BFM Session
What to Expect in BFR Session

When you step into my studio for a BFR session, you enter a quiet, safe space where your body is truly heard.

BFR is not massage, not stretching, and not about forcing your body to change. It is a gentle, listening approach that invites your fascia — the connective tissue network that surrounds every muscle, organ, and nerve — to soften, release, and return to balance.

  • You’ll remain fully clothed, lying comfortably on a treatment table.

  • Through light, sustained hand contact, I create the conditions for your body to release what it’s been holding.

  • This signals your nervous system to shift from fight or flight into rest and repair.

What happens on the outside may look subtle. What happens on the inside can feel like:

  • Warmth or tingling,

  • A sense of melting,

  • Gentle trembles or emotional release,

  • Lightness, calm, or new freedom of breath.

Each session unfolds uniquely. Sometimes it is quiet, sometimes dialogue arises. Always, it is your body leading the way.

Why People Choose BFR

Every person comes with a different story. Some are seeking relief from pain or stiffness, others from stress or fatigue. Many are simply longing to feel more at ease in their own body.

BFR has been supportive for people experiencing:

  • Chronic tension and pain (back, neck, shoulders, joints).

  • Postural imbalances (including scoliosis).

  • Recovery needs (after injuries or surgeries, once medically cleared).

  • Stress and nervous system overload (anxiety, poor sleep, chronic fatigue).

  • Breath and digestion restrictions (linked to fascial tightness).

  • Neurological or long-standing conditions where gentle, non-invasive support is helpful.

 Because fascia connects everything, BFR often helps where other approaches have plateaued.

​

  • I do not diagnose conditions nor do I prescribe or perform medical treatment, I do not prescribe any prescription medications or substances, nor interfere with the treatment of a licensed medical professional.  As a holistic healing BFR does not take the place of medical care.

  • BFR treatments are not intended to replace appointments or relationships with primary care doctors. It is recommended to see a licensed physician or licensed health care professional for any physical or psychological ailment you may have. 

  •  If you have a serious health problem that requires immediate attention, you should call your primary doctor, call 911, or have someone take you to the nearest hospital emergency room.

For Kids: Superpower Fascia Map™

Helping children discover their body’s secret strengths

A playful practice I created to help children feel their body’s hidden powers. Some children respond best to gentle play. The Superpower Fascia Map™ turns body awareness into a superhero adventure — roots, bridge, balloon, wings, fire, and crown become “powers” they can color, imagine, and feel. While it seems playful on the surface, this tool helps kids notice tension, soften stress, and connect with their natural sense of calm and strength.For parents, the Superpower Fascia Packet explains how this playful practice supports their child’s healing and offers a simple way to continue the journey at home.

The Rhythm of Sessions

Fascia holds memories — of injuries, postures, stress, and time. These layers take patience to unwind.

  • After one session: You may notice lighter breathing, calmer energy, or less pain.

  • After a few sessions: Subtle posture shifts, deeper rest, fewer spikes of discomfort.

  • Over a course (10+ sessions): Lasting changes emerge — greater ease, resilience, and balance.

     Think of it not as a quick fix, but as an investment in long-term vitality.

​

Whether your discomfort is new or decades old, BFR offers a safe, gentle path toward balance. Your body knows how to heal — sometimes it just needs the space to remember.

Healing stories
Healing Stories.

​Every body carries a story. Here, clients share in their own words how gentle fascia work and inner healing have opened space for more breath, ease, and balance. May their journeys inspire your own.

​

After just three BFR sessions, I noticed my neck felt freer and my headaches had eased. By session six, I was sleeping through the night without waking from discomfort. This work is so gentle but the results are powerful — I wish I’d found it years ago                                                                                                                                        - Sarah M., 48

​

I injured my back 20 years ago and have lived with daily stiffness since. After the first BFR session, I felt lighter and more grounded. By the fifth session, my range of motion improved and I could garden again without pain. It’s not just physical — I feel calmer, too                                                                                                                         - James R

 

​

Living with fibromyalgia means constant pain and fatigue. I was skeptical about something so gentle making a difference. But after my second session, my body felt more relaxed than it had in years. After ten sessions, I have more good days than bad, and my energy levels are finally improving.                                                  - Linda

 

​

Working at a computer all day had my shoulders up to my ears and constant upper back tension. The BFR sessions not only released the tightness, but I also feel more aware of my posture now. Even my breathing feels deeper and easier.

                                                                                                                                                          - Mark T., 41

 

I originally came for stress relief, but BFR gave me more than I expected. It felt like layers of tension were peeling away. I left each session feeling calm, clear-headed, and lighter in my body. My friends keep asking what I’m doing differently!​                                                                                                                                                               - Anna K., 35

​

I am a woodworker/carpenter. I am 68 years old. I developed facia adhesion in my forearms that was so bad it kept me from sleeping at night, in fact the condition was worse when I tried to sleep, chronic pain. The BFR method has given me 95% pain free existence from doing the 17 session course. I cannot over emphasize my gratitude for this technique. It made me, the eternal skeptic, a true believer.                                                                                                          - Jim

                  

I had problems with the spine. Based  on reviews, I decided to turn to this method. I completed a full course of 10 sessions. I can say that there really is a result and it’s really not bad - the pain in the neck and the migraines caused by it disappeared, which I was pleasantly surprised                                                                                  - Alexei
​
I am a therapist, a neurologist, a chiropractor, a doctor of osteopathy in Europe by my first education. Now I think that, apparently, I needed this education in order for me to come to a method that returns health and life.
I would like to note that BFM is unparalleled in the consistency of results that have not been achieved by any of the techniques that I have mastered in the course of my medical practice.
BFM method ,as it turned out, can work wonders. Children with cerebral palsy, thanks to the method, get on their feet. Parents have the opportunity to adapt them to society. Patients, who lost all hope and faith in recovery of their children, because our medicine has given up on them, are now happy to see some signs of improvement .
                                                                                                                                                               - Lyubov Golubeva.

 

Good day everyone!
I had a lot of pain in my lower back, sacrum and legs when walking.
I love to walk, so I tried to get rid of this pain. 
I have tried different types of massage. It helped, but not for long.
I came to the session unexpectedly. I decided to have a trial session and to see what would I feel .
I was surprised - such light touches and the body began to be freed from such tensions that I did not even suspect. 
After the third session I had the feeling that gravity had changed - my body seemed so light.
Emotional pains also left the body . I must say that I recalled these situations associated with pain and emotions during the session, but I did not remember when did it happened. 
 I don't have any aches now I remember about the pains in the sacrum and legs and lower back only because of them I came to BFM session.. And now I walk easily and freely.  I can only say one thing - the body comes to life, becomes light, soft, flexible after the course. 

                                                                                                                                                             - Ira Vasilkova
