ANTOMYSCAPES COMPANY INFO

AnatomySCAPES dissection lab experiences are made for bodyworkers. All licensed, hands-on health professionals are welcome! We take you into a 3D experience of the human body helping you understand the fascial system from the inside out. In our state-of-the-art dissection lab, we guide you through the layers so you can SEE for yourself what fascia LOOKS like, what it FEELS like and how it RELATES to its surroundings. Then we amp up your learning with hands on demos, 3D model making, movement, discussion and visually stunning slide presentations.

In a word, it's a blast! And it’s just for you. 

Improve your touch. Up your confidence. Take your bodywork skills next level. Visit AnatomySCAPES.com to find out more.

Rachelle Clauson, BS, BCTMB, is a nationally board-certified massage therapist, educator and author. Rachelle served as a dissector and director for the Fascial Net Plastination Project (2018-2022) during which she co-founded AnatomySCAPES to better inform bodyworkers about fascia. She teaches internationally about the fascial system’s structural organization, function, and beauty through original tissue images, art and hands-on model making. She co-authors the Anatomy for Touch column in Massage & Bodywork magazine, and is a guest co-presenter for the ABMP Podcast. She is a contributing author for Fascia, Function, and Medical Applications (CRC Press, 2021, 2025), and the Myofascial System in Form and Movement (Handspring Publishing, 2022).

Nicole Trombley, MA, CMT,  is a massage therapist, owner of Equilibrio Massage, contributing author for Massage & Bodywork magazine, and co-founder of AnatomySCAPES. Nicole became an NCBTMB-certified massage therapist in 2004 after a decade serving at the national level in the nonprofit sector. Building on her background in the sciences, she was part of one of the first Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) projects geared toward getting more women and girls involved in the sciences. When she’s not at the massage table, you might find her deep down a rabbit hole in research databases or in the stacks at her local university library.
