Episode 46 - Centeredness, Synchronicity, and the True Heart of Myofascial Release with JJ Morales

In this deeply reflective episode of the Myofascial Health Podcast, Unu sits down with JJ Morales—occupational therapist, massage therapist, and long-time practitioner of Myofascial Release—to explore the quieter, often unspoken dimensions of healing. JJ shares her personal journey into MFR, beginning with her early days in the school system and the moment she realized there had to be a gentler, more humane way to help the body heal. What unfolds is a story of trust, curiosity, and discovering a practice that doesn’t force change, but waits for it.

Together, Unu and JJ unpack what it truly means to be centered—not just as therapists, but as human beings. JJ describes centeredness as spaciousness in the body, freedom from anxious thought loops, and the ability to be fully present with another person. The conversation moves into the challenge of silence in treatment, letting go of the need to “do,” and allowing the client’s experience to lead the session. These reflections offer powerful insights for practitioners at any stage of their journey, especially those learning to trust less effort and more awareness.

The episode also dives into synchronicity and flow—those meaningful coincidences that seem to arise when we are aligned and present. JJ shares profound moments from her own healing experiences, illustrating how Myofascial Release can open doors to emotional integration, embodiment, and quantum shifts in perception. Woven throughout is an honest discussion about money, self-worth, and building a sustainable practice that honors both the therapist’s energy and the client’s healing. This conversation is a reminder that at the true heart of Myofascial Release is presence, humility, and trust in the body’s innate intelligence.
