EP. 189 Does MFR Work?
Are you an MFR therapist who is struggling with doubts that myofascial release therapy works in the way that you've been trained that it works? You're not alone. This is totally normal, nothing has gone wrong —it's simply a part of the journey.
Join Heather as she explores this common hurdle that MFR therapists face and how to overcome it. Discover how additional training, immersive therapy experiences, and personal MFR treatments can transform your perspective and solidify your faith in this powerful modality. Heather also discusses the importance of embracing your unique background, whether it's in massage therapy, physical therapy, or any other medical field, and how it enriches your MFR practice rather than detracts from it.
If you're an MFR therapist looking to strengthen your belief in the modality, understand how to integrate your past training, or simply take your business to the next level, this episode is a must-listen.

EP. 188 Making Fascia Art with Tonya Allen
Discover how myofascial therapy meets art on this episode of The MFR Coach Podcast with MFR Therapist, Tonya Allen.
Tonya's background in commercial art and body therapy has given her a unique perspective on the human body. She has been practicing as a licensed massage therapist since 2003 but found her calling in Myofascial Release after attending a local mobilization class. Her passion for analysis and evaluation led her to become the only Myofascial Therapist in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, with a waitlist stretching months in advance.
Tonya has found a creative outlet in producing stunning, abstract art that captures the essence of fascial patterns without the squeamishness of actual tissue photos. She began experimenting with Geode resin and epoxy resin artwork, creating pieces that resonated with the MFR community.
Tune in as Heather and Tonya discuss the therapeutic nature of the art-making process, and how it sparks innovative ideas for Tonya’s MFR sessions, enhancing her practice and the experiences of her clients.

EP. 187 Being Yourself with Unu Tran
Listen in as Heather sits down with Unu Tran, a fellow myofascial release therapist and the voice behind the Myofascial Health podcast.
The son of strict well-meaning parents, Unu grew up thinking that he had only one choice in life. Go to school, get a good job, and build a stable life for himself. While this laser focus led him to a respectable career in his 20s, it didn't leave him with any sense of who he was and what brought him joy. After realizing he was too young to feel stuck, he embarked on the ultimate journey of self-discovery and learned that once you step into who you really are, there's no going back.
He intentionally embodies MFR principles as much as he can in his everyday life. He believes that lessons can be learned everywhere and uses rock climbing, pickleball, and developing his relationship with God to draw from sources to lead him with a channel 3 lens.
Join in as Heather and Unu discuss the common pitfalls in website messaging, emphasizing the importance of speaking to potential clients, not colleagues. They also explore the idea of making MFR mainstream, the balance of helping others while ensuring personal well-being, and the importance of therapists being financially stable.
Press play to learn more on creating a strong online presence for your MFR practice.

Customer Reviews
MFR business coaching
If you have begun your MFR journey taking John F Barnes seminars, you NEED Heather’s podcast in your life! The episodes touch on SO MANY aspects of running a MFR only business… but they are just the top of the iceberg! It only took a few episodes to know how helpful her group coaching program would be! I have been an OT for almost 30 years and now pivoting to MFR and learning how to build a successful business model from the ground up! Looking forward to working less hours, on MY schedule, and make (at least) 100k. Thanks, Heather!!
PS … This was one of my favorite episodes!
Binge the podcast and then join coaching!
Heather’s podcast and coaching program have changed my life. Highly recommend. I binged her podcast while I was in massage therapy school to get licensed to provide MFR, and now I make over $100,000 a year in my MFR-only business with a schedule I love. She helps you decide exactly what kind of business YOU want to run and how YOU want to do it, she doesn’t tell you what to do. She also cultivates a wonderful community of MFR-only therapists who are so supportive!
Must listen to have clarity in your practice!
I binged her shows before I signed on to her 12-month program and before I quit my job to open my own practice. It had always been a dream, but now I had a vision of how I wanted to be practicing in the world instead of how I saw some others seemingly struggle. Her background as a life coach AND an MFR therapist combine for pure gold. Her program will change your life (much like MFR did!)
