Myofascial Release · Harrogate
Somatic fascia work for jaw and TMJ tension, nervous system regulation, facial release and chronic holding patterns. Based at Hiive, Harrogate.
Myofascial release works with the connective tissue network that runs throughout the body — the structure that carries tension, compression and the memory of old patterns. Through careful, unhurried touch, we invite the system to release what it no longer needs to hold.
The Return of Flow
For the heaviness that sleep doesn't fix. That low, flat weight tends to live in the places you hold the most — the jaw, the neck, the shoulders, the base of the skull. Slow, sustained fascial work through all of them, including the face and jaw. Nothing is forced. As the tissue softens, something often shifts — a breath that finally reaches the bottom, a lightness on the way out the door.

The Unheld Face
For the face you see in the mirror — the puffiness that won't drain, the jaw you catch clenching, the tension that lives in the forehead, temples and behind the eyes. This treatment works with the soft tissue of the face and gentle lymphatic drainage, easing puffiness and releasing the patterns that accumulate from years of expression, suppression and stress.
£80
Jaw Release
For those new to myofascial work, or carrying tension in the jaw, face, neck or voice — including TMJ discomfort and jaw pain. We work through the jaw, masseter, neck and related fascial lines. You'll leave feeling less held.
£75
Jaw & Cranial Release
Deep work through the jaw, cranial base and surrounding fascia. For TMJ tension, teeth clenching, bruxism, morning headaches, disturbed sleep, vocal strain and a nervous system that cannot switch off. Where needed, we also work through the upper back and ribs to release the full tension pattern. Ninety minutes because this work cannot be rushed.
£95
Full Body Return
Whole body fascial and somatic work for nervous system regulation. For those who feel exhausted, anxious or held in patterns of tension they cannot locate or release alone.
£75
The Deep Return
Myofascial release, lymphatic drainage and sculpting for the thighs, glutes and full fascial chain. Working from the ribs and pelvis down, this treatment softens restriction, restores fluid movement and changes the quality of the tissue from the inside out. This is not a beauty treatment. It is a body intelligence treatment.

I'm Tanya — an FHT Accredited Myofascial Release Specialist and Somatic Practitioner based in Harrogate. I work with the body's fascial system: the connective tissue network that holds tension, pain and pattern in ways that talking alone cannot always reach.
My background in Biology gave me a deep respect for the intelligence of the body. My training in myofascial release and somatic practice gave me the tools to work with it. Together they shape an approach that is unhurried, person-centred and genuinely curious.
I work with people living with jaw and TMJ tension, chronic pain, sleep disruption, anxiety and the sense that something in the body needs to be heard.

"I had a gentle golf session and I could twist to the right so much easier. There's no catching in my left side anymore — I'm still marvelling at how different it feels."
