Fascia-Informed Occupational Therapist
My journey to occupational therapy has been a series of very human moments that brought me closer to the core of how I wanted to contribute to the world. After serving in the US Army (OEF 12-13), I began deeply examining how I could combine purpose and passion outside of military service. I loved elements of direct care, but it was an incomplete experience when I would pass along my patients. I wanted to see the process of recovery and the steps of progress made day-in and day-out. When we see those we care about hurting, being there with them through their journey back to independence soothes us as well.
There was only one profession that I felt really reflected that mindset and led with compassion, and so I scrambled onto the occupational therapy track. 7 years later, I am so proud to say that I have the privilege to start a career in a field I deeply believe in. While I hold a very soft part of my heart for acute care for combat injuries, polytrauma, burns and brain injury, my interests grew in one area in particular, pain: how we experience it, how it affects our lives, our relationships, our participation and our mental health.
After completing clinical rotations in acute care trauma ICU and skilled neurorehabilitation, I continued my path down the continuum of care to Mayer Fascia Wellness’s practice where I got to learn from the best how current science could be integrated into ethical practice. I was able to draw from past continuing education and combine it with a new perspective on the human body. Addressing pain in a holistic and dynamic way from an occupational therapist perspective has brought together elements of the many things I have done in my life prior, from working as a combat medic, to teaching in adult basic education, and working with children with neurodivergences such as ADHD and autism.
OT is the glue that seals it all together, wrapping up the aspects in one complete client-centered package that is gifted to those who put their trust in us for their care. I love hearing stories of how our fascia-informed approach helps those we serve live a greater quality of life. Giving someone the tools to make small changes with big outcomes reminds me that even 1000 small steps will make a mile.
Looking forward, it’s exciting to see how my unique background and passions can add to the client treatment experiences at Mayer Fascia Wellness!

Fascia-Informed Occupational Therapist
I discovered the impact of occupational therapy at age 15, when I first witnessed how OTs help people of all ages reclaim their lives in meaningful and diverse ways. That set the course for a decade-long journey of education, clinical experience, and mentorship—and today, I’m proud to serve as an occupational therapist helping others move, heal, and live better.
I was born and raised in a small farm community in eastern Washington, where I learned early on the value of self-reliance, and strong community ties. Growing up in a rural area also helped me see firsthand the gaps in access to healthcare and education—especially when it comes to preventative wellness and pain management. That’s a major reason why I’m passionate about what we do here at Mayer Fascia Wellness!
Before moving to Omaha in 2020 and attending Creighton Universities Doctorate of Occupational Therapy program, I worked at an inpatient rehabilitation hospital, supporting therapists across units focused on stroke, spinal cord injury, and traumatic brain injury recovery. It was there that I was introduced to the potential of myofascial release treatments. Since then, I sought out advanced mentorship in fascia science and was fortunate to complete my doctoral capstone under Dr. Amy Mayer here at Mayer Fascia Wellness. Over multiple continuing education courses, workshops, and 14 weeks of immersive learning, I gained hands-on experience in fascia-informed care, working with clients of all ages and diagnoses. That experience shaped the clinician I am today and laid the foundation for my current practice.
In addition to my work here at Mayer Fascia Wellness, I also serve as an occupational therapist at a hospital in Council Bluffs, where I treat patients in the acute care and ICU units. I also provide care at a facility in Omaha with skilled nursing, memory care, and long-term care units, supporting individuals with complex medical needs and helping them maintain functional independence.
My diverse clinical experience continues to strengthen my understanding of how fascia-informed therapy can make a difference across the continuum of care and in both traditional and non-traditional practice settings.
I was honored to join Dr. Mayer’s team to expand access to fascia-informed occupational therapy and help lead the clinic’s growing offerings. I hold additional certifications in Physical Agent Modalities (PAMS) and LSVT-BIG and have a special interest in anatomy, posture, alignment, ergonomics, and holistic movement strategies.
Whether you’re navigating chronic pain, recovering from surgery, or simply looking to move better in your daily life, I bring a whole-body, evidence-informed approach to help you feel more connected, capable, and supported in your health journey!
Amy Mayer OTD, OTR/L, RYT, MCT
Founder and Owner of Mayer Wellness and The Fascia-Informed Therapist™
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 expand my client care skills. I’m an advanced level therapist and have attended over 200 hours of myofascial release training (certificates below). I have also studied many other forms of myofascial release and fascia-focused treatment strategies.
I am certified in yoga, holistic stress management and natural movement. My expertise is in 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 addressing the health of the fascial system.
In addition to Mayer Fascia Wellness, I taught occupational therapy 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. I continue to serve as a Contributed Service Faculty member providing specialty lectures and specialized student experiences.
I have been very fortunate to have had many opportunities throughout my career, leading me to where I am today. My two primary passions are 1.) helping people find greater peace and life satisfaction through reducing, managing and often eliminating their pain through practices that best suit their lifestyle and 2.) teaching health and wellness professionals about fascia-science and how we can improve our patient outcomes in many areas by learning about this previously misunderstood body system. As a result, The Fascia-Informed™ Therapist website, podcast and educational resources were born.
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!
