Immersing yourself in nature isn't just a retreat for the senses; it's a powerful way to heal both body and mind. From the soothing rustle of leaves to the grounding feel of the earth beneath your feet, nature can calm, restore, and energize. Physically, it reduces stress hormones, lowers blood pressure, and enhances immune function. Emotionally, it improves clarity, creativity, and a deeper connection to oneself. Much like the myofascial system in our bodies, nature operates as a network of balance and resilience—reminding us that healing is often found in simplicity and stillness. Whether it's a quiet walk through the woods or simply listening to birdsong, nature invites us to return to our natural rhythm to unlock healing and inner strength.In this episode, we discuss nature-inspired healing, nature's healing powers for our bodies, minds, and spirits, and how this can mirror what MFR provides with Karen Remele. Karen's journey began as a modern jazz dancer and instructor until a horrific motorcycle accident changed her life. She is now dedicated to helping others live pain-free existences and educating them on the benefits of myofascial release. Karen is both a licensed physical therapist assistant and a licensed massage therapist. Ultimately, she became a student and expert instructor at John.

In this episode, Dr. Jenna Kantor, PT, DPT is joined by Veatrice Cook, PT, MA, to discuss her long career in physical therapy and the incredible legacy she will leave for generations to come. Veatrice is a leader in physical therapy and one of the founders of the American Academy of Physical Therapy. Beatrice shares her journey into physical therapy, which was sparked by watching a physical therapist on a soap opera. She discusses her passion for healthcare and how she found her calling in physical therapy. Tune in to be inspired by Beatrice's story and learn about the impact physical therapists can have on the profession.   Show notes:  [00:01:12] Soap opera inspires career choice. [00:06:33] Mental health and leadership. [00:09:42] Lack of representation in leadership. [00:17:30] The logo design. [00:19:25] Impact on students. [00:25:47] Working with the organization. [00:28:13] Fighting for equal job opportunities.   More About Veatrice: Veatrice A. Cook is a native East Texan, born in Livingston, Texas, where she grew up and graduated from Livingston High School in Polk County.   In her junior year of high school she realized that she wanted to be a physical therapist, and researched more about the profession, only to discover the challenges facing admission into a college program, as an African American student.  The number of African Americans that made up the physical therapy profession in 1968 was less than 2%. Ms. Cook received a BS degree in Physical Therapy from Texas Woman's University, Denton, Texas in1976, and a MA degree in Special Education, from the University of Texas, Austin, Texas in 1981.  As a clinician, she has been trained in the John F. Barnes' Myofascial Release Approach, and continues to use it in her practice setting.  Currently she is the Director of Rehabilitation for TeamCareRehab, Inc in San Antonio, Texas. After practicing for over 47 years she is often asked about retiring, and her reply is always, “ I love the work that I do, and it's really not work when it's something that you enjoy”. The limited number of African Americans in the profession of physical therapy, and the lack of mentors was the inspiration that gave Ms. Cook the zeal to help found and organize two professional Physical Therapy organizations:  The Texas Network of Minority Physical Therapists (TNMPT) in 1987 and The American Academy of Physical Therapy, Inc (AAPT) in 1989.  Ms. Cook, along with Dr. Lynda Woodruff were the organizers, and two of the Founders of the AAPT.  82 African American physical therapists and physical therapist assistants met in Chicago, Illinois on September 16, 1989 to form this great organization, along with 13 others that sent funds to help in the efforts.  Ms. Cook, the meeting facilitator was elected as the Charter Treasurer, and served as Annual Conference Chair for 10 years.  She was also an active member of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) and the Texas Physical Therapy Association, and serviced as Chairperson of the Advisory Committee on Minority Affairs for the APTA.  As a community activist, Ms. Cook has served on numerous boards and nonprofit organizations, and has been awarded many honors for her service.  In her profession she received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Texas Woman's University and the Leadership Award from the AAPT. Ms. Cook often says that here greatest honor is being the mother of three wonderful children, Marcus Lorioun, Vernetha Dionne, and Lawrence Ray Williams, Jr., who are all college graduates and have successful careers.  She is also a grandmother of two outstanding grandsons who are carrying on the family tradition of leadership in their high school.   More About Jenna: Jenna Kantor, PT, DPT, is a bubbly and energetic woman who was born and raised in Petaluma, California. She trained intensively at Petaluma City Ballet, Houston Ballet, BalletMet, Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet, Regional Dance America Choreography Conference, and Regional Dance America. Over time, the injuries added up and she knew she would not have a lasting career in ballet. This lead her to the University of California, Irvine, where she discovered a passion for musical theatre.    Upon graduating, Jenna Kantor worked professionally in musical theatre for 15+ years then found herself ready to move onto a new chapter in her life. Jenna was teaching ballet to kids ages 4 through 17 and group fitness classes to adults. Through teaching, she discovered she had a deep interest in the human body and a desire to help others on a higher level. She was fortunate to get accepted into the DPT program at Columbia.   Dr. Kantor co-founded and runs Fairytale Physical Therapy which brings musical theatre shows to children in hospitals. She hosts the Dance PT Podcast and guest hosts on the podcast Healthy, Wealthy, and Smart. She has served as the NYPTA SSIG Advocacy Chair, the NYC Conclave 2017 committee, NYPTA Social media committee, was the NYPTA Public Policy Student Liaison, and co-founded the NYPTA SSIG. Dr. Kantor won the APTA PPS Business Concept Contest and made the top 40 List for an Up and Coming Physical Therapy with UpDoc Media before graduating PT school. ​ Jenna Kantor currently volunteers with the PPS Marketing & PR Committee and is the website builder for the American Academy of Physical Therapy. She provides complimentary, regular online content that advocates for the physical therapy profession.    Dr. Kantor runs her own private practice, Jenna Kantor Physical Therapy, PLLC, and an online wellness program for performing artists called Powerful Performer.

