It's so easy to feel "not enough" and get caught up in the doing more, BEing more. The comparison game.⁠
⁠
Thank you to all who supported me this weekend, it was beautifully humbling. ⁠
⁠
I won't lie, it was a HARD weekend. A lot of pain resurfaced, which I dealt with by creating new pain that spent me spiraling a bit.⁠
⁠
A few things brought me back, and reminded me that the universe is ALWAYS working in my highest good, ALWAYS offering opportunities to heal. But healing doesn't happen on our own.⁠
⁠
We need connection, community, and the safe space of Healers.⁠
⁠
I attended a business conference that was all centered around self-love and self-care. Wow, how is that for timing. ⁠
⁠
Thank you, universe, more please! Also thank you to @arialeighty @the.mobnation @mobcon2021 @itsangethompson @kindheartedchaos and too many others to count.⁠
⁠
Then I saw MY healer, a brilliant Chinese medical doctor, who brought me back to myself. Michelle Yan of Path Solaris in Portland, she's not on instagram but I'll share her info in the comments.⁠
⁠
But others can't do the hardest work for us. The messy, deep, shadow work, the asking yourself those HARD questions. Sitting in your discomfort. Caring for your body, your mind, and heart. ⁠
⁠
But I did it, and it unlocked something I didn't even realize was holding me back.⁠
⁠
I'm so grateful for the powers of rest, quiet, journaling, guided meditations, and the spiritual practice I've created.⁠
⁠
I'm becoming the person I always dreamed of. I'm creating the life of my dreams.⁠
⁠
Thank you for being a part of it. 📸 @sierra_la_rue Holding my beautiful @greatnorthwestdesign mug

Why on earth would I take selfies when I’m cryin

Why on earth would I take selfies when I’m crying? Because these moments are beautiful too. Healing is beautiful. What feels like a painful jumbled mess is the universe’s way of presenting opportunities to journey home to our highest self. I took the very first one right after my husband cruelly walked out on me for another women. I didn’t know what to do but I somehow knew I needed to savor that moment. Perhaps I’ll be able to share it someday. In the meantime, remember to give yourself grace, allow yourself to fall apart, and surround yourself with people who remind you of your beauty when you’ve forgotten. I forgot for a moment last night. Because healing isn’t linear. There are always more shadows, always more icky crevices. And that’s the beauty. #ownyourpower #healingjourney #painisbeauty #freeyourself #feelittohealit #selfcompassion #heymob #shadowworker #thehealer #cryingselfie #itsallok #iambeautiful #thisishealing

What would you do if you could do ANYthing? I'd be me! Doing exactly what I am right now. I still marvel at the life I've created. I get to spend my time Healing others, and Healing myself. I literally see the world changing before my eyes, and get to feel it with my hands. I witness people's lives changing. It's completely awe inspiring. How did I get here? One set back after another But I wouldn't change a damn thing. Really. Except maybe the grad school debt... I could do without that. Some cool facts about me: 👩‍🎓 I almost had my PhD but I was suicidally depressed so I chose another life by quitting it all and going to massage school 💆🏼‍♀️

Healing happens when we connect with our bodies, t

Healing happens when we connect with our bodies, this is what guides us home to ourselves. Connection, forgiveness, acceptable, listening. Too much in this world disconnects and disengages us from our bodies, even dissociating altogether, as coping mechanisms to chronic stress, pain and trauma. This is why I have created a unique Healing modality, to bring you home to yourself. Transformational Bodywork incorporates traditional Thai massage, structural bodywork, fascial release, deep muscle compression, passive stretching, and energy healing with empowering coaching on self-care Healing practices. The magic in this approach is your commitment to self. I've designed it to be a 12-week Healing journey, and it will transform your self and your relationship with your body. So what does it entail? 12 sessions, including 90-minutes of hands-on work and 15-30 minutes of assessment, coaching, self-bodywork education, and holding space for where you are in your Healing journey.
Self-bodywork tool-kit
Investment: $3,000 or 3 payments of $1,000 The magic happens when you show up for your sessions, and for yourSELF, week after week, committing to a new way of being. Committing to your Healing. You will see magnificent changes take place from week to week. Your body will change, your heart will adjust, and you will feel the ripple effects throughout your whole life and in all of your relationships. What are clients saying? Sarah "If you want real results, lasting change, and more freedom in your body, invest in yourself by working with Jenelle.”
Adam “Jenelle has had a HUGE impact on how I feel in my daily life. 🔥She's changing my life🔥”
Kara "I love how dedicated [Jenelle is] to the full work of healing, within your own life, within the community, within each individual that works with you. You are nourishing."
Amanda “I cannot thank you enough for your time, empathy, skill, knowledge and intuition in addressing my chronic pain.” 📸 @sierra_la_rue

Using oracle cards in my journaling practice to ga

Using oracle cards in my journaling practice to gain new insights and perspective. It’s a simple and powerful part of my spiritual practice. My favorite oracle deck is the Goddess Power by @colettebaron_reid - it’s always amazing. 1. Prepare my space - place my deck, guide book, and journal in front of me. Light a candle and burn some palo santo. 2. Prepare my body and heart - do some deep breathing 3. Form a question. Examples:
What do I need to release? What do I need to learn before I make a decision? What wisdom do I need going into this week. But really, anything, it’s just a starting point. 4. The deck - shuffle and draw cards 5. Read through the guidebook interpretation of the cards and take notes on how they apply to my question. Journal on what comes up for me, including making a plan for how I will integrate the new perspective. Tips: Have fun! It doesn’t always have to make sense right away. Sometimes it’s not a literal message so be open to thinking about your question from multiple angles. Also, this is highly personal so find your own journey. And you may have to experiment with different decks until you find one that really resonates with you.

