• Unlocking Suppressed Emotions and Trauma with Fascial Release w/ Deanna Hansen

  Deanna Hansen is an Athletic Therapist and the creator of Block Therapy, a therapeutic system designed to release adhesions in the fascia, restore structural alignment, and improve overall wellbeing through breath, pressure, and stillness. After her own struggles with anxiety, body image, and chronic tension, she discovered how deeply the fascial system responds to emotion, stress, and gravity and built an approach that helps people decompress both physically and mentally.In this interview, Deanna breaks down the connection between emotional trauma and the body, explaining how the fascia can lock in old patterns and change the way you breathe, move, and even carry yourself through the world. We explore why the diaphragm is central to your health, how gravity shapes your posture more than you realize, and why consistent daily work is the real key to long-term change.Join Sara and Les in Boone, NC in April 2026 The Great Unwind RetreatCheck Out the New YouTube Channel Here1:1 SessionsPERSONALIZED HYPNOTHERAPY, TRANSFORMATIONAL COACHING, OR MOVEMENT COACHING ---------------------------------------------Buy Sara's New Book Here!Please give a review and let the community know what you think!Thanks so much for all of your support!With gratitude,Les and Sara_________________________________________________________Some of our Favorite Affiliates...Sweat it out with an Infrared Sauna from SunlightenThe Apollo Use Discount Code: MINDFULSleep Well on these Grounding Mats from Ultimate LongevityAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

• Your HEALTH May Hinge On This One Underrated Muscle with Rachel Davis

  In this episode I sit down with Rachael Davis, RDH and Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist from R.A.D. Myofunctional Therapy, to dig into how oral health and breathing patterns go far beyond the dentist’s chair. We explore everything from tongue positioning and low tongue tone, to how breastfeeding and diet shape early oral development, and even how emotional stress shows up in our faces, mouths and posture.Rachael shares powerful insights into daily practices you can use at home: why it matters where your tongue rests when you’re not swallowing, how nasal breathing can change your facial structure and airway over time, and how simple activities like singing or gentle body movement support deeper healing. Whether you’re working with open bite, mouth breathing, tongue thrust or post operative frenectomy care, you’ll come away with tools and understanding to support your own oral facial health journey.Connect with Rachel here: https://radmyofunctionaltherapy.com/00:00 Introduction to Craniosacral and Myofunctional Therapy03:00 The Importance of Tongue Position and Function06:06 Understanding Low Tongue Tone and Its Effects08:59 The Connection Between Tongue Function and Digestion11:55 Breastfeeding and Its Impact on Oral Development14:54 The Role of Diet in Oral Health17:48 Signs of Myofunctional Disorders in Children and Adults20:45 Myofunctional Therapy Techniques and Exercises23:55 The Role of Fascia in Myofunctional Therapy26:51 Cultural Differences in Diet and Oral Health38:54 Understanding Craniosacral Fascial Therapy46:46 The Power of Touch and Emotional Release54:46 Daily Routines for Holistic HealthJoin Sara and Les in Boone, NC in April 2026 The Great Unwind RetreatCheck Out the New YouTube Channel Here1:1 SessionsPERSONALIZED HYPNOTHERAPY, TRANSFORMATIONAL COACHING, OR MOVEMENT COACHING ---------------------------------------------Buy Sara's New Book Here!Please give a review and let the community know what you think!Thanks so much for all of your support!With gratitude,Les and Sara_________________________________________________________Some of our Favorite Affiliates...Sweat it out with an Infrared Sauna from SunlightenThe Apollo Use Discount Code: MINDFULSleep Well on these Grounding Mats from Ultimate LongevityAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
