In 2005, she participated in her first Myofascial Release series of classes with John F. Barnes, and could not believe what she was feeling under her hands, then the difference in her patients by bringing
Myofascial Release into her sessions with children. She soon worked on and received her LMT license, to open her own practice, Atlanta Myofascial Release.

link, and has dramatically changed her life.
