Mary Alice Farina is a licensed massage therapist and long time practitioner of Visceral Manipulation, Craniosacral Therapy, nueral manipulation. Mary Alice brings a unique perspective of truly listening to the body, because her first patients were actually animals; they couldn't communicate with words, so she had to fine tune her listening and observation skills to listen to the body, to identify the root cause of symptoms, and treat them there. In this episode, we talk through this exceptional capacity for listening, what visceral manipulation is, and how fascia is one of the key tissues in unraveling trauma, our pain.
