Welcome to Fern Cottage Wellness!
We want to attract clients who:
Expect a therapist who will listen to them and work with them as a team to discover what is needed.
Want to take an active role in their healing process.
Want to look within themselves for their inner wisdom and come to a new place of understanding of their physical body and themselves as a whole.
Are willing to engage in their treatment program by being present in their bodies in session.
Show diligence in their home exercise program and, when needed, are willing to address thought and behavioral patterns that contribute to a successful outcome.
It is our daily mission and honor to help improve the lives of others through exploration, self awareness and empowerment.
We follow a few simple maxims in our work:
Find the symptom and look elsewhere for the cause.
Due to the nature of the fascial system as a continuous web the symptom may be quite distant from the actual cause. By looking at the body as a whole instead of separated parts, we can identify patterns and connections that can lead us to the cause in order to find a therapeutic outcome to the problem.
We will never force therefore we will never injure.
How we communicate with the body determines whether it truly can release that which is causing pain. It is important to communicate with the body with a touch and energy that feels safe to the body verses forcing and adding to a pattern of resistance.
As therapists, we can only take clients as far as we are willing to go ourselves.
As therapists, it is so important that we are also showing up to our own healing and exploring this therapy personally. Our own bodies teach us and remind us of all that is held from our lifetime and the kind of space needed for healing so that we can be better therapists as well.
