testimonials “Jesse provided a safe and nurturing environment that allowed me to really slow down and be present to myself as I explored layers of questions and EVEN the answers that my inner wisdom had to offer. The somatic work of Hakomi is a beautiful practice. I highly recommend Jesse as a Hakomi practitioner.” — Donna “My Hakomi sessions with Jesse have strengthened my mind and body connection, which has been significant in processing and healing through a time of heightened transition and uncertainty. Our sessions helped reveal and a lot of unconscious beliefs and behaviors, provided exercises for attuning to where /how these manifest in my body and begin to bring the mind and body into greater alignment to feel a clearer sense of self, identify growth edges, and determine where to focus more healing work. Somatic practices are often very challenging for me— general discomfort as a person who hasn’t felt very attuned to my body most of my life but also some skepticism around things which can feel very “woo woo”—but Hakomi (and their approach to it) is very accessible, gentle and supportive. I highly recommend working with Jesse! ” — Monica “Having never experienced somatic therapy before working with Jesse, the ways that Jesse prompted me to listen to my body and be more considerate to my own feelings will stick with me for a long time. Jesse’s use of affirmations and prompts felt really comforting and gave me touchstones to keep with me throughout the week. I struggle to get out of my own head and not judge my own feelings and reactions, but with Jesse guiding me and their voice talking me through things a bit, it got easier to sit with and focus on myself. My brain feels clearer and I feel more connected to my own brain and body, which is so comforting and difficult to achieve for me. I feel really grateful for Jesse’s time and energy as they worked to get me to a comfortable place.” — Brittany C. “Being new to somatic therapy I had no idea what to expect and Jesse was incredibly welcoming as I started this type of practice. Each session led us down a different path, I began with thoughts bouncing around in my head and by the end my mind + body were both calm and quiet. I left with a sense of peace, leaving behind the feelings, thoughts, and sensations that were keeping me stuck. I walked away from each session with simple phrases that quickly became mantras I repeated, continuing the positive impacts of Jesse’s work for weeks beyond the actual time we spent together. This introduced me to new tools for my health, mindset + overall well-being, and I’m looking forward to what else I learn with new sessions. Jesse was calm, steady, encouraging, and a wonderful guide. I truly found their work valuable and will continue with sessions.” — Lindy W.
