Treatments & Getting Started
Fascial Connections is a Myofascial Release practice in Ottawa supporting the whole person—physical, emotional and mental—and recognizing the patterns and experiences that influence how the body adapts.
We understand that beginning something new can come with questions. This page is here to help you understand what getting started with Tara’s practice looks like.
New Patient Care Beginning in 2027
Tara’s practice is currently very full, with new patient care being planned for 2027.
This allows Tara to continue providing thoughtful, individualized care to her existing patients while welcoming new patients at a pace she has the capacity to properly support.
We also recognize that when someone is experiencing pain or struggling in their body, waiting may not be an option. We completely understand the need to seek another practitioner if you require more immediate care.
If you feel Tara’s approach may be the right fit for you and would like to begin care in 2027, we would be happy to hear from you.
How New Patients Begin
New patients begin with a thoughtfully reserved treatment series consisting of an initial assessment and treatment followed by three follow-up appointments.
Rather than opening individual new-patient appointments online, we work through Tara’s schedule to reserve a series of appointments so that your care has the opportunity to build from one treatment to the next.
If you would like to be considered for a new patient series, please email info@fascialconnections.ca with:
- Your full name
- Your phone number
- A brief description of what brings you to treatment
As treatment series become available, we will contact you personally with appointment options.
New patient appointments are not available to book online.
Where Do I Start?
Many people who come to Tara have been managing their symptoms for a long time.
Your body has adapted in ways that have helped you keep going—often for years.
At this point, you may be looking for something different. Something that goes beyond short appointments and symptom-based care.
Your initial appointment is intentionally longer. This gives Tara time to listen to your history, understand what you have been experiencing, assess how your body is organizing and adapting, and begin treatment within that first visit.
One of the greatest lessons Tara has learned through years of practice is that the body is always in conversation with us.
When we have the opportunity to meet consistently, we’re not asking it to begin again each visit—we’re simply continuing the conversation it has already begun.
Meaningful change often unfolds over time. It develops as the body is given the opportunity to respond, adapt and build upon each experience.
Creating space for treatments to build upon one another has become an important part of how Tara approaches new patient care.
Your First Appointment
Your initial appointment is two hours and includes both assessment and treatment.
This time allows Tara to learn about your history, what brings you to treatment, and the patterns your body may have developed over time without rushing immediately into hands-on work.
Treatment is rooted in the John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach™ and is guided by what your body presents and what you experience during the session.
You remain comfortably clothed in loose, moveable clothing. Treatment is hands-on and does not use oils or machines.
New Patient Rates
Initial Assessment & Treatment — 2 hours: $400

Beyond the Treatment Room
As Tara’s practice evolves, care is also beginning to extend beyond one-to-one treatment.
Tara is creating opportunities for existing patients to learn more about Myofascial Release, explore self-treatment and develop greater awareness of their own bodies.
These opportunities are intended to complement treatment and give patients tools they can use between appointments and as part of their everyday lives.
