#clientlove “The Thai bodywork I had with Jenelle was outstanding!! During our session it felt like my body was being awoken from a 4-month COVID induced hibernation. “The session was relaxing and almost zen-like but also invigorating and refreshing. “I will definitely return and be recommending Jenelle to my friends and family!” Photo by the beautiful @sierra_selene_ #portlandwellness #portlandmassage #pdxwellness #healingpath #covidselfcare #staysafetostayopen #healingfromtrauma #connectwithyourself #healyourself #healyourbody #bodywork #portland

Genuine connection for me always begins by connect

Genuine connection for me always begins by connecting with my own self. Before every client session, I connect with and move my body and I ground myself in the present moment. Everything I do has intention. Here’s a small glimpse into my warm up. I warm my body up for the work that is to come. And I connect with my heart so that we get the best of me. If you haven’t received bodywork with me, I would love to invite you in. 90 minutes or two hours of all of my physical and energetic attention for you. I show up for you so that you may show up for you, now and every moment after. I aim to reconnect you with your body and lead you on a healing path to less pain, less tension, greater awareness, and much more ease and flow. See you soon,
xoxo

TRAUMA: "a deeply distressing or disturbing experi

TRAUMA: "a deeply distressing or disturbing experience" Note: it's relative, what is traumatic to YOU is trauma. Trauma is stored in the body and causes a myriad of dysfunction and pain, and often the connection isn’t made until it’s released. The heart of what I do is using bodywork to release trauma from the body. I lead you to deep healing. Healing from trauma MUST include releasing it from your physical body. My entire approach to bodywork does just this. I focus on releasing holding patterns caused by even years of trauma. Some signs that your body may be holding onto trauma: ✔️Difficulty taking a full, deep breath
✔️Belly discomfort or tightness
✔️Unexplained muscle tightness
✔️Headaches
✔️Jaw tension or clenching your teeth
✔️Decreased hip mobility or pain
✔️And more The good news is that a holistic approach to bodywork is very effective at releasing trauma, particularly when it is paired with emotional and spiritual healing. I am incredibly passionate about it all. Are you ready to heal? I see you and I’m here for you. #traumarecovery #portlandmassage #traumahealing #anxietysupport #ptsdrecovery #traumainformed #traumatherapy #bodyworker @empowered.bodywork #heymob Photo by @jeff.freeman.photo 💜

John Lewis is a national treasure. He passed on the gifts of resistance. Have you received and embraced them? Today we write our history books. What will your part be? What will you tell your grandchildren? What will you tell yourself? Everyone can do SOMETHING. Do SOMETHING. Anything. If you’re not part of the change, you ARE part of the problem. Be. The. Change. Don’t know how? Just ask. #goodtrouble

How you breathe is how you live. The breath is a direct reflection of your body/mind connection. It is how we stay present. Are you tuned in with how you breathe? How do you breathe? Do you fully inhale and exhale? Does your rib cage expand in all direction? So much stress, tension, and trauma are connected with how we breathe. I have never seen anyone experiencing or recovering from trauma who does not have breath dysfunction. How does this show up in the body? Almost no one I see is aware of their breath dysfunction. They experience the impact of it in the neck, shoulders, back, or pelvis but rarely identify on their own the restriction happening with their breath. BUT restricted breathing ripples through the whole body. A central component in recovering from trauma is rib and breath work. How are you breathing? Let me get you breathing again.

Thailand is a magical place. My life changed in the two months I spent there studying and soaking up the warm and spiritual culture. I left a piece of my heart there, and have felt called to return since.
💜
My life changed in those two months. My heart changed.
🖤
It was the most brave and courageous thing I’d ever done, traveling across the globe by myself, answering a call from deep inside my soul. Not knowing exactly what I’d experience, but knowing that I was being called.
🖤
Thailand, the Buddha, and Thai massage called me and I answered.
💜
And here I am. Filled with more joy and fulfillment than I ever dreamed possible.
🖤
Every. Damn. Day. I ask myself, “how is this my life?”
💜
And now I know the answer: I deserve it. I deserve all the happiness, joy, abundance, connection, and success in the world.
💜
And. So. Do. You.
🖤
Why?
💜
Just cause.

“Jenelle is a gentle, sweet soul who packs a powerful punch when it comes to bodywork!!!
💜
Her infusion of Thai massage and bodywork techniques worked parts of my body that had never been touched by a masseuse before.
💜
It was relaxing, mildly painful and soothing all at the same time. I had a lot of pent up stress and emotions and the release that occurred during my massage with her was 🖤 unlike any other I had ever experienced! 🖤
💜
Thank you Jenelle and I highly recommend her to everyone!!!

I love working on the feet. The physical, spiritua

I love working on the feet. The physical, spiritual, and energetic connection I make through the feet is unlike any other part of the body.
.
No matter the focus or intention of the session, I always begin and end with the feet. Why?
.
So many reasons! At the risk of sounding too spiritual and metaphorical, I’ll share a few:
.
💜
Most people never have any attention paid to their feet, and they need it! Our feet do so much work for us, they carry all of our weight and tension.
💜
It’s a beautiful act of service. Most people are embarrassed and even ashamed of their feet, and in need of someone to gently accept them. Think of how Jesus washed the feet of his disciples.
💜
“In many spiritual traditions, it is believed that the body and soul are connected and even embodied in the soles of the feet.” When I work on someone’s feet, I am showing complete respect and service.
💜
It is SO needed! So much dysfunction in the body begins at the feet. And many people abuse their feet with shoes and inattention.
💜
They’re connected to the entire body. If you’re not familiar with reflexology, it is fascinating.
💜
It helps ground you. When your feet hold tension, it is difficult to feel connected to the earth.
💜
It pulls energy down and through the body.
💜
And they’re super fascinating!!
💜
💜
💜
How do you feel about your feet?

I have never been more called to serve than right

I have never been more called to serve than right now.
.
I have never felt the urge to heal more than I do right now.
.
Never before have I believed so deeply and profoundly in the magic that I offer.
.
Of course, we know it’s not magic.
.
It’s a beautiful melding of physical restructuring, energetic healing, emotional support, and a releasing of stress, tension, and unhealthy holding patterns.
.
It is grounding and rebalancing.
.
It is the power of holding space for someone and being their partner in healing.
.
It is guiding people along on the journey home to themselves.
.
It is awakening them to their hearts and bodies, a return to presence.
.
Kind of like magic ✨
.
And WOW do we all need it.
.
The collective and personal trauma we're all experiencing is showing up in our bodies in very profound ways.
.
We have a perfect storm of intense stress, fear, uncertainty, social isolation, inaccessibility of usual self-care and movement facilities, and many of us are experiencing relationship stress and loss of employment.
.
I'm feeling it. Are you?
.
How can I support you?

“Jenelle brought my awareness back and set me on

“Jenelle brought my awareness back and set me on a much healthier and more sustainable path. I can honestly say no massage has ever done so much for me.
💜
I saw Jenelle a week ago and it was incredible. In addition to the wonderful massage, she noticed that my right rib cage wasn't expanding whenever I took a breath.
💜
Since then I've been trying to be really intentional with my breath, working to make more space along my right side body and ribs. I've noticed my collarbones are so tight! They're restricted all the time. I've never even thought about my collarbones before.
💜
I've been dealing with some past trauma recently and I didn't notice that it had caused me to become so detached from my body.
💜
Portland folks, go see Jenelle for an amazing thai massage!”
