Sue Hitzmann has a way of meeting reality without flinching.

Her work found me early—before I had language for fascia. The director of the country club I was working at was trained in the MELT Method, and her tools were some of the first I encountered in the wild. Years later, when I met with David Weck to teach Fascia Flow within minutes, he said, “You need to introduce yourself to Sue.” That full circle moment stayed with me. What struck me most in this conversation wasn’t just her method—it was her presence. The way she could speak about something as heavy as losing her husband, and still carry lightness. Even laughter. Not avoidance. Integration. Sue has spent decades refining how we restore fascia through hydration, sensation, and precise input. But underneath that is something deeper: a woman who looks directly at what most people avoid, and keeps moving forward with clarity. This conversation is about resilience. About regulation. About choosing to stay open. If you’re doing this work for real—you’ll recognize her immediately.

We discussed:

- Defining Fascia and Its Role - Fascia as a Communication System - The Importance of Presence and Awareness - The Adrenaline of Business Ownership - Fascia and Electromagnetic Fields - Presence and Performance in Sports - Breath and the Autonomic Functions - Understanding Fascia and Emotional Health - The Importance of Movement and Collagen - Using Fascia Tools Effectively - Navigating Family Health Conversations - Awareness and Personal Choices - Connecting with Nature for Wellbeing - Breath Techniques for Healing - The Core Reflex and Breath Dynamics For those who prefer a visual experience, the conversation is available on YouTube. As always, the audio version streams wild and free on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. I sincerely hope you enjoyed our talk. Be mighty!

I spend a lot of time with my nose in books. But my favorite place to be is outside: tending to my bees, planting native trees, worm farming, experimenting with electroculture, saving dragonflies, composting, dancing, playing, being.

I sincerely hope your list is at least as long as mine.
