Answering the most common questions:
-
We utilize gentle and effective modalities such as Bowenwork®, Myofascial Release (John Barnes method), and Restorative Exercise to release the source of tension and pain. Most therapies like massage and physical therapy don't provide the appropriate release of myofascia. They are either too hard or they don't give the soft tissues enough time to unwind all the way. Our combination of techniques work together to holistically heal and improve the over all function, mobility and health of your body. Most clients see significant improvement in 3-4 sessions.
-
Our bodies are wise and cannot be forced to heal. Many of my clients don't realize that their nervous systems are stressed and as a result, their body is stuck in a state of alarm or sympathetic reaction. That alarm causes soft tissues (myofascia) to contract and put pressure on underlying tissues (like nerves and joints) that cause pain. This is also common with trauma. After a traumatic experience, the body goes into a holding pattern to protect itself. To get the body out of that alarm state, it must get the message that "I am safe" in order to return back to a parasympathetic (healing) state. Just like we stated above, you cannot use force to accomplish this. It takes time, effective techniques, and the right environment for your body to finally let go.
-
Unhealed trauma shows up as repressed energy that interferes with your emotional, mental and physical well-being. Trauma symptoms lead to many things from chronic pain, dissociating, substance abuse, over-eating, auto-immune disorders, people-pleasing, anxiety, depression, and feeling inadequate and worthless. Trauma cannot be healed by talking about it. Nor can it be forced outa the body. And, it doesn't just go away. It can only be healed when you allow the body to feel safe enough to release it. Jessica has over 23 years experience as a Master Healer and she has helped 1000's of clients overcome trauma to find wholeness and healing. Don't wait another day. Set up an appointment to begin your healing journey.
“Jessica is a healer, plain and simple. I have tried many different types of healing methods before, but the healing work that she does is one of the best therapies I have ever encountered. She can help those who have lost hope in traditional healthcare therapies. She helps get people healthier without the need for medication. I have felt like a new person since I started her treatment and I cannot imagine trying to live healthy without her sessions. Everyone should experience the wonderful healing hands of Jessica.
