For Ventura County Chamber of Commerce
Soothing Tensions & Relaxation
Executive-level nervous system recovery and fascia health — for entrepreneurs, executives, and Chamber leaders.
A Recovery Practice for the Business Community
The demands of professional life take a real, physical toll. Long hours at a desk, back-to-back client meetings, constant multitasking, travel, and high-stakes decision-making keep your nervous system locked in a state of low-grade activation — and that stress gets stored in your body's connective tissue, or fascia, long after the workday ends.
Soothing Tensions & Relaxation is a class designed specifically for Ventura County Chamber of Commerce members and the local business community. In this session, you will spend dedicated time down-regulating your nervous system and receive myofascial release from a myofascial specialist and Doctor of Physical Therapy.
The result is not just relaxation — it is measurable recovery. Better focus, less pain, improved mobility, and a calmer baseline you carry back into your work and your life.
Built for the realities of professional life
What You'll Experience
Down-Regulate Your Nervous System
Step out of fight-or-flight and into genuine recovery. Guided regulation techniques calm an overstimulated nervous system — the same system that has been running on cortisol through back-to-back meetings, travel, and high-stakes decisions.
Myofascial Release with a Specialist
Receive hands-on myofascial release from a Doctor of Physical Therapy and certified myofascial specialist. We target the deep connective tissue where stress, postural strain, and tension from hours at a desk actually live — long after the meeting ends.
Tools You Can Take Back to Work
Leave with practical self-release techniques you can use in five minutes between calls, on a flight, or at your desk. This is not just a class — it is a toolkit for sustainable performance.
How the Session Works
Arrive & Transition
Park the day at the door. A few minutes to settle in and shift gears from output mode to recovery mode — no laptop, no agenda.
Down-Regulate
Guided nervous system regulation brings your body out of stress response and into the state where real fascial release becomes possible.
Myofascial Release
Hands-on and guided self-release work with a physical therapist, targeting the fascia where the tension of your work life has been stored.
A Screen-Free Space to Disconnect
Finding time to recover is only half the battle — actually unplugging is the other half. Our studio is a quiet, dedicated space where phones stay on silent and deadlines stay at the door. For the duration of your session, your only task is to let your nervous system reset.

Her work addresses the physical toll that high-pressure professional life takes on the body — the held tension, the postural strain, the nervous system that never quite powers down. She empowers every client to build physical awareness, release deep-held stress, and perform at their best.
