A magical journey. I slowly felt my spirit/soul/energy rise above my body. Our journey began. I couldn't tell what was mine, what was Julie's and what belonged to the musician. A harmonious dance with life's triumphs and tragedies. I felt how delicate our spirits' are. I felt how rich and big the universe is. Like a web, intertwined, I felt the beauty on our souls meeting on common ground. LOVE. Love is all that we deeply hope for, want and need. It is what creates our life and then asks us what we are living for? It opens our eyes and then makes us long to close them. In that moment I felt how small we were. Tiny-little-delicate people, I pondered why I chose this life because I felt so free without my body. Then slowly I felt the music and I felt Julie's small hand on my abdomen and under my neck. I felt safe with her, like I'd let here hold me because she/s looked at death the same way I have. Not quite sure which world she belongs to. My body came alive. I felt the vibrations permeate my body. I felt my heart tremble. I felt my skin, my bones, my breath, my human form. WOW! I suddenly felt my whole body. I explored it with my hands. I wanted to live in it, nurture it, dance with it, enjoy it. Most importantly be one with it. I felt as though I was being born again, but this time I had a choice. And I decided I really wanted to live. Then the music stopped. I felt so bombarded by the sounds around me in class. I felt over-stimulated and I can now only wonder how a baby must feel upon entering the earth. I felt like I was in the delivery room again. But this time I wasn't pissed off and asking God to take me back. I felt grateful for my human form. In that moment I understood – just in that moment. And I've worked so hard to understand what the hell is going on here. In that moment it all felt so perfect. Everything felt so perfect here – the plants, the birds, the sex, the mountains, the dancing and so to is the human condition once you start to come out of the pain. You can choose to live there in the pain forever, or you can look yourself straight in the eyes and ask – Do I choose to live? And I said I DO!

So the journey CONTINUES. . . Jocelyn Jenkins, Healer


What I learned and experienced in massage school has become an integral part of my life. Your skills of teaching were supportive, thorough and in-depth. It is difficult to describe all that I learned besides anatomy, physiology, nutrition and massage techniques. I experienced my heart open, I opened my eyes to my truth and who I really am. I experienced being in the moment, being present and how powerful that is. I experienced self awareness and awareness of others and my relationship to them on all levels, especially energetically. I experienced letting go of old emotional barriers and patterns that were no longer serving me, and that cleared the way to be present. A doorway was opened through massage that lead to the art I am producing today. I have continued to do and receive massage all these years and I have yet to experience a massage therapist with the integrity and presence of you. I also have verbal acknowledgment from my clients of their experience when their massage is complete. They report a release and balancing of energy, a clearing of the emotional body, an increased ability to be present and that they are filled with wonder, peace and a sense of being truly [sic ]loved. Words cannot express the deep appreciation I have for the gift you have given me.
Thank you so very much, Alexandria


I found your form of bodywork fascinating. It is evidence that deep work does not necessarily suggest harsh or severe methods. Your style is so gentle, patient, and most powerfully subtle. When I reflect on it, I think of terms like unique, integrating, balancing, and deep. It seems to find the emotional blockages and assist people in moving through them. And it seems to evoke the inner "voice" of the body/mind without words, assessing the transverbal language beneath the layers of social adaptations. Clearly, you are on to something!
