What is
Myofascial Energetic Release?
Myofascial Energetic Release, also known as MER, is a professional fascia-based bodywork method created by Satyarthi Peloquin.
MER combines deep and sensitive touch, fascia release, breath, movement, joint mobilization and body awareness. It works with the body as an interconnected whole, helping practitioners recognise and release chronic contraction patterns held in the fascia, muscles, skin, tendons, nerves and joints.
Many chronic pain patterns are connected with long-held tension in the body. MER teaches practitioners how to work with these patterns through precision, presence and sensitivity, supporting clients to reconnect with their body’s natural capacity for balance, movement and self-regulation.
This is not only a technical bodywork training. It is also a personal and professional journey that develops your quality of touch, your body awareness, your presence and your ability to support clients with clarity and confidence.
The MER Training is designed for people who want to develop a deeper, more effective and more embodied approach to bodywork.
It is especially suitable for:
Massage therapists who want to work more deeply with fascia and chronic pain patterns
Bodyworkers looking for a structured professional method
Somatic practitioners who want to integrate touch, movement and body awarenessYoga teachers and movement practitioners interested in the body’s deeper patterns
Breathworkers who want to understand the relationship between breath, fascia and release
Wellness professionals who want to expand their therapeutic skills
Beginners who feel called to start a professional path in bodywork
Whether you are already working with clients or beginning a new professional direction, MER gives you a clear, practical and deeply experiential training pathway.
