About Us

Hi, I'm Darlene, founder of Bergener Health! Clients seek out our services to help reduce the root causes of pain and dysfunction, manage stress, and increase energy with myofascial release therapy (MFR). 

If you aren’t familiar with it, MFR is a targeted form of bodywork to release restrictions in your connective tissue, or fascia.


Those restrictions can put up to 2000psi pressure on your system, and thus:

- press on nerves causing pain

- constrict organs affecting function

- restrict muscles affecting strength and

- manifest as stiffness or reduced range of motion.

 

When you free the body, releasing those restrictions on your system, you can finally experience incredible improvement in:

- Energy and strength

- Headaches and migraines

- Fibromyalgia pain

- Back and neck p...

Client Testimonials

Here's what our clients are saying

  • Safe and comfortable environment that helped me with pain and the psychological effects of physical pain.

    Great experience.

  • Excellent care and professional. The mfr massage has made a significant improvement to my health.

    Absolutely! Already have!

  • Maria is so caring and helpful. I always leave feeling so much better.

    Highly recommend.

  • I am a massage therapist myself, and have an old injury that I have been trying to resolve. I can honestly say that Darlene is one of the best massage therapists I have encountered in almost 15 years in the field! Go see her, you won't be disappointed

    Very relaxing. Tension melted away.

  • I went to Darlene the other day for my initial Myofascial Release Therapy session and I left feeling great! Darlene took the time to listen to me describe my specific symptoms and then came up with a treatment plan to address the issues. She knew exactly what she was doing and clearly explained everything to me as she did it. I have another appointment already scheduled with her.

    Darlene created a very warm and welcoming presence and made me feel comfortable. She did great at addressing my needs and made my body feel very relaxed and worked out the tension. MFR is definitely a different type of massage than what I'm used to, but it felt really nice and I would highly recommend!

I contacted Maria due to continuous neck and muscle pain. Thanks to her help, i am pain free and my range of movement is back to normal. Her methods are very helpful not just for immediate issues, but for preventing future ones. I am very thankful for her professional help and her caring personality.

Darlene is such a skilled practitioner and all around lovely person! She was successful in helping relieve pain behind my shoulder blade that has been nagging me for years. I had never had MFR therapy before, but had attended both pregnancy yoga and yoga for moms with Darlene, both of which were great. My back feels better than ever, and I can't wait for my next session!

I cannot recommend Darlene's prenatal myofascial release massage more highly. It's a definite different experience than a traditional massage, but I left with an increased feeling of movement and freedom in my body. I felt both immediate relief while she was working, and continued to feel a release in those tight spaces over the next two days. I felt so good after and could tell it was incredibly helpful that I immediately scheduled 3 more sessions with her! Highly highly recommend! Also, the space is welcoming and warm, Darlene's energy is calming and confident! Overall, cannot say enough good things!

The ultimate healing experience. I’ve been suffering from swollen and stiff Achilles’ tendons for about six months. After regularly visiting a PT twice a week for about 2 months, I saw very little improvement. After only one visit to Bergener Health, I was healed! I also frequent massage parlors and spas, but Darlene’s treatments supersedes them all. I cannot wait to return for my next appointment!
