Somatic Massage & Bodywork By Jess

If I’m being honest, life has been really kicking my ass lately.
Excuse my spicy language.. but it is. 🤪

I found mold; was technically ‘homeless’ for awhile. I was dealing with a lot from the old space 🤦🏼‍♀️
Found a new space & planned a whole expansion & got played by them.
It left my income & expansion at risk & full of uncertainty.
One of the worst kinds of car issues you can have.. took my vehicle out of commission for who knows how long with a $5000 bill attached to it.

I’m grateful to have a backup to use, I’m grateful for a space to set up and work in. I’m grateful for my health and the health of my children. I am thankful for being able to handle all of life’s obstacles.

But My point is.. life is life’in right about now.
. My love language is acts of service & gifts.
& I need a little dopamine boost.

Soooo.
Here’s my gift to you.

$70 60m • $110 90m • $180 2hr

It’s for you..
but it’s also very much for me too.
I need a pick me up & acts of service is always the best way for me. 🩶

Alrighty guys. I guess it’s time to break the bad news!

I was unfortunately taken advantage of with this new lease… (At least they tried 🙃)

It’s been in the works for weeks, we had an agreed price, remodel approval, utilities included, and I was supposed to go sign a 4 year lease TODAY.

I got a text yesterday that changed everything.

I’ve spent so much time, money, & energy on this place. I even re-keyed the door.
I’ve built an amazing space, layout, modalities & all around wellness space for my clients to come and heal, and start to enjoy life again.

And unfortunately, they tried to pull one over on me.

They waited until the very last moment, and tried to change the agreement & sent a 1yr lease instead of 4.
Attempting to force my hand into a very sketchy deal.

As you all probably know, I pay attention to fine detail.
I noticed something was off, investigated the situation, and ultimately decided against signing another shady lease again.

SO Where does that leave Somatic Massage & Bodywork…
Unfortunately, I just don’t know yet.
But do not fear, I WILL have a home for us by next week.

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up, the address may be unknown today, but it will not be for long.
The universe has always had my back, so when this fell through I was undoubtedly heart broken. But I know wholeheartedly it’s for the best.

I tour 4 different spaces tomorrow.. and I will keep you posted on the new address the moment I know for sure. 🩶🩶🩶

As for rescheduling appointments, I am convinced we will have a home, & moved in by Monday.
If that changed I will contact clients directly to change their appointments as necessary.
But please do not worry, if you know me, you know I will have it handled by then. 😁

Only two days left… 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼

Who’s ready to see the new space!

I often hear Why massage?
It’s expensive, it doesn’t work for me. I never feel relief more than a few days.. & so on and so on.

You’ll get referred to PT, then a surgeon, do every stretch in the book. Maybe you’re to a point of extreme surgical corrective measures!
& the pain never fully goes away.

But here’s the thing: IT CAN.
Your ‘arthritis’ can be corrected. Arthritis is an over used term that just means inflammation or damage to the joint. That CAN be undone.
Your bone on bone.. doesn’t have to be bone on bone.. your slipped disc CAN go back into the spine correctly..
Your body is not a lost cause.
These are not life sentences alone. You’re not destined to be in pain forever.

You CAN come back from almost anything.
There are some exceptions of course. But In my decade of hands on experience with thousands of body’s on the table.
You are not a lost cause.

Nothing has worked before because you’re correcting in the wrong place!

➡️ The true source is nowhere near the paint point.

I access the body differently.
I pain map your body specifically.
Find the SOURCE of problem. & then we treat there.

If a muscle keeps “tightening up” no matter how much you stretch, release, or strengthen it… the pain isn’t going to leave for long.
It’s going to come back sometimes with a vengeance.

It’s our body’s innate desire for self preservation.

Your body WILL NOT allow you to keep doing something that is hurting it.
Your pain point is never the actual problem.
It is A problem, but not the problem you need fixing.

It’s a response!
A signal!
A protection pattern!
It’s your body’s way of attempting self preservation.

The thing is.. it is unconscious.
It’s an unrecognizable shift in weight distribution, gait, or postural change.

Youll never even know it’s happening..

Why does pain mapping work?
. I assess the entire organism- viscera, central nervous system, and peripheral neurovascular system to understand how those systems influence musculoskeletal tissues and movement. & then we adjust.

You feel the pain here, but really this issue is coming from way over there..
I don’t just rub a painful muscle until it loosens up.
I start with mapping. I follow the pattern down to the core of the issue.

This also helps you identify underlying causes. A slight shift that can cause an overcorrection within. Something you have no clue is altering the entire body’s systems.

Why do it this way?
So you don’t have to just keep treating symptoms on repeat. Living with the return of pain. Living a subpar lifestyle because you’re constantly suffering.

Now we know how to adjust accurately, the body can stop this vicious cycle.
Stop the unconscious self correction.
Once you know what to do differently, your body can stop overcorrecting.

When your practitioner knows how to assess differently, treatment becomes precise.

And the body doesn’t have to keep yelling for help in the same spot.
With a never ending pain cycle.

Pain -> subconscious correction-> overwhelmed muscle & connective tissue-> limited MOVEMENT -> Subconscious correction -> pain.
Repeat.

I disrupt that cycle. I intervene.
I help you learn how to self correct CONSCIOUSLY.
To help relieve your pain, stress, anxiety, & a million other things.

So you can get back to living a much fuller life.

That is what I do. That is what Somatic Massage is all about. Let me find what’s REALLY going on. So you don’t have to live like this anymore.
