feel temporary relief but your pain will return fairly quickly. These gains are further maintained by a precise and targeted home exercise program. Our properly trained therapist Dr. Eliot will be able to maintain appropriate pressure and length of time for an effective release. He will also be able to assess your specific areas of restriction and how to treat them safely based on your health history and wellness goals. https://greenelotusholistic.squarespace.com/reiki daily 0.75 2025-10-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e75ff64298c6f890f33f4/b9505100-70d7-41ff-930c-3def2e1c54e6/IMG_5358.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e75ff64298c6f890f33f4/3f07fc59-3e1a-4e75-a2fe-d7e762f5a558/Energy.jpg Reiki - What is Reiki? Usui Reiki is a form of energy healing developed by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century in Japan. It involves the transfer of universal life energy through the practitioner's hands to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. Usui Reiki is based on the belief that this energy can help restore balance and harmony within the body. Practitioners often use specific hand positions and symbols during sessions, and it can be practiced both in person and at a distance. The approach emphasizes relaxation, stress reduction, and overall well-being. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e75ff64298c6f890f33f4/acc87975-6f40-49fa-b2b0-84cf8e3df66e/diana+piggy+back.jpg Reiki - What to expect with each session Usui holy fire Reiki is a gentle light touch or close-presence to help improve energy movement quality, intensity throughout our bodies. This energy field lives just off our physical dense body, and can extend as far at 10-20 feet away! When you are present during a session, you can expect to be greeted with warmth, a friendly smile, and soft soothing music. If you would like an additional blanket or pillow, that’s welcome too! We begin by laying down and assessing the energy-body, otherwise known as the aura or subtle body. Then when we have established where the energy is asking for support, we begin! The rest is up to you, and if you have more preferences. Afterwards, you will have quiet time to reflect and ask any questions that may have arisen during your session. If it feels in alignment, we can call in tarot and oracle cards to further assist in your energy healing session. https://greenelotusholistic.squarespace.com/seasonal-recipes daily 0.75 2021-09-13 https://greenelotusholistic.squarespace.com/seasonal-recipes/winter-ek3hk monthly 0.5 2020-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9e44e143969e061c2ed8fa/1588098122317-GHNA5X10ZKOOK1CW2ZGA/Stocksy_comp_2553271.jpg Seasonal recipes - Winter https://greenelotusholistic.squarespace.com/seasonal-recipes/summer-2d36h monthly 0.5 2020-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9e44e143969e061c2ed8fa/1598838475174-LG5R8ZQPXGOLHR8E7YTZ/image-asset.jpeg Seasonal recipes - Summer https://greenelotusholistic.squarespace.com/seasonal-recipes/autumn-85xef monthly 0.5 2020-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9e44e143969e061c2ed8fa/1598838301614-7QKB13DWDQD05G443JUU/image-asset.jpeg Seasonal recipes - Autumn https://greenelotusholistic.squarespace.com/seasonal-recipes/spring-2963k monthly 0.5 2020-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9e44e143969e061c2ed8fa/1598838273757-ZASUDS1KTP7LUDZIMSEV/image-asset.jpeg Seasonal recipes - Spring https://greenelotusholistic.squarespace.com/meal-plans daily 0.75 2025-04-23 https://greenelotusholistic.squarespace.com/meal-plans/immune-boosting-4xjks monthly 0.5 2020-10-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9e44e143969e061c2ed8fa/1588180124685-J2ICHFRXOKJ9F0GOYVO6/image-asset.jpeg Meal plans - Immune Boosting - Breakfast Fresh fruit and feta salad It all begins with an idea.
