Episode 174: Your Body AS Guide: How Fascia Stores Trauma, Emotion, and Memory with Heather Fraelick
What if your pain isn’t random… and your body isn’t failing you? What if it’s remembering? In this episode of Mystical Sisterhood®, Maureen Spielman sits down with somatic bodywork practitioner and founder of The Healing Eclectic, Heather Fraelick, to explore the hidden intelligence of the body and the powerful role fascia plays in storing emotion, memory, and lived experience.

More from Maureen about this episode…
I’m excited to introduce Heather Fraelick to you and the wonderful work of myofascial and somatic work. Heather’s background as a dancer for the first few decades of her life is a perfect set up to become a massage therapist, myofascial expert, and somatic practitioner. Listening to the whispers and screams of the body is not foreign to Heather and she brings her work so mindfully and with deep reverence and care - a beautiful way to approach the body in it’s wisdom and complexities! This conversation is rich with useful information in our care for self. I’m grateful that I met Heather at a local woman’s event and look forward to continuing learning with her.
