CJ has been in practice since 2008, as an intuitive and integrative Swedish massage practitioner. The work ranges from deep relaxation to therapeutic, incorporating subtle techniques and modalities including myofascial release, trigger point and energy work. Using a gentle yet firmly guided pressure which in turn meets the resistance of your musculature, then leaning in to influence release without force. While Cj does not incorporate traditional deep tissue into the work, the work does reach and affect the deeper tissues of the body.

CJ encourages the empowerment of clients in their own care and healing, acting as a facilitator and conduit in the process. The goal is for you to leave a session feeling firmly embodied, relaxed and rejuvenated.CJ’s space is safe and consent oriented. Their care is inclusive, trauma informed, as well as gender and body positive. All clients are treated with respect and innate worth.

—Subtle Energy Mechanics:

Neurological repatterning and nervous system entrainment. A gentle and largely energy induced modality that first assesses spinal tension and trauma patterns in the body, then using subtle movements and gentle contacts along the spine, it encourages and coordinates the autonomic nervous system while assisting in the repatterning of trauma induced responses. This allows for more movement and flow in the system which can lead to many additional benefits.

Client reported benefits of this modality are vast and varied. Some commonly reported benefits are: improved/deeper sleep, overall feeling of well-being, feeling more like oneself, lessened anxiety, dissolution or disappearance of symptoms such as pain and discomfort of the body, deepening of emotions and reactive counterparts, renewed motivation and direction, feeling more capable overall, shifts in awareness, a sense of purpose, enhanced creativity, executive function, joy and more flow in all facets of their lives.

Energy work can be described as dramatic shifts in healing happening and being recognized. We are a latticework of energies; these energies shape how we feel, think, and live. Energy therapists combine acquired knowledge and intuitive understanding of body energies in various modalities

• TESTIMONIALS •

I love the SEM modality (energy work) that Cj does. They have such calming and gentle energy, just being in the space feels good. I have noticed myself shifting in the direction I want to go. Lots of releasing, but also subtle which is wonderful. I highly recommend Cj!

Thanks to my sessions with Cj I feel more centered and solid in myself and my needs. My pelvis, which hasn’t been able to lay flat on the floor without stretching first, is now released and in correct alignment. It has been at least a decade since that was possible. My anxiety has mostly vanished and that feels especially miraculous given how debilitating it has been.

They hold space in a way that makes me feel supported and deeply cared for, which my system really needs when receiving such deep energetic work (SEM). I’m deeply grateful for the ways that I am able to inhabit my body with more strength and joy now.

I have seen Cj for years for massage. They are highly intuitive and highly skilled in body work, consistently addressing specific physical issues. Those skills translate beautifully into their energy work (SEM).<br>

Most recently, Cj has been able to help me process grief after a major loss, addressing both the physical and emotional components of the process, as complicated as it can be.

I find their energy work (SEM) to be an integral part of my self care and deep healing. Cj’s energy work (SEM) has efficiently addressed a couple of specific nagging, chronic physical issues that were not responding to acupuncture and massage alone.

When I 1st went to Cj I had recently discovered I had a herniated disc that had me in severe pain with numbness down my back, leg, and foot. I couldn't even sit without wincing in pain on our 1st session. The sessions are quicker than I expected and highly effective. I felt giddy and loose in my body and dreamy in mind after 1 session. Another had me tearful, releasing something that wasn't helpful. I credit the 12 sessions with significantly reducing the pain and numbness from the herniated disc, a big reduction of headaches that were all too normal for me, and a theme of being more in touch with my true self emotionally. It is gentle powerful work I highly recommend.

As I shared knowledge of how I had come to be where I was, details of the many shifts that had occurred over my entire life began to take shape. We recognized that their emerging practice in SEM (energy work) might be aligned with my own receptivity to build a very much stronger and healthier me. Their work with me has contributed hugely to my overall recovery and ongoing success.
