Kelly began pursuing education in health and wellness as an undergrad at James Madison University, earning a B.S. Physical Education/ Coaching in 1987. A concentration in biomechanic structure and function has resulted in two additional degrees- becoming a Licensed Massage Therapist in 2003, and Physical Therapist Assistant , A.A.S. in 2009.
This educational background has resulted in a variety of career opportunities over the years, ranging from classroom education to providing physical therapy for both outpatient and in-house populations. Her career is driven by the desire to assist people of all ages to achieve optimal function for their best quality of life. One of her greatest areas of contribution has been providing manual therapy to clients, honing a variety of techniques to provide relief to clients with chronic pain.
In May of 2021 Kelly learned of Fascial Counterstrain technique, personally experiencing the modality for an area of injury. The impact from that single session resulted in the pursuit to become an FCS provider as a primary method to address health concerns.
Kelly remains committed to continued education in all areas of wellness, and welcomes the opportunity to partner with you in reaching your best health.

Fauzia Asad graduated from University of Maryland at Baltimore with her degree in physical therapy in 1993. Always seeking better outcomes for her patients, she had the opportunity to take many continuing education classes in different manual therapy techniques. She was introduced to Strain Counterstrain through the Jones Institute when Dr Lawrence Jones (founder of the technique) was teaching. After completing all strain counterstrain classes offered, this technique became the foundation for her interventions with patients. When she learned of an extension of this technique that could address fascial restrictions with a multi system approach, she recognized its importance and has since attended many classes. She incorporates this powerful technique into her treatment of a wide variety of patients and has found profound, long lasting results. She is also a certified lymphedema therapist and has found Fascial Counterstrain to be an invaluable tool in addressing lymphedema and lipidema in a population that is often underserved.

She dedicated to counterstrain and is currently attending about a class every couple of months to learn as much as possible and integrate it into combined sessions of counterstrain and massage as well as standalone sessions of counterstrain.
” I love this work. It is a joy to work with my hands listening to what you need and listening to the fascia shifting and relaxing in your body. I am committed to providing to you the experience of relaxing deeply into receiving, returning to yourself and letting go” -Celeste

I spent my childhood in Uganda before going off to boarding school in England. At Giggleswick School I discovered a passion for rugby and fly-fishing and left with ambitions of becoming a professional fishing guide. But for a fortuitous meeting with a brilliant Osteopath in Oxford, David Ruddick, who helped me overcome a severe concussion my Osteopathic career might never have even started. I was amazed at how he was able to get rid of my neck pain, the headaches and sinus problems that had plagued me for years. I was inspired to become an Osteopath. After applying to several schools I found the European School of Osteopathy (ESO) best suited me. I was so fortunate at the time to be taught by some of the worlds’ best Osteopaths, Including Professor Peter Blagrave, Tom Dummer, Peter Armitage, Jitendra Vara and Susan Turner.
The course was incredibly difficult with an enormous amount of information to learnt and physical skills to develop. I loved it and was fascinated by a whole system of medicine evolving in front of me. Osteopathy, whilst best known for treating acute and chronic spinal pain, also was equally applicable in treating newborn babies, pregnant women, enhancing performance in elite athletes, supporting the sick and and those recovering from surgery. In my final year of university I found that I had a particular talent for treating babies and young children and I was encouraged to develop my paediatric skills. My patient list soon became full with babies, children and their families. I still loved being able to treat anyone in the family.

After graduating in 1993 I went back home to Yorkshire and became an associate to Mark Wilcox in Wakefield. Here I was able to really develop as an osteopath treating literally anyone who walked in, it was a true baptism of fire. “Yorkshire is an amazing test bed of your skills because you have to get results quickly there or you’ll starve”. The babies still played a huge part of my life and I started volunteering at the Osteopathic Centre for Children (OCC) in London under the guidance of Susan Turner and Peter Armitage, spending many happy hours further refining my Paediatric and Cranial Osteopathy skills. I continued to attend advanced training courses in Cranial Osteopathy and other gentle approaches and was lucky to be taught by many brilliant practitioners, especially Chris Smith, Dr Alena Kobesova and Professor Pavel Kolar of the Prague School of Manual Medicine and Rehabilitation. More recently I have been studying the new breakthrough approach of Fascial Counterstrain with its developer Brian Tuckey.
In 1995 I was ready to “go it alone” and opened my own practice in York. In the years that followed I developed a family Osteopathic practice that gained the respect of the local medical community, with Health Visitors and Midwives being particularly supportive of my work with babies and pregnant mums. I my last year in York before moving to Australia I was given consulting rights at the York Nuffield Hospital, one of a handful of “consultant” Osteopaths in the country.
The call came to move my family to Queensland in 2010 and I set up practice in Buderim on the Sunshine Coast. My focus is still very much on helping all members of the family in as gentle and effective way that my 32 years experience allows.
When not treating patients you can find me gardening or paddling my kayak.
