A FASCIAnating story: Healing through connection
Simone Fortier is a pioneer in brain-based healing and the founder of the Fascia Training Institute, where she has been training health professionals for over 30 years. Her groundbreaking work has helped elite athletes from the NFL, NHL, MLB, and Olympic teams — but it's not just her client list that sets her apart.
Simone is the creator of the Dynamic Brain Healing™ protocols and has completed six years of clinical trials on brain nutrition. Her system targets chronic pain, post-concussion symptoms, and the hidden trauma stored in fascia — delivering real results where traditional methods fall short.
She's also a best-selling author, international speaker, and healer— a rare and powerful fusion of science and intuition. Having personally recovered from multiple head injuries, Simone brings deep empathy and lived experience to her mission: helping those who've been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told to just "push through."
Simone is changing the conversation about what it truly means to heal — not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