Myofascial release therapy (MFR) was developed by John F. Barnes, PT to specifically address the fascia, the connective tissue that runs like a three-dimensional web throughout the body. MFR involves applying gentle, sustained pressure into myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. Three main components, structural releases, unwinding, and rebounding combined with an awareness or energy to enable the patient to break through physical and emotional restrictions. By going slowly and waiting for the body's natural rhythm, the fascia responds to your therapist's skilled touch by elongating, rehydrating, and reorganizing. MFR opens space for fluid and energy movement, facilitating greater circulation and communication—allowing the body to heal.

She is currently working on her no holds barred book on childbirth to help return it to it's true roots, which is the access point to gentler and healthier communities. As is the journey of a human life, Lori has seen the depths of the most intimate despair during hers. Her 30s were a journey of heartbreak and pain as she experienced the tragedy of her first daughter being born still. From there she was hit with the continued devastation of losing her health, her next pregnancy and ultimately her marriage. It seemed her heart died with her children. For a decade she lived the fluctuation of extreme grief and bitterness, but also the sliver of hope that there could be a life of joy somehow for her. Beginning the long road back to life, Lori drove her two cats across the country and started over from scratch. She poured herself into working with fertility and pregnancy supporting other people on their path to family, even amid the dwindling hope of her own. While no one could help her extreme illness, she never stopped researching and becoming her biggest ally to get back to health and balance. The years of healing were long and excruciating much of the time. A very deep abandonment wound from her own adoption experience has emerged as a critical piece in this difficult puzzle. Her journey of truly looking at and exploring the trauma of her lifetime and that of her ancestors has lead to the most profound sensitivity and awareness of who we are in all of our divinity. Clawing her way back to life, even with the pain of living it without children of her own, she has so much experience to share with you on this truly raw and tender human experience and the joy of finding a beautiful life again. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/yourbestlifestyles/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/yourbestlifestyles/support

Lori was given up for adoption at birth, she was whisked away from her mother and spent three weeks in a nursery before she was adopted.  There was no skin to skin contact, there was no bonding.  This was the beginning of her life.  This crucial period of time shaped Lori's life.  This is her journey of recognizing this wound, healing from it and helping others to conceive and give birth in a beautiful, natural way.  As a western society we recognize  that outside factors affect the unborn baby.   We know the Do's and Don'ts.  Eat well, take vitamins, exercise, get plenty of sleep, avoid chemicals, alcohol and drugs.  But what about the emotions of the mother.  What about the birth itself?  This episode speaks to the link that the emotional well being of the mother and the birthing process directly affects the personality of the child.   To contact The Front Seat Podcast click on the link tree below!https://linktr.ee/frontseatpodcast To contact Lori:http://www.therawandwildhearts.comtherawandwildhearts@gmail.comMORE INFOLori Reising is the founder of The Raw and Wild Hearts Podcast, Awakening Your Life Force Retreats and Beginning Within Therapy.

Kara Welke, OTD, OTR/L, CLT creator of the Next Level Occupational Therapy platform interviews Erin Lindberg who has been an Occupational Therapist since 2001. She has always had a passion to help and serve others. She chose the field of Occupational Therapy due to the holistic nature of the profession and her fascination with the mind-body connection. She graduated from the School of Medicine and Health Sciences at the University of North Dakota with a minor in Psychology. Throughout her career, she has practiced in various settings and leadership. Erin discovered her calling in 2004 when she began her holistic therapy journey with John F. Barnes and his Myofascial Release approach. The personal experience created an understanding and empathy for women suffering from pelvic health issues, which led her to expand her holistic practice into women’s health in 2010. Erin is passionate about whole-body health and hands-on individualized care, without the constraints and restrictions of insurance and large corporations. This sparked entrepreneurship with a non-traditional service model that provides comprehensive holistic care to clients that aligned with her personal and professional goals. In 2018, she opened her cash-based, holistic OT practice and multidisciplinary holistic health collaborative. This came with challenges and learning experiences due to the limited resources for Occupational Therapists who want to start their own business. Erin’s mission is to empower clients through holistic OT practice and mentor professionals on expanding beyond their traditional OT role.