I used to never prioritize myself. I never put mys

I used to never prioritize myself. I never put myself first, no matter how miserable, out of sorts, or in pain I was. There were always other things that took precedent. Other things that needed our money, my time. I found a million excuses. And so I stayed in pain, I stayed at the bottom of the priority list, never insisting on a line in our budget. I continued hobbling along, until I finally fell. Injury, depression, completely losing myself. I hear the see this struggle reflected back to me in clients not ready to commit. I see myself in the stories, explanations, and ultimately their excuses for why the won’t prioritize their healing. It hurts because I’ve been there, I GET it. I wasn’t always this fierce advocate of healing and self-care. I remember the pain I felt, I remember feeling so alone, because I prioritized everyone before me. I didn’t insist we take care of ME too. Because I am strong, I can handle anything. But I don’t thrive in that place. I was barely surviving. And I want to THRIVE. Now I can’t imagine NOT investing in myself. My healing is non-negotiable. And I can’t imagine ever ever EVER going back to excuses and accepting “I’m fine.” To spending time and money on everyone but me. Are you ready to prioritize yourself? Are you ready to heal your pain so you can live your best life? I want to walk your journey with you and care for you like we all deserve. 📸 @sierra_la_rue

I am a powerful manifester. I think the most impor

I am a powerful manifester. I think the most important thing I’ve ever manifested has been my own Healing. This weekend has been a reminder and celebration of just how far I’ve come. Feelings came up, took over my body, and I had all the tools and supports to move through it with grace. * Trigger Warning | Anxiety disorder, suicide When I was 22, I traveled to where I knew no one for a job. It was a decision made out of fear, and my body protested this living out of alignment. It happened suddenly, though I wasn’t in touch enough with my soul to understand the meaning. So I pushed through But my body literally screamed for attention. I started choking on my food, all my food, all the time. Every time I swallowed, I had a minor or major panic attack. It affected every single facet of my life. I couldn’t eat, drink, sleep. It made conversations stressful, and I would avoid interactions where food was involved. To put it mildly, I suffered terribly. A new job, and then starting grad school, I was hanging on by a thread. For three years. Of miser and questioning whether I wanted to live, of therapy and medications, then finally finding my truth. The truth was, I was living out of alignment with my true calling. The truth was, I had lost my sense of self. It was a long journey home to myself, at peace. But I had to choose another way of being. I had to choose to find a way out. And I did. I wasn’t alone though. A very important person walked this path with me. He centered and grounded me, he taught me how to truly turn inward to find your way. He said the most important thing in life is make each day one of joy and presence. He taught me meditation and mantras. He gave me life. And permission to make it mine. I am forever indebted. And I miss him. Whenever anxiety taps me on the shoulder I always look for him. So he was with me this weekend. But he’s not here. Six years ago he told me he was proud of me, gave me a hug, and said goodbye. I found out later that week that he ended his life. And mine was never the same. Want to know how I came back into alignment, and back into my body and soul? Read the next post! 📸 @pdxbusinessphotos

I lost myself a bit this month. Caught up in the f

I lost myself a bit this month. Caught up in the frenetic energy of summer, anxious about the return to school, I lost my way. I wasn't sitting for my morning practice or fueling my body with the food and movement she needs. I was giving too much of myself away, all leaving me feel depleted and exhausted. We all lose our way sometimes, it isn't easy being human. Especially when you're trying to raise humans and run a business in the midst of a global pandemic and environmental crisis. And it's ok. But it's time to journey home, to myself, to the Earth, to spirit, to the invitations the universe always presents. Curious how I do this? I'd love to share with you! I have openings for clients in my 12-session Transformational Bodywork Series beginning in September. Let's spend the Fall diving deep into your Healing. Learn how to come home to yourself and Heal your pain. Xoxo 📸 @karacooperpro with @gracielathesage

You to what?! Part 2 I heal a max of 8-10 clients

You to what?! Part 2 I heal a max of 8-10 clients a week. Not over scheduling myself allows me to show up 110% for each client. Every single client gets the best of me. Yet... this requires premium pricing. Clients who are ready to heal pay because they know, it's worth it. They know that THEY are worth it. But that doesn't mean it's an easy decision. Choosing to invest in yourself doesn't often come easily. It's easy to fall back on "I can't afford that" or "I don't have time." Trust me, I've heard it all. And it's ok! My prices also ensure that when you show up, you're ready to SHOW up. You're ready to heal, you're ready to invest in you. You're ready to feel good in your body, to live your best life. When you're ready, you're ready. Are you ready to heal? I have two more spots for Transformational Bodywork Series clients starting in September. I'd love to have you! More thoughts:
Remember, I give you my all, and I use my body. So there are limits on how many sessions I give in a week, month, year, lifetime, and every single session I give does wear and tear on my body. My whole body. I'm down on the floor, using my whole body, and using my hands and forearms much like a rock climber does. There are limits. I can only do so much. I charge enough to allow me to get my own bodywork, to take days off, to limit the number of clients I see in a day, week, year. To not overextend myself and burn out. So when you ask how much a bodyworker or service provider charges, remember you're paying for all of that, and more. #portlandmassage #pdxmassage #portlandsmallbusiness #heymob #momownedbusiness #singlemombusinessowner Photo by @sierra_la_rue
