Introducing, Jennie Blevins of A Healing Journey!

🌟  What inspired you to start your business in the wellness industry, and how does your approach stand out from others in this space?

My personal journey led me to explore Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR) due to persistent health challenges, including unexplained aches, pains, and multiple surgeries. In 2022, I faced the need for a second shoulder surgery and a recurring hip issue arose again, which prompted me to seek alternative solutions. A transformative experience with MFR inspired me to pursue this healing practice as my life’s purpose. In January 2023 I enrolled in my first three MFR seminars, I embarked on this new path by registering my own LLC in May 2023, and officially opening my practice in June 2023.

Myofascial Release is a form of therapy that addresses restrictions and imbalances of the connective tissue in the body and is used to promote wellness, decrease or eliminate pain and restore movement. There are several different forms of MFR, but the John F. Barnes’ approach is unique. It is a gentle, full body and holistic form of bodywork, stretching, and self-treatment techniques. It is composed of three parts: structural releases, unwinding, and rebounding.

🌟  What trends or changes in consumer behavior are you seeing in wellness, and how is your business adapting to meet these evolving needs?

For the last several years I have noticed a shift in healthcare and the way people are approaching the care they choose to receive. They are fed-up with not getting answers to their health issues, having medications and procedures pushed on them with no long term results.

For the ones that are frustrated and truly want to get better are taking an active role in their care and seeking “Alternative Treatments”.  Although, I truly believe what today’s society calls “Alternative Care/Treatment/Therapy” is actually “Original Care/Treatment/Therapy”. These practices have been around for a long time, but have not been used as a first line of treatment since the advancements in western medicine. Myofascial Release is a gentle skin-to-skin therapy with long sustained holds that allows the body to heal itself. The practitioner is simply a “tool” to help the body heal itself.

🌟 How do you measure success in helping your clients achieve their wellness goals, and can you share any success stories that highlight your impact?

Measuring success with my clients is simply assessing how they feel after their sessions, how they feel after getting back to their day to day lives, whether they have pain relief, and if their bodies function in a more optimal manner, meaning the body is in better alignment.

A couple favorite Success Stories:

“Jennie. I wanted to let you know that I wore my Teva sandals for 5 days and my ankle did not hurt. Thank you so much for helping me.” This particular client wasn’t able to wear anything but gym shoes for months without her ankle/foot hurting her.

“Jennie~ thank you for all you have done for me & my children! I cannot thank you enough!! You have given ME my LIFE back and most important you have given my children their MAMA back!! Thank you for answering my prayers~ you are truly an Angel! Love to you my new friend!!”
