Fascia CE for Health and Wellness Professionals - Mayer Wellness & Myofascial Release

This section is dedicated to resources for occupational therapy practitioners and other health and wellness professionals. If you want to be on the cutting edge, you must learn about fascia.

Teaching The Myofascial Self-Treatment Workshop in Parker, CO at the Fall 2022 Colorado Occupational Therapy Conference.

My Passion is Teaching About Fascia

As an administrator and faculty member in higher education for twenty years, I love teaching and consider it the most important part of my practice whether I’m teaching the basics about posture to a client or complex research on fascia to health professionals. My approach to teaching is very practical. As a result, my students often connect to my teaching style. I value simplicity and action.

My focus is not just on teaching myofascial release techniques. I teach about the current research related to fascia. It is now considered to be another body system. Understanding this system and its intricate relationship with all our other body systems is a critical layer to understanding health. If your fascia is healthy, your other body systems have the environment to function well.

I am also a learner, an input and strategic (Clifton Strengths Finder). I love to learn about topics that interest me, such as fascia, gather as much as I can on that topic and integrate it into my practice to continually offer the best possible service to my clients. Therefore, my practice and the courses I offer all have a central thread of integrating fascia research and fascia wellness concepts into how we think about our own health and the health and function of our clients. Now that I’m in my 30th year of practice I want to turn around and support all the amazing health and wellness professionals out there trying to be the best possible practitioner they can be.

My Immutable Laws of Business

I strive to create learning opportunities of the highest quality.

Excellence in Teaching: I create courses that are easy to digest and full of information that can be applied to your practice immediately.
Knowledge: I seek out and share the most recent and relevant fascia related information important to health and wellness professionals.
Growth and Success: I want to see all health and wellness professionals find success with their clients and their careers.
Health: Understanding fascia and what keeps it well is an important layer to understanding health.

Resources to Support Integrating Fascia into Your Practice

I have three methods where you can learn from me and with me.

Live Courses

I offer several courses for the public. Any course I offer to the public is also open to health and wellness professionals. If you let me know you need a certificate for the course, I will provide that for you.

I offer continuing education courses for all types of health and wellness professionals.

Myofascial Release Basics Workshop for Health and Wellness Pros is my highly regarded CE course. 100% hands-on with the classes kept small so you get lots of direct feedback to sharpen your myofascial skills that can be used in any setting.

One to One Learning Sessions

I love one-on-one teaching and learning. Health and wellness professionals can sign up for one-on-one sessions with me. During these sessions we can focus on practicing your skills by working on each other or do problem solving related to your clients. I’ve also had therapists use this time to discuss creating their own myofascial focused practice. I will create a certificate with your specific learning objectives so you can use this time as continuing education.

Therapists also have the option to treat clients with me. I have amazing clients who love to help me teach you. Plus, they get the experience of being treated by two therapists at the same time which is also a wonderful experience. To schedule this option, you must have taken my in-person workshop, been treated as a client by myself or a therapist I have trained, and completed at least one, one on one session with me. These must be scheduled directly with me at least one week in advance so that I can gain permission from my clients. You can stay for one session or stay the day. $50 per session. Email mayerwellnes@gmail.com to set up this option. I can issue a certificate for these sessions as well.

Learn more about one-to-one session here.

On-Demand Learning

While teaching doctorate level therapists, my university also offered distance learning. Over time, this made me quite comfortable and skilled at creating content and teaching online. I also completed a two-year e-learning fellowship which taught me so much about using technology to create high quality content which can be very challenging when teaching what we typically think of as “hands-on” skills.

My larger more robust courses are located on Teachavle.com. This site supports longer, more in-depth courses with greater variety in teaching and learning options. I have some designed for the public, but this site is mostly for you.

I see Amy as a client for MFR, I’ve been to her workshops and I’m taking her yoga classes on Zoom. Amy is excellent in all of these areas. She is a natural-born teacher and it shows as she is constantly relaying vital information and instruction while working with her clients and during classes. Amy is skillful, patient, teaches at your level and is passionate and enthusiastic about everything she does. I had a couple of Amy’s interns, who were her former students, work on me. I could see the respect they had for Amy which just showed they wanted to work with and continue learning from her.Amy’s website, newsletters and blogs are a fantastic way to get valuable information. I haven’t had the chance to read her book yet, but I know it will be packed full of vital and useful information for everyone who reads it.I highly recommend Amy and hope you’ll do yourself a favor by checking out her website, reading her book and taking a workshop and on-demand class. You won’t be sorry.

As a myofascial release therapist, Amy Mayer has been a true health care partner on my journey to wellness and fitness. I have referred several friends and relatives to her. She will take an extensive history, listen to your concerns, address them at your visit (note that long-standing issues generally require multiple visits), and always provides specific self-care strategies so that you can continue to improve! Great yoga classes, too, which focus on yoga + myofascial release + functional fitness for everyday life.

In 2019 I had the opportunity for personal evaluation by Amy with regards to my balance and alignment. Her insights about how to work with my fascia have been extremely helpful. Then I started taking her online Yoga and Natural Movement classes which enabled me to keep moving and learning despite the pandemic.

Amy is an amazing Myofascial Release therapist. She is great at finding the tight spots and relieving pain. Amy is also very skilled in postural training and education so not only does she help relieve your pain but teaches you how to keep it away with stretches and exercises. She also provides a variety of classes to help you on your healing journey. I plan to continue regular treatments with her to keep me in alignment!I have also had the opportunity to attend her classes as an OT and highly recommend them as well. Amy is very passionate about her work and is constantly researching the latest and greatest both for her clients and students.
