ABOUT THE FACILITATOR:

JAN TREWARTHA B.A.(Hons.)
Jan is the founder and director of the British Fascia Symposium and The Fascia Hub. She has been in healthcare since 1979, originally training as a State Registered Nurse in the Queen Alexandra Royal Army Nursing Corps (QARANC), working with patients on the wards and in the operating theatre; a superb if non-deliberate foundation for her future career. In 1988, being trained by a blind massage therapist to really ‘feel’ the body under the hands led to a lifetime passion for bodywork. Her work now is the culmination of many years of training and experience in different disciplines. Through her school, Body in Harmony Training, Jan runs a variety of light touch therapy courses, including Sharon Wheeler’s ScarWork, scars and adhesions having become her specialism. Jan is co-editor and lead author of Scars, Adhesions and the Biotensegral Body, published May 2020 by Handspring Publishing.

Jan is also Founder and Director of The Fascia Hub designed to bring top level information to the fascia community.

There are still places for the workshop available and we have a request for a volunteer:

We need someone with a prominent scar who would like to be worked on for Jan’s demonstration, who has not had any Sharon Wheeler’s ScarWork before – ideally who hasn’t had any type of scar therapy before. If you think you’d like to volunteer please do get in touch. Thank you!
