Jess pulls from 25 years of experience and study in many modalities that facilitate one's "center" or "self" to shine at it's clearest and brightest.
At the core of it all, Jess uses the healing power of listening - in it's many forms - to hold a space for your unfolding journey.
Jess has studied with the Upledger Institute (Craniosacral therapy), Energy Intuitives, Possibililty Management (emotional, relational and mental re-wiring), Hand in Hand Parenting (this magical body of work goes WAY beyond basic parenting techniques!), Mindfulness, Yoga, Ayurveda, Herbal Medicine, and so much more.
CranioSacral Therapy is beneficial for general well-being and relaxation, or for a specific issue such as headaches, healing from injury or surgery, vertigo, anxiety, depression and more. It can useful as a general "tune-up" when you feel things are "off" or for grappling with a deeply rooted struggle that could use the collaboration of mind, body, energy and spirit.
Get in touch for a FREE 30 minute consultation call to see if we're a good fit! We can then mix and match modalities to weave together a blanket of support for you. :)

Befriend your Nervous System
Befriend your Nervous System
An 8 week class series to provide tools, exercises and knowledge to reduce anxiety and the effects of stress
Dive into fall, winter and the holiday season PREPARED!
Humans are no longer HELD in the nurturing ancient traditions that maintain long term health. The basics of how and when we sleep and eat and drink; the up and down "wave" of the nervous system; the way we manage our active minds; the stimulation we take in - it all takes it's toll.
And it's a slow ACCUMULATION, which means pinpointing one cause is ellusive. In the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda (sister science to yoga), this energy that is accumulating is referred to as "VATA" - wind energy. And it increases in the fall and winter. It is all things dry, chaotic, sense-stimulating, quick, light/ethereal/technology, mobile and cold. Basically our western culture experience. :)
We don't have to let it take us for a ride though!! Join us to learn and practice simple, concrete, and nourishing tools and lifestyle habits that balance each of these qualities, settles the nervous system and maintains your long term health goals.
Explore what is meant by "nervous system regulation" and "feel your feelings"
Movement, breath, meditation and insights - a little like yoga, and some.
Real healing of "stuck spots" through guided intuitive movement. Learn to FEEL and allow your body to release tensions (emotional, physical, energetic) the way that only your inner wisdom knows how to do.
Experience immediate relief through shifting attention into the body, AND built up long-term well-being through shifting habits that regularly unsettle the nervous system, using the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda

When we can tune into the details and the sensations of our children while they navigate the world and allow ourselves to really see and hear WHO that child is, in this moment, we may notice a shift in how we perceive all of life, and maybe find it's all a little easier to enjoy at the same time.

Much of our western culture can be a bit overwhelming to those of us who are "sensitive". But did you know that within the "ailment", lies a "cure"?
As an incredibly sensitive human myself, I've been studying this concept in adults and children and from many different lenses, and I've come to love and honor the deep awareness and ACCESS we have to our inner world, thanks to our sensitivity. More...
Yoga and mindfulness are an invitation into your center. At our center, we can know peace and joy naturally. At their center, all children are beautiful, KIND, love to share and have a really good sense of right and wrong. They are so much more aware and capable, right from birth, than our society ever gives them credit for. And they live closer to their center naturally. They are the brightest of lights just because they are so fresh. More...

What's in a name? A Peaceful Heart is a heart that is seen and heard fully, so it does not have to get louder to be acknowledged. We can listen to our own hearts, those around us, and the hearts of our children with presence, stillness, respect and love. When we can be witnessed, heard and seen from a place of stillness and compassion in the listener, we release the tension that blocks our most vibrant expression of who we are. When we choose to feel and be with all that we are, whether it's pretty or not, and stay with that deepest sensation rather fling it out to the world, or to numb it, that's when we can find peace, right there in the present moment. "
"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." ~ Rumi
Peaceful Heart is an LLC, yet we operate as a not for profit entity. Any income beyond operating expenses goes toward the improvement of our programming, into our scholarship fund or is donated to a local charity doing work related to ours. Currently we are donating monthly to the YWCA to support their mission of "eliminating racism and empowering women".
