“Working with Jesse helped me to release a lot of emotions I was not aware I had been carrying in my body for sometime. I am able to be more mindful of them now and my body as well as my posture. I am so grateful for this transformative experience. Thank you so much, Jesse! I most definitely recommend Jesse and Hakomi therapy to others”

Jesse Rosenblum is a Certified Hakomi Practitioner, teacher, food lover and astrology nerd*. They created this space to offer support grounded in nourishment and your body’s wisdom.

For most of my life, I was deeply afraid of being alone and turning inward. I had curiosity about the world around me that allowed me to connect easily with others—but that same curiosity often distracted me from really knowing myself. I searched so many wisdom traditions—looking for some external answer. But each one only led me back to myself.

When I found Hakomi and somatic work, I knew I had found something magical. Hakomi places us within the mystery and possibility of it all. It is ultimately redemptive and creatively generative. It asks us to open up to experiences and versions of ourselves and our lives that we haven’t yet seen. It is the alchemy of timelines (past, present and future), creating a more honest, grounded, beautiful inner world of choice. When I am doing a session with someone, it’s like I’m there with a flashlight, shining a light on the parts that need attention and then I hold space with a loving, nonjudgmental presence while you figure out what’s needed. This method doesn’t make me an expert—it’s really about you trusting yourself and finding your own inner wisdom. I get to support your healing but, ultimately, you own it.

This work combines so much of what I want to offer to the world: healing, new beliefs, sovereign connection to yourself, and the ability to feel more at ease in your own skin. That’s what I want for you, because that’s what this work has given me. 

I have a great capacity for darkness and “heavy” emotions. And, because I have gone there, I also know the expanse of joy and elation. As the oldest poets and wise people of the world know, sorrow and joy go hand-in-hand on this ride we call life. It fulfills me to help people find their way, with less fear and more possibility for growth. It lights me up and makes me feel like I am living out my purpose. 

I am constantly learning and undoing—curiously, humbly, and imperfectly. And, I keep showing up because I care. Deeply. My tender heart has often felt like a liability but, the older I get, the more I realize it’s my greatest strength. That, and my love of story. Human beings fascinate me in their complexity. We’re each this unique jumble of genetics, life experience, temperament and so much more. And then there’s the mystery of how and why we come to be in this exact moment in history, in the exact place we are. How we are in relation to the greater universe and solar system that we are part of, knowing that we are made up of the same matter. Watching cycles of nature and knowing we are also part of that. The mystery of that wide universe that I, for one, haven’t figured out but know it’s present in my life.

I’m just a human navigating life and it’s complicated, as you know! But, I do have this special gift to offer and I want to be of service to my human family on their journey towards wholeness. If I can help you feel a little less suffering, then my job feels complete. Read more about my training and approach to Somatic Therapy here.
