Welcome back to Fascia and Bones: Unpacking the Mystery. Some things I love—fascia and bones with a detective mystery. I am a practicing manual osteopath and structural integrator and love working with the connective tissue of the body and the holistic systems of the body. I am also a long-time educator in the field of bodywork and movement. My hope is to share some insights into the fields I practice.

In Season 2 Episode 1, I am interviewing Lauren Christman, MFA LMT CCST CBSI ATSI, who is a long-time practitioner and teacher in the field of bodywork in Seattle, Washington. Lauren and I share many parallels with a love of craniosacral, visceral, and structural integration through the lens of osteopathy. I particularly appreciate Lauren’s thoughtfulness in how she languages and speaks about the work we do. You can learn more about Lauren’s courses at craftedtouch.com. In this episode, we share a deep conversation beginning with Lauren’s foyer into touch work in hospice care centered around supporting folks with AIDS. Exploring the idea of “touch without violence”. Exploring teaching anatomy that speaks to relationship from an embryological lens with clarity without being reductive. Exploring the idea of the work we do as a “living body of work”.

Now for the interview with Lauren.
