Meet Diana
Diana DenBeste, LMT,PA,MFRT
We are beyond thrilled to have Diana with us!! Diana is a Master Myofascial Release Therapist. She has instructed and mentored many through the years. To get on her table is truly an honor.
My introduction to bodywork came in the mid ‘90s when I was employed at a medical pain clinic as a Physician Assistant and Licensed Professional Counselor. I soon saw the power of body based therapies to bring relief from chronic pain. I pivoted from medical to alternative remedies with advanced training in craniosacral therapy and myofascial release techniques after basic massage education.
I focus on the fascial tissue which lines all structures including muscle, joints and bones from deep in the body to just below the skin. The pressure used is lighter and held for extended periods to allow the body to release at its own pace and to an extent that can be maintained after treatment.
Fascial massage can relieve chronic as well as acute pain caused by physical and emotional trauma. It is effective in releasing restrictions after surgical or radiation treatment for cancer. It is extremely relaxing and calming for chronic stress related to autoimmune or psychological conditions.
My educational background in medical and psychological fields affords a sense of ease with a wide variety of human maladies. I have faced my own personal challenges with chronic pain and PTSD and consider body based therapies to be powerful healing modalities.
