Bernadette Pierson
Owner and Therapist

Bernadette Pierson, an Occupational Therapist, has been trained under John Barnes in Myofascial Release techniques since 2002. Her background as an Occupational Therapist since 1990, has given her a foundation to help a significant number of people who have had medical complications resulting in myofascial pain and dysfunction including back, neck, cervical, knee injuries, woman’s health complications, shoulder and hand injuries, from pinched nerves, tendon injuries, and arthritis.


She has been a Reiki Master since 2003. She combines Cranial Sacral Myofascial Release Therapy, Reiki, and Sound Healing to create an ultimate body-mind-spirit relaxation experience.


Since 2021 she has been certified in using Sound Healing. This is a powerful therapy that combines different healing sounds, music, and sound-healing instruments to improve well-being.


Having experienced tailbone injuries resulting in nerve pain and dysfunction she was able to get some relief from massage, acupuncture, chiropractic, and reflexology, but it was not until getting myofascial release treatments that the pain was completely resolved. She has helped chronic pain sufferers who have sought out relief in those modalities as well, but the results of myofascial release have been long-lasting. The above modalities can still be complementary to myofascial release and help with overall pain and movement dysfunction.
