Massage
Nurture. Balance. Heal.
Jenerous Bodycare offers massage therapy and natural bodycare products to support your innate healing potential.
When I first came to see Jen, it was after a month of almost daily migraines. I was scared and confused because even though I had suffered from occasional migraines for many years, I had never experienced them so frequently. Jen calmly and thoroughly helped me devise a treatment plan. She gave wonderful massages that relaxed me during visits, and assigned targeted ways to re-prioritize my own self-care between visits. I still have a stressful job and two small children, but I no longer have frequent migraines. Jen’s compassionate and skillful care was instrumental in helping me demystify, manage, and eventually find relief from debilitating migraines. I highly recommend her comprehensive approach to wellness.

Jen is intuitive, knowledgeable, and creative. Between a car accident, a very active job, and various athletic ventures, she’s creatively and successfully treated my sternum and hip injuries, hand/arm post surgery, and a myriad of sore and tight muscles. She’s amazing!

I’ve had work done by other LMTs and Jen is by far the most skillful and nurturing practitioner that has worked on me. She asks insightful questions, is very attentive and aware, and picks up on all the things that other people typically miss.

The Art of Receiving
My job mandates deep thoughts, big feelings, great nutrition, and receiving many massages. I know, poor me!
Receiving bodywork is really the only way for me to remember how much humans need nurturing, intuitive, high-quality touch.
Intra-Oral Massage
A regular client of mine usually comes in with shoulder, neck and jaw pain. She especially feels chronic jaw tension which has been diagnosed as TMJ. Unconsciously but relentlessly, she clenches and grinds her teeth and has chewed through two night guards.
Computer-itis Stretches
Since I began a career in bodywork, I've become a real wimp at sitting at the computer for long periods of time. With a laptop, I find it too easy to get into funky positions like a "forward torso slump, shoulders-as-earrings, neck bobbing for apples" kind of thing....
Striving for Balance
The other day, I found myself ruminating over balance as I was elbow deep in a hamstring. Massage aims to uphold balance within muscle tissue, connective tissue (fascia), bones, energy, and lymph. Humans are up against gravity, aging, postural…
Psoas: Muscle of The Soul
As a massage therapist, swimming through layers of tissue with the intention of iliopsoas release never gets old. This is one of my favorite education points with clients because Psoas tension seems to affect so many of us. This article beautifully sums up…
The Benefits of Detox
I believe that massage therapy can greatly benefit any detox or weight loss program. From personal experience on the receiving end and as a professional bodyworker, I’ve seen many overloaded bodies transform into more supple, aligned, flexible and happy bodies. As...
Love. Love. Love.
“This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.” –Wikipedia, Love Yeah, it’s a doozy to explain. That’s why poets and...
The Naked Tree
Winter is near, and amongst other things, it means a skyline of naked trees. I think there is something so beautiful about the vulnerability and sharpness of their branches reaching out toward the grey Pacific Northwest sky. It reminds me of how our bodies go through...
Plunge into the Cold
The 5th of July is right around the corner, and here in Seattle that means warmer days are officially on the horizon. I think its safe to introduce one of my favorite hydrotherapy tricks: cold showers! If I had mentioned this back in February, I may be getting hate...
