Tribute to John F. Barnes|19-DEC-2025

​I met John F. Barnes in 2008 (Image 1: Sedona, AZ). We shared many laughs, had insightful conversations, joked about me taking over his office at Therapy on the Rocks. I co-treated with John, was asked to demo techniques. John treated me and many others. He heard the unspoken, we felt safe to cry, and be held in safety by this amazing human; who was more than a mentor to me. In October of 2006, I was fortunate to stumble upon Myofascial Release. As a Practitioner I knew my life would forever be changed. Now, after many years and many major shifts later, once again I know that Dec. 19th will be a date edge in OUR souls marking a yet to be named feeling. Through my own journey, my intuition, my MFR path and beyond, my unbecoming as Paulo Coelho puts it...I hope 2026 allows YOU to UNBECOME and connect with BEING the version of YOU that loves you, and is proud of your UNIQUENESS. "Maybe the journey isn't about becoming anything. Maybe it's about UNBECOMING everything that isn't really you, so that you can be who YOU were meant to be in the first place" -Paulo Coelho.
