As an occupational therapist, I started working with people who experienced chronic pain very early in my career.  A visionary physician at our hospital asked us to learn myofascial release because he wanted non-medication options for dealing with pain.  I was amazed at how well this technique worked to break the pain cycle. Combining my myofascial release skills with my occupational therapy training helped me work with my patients to identify how to eliminate poor postural habits and create positive habits to lessen the likelihood of the pain returning.

Throughout my career, I have continued to scour the fascia research to learn more about this amazing system and continue to expand my client care skills. I have attended over 200 hours of John F. Barnes myofascial release training and am considered an advanced-level therapist based on their ranking system. I have also studied many other fascia-focused treatment strategies blending all with the latest research on the fascia system that is beginning to inform and shape many approaches to healing.

I am certified in yoga, holistic stress management, and natural movement. My expertise is posture, body alignment, ergonomics, and how we move in daily life.  I earned my doctorate in occupational therapy and continue to explore both conventional and alternative interventions for improved health and wellness with a focus on the fascia.

In addition to my practice, Mayer Fascia Wellness, I taught occupational therapy students at Creighton University for 19 years. My teaching responsibilities included Occupational Therapy Management, Physical Rehabilitation I: Evaluation, Health Systems Management, and Integrating Complementary and Alternative Medicines in Occupational Therapy Practice. During my time at CU, I received numerous teaching and wellness awards, which I believe reflect my love of teaching adult learners in fun and creative ways.

I have been very fortunate to have had many opportunities throughout my career that led me to where I am today. One of my passions is helping people find greater peace and life satisfaction through reducing, managing, and often eliminating their pain through practices that best suit their lifestyle. The second is sharing knowledge with my fellow practitioners and encouraging their creativity in how they can use fascia-informed science and strategies to improve their own outcomes.

I love to teach other practitioners what I have learned so they can experience the joy and satisfaction of assisting their patients in achieving their goals. I love to speak at conferences and workshops to help other practitioners become fascia-informed!

I practice all the techniques I teach my clients. As a woman in her 50s, my goal is to have an active, pain-free life that allows me to keep up with my grandkids and do all the amazing things this life has to offer!

Thank you for your interest in our offerings!
