Fascia & Somatics Basics
A self-guided embodied guide designed to support physical release, fascia softening, and nervous system settling through gentle somatic practices.
This is for you if…
your body feels tight, braced, or chronically tense
you notice holding in your jaw, hips, ribs, or belly
stress lingers in your body even after rest
stretching feels too aggressive or ineffective
you want to release tension without forcing or pushing
you feel disconnected from your body and want to re-enter gently
What’s inside
A clear explanation of fascia and its role in holding stress
Simple somatic practices to support physical softening
Micro-movement sequences for common holding patterns
Guidance on pairing release with nervous system safety
Language that emphasizes completion rather than correction
How to use it
Use this guide as needed, especially during periods of stress, emotional intensity, or physical tightness. Practices can be done in short sessions and repeated as often as feels supportive.
Next step
If releasing tension reveals patterns you want to understand more deeply, your next step is a FSS Clarity Session, where we explore how fascia, nervous system patterns, hormones, and emotions interact in your system.
