NOW OFFERING EMBODIMENT COACHING
Hello!
My name is Jennifer Marsh and I have been a massage therapist since 2009. Most recently I have become a Certified BodyMind Coach, with a specialty in Embodiment Coaching. My goal in combining Massage and Coaching is to bring awareness in how beautifully connected our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies truly are. Below are just a few tidbits to let you know more about Hands & Heart. Enjoy!
I remember when I was a little girl my friends and I would sometimes play "Spa". My mother would help us set the scene- lighting candles, popping Enya into the CD player, and making a massage table out of the couch cushions. I grew up fascinated by alternative medicine-the remedies, the healing, the lifestyle. There was always something deep down in my soul that called out to these ancient, holistic ways of life. I was also intrigued by the physical body-how this walking ecosystem works together to form this incredible machine. I attended massage therapy school at Everest University and I have since received training in areas such as Medical Massage, Deep Tissue Myofascial Release, Active Release Therapy, Thai Yoga Therapy, & Reiki. Connecting with and helping people through massage therapy is one of the highlights of my life. I feel truly blessed to have made a career out of one of my biggest passions.
I feel self-care is both a luxury and a necessity. At Hands & Heart you don't have to choose between therapy that is helpful and effective, or therapy that is relaxing and luxurious-you get it all. To experience any kind of pain is draining, whether it's stemming from a physical, mental, or emotional state. I find solutions by customizing a unique experience using the healing power of massage to release the physical and emotional discomforts of everyday life, resulting in better health and wellness.
In 2014 I lost my mother to cancer. It forced me to face every anxiety, every doubt, every fear I ever had, square in the face. It catapulted me down the rabbit hole of "Who am I?", "What do I do with this life?" Needless to say, in the loss of my mother, I found myself. I allowed myself to get curious to what was in my "rule book", what served me and what didn't. I began to question what mattered to me, what didn't, and why. A power within me ignited, and I gave myself permission to write my own rules.
As a Certified BodyMind Coach I want to support you in discovering your truth, learning to listen to your body, and building trust in your intuition so you feel more grounded, connected, and supported from within. I want to support you in reclaiming your power and developing the life you truly desire and deserve. For the majority of us, our natural instinct is to resist anything stressful or uncomfortable. If it feels bad, put on a bandaid and keep it moving. But what if we no longer saw it as “bad”? What if, instead, we viewed the discomfort as our body’s way of indicating something needs to change or shift?
BodyMind Coaching is centered around giving the body a voice. So many of us live only within the boundaries of our minds, cutting off the messages our body is in desperate need for us to hear. We let our thoughts dictate what we should do, who we should be, should not do, should not be, and from those thoughts we tend to create narratives that are chaotic and unsupportive.
I want to support you in unearthing the life that is most in alignment with what you want and need; to guide you back to your most authentic self. I want to support you in connecting with what lies within- inner peace, inner trust, and inner knowing.
