I’m Carolyn Hough, serving Melbourne, FL and Brevard County with Authentic Myofascial Release using the John F. Barnes approach. With 25+ years in holistic health, I start by listening, then work gently, never forcing so your fascia can unwind at its own pace. This patient, hands-on method targets long-held restrictions in the body’s connective tissue to ease pain, improve mobility, and support whole-body healing. My aim is simple: help you return to the activities, people, and places you love.
Who We Are
Carolyn Hough, Myofascial Release Therapy in Melbourne & Brevard County, FL
I graduated from the New York College of Health Professions in 2009, beginning my second career driven by a passion for healing and lifelong learning. In my first year, I worked in a doctor’s office helping pain patients, but I knew I wanted to deliver more than temporary results. After opening my own yoga studio and working with outstanding teachers, I discovered John F. Barnes’ Myofascial Release and everything shifted.
My journey led me from New York to Las Vegas for intensive Barnes seminars, where I gave and received MFR and witnessed life-changing results that other therapies could not achieve. I have continued to learn directly from John Barnes, earning “Expert” status in his method, and regularly receive advanced training at his centers in Sedona, AZ, and Malvern, PA.
Before becoming a therapist, I led an active life, competing with my horse, practicing martial arts, and overcoming injuries, surgeries, and even cancer. I understand firsthand what it feels like to battle pain and work your way back to a vibrant, active life.
