❁ 116 TRAUMA-INFORMED TRAINEES ❁ 189 SELF-PACED STUDENTS ❁ HUNDREDS OF SOMATIC CLIENTS

I’VE TALKED MYSELF IN CIRCLES AND I’VE DONE ALL OF THE THERAPY.

Gather your brave and try a more somatic approach.

NO MATTER HOW MUCH I TELL MY BRAIN I’M SAFE, MY NERVOUS SYSTEM STILL FEELS NERVOUS.

The Safe & Sound Protocol is a gentle pathway to a less nervous nervous system.

Hi, I’m Jess (she/they), LMT, SSP! I’m a bodyworker, Somatic Experiencing practitioner, Safe & Sound Protocol facilitator, and teacher. I adore holding space for students, clients and the stories their bodies and nervous systems are telling.

Most healing spaces aren’t trauma-informed, but I strongly believe they should be. My approach is trauma-informed, which is also anti-oppressive, somatic, nervous system centered and non-dogmatic. I strive to be a nourishing place for folks who haven’t felt at home in the healing world to land, heal and learn.

From my advanced trauma-informed, somatic trainings to my time on sofas and massage tables as a client with a lot of “stuff” and an out-of-this-world talent for dissociation, I’m here to support you with compassion, goofy humor and nervous system nerdiness & nourishment.

Trauma-informed care is anti-oppressive.

Body based healing is for all bodies.

Guru mentalities are out, empowered clients are in.

In this world, healing is hard and healing is possible.

  • “I have been a facilitator for years but it wasn’t until recently that I realized some of the terminology and the ways I was approaching things were getting under my own skin. If my job is to provide a safe and supportive space for others I knew I had to educate myself. I was absolutely dumbfounded at how simple and transformative the practices within the program were.”

    Sara, Breathworker & Trauma Informed Student

  • "The SSP experience has been tender and open; a gentle space to land each week and spend intentional time tending to my nervous system. I relax and my breath deepens as I arrive into this unique space with an open invitation to find the experience I need that day with the music and the group, but no expectation to do so in a specific way."

    SSP Client

  • "My session with Jess was such a beautiful catalyst to further healing within myself: she gently supported me in realizing that part of being a trauma-informed massage therapist is creating the conditions where I, too, can feel safer and more present. This was just one of several lightbulb moments in our consultation, which really helped me get clarity on how I want to grow in my trauma-informed practices."

    Mel Meder, Massage Therapist

  • “Part of what I loved about the SSP was Jess’s invitation to show up exactly as we were. Just before SSP began, I experienced some trauma in a group setting and felt hesitant about the group dynamic of this process. I was able to show up completely nonverbal and in tears the first day, and felt warmth and welcomed in this experience."

    SSP Client, 1 of 2

  • "As the weeks progressed, I was able to connect outward more to other members of the group as my nervous system allowed, and even initiated conversations and cracked some jokes! The SSP was healing on multiple levels for me, and this group dynamic was just one slice of the pie.”

    SSP Client, 2/2

  • “I've already noticed that the way that I'm speaking with and writing to clients is indeed starting to shift for the better. And I feel good knowing that I have a solid toolkit for this work that I can continue to use as I grow my practice.”

    Olivia LaBarre, Animal Communicator & Reiki Practitioner

  • “The guide is beautifully presented, easy to follow and has helped me personally and in my role as a youth worker. It has helped me to recognize thoughts and feelings on a much deeper level.”

    Amanda T. on the Spiritual Bypassing Guide, It’s Not All Good

  • “It has helped me to gain a deeper understanding of spiritual bypassing and how to hold a safer container of space for others in my work.”
