Take control of your health

ATTENTION!

Live and in-person Block Therapy classes with The Holistic Treehouse are currently on hiatus! I am serving a full-time mission for my church for 18 months. I will miss this practice, but look forward to reconnecting when I return.

In the meantime, please still support your fascia by getting started with Block Therapy from the comfort of your own home! The Block and its practice is built to easily fit into your routine, helping you feel and do your best every day.

Welcome to the Holistic Treehouse!

I’m here to help you reconnect with the healthier you.

I’m Leah Skousen. In a search for a holistic solution to scoliosis, I stumbled upon a therapy that provided a doorway not only out of my back pain, but so much more. I am a Certified Instructor of Block Therapy™, a combination exercise, meditation, and therapy that releases compression at the cellular level, combining the power of the breath and the fascia-melting capabilities of our simple yet beautifully crafted tool.

How does Block Therapy work?

The Tool

Our custom tool, the Block Buddy, is made of raw bamboo or cedar and specially designed to move gently but deeply into the fascia. Simply laying on the block in different positions applies the pressure that releases restrictions and creates space for optimal flow to cells.

Find where your cells are stuck

With Block Therapy, we teach that pain is the language of our cells calling out for our attention. You’ll learn how to follow your “path of pain” to find the adhesions holding you out of alignment. Then, accessing your diaphragmatic breath heats the area from the inside out, melting those adhesions and feeding the cells that have been blocked from life for so long.

Maintain Space

Gravity works constantly on us, and if we are not careful, we collapse into our most compressed areas. Understanding how to use your body properly on a moment-to-moment basis to strengthen the correct foundation is crucial to maintaining proper cellular alignment. We learn how to implement healthful posture and good habits will ensure the changes we make stay with us!

Feel the Changes!

The amazing deep work that the therapy provides is such that the changes are noticeable immediately after each position and each class. Akin to walking out of a massage, the feeling of release and restored range of motion indicates that your cells thank you for your care!

“Can Block Therapy Help Me?”

Block Therapy is a holistic practice, which means it addresses the whole body and elevates your health and ability to a new level. So, yes, I guarantee it can help you! For chronic pain, for example, it serves to release the adhesions that are holding the body out of alignment and relieve the cells that have been working too hard too long.

Another example is weight loss and detoxification, which are also aided and accelerated with this practice. When the fascia binds and compresses, our systems that serve to detoxify our body are compromised. Relieving these systems as well as activating the diaphragmatic breath (the exhale contributes to 80% of all weight loss) combine to relieve our body of backed-up junk.

Personally, I started my journey with back pain at age 14 from scoliosis, which has progressively released as I learned how to better use my body in a healthful way. I can even sit up straight for hours, without feeling the need to slouch! Try a class out for yourself, and you will see what wonderful possibilities this practice could open up for you.
