ABOUT ROXANNE

Movement teacher turned Myofascial Release Therapist — by way of my own body.

Roxanne VanPelt, Myofascial Release Therapist

I found this work through my own healing journey.

After the cesarean birth of my twins left me with pelvic floor dysfunction, I began searching for a way to feel better in my body. I first discovered Body Mechanics and learned how changing the way I moved could change the way I felt.

Myofascial Release became the next piece of that journey, helping me understand how restrictions in the body can affect movement and connection.

Experiencing those changes in my own body is what ultimately led me to this work and to the approach I use with my clients today. That experience became the beginning of a journey that has now spanned nearly two decades.

Over the years, I’ve worked with people experiencing chronic pain, pelvic floor challenges, surgical scars, restricted movement, postural patterns, and bodies that simply don’t feel the way they used to.

And the longer I’ve done this work, the more clearly I’ve come to understand one thing:

The body and the life it carries are not separate.

Sometimes the patterns that keep us stuck show up as pain, tension, restriction, or changes in the way we move. Sometimes they show up in the way we think, respond, protect ourselves, relate to others, or move through our lives.

That understanding is part of what eventually led me to Transformational Coaching. It gave me another way to support people in becoming more aware of the patterns they’re carrying and more empowered to create meaningful change.

The body is always communicating.

I believe your body is constantly giving you information. Pain, tightness, guarding, restricted movement, and recurring patterns can all be invitations to become curious about what’s happening underneath.

Whether we’re working through the body, through conversation, or through both, the goal is the same: to help you become more aware of your patterns, reconnect with yourself, and feel empowered to create change.

Different tools. Same belief.

Whether I’m working with someone through Myofascial Release, pelvic wellness, movement, scar work, or coaching, the underlying belief is the same:

You are an active part of your own healing and change.

My role is to help you become more aware of what your body and your patterns are showing you, so you can make choices that feel intentional and empowering.

What continues to inspire me is watching people reconnect with themselves. I love seeing someone begin to understand their body differently, notice patterns they might not have seen before, and feel more confident in the choices they make for themselves.

Helping you come home to your body.

For me, wellness isn’t about becoming a perfect version of yourself. It’s about becoming more connected to yourself.

More aware.
More comfortable in your body.
More able to recognize what you need.
And more willing to trust what you’re learning about yourself.

Let’s start there.
