You're stuck, not broken.
(And you're not alone).
Whatever the issue,
it's stored in your tissue.
Whatever stuckness you're navigating, it points to a pattern trapped in your body or emotions.
Whether it's a matter of mind, mood or mobility, it's all connected. Treating your "separate parts" as an integrated whole is the key to your healing.
If you are...
-
​​Longing to get unstuck from a chronic patterns or pain points
​
-
Curious about holistic wellness and the intersection of body, mind and spirit
​
-
Willing to bring awareness to your uncomfortable, default, shadowy parts
​​
-
Open to discovering what lies beneath your anxiety, anger, fear, chronic pain, indecision, overwhelm, masking, etc.
Begin your journey now.
We all want something more.
Most people who are drawn to
yoga therapy come for a combo of:
Confidence + Clarity
Strength + Mobility
Acceptance + Self Love
Pain Relief
Trauma Integration
Spirituality & Purpose
Emotional Healing
Identity + Expression
But knowing what you want isn't enough to get unstuck.
If only it were so simple.
In a healing paradigm focused on isolating parts, quick fixes and soothing symptoms, we all get stuck skimming the surface.
There's nothing wrong with gratitude practices, massages and anxiety meds.
But until you root out your body's unconscious physical and emotional patterns, you'll stay rooted in your old ways.
At its heart, yoga therapy is about awareness.
It is the work of diving below the surface, turning up the heat and stirring the compost so it can decompose.
Transformational change takes patience, curiosity and gentle fierceness –you must look within and do so with acceptance.
It's messy work, but from the fertile
soil you create, your innate wholeness cannot help but burst into new life again!
Yoga therapy can help with
Stuckness roots in the emotions we avoid feeling.
Yoga therapy acts at the interface between energy and embodiment.
In sessions together, we'll use the combined powers of:
Intentional Breathing
The work of breathing is a whole body act. When you shift the way you breathe you change long-held physical and postural patterns, work with your nervous system, boost your immune and heart health and invite more vitality.​
"Breath is the bridge that connects life to consciousness, which unites your body and your thoughts." - Thich Nhat Hanh
Autonomic Nervous System Mapping
Befriending your autonomic nervous system is key to unlocking your own vitality and resilience. By understanding how you are activated or frozen by various situations, stressors and emotions, you can change your physical and emotional well-being.
"When we are in a defensive state, then we are using metabolic resources to defend. It’s not merely that we can’t be creative or loving when we’re scared; we can’t heal.” - Stephen Porges
Somatic Trauma Integration
Bodies hold memory, even when the mind has forgotten. Trauma often becomes trapped in the body's sensations and muscular tension. Through mindfully exploring and working with these physical sensations, we can release the stored trauma, allowing the body to complete its natural healing process.
“Once you start approaching your body with curiosity, rather than fear, everything shifts.” - Bessel Van Der Kolk
Altered States of Consciousness
Using different brain wave states through breath, yoga nidra, guided meditation and yoga nidra svadhyaya (somatic exploration) allows us to bypass our default modes and patterns to work with our subconscious core beliefs, unhelpful behavioral and thought patterns and body-held trauma.
"The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear." - Rumi
Ayurvedic Wisdom
Yoga therapy engages Ayurveda (the ancient healing science from India) to help you create daily rhythms and routines that are tuned to your individual constitution and the seasonal cycles. These small changes in lifestyle support sleep, digestion and vitality.
“As long as we are not living in harmony with nature and our constitution, we cannot expect ourselves to be really healed. Ayurveda gives us the means.” - David Frawley
Imagine a space that:
-
Meets you where you’re at
-
Greets you with acceptance
-
Creates a foundation of safety
-
Offers pathway of awareness and alchemy
-
Interrupts unconscious embodied patterns
-
Awakens your power and potential
When was the last time...
You intentionally held space for the emotions that tend to blindside and overwhelm you?
Or felt into places of disconnection while someone reflects your wholeness back to you?
Or became viscerally aware of your unconscious movement and postural patterns?
"There aren't many places where I can be fully met where I am. It is a relief to have that."​
"I'm surprised by how much I've begun to rely on my Yoga Therapy sessions."​
"I like how adaptive and personalized it is."​
"The worst part of Yoga Therapy is that I can't afford to do it 3 times per week."​
"You provide a safe place for many needs that don't often get met in daily life."​
What it's doing for others:
Hi, I'm Jessa!
I've been a yogi since birth. My mother (and first yoga teacher) jokes that my yoga practice began in the womb!
I relied on yoga as "therapy" (having trained as an instructor for over 1,900 hours) but my biggest personal growth breakthroughs didn't come until I began working with my unconscious patterns.
This is where my certifications in yoga therapy and somatic/trauma healing come in... and it's a personalized
blend of them both that I now
explore with clients like you!
