Lennon Boardman is a healing facilitator who lives on the Central Coast of California. His unique style of work marries messages from spirit, energy work, and myofascial release techniques to alleviate long-term pain and other chronic conditions.
Lennon did not come upon this vocation easily. He first reluctantly heard the “voice” of his spirit teacher in the early eighties while living in Santa Barbara, California. Having no experience with spirit, he initially did not know what to think of these messages and thought he was going crazy. Psychiatrists prescribed antidepressants. Spirit, however, told him to “Go into the woods and come out a healer.” He dutifully went into the woods where he lived on the side of a mountain for a month listening to messages and was amazed by the experience. It proved to him that something he did not know anything about – the world of energy and spirit – really existed.
Not knowing just what to do with the ongoing messages he was receiving, he attempted to drown out the voices in his head by whatever means he could. This included downhill mountain bike racing. His running away came to an abrupt halt when a serious mountain bike accident left him unable to walk more than 100 feet at a time. Western medicine had no answer for him and despite trying many modes of alternative therapies, he was unable to affect major change in his leg. During this time Lennon had begun to study body work, ultimately receiving his massage training at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California.
The big break in his personal healing – and another major learning opportunity - came when he visited a medical intuitive who recommended myofascial release therapy. She correctly said that the fascial tissue, which had been trying to immobilize his leg so that it could heal, had inadvertently cut off most of the blood flowing through the femoral artery to his leg. The release of this fascia allowed him to walk again after two sessions.
Intrigued by his amazing results, Lennon enrolled in a class on the myofascial release process, where he learned to recognize the patterns of shortened fascia and the symptoms it can cause. After observing Lennon intuitively release a frozen shoulder in one move, the teacher encouraged him to develop his own release technique. Lennon's unique approach was derived move by move from his spirit teacher over the next couple of years.
He has been practicing and teaching this technique on the Central Coast of California for many years. He believes that at least 30% of the symptoms for which people are either pain medicated or operated upon, are merely the result of the side effects of fascial tightening as it acts as an internal splinting system trying to help with either physical or emotional trauma.
Lennon teaches these simple low force plus energy techniques to body workers and physical therapists, as well as those with no experience, as he finds that the latter often become the best students. Having seen the great success of his own, as well as his students’ work, Lennon believes his life mission is to teach this technique to as many people as possible.
