New Group Class!

I'm excited to start offering an animal movements class at the neighbors - Naked Heart Yoga, LLC . It will be Mondays at 5p, starting Oct 6, and run 45 min. Sign up at app.ubindi.com/Jessica.Ireland.

Animal movements tie together strength, mobility, and skill/control really beautifully. They reeducate your body to move as a unit, rather than an assemblage of parts. Most importantly, they are fun!

These movements helped keep my bodywork career on the rails (while my hands adjusted to the work) and I'm excited to share!

You'd like to see the movements in action? Here's a taste

Free Massage!

Two opportunities at my office:
Tuesday Oct 21 7-8p
Tuesday Oct 28 7-8p

I am taking a rib cage technique webinar that includes these two nights and need someone to work with during each session. If interested, you could come both nights or just one.

I'm excited for this course! The ribs are often neglected and releasing the surrounding soft tissue can have far-ranging impacts. If you're interested and have questions, I'm happy to talk.

When I first started getting busy as a bodyworker about 6 years ago, I was very excited to support my family doing what I wanted and still want to do. My hands, wrist, and fingers were also excited, but not in a desirable way - inflamed and in pain.

I found GMBs Elements - a strength and mobility program that is super fun, affordable, required no equipment, and basically resolved my tendonitis in a couple months!

I am currently training to be a GMB fitness coach, but I also highly recommend Elements to anyone who wants to enjoy the process of getting stronger, more mobile, and developing the control required to do cool stuff

Build strength, agility, and freedom of movement by mastering essential movement skills.

St Johns Wort is the next featured plant from the "help yourself" herb garden in front of my office.

St Johns Wort presents with a cheery yellow flower reminding us of its role in bringing light to gloomy phases of life. It, in general, acts strongly to support healing of the nervous system. As a bodyworker and in personal use, my primary experience with it has been treating acute nerve damage/pain. For this, I apply a couple tincture drops topically to the injury site and also take it in internally a few times/day until symptoms pass...which has always been very quickly.

There's a batch of St Johns Wort tincture on our kitchen butcher block that will be ready within a couple weeks. I will have some to share, so reach out if you'd like to try it...or stop by and harvest some flowers!

So, I've added availability for sessions next Tuesday (usually am out of the office that day). If you're hoping to get in asap, contact me about next Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday currently has several openings.

Chamomile - First in a series of a few herbs I'm featuring that are available to anyone from the "help yourself" herb garden in from of my office.

If you love chamomile, but have only had bagged chamomile tea you will really love tea made from fresh flowers and/or high quality dried chamomile (easily found online)! Chamomile flowers are high in volatile oils, and so care in processing and storage is important in maintaining medicinal and taste quality.

Chamomile is so common its perhaps underappreciated as a medicine. In our inflammatory times, its soothing nature is a great remedy. Great for any time of day - it will not put you to sleep, unless finding relaxation is the only barrier to snoozing. One of my teachers said its a remedy for "babies of all ages" - you know who you are, and no shame in that! We are all there at times.

Its relaxing properties extend to soft tissue and the digestion system as well.

If this sounds supportive to you, please help yourself to some chamomile! Its in bloom now.
