In this episode, we speak with Anna Rahe, GST Body's Founder, CEO and educator. For the past 25+ years, Anna has delved deep into a liberating and empowering relationship with fascia so that as many people as possible can invest in their health, restore their vitality, and heal themselves with the proprietary tools she has created. As the founder, CEO and educator of GST Body, Anna has spoken about holistic body care through fascia around the world, partnered with top athletes, surgeons, physicians and celebrities, and been featured in various publications, from Shape to Elle, Net-a-Porter to The Wall Street Journal.
Anna shared her profound experiences with trauma, healing, and the pivotal moments that led her to explore the role of fascia in our overall health. She explained how her early struggles with psychological and physical issues prompted her to seek deeper understanding and healing methods. After years of therapy and self-discovery, Anna realized that her body was trying to communicate with her, and that the key to her healing lay in movement and the manipulation of fascia.
Throughout our conversation, Anna dove into the science of fascia, describing it as a vital connective tissue that organizes and supports our entire body system. She emphasized that fascia is not just a passive structure but an active participant in our physical and emotional well-being. With its unique properties, fascia responds to both physical and emotional loads, influencing our health in ways we often overlook.
