Hi! I'm Jenelle Woodlief, a visionary dreamer, a s Hi! I'm Jenelle Woodlief, a visionary dreamer, a strategic planner, a single mom, a sound sleeper, and an ever hopeful artist and dancer.  I'm changing lives through transformational bodywork and massage. Even in the midst of a global deadly pandemic.  I've taken years of training and practice as a thai massage therapist, structural bodyworker, yoga teacher, and self-care advocate to create a unique and transformational approach to healing.  I've created a bodywork style that changes the physical structure of your body, creates more balance, and significantly improves symptoms of pain and discomfort. And I've condensed this style into a 12-week Transformational Bodywork Series.  What is included in the series?
💜12 weeks of 90-minute bodywork
💜Structural and Postural Assessments
💜Self-care techniques relevant to your body
💜Support in between sessions (video, email, or text)  I'm in a traditional field not typically thought of as a path to wealth. 💰But I'm a visionary with a passion for changing lives on a worldwide scale.  This year, I will be traveling to see clients 🌊 (I already have an invite from @arialeighty), inviting clients to travel to me, and releasing a training & certification program to train massage therapists in my style of bodywork.  Bodywork can and WILL change the world and how we connect with one another.  I invite you to tag ONE person who you admire as a visionary.  Ask: tag someone who needs to change the way their body feels.

Mug shot? Ha! No, this is just what a structural a Mug shot? Ha! No, this is just what a structural assessment looks like with me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It feels awkward to stand still while someone stares at you and writes notes about your body BUT it is incredibly helpful.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Through this process, I can assess structural imbalances and postural distortions. No judgements, just tidbits of evidence that direct my focus.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On the surface, these are photos of a beautiful and strong woman (me!), and I can also note the imbalances, which explain the discomfort I sometimes feel and the injuries I've sustained.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For example, do you see how my left hip is elevated? This explains why my left low back and right inner thigh are always tighter than the other side. Then you can see how this one imbalance travels up through my spine and shoulders as my body compensates. And this is just the beginning!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's all incredibly fascinating to me. And part of how I serve my clients through my Transformational Bodywork Series.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Curious how your body's imbalances can be contributing to your pain, discomfort, and injuries?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Interested in knowing what you can do at home to improve them?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Want a bodywork experience that can permanently create structural change in your body to decrease your symptoms?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is about so much more than massage.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Schedule your first session and see the difference.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Drop a Hey! if you can spot any other imbalances!

Healing through self-bodywork We (and our bodies) Healing through self-bodywork  We (and our bodies) are capable of so much more than we give ourselves credit for.  All too often, we give up our power. Our ability to heal.  We unintentionally attach ourselves to our pain and discomfort, allowing it to take up permanent residence in our lives and identities.  It isn’t easy to shed these old stories but we are NOT our pain.  And we hold so much healing potential within ourselves. If we choose to embrace it.  I offer you some tools to do so through my new virtual catalogue of self-bodywork. I cover the entire body and most common aches, pains, and recurring injuries that I’ve seen in my clients over the past 9 years.  Change your pain story. I can show you how. It’s a small investment to make, especially while it’s on presale. $99 until 1/15/21 (regularly $149)  What pain stories do you want to heal?  Link in bio @jenelle.woodlief

So what IS traditional Thai massage?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
An ancient bodywork practice originating in Thailand, Thai massage is often referred to a Thai Yoga Massage. It is focused on:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Acupressure points⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Light to deep stretching (more on this below)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Deep muscle compression⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Movement of the limbs⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Energy clearing⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For me, I describe it as a dance, with rhythmic and meditative movement and application. I move myself and my client's body in basic yoga positions.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some key distinctions with other forms of massage:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Performed clothed⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On a traditional floor mat⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No lotions or oils⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My whole body is used to apply pressure⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You kind of have to see it so make sure to browse my profile grid for some lovely examples. And message me with any questions!
