Licensed Massage Therapist & Yoga Teacher
Jessica began delving into the more holistic side of life with her first yoga class in 2004. She quickly fell in love with how the movement of yoga asana felt in her body.
After years of practicing, in 2010 Jessica found that yoga became a lifestyle, not just a workout. She was called to further her study through meditation practice, self-inquiry, yogic philosophies and other forms of bhakti yoga.
In 2011 Jessica began an apprenticeship under the guidance of Jayaprabha Mare and was granted her 200 hour teacher training certificate in 2013.
In 2013 Jessica decided she wanted to offer more to her yoga students. Wanting to expand her knowledge of the body and delve deeper into the holistic field she began to attend Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy. “I believe that my yoga practice helped me to develop my skills as a massage therapist. Yoga taught me how to intuitively work with the body and I bring that into every massage I give.” Her specialty is a therapeutic full body massage that is customized to target specific needs and issues of each client. Jessica weaves deep specific work along with long relaxing stokes in order to help the client achieve results in areas of concern but still leave feeling a sense of relaxation and connection to their bodies. Whether it be recovering from injury, maintaining healthy muscle tissue or simply just to relax, Jessica is able to customize a session to help her clients to achieve their goals
In 2022 Jessica took her first Abdominal Therapy training and completed the second course in 2024. Abdominal Therapy is now a huge part of Jessica’s work. “So much tension in the body comes from issues in the lower back and belly, but because no one likes to ‘go there’ we don’t even realize it.” Jessica believes that treating this area of the body is a huge missing component in most massage practices. She is willing to add abdominal therapy into sessions or treat it as a stand alone appointment, furthering her customization for each client while working to their comfort levels.
