Alicia Fajardo is the owner of Transformations
Studio in Portland, Oregon and creator of The Fajardo
Method of Holistic Biomechanics®. This modality focuses on nervous
system health and biomechanics, which include body structure,
alignment, and healthy, supported movement.
Because biomechanics are dictated by the nervous system state,
understanding basic nervous system function and how the nervous
system responds to stress is necessary for understanding the
modality.
