Sean hails from the Akron/Cleveland area and received his B.A. in Biology at Cedarville University. During his time there, he fell in love with this area and set roots in Xenia after finishing undergrad. Prior to completing his doctoral degree in physical therapy at the University of Findlay, Sean spent two years working in Xenia, while also being heavily involved in his church and local community with youth programs. Upon finishing his DPT degree, Sean returned to Xenia. He has been working as a physical therapist since 2019 and utilizing counterstrain techniques since 2023, helping people with a variety of diagnoses and conditions.

Sean’s patient caseload has involved people with acute and chronic conditions.

When he isn’t at work, you may find him spending time with his wife, playing with his three young kids, helping at church, woodworking, playing board games with friends, or relaxing in his hammock.

Gabriel’s background since 2003 is in neuromuscular therapies and sports medicine working with a network of physicians, physiatrists, physical therapists, and chiropractors as part of a patient-centric team in the DC area.

He encountered Fascial Counterstrain in 2019 and immediately started the coursework after witnessing its power to not only address the root causes of pain and dysfunction, but also to change lives; a close friend resolved post-concussion symptoms and his wife had significant migraine relief.

In 2023 he took a therapist position at Horizons Therapy in Waynesboro, VA under the mentorship of Christine Wood, DPT, instructor and one of the most skilled and experienced Fascial Counterstrain therapists in the country. After several years of training and working with patients using Counterstrain as the primary modality, Gabriel brings his broad experience, this transformative technique, and a deeply caring spirit to the community of West Chester.

Obtaining my massage therapy licensure in 2018 opened the door to pursue Fascial Counterstrain, for which I will always be tremendously grateful. Counterstrain has improved my life tremendously and allowed me to live pain-free after living with lumbar herniated-disc pain since 1992. No other modalities came close to achieving the freedom and mobility I have from Counterstrain. Although “mastery” may take me the rest of my life, I gratefully engage that process, help anyone I can, and make referrals to my more advanced cohort when necessary! May I support your healing journey!

Dr. Jennifer Williamson, ND, RH(AHG) She/Her, is fat, neurodiverse and disabled. In 2009, she graduated from the Sonoran University of Health Sciences (formerly Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine and Health Sciences). After Naturopathic Medical School, she worked in Buffalo, New York for a few years both seeing clients and teaching as adjunct faculty at Daemen University’s Complementary and Alternative Therapies program. In 2012, she moved to Vermont to join Avalon Natural Medicine, which she purchased and has been running since 2017.

Along the way, Dr. Jen found Fascial Counterstrain first through treatment from other practitioners who were able to resolve or drastically improve ailments that were decades-long. Finally, after having a treatment on her brain by the founder of Fascial Counterstrain, Brian Tuckey, she realized that she needed to bring this brilliant technique to her quiet little corner of Vermont by learning it herself. In 2024, Dr. Jen started her training and is very motivated to finish the entire course load over the next few years.