She didn’t come to it on purpose; it was an add-on, so to speak, that touched her so deeply, she had to know more. And through that exploration, she entered a new phase in her life and added a whole new facet to the work she does in healing.    Kristin Ponzi is a Licensed Massage Therapist, with specialization in Myofascial Therapy. While attending a retreat with some of her colleagues, they experienced a private session with a guy who does sound healing using a variety of instruments and meditation. It was one of those supremely profound experiences that literally changes the course of your life.    Kristin shares the story of this experience, the visions and guides she encountered during her meditation, and the journey she’s been on to share that experience with the people she serves in her practice at Essence Body Work in Columbus, OH.    She uses Himalayan Bowls, which create specific sound waves – vibrational frequencies that influence the brain wave states her clients drop into while working with her. Essentially, her goal is to create deep relaxation and to restore equilibrium in the body. After all, “when you are 80% water, if you’re dehydrated, information doesn’t move through your body very well,” she explained to Laura during their conversation.    Their conversation takes a few turns, dipping into meditation, expectation, sound frequency and the vibrational impacts on everything around us, the difference between coaching and mentoring, and our responsibility when raising children! While these topics may seem disparate, the conversation is powerful and flows through them all with ease and connection.    Kristin’s Bio   Kristin Ponzi is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Sound Therapy Practitioner, and the owner of Essence Body Work. She received her massage therapy license over 18 years ago, after switching paths from a corporate career to a profession where she could connect with and help others and has been happily touching people’s lives ever since! She specializes in the John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach and Vibrational Sound Therapy. Her goals, through myofascial release and vibrational sound therapy are to help people to return to their active, healthy lives, and to help them cultivate a deeper relationship with the essence of who they are!   Resources discussed and connect with Kristin here:    www.EssenceBodyWork.com www.Facebook.com/EssenceBodyWork Glenfiddich Ad – Watch Sound Vibrations!   Previous Podcasts Referred to:    Dr. Paul R.

Your body is wise. It has intricate systems for processing information, including holding that information inside its cells. Sarah and I talk about the fascia - our body's connective tissue - and how it holds us together, both physically and emotionally. Sarah is a physical therapist and John F. Barnes myofascial release practitioner who believes that we can find freedom and resiliency in our lives by listening deeply and responding to the wisdom of the body. In this conversation, we talk about: -How trauma is stored in the body -How fascia is the web that holds us together and what happens when it gets sticky -How highly sensitive people are prone to fascial restrictions and what we can do about them -How myofascial release helps the body restore balance naturally, without force -What the pelvic floor is really all about and why we need to rethink Kegel exercises -How our cultural and social norms create pressure that has a physical effect on the body, and how we can heal (and be a rebellion while we're at it).

I spent 4 days in Myrtle Beach, SC taking a continuing education seminar, Myofascial Release 1 (MFR1), with John Barnes. Actually, I was repeating this seminar, as it is by far one of the best series of continuing education courses focusing on soft-tissue treatment that I've taken and used successfully with my patients in my 16 years as a therapist. While at the seminar I had the opportunity to interview John F. Barnes, PT. I was honored and super excited when he said yes. John has been one of my earliest mentors and teachers, writing me a glowing recommendation for PT school, even after trying to convince me that I really didn't need to go back to grad school to be a successful therapist. He was also one of the 1st people to introduce the idea of a cash-based physical therapy practice to me (he also encouraged me to start one myself) and empowered me to do what I thought was best for my patients.   Click here http://lebauerconsulting.com/checklist for your free CashPT Checklist.

In this episode, Janet and Nikki chat with Pilates teacher and Movement Coach James Crader about how the core is more than just the "abs" and how to use this idea for whole body movement. They cover: Why you might want to rethink how you use common fitness cues like brace and squeeze (and when you should use those words) The difference between finding your core through the action of squeezing and engaging it through dynamic movement How core became a fitness buzzword and why it's more than just training the abdominals Finding a balance between abdominal exercises like planks and crunches and building awareness around the abs through movement exploration The role of muscle timing and the nervous system in efficient movement The potential issues with living + training in a posterior pelvic tilt and the potential correlation with intestinal distress Tips for creating more exploration and ease in your movement and Pilates practice About James Crader:  James is a Movement Coach specializing in Pilates and John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Therapy, a CoreAlign Faculty Member, co-host of the Thinking Pilates Podcast, and owner of Evolved Body Studio in Sacramento, CA. Growing up he never thought anything fitness would be his calling. He was nerdy, enjoyed listening to and telling stories, and loved to experiment, create, and play with the shapes he could make while rolling around on the floor. He and his sister even practiced writing with their toes (just in case). All that made for a really weird kid, but an innovative movement educator. James began his Pilates training with Balanced Body, but has gone on to study with numerous teachers from many lineages of Pilates and beyond. James has contributed to movement and lifestyle conversations on podcasts, diverse blogs, Pilates Style magazine, the documentary A Movement of Movement, and now Pilates Anytime. You can find out more about James and EB Studio at www.EvolvedBodyStudio.com, or follow his movement musings through Project Movement University (project_Move.U.) on Facebook and Instagram.
