When 2 highly skilled MFR Therapists work in tandem on the client, it doesn’t just double the effect, it causes a quantum leap in the client’s ability to center and heal as the restricted tissue begins to unwind, rehydrate and glide once again.

MEET OUR HIGHLY SKILLED THERAPISTS

Lori Walters, LMT

On April 8, 1996, Lori awoke to find that her health didn’t!  Her “super-mom” lifestyle abruptly dissolved into debilitating anxiety, fatigue and pain. This was not the flu or any other virus that would run its course within a short period of time.  

Unable to sit up long enough to comb her two young daughters' hair before school, her daily diet of tears and sorrow was originally the only way to deal with the grief of the loss of the health she once had

Not one of the 21 doctors & specialists she saw could bring any answers to her dire situation and in fact many threw up their hands after multiple testing and told her it may all just be in her head.

After years of learning to live with this chronic illness of generalized anxiety, chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia, Lori went on to study Massage Therapy as it was one modality that brought temporary relief of some of her symptoms.  She completed the class with honors and holds an 1,100 hour Massage Certificate. 

Then she stumbled onto Myofascial Release Therapy…

As a professional massage therapist, Lori took a continuing educational class in 2007.  The John F. Barnes approach to Myofascial Release Therapy. Being a sceptic that nothing will work and she has to figure out how to live with this seemingly life sentence of pain and anxiety, this incredible modality changed everything for her!!

Lori realized her life's calling was two-fold:

1.  Become the patient and take part in a 2-week (32-hr.) Intensive Myofascial Release Program with John F. Barnes in Sedona, AZ, to reclaim her own health.

2.  Help others gain freedom from pain with this profound therapy.

Practicing therapeutic bodywork since 2001, Lori is also an Expert Therapist in the John F. Barnes' approach to Myofascial Release (MFR) with over 600 hours of training from the world-renowned John F. Barnes, PT, LMT, NCTMB.

Lori Walters, LMT and her partner, Kristi White, LMT co-own Authentic Healing Myofascial Release located in Templeton Tennis Ranch, and specialize as the only Tandem Myofascial Team on the Central Coast of California.

Kristi White, LMT

A junior olympic four-time award medalist, an All-American women’s soccer player, and honored as most valuable coach.  She knows the importance of how health and wellness affects the quality of life, sport, and overall happiness.

Kristi understands first-hand how it feels to be severely injured. In an instant, her valued position on the field, leading her team to victory, was exchanged for a painful surgery and recovery with months of physical therapy.  Committed to her health, her team, and her passion for Soccer, Kristi persevered keeping her eyes on the goal of returning stronger and better than before she was injured.  

In 1989, Kristi White retired from playing national level soccer and went on to receive her BA degree in Coaching/Teaching Physical Education.

In 2016, she suffered an injury resulting in chronic debilitating pain where she was in constant pain and became a patient once again.  This time, the all too familiar world of physical therapy, medical tests, among other traditional therapies didn’t yield her the results she needed to resume normal life.

Her search for the missing link in her recovery led her to John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR).

Immediately, Kristi realize this therapy was different then anything she had ever experienced.  In fact, during the very first session, she recalls feeling the difference and knew that this therapy would soon change everything for her and open up a new way of being. 

MFR therapy was so profound that it intrigued her to continue pursuing it not only personally, but now as a profession. 

Building upon her education, gifts and talents, Kristi is now an Advanced MFR Therapist ~ trained by John F. Barnes, PT as well as Expert MFR therapist Lori Walters, LMT.

With over 28 years as an entrepreneur in the sport and wellness field, Kristi has a passion to help others find the missing link of MFR and get back to living a full balanced, authentic life!

Kristi enjoys the fun, fast growing sport of Pickleball at Templeton Tennis Ranch where Lori and Kristi have their MFR office in the Wellness Center in Templeton, California.
