I turned 47 yesterday, and nature gave me the greatest gift of all: Clarity.

Brandon and I stepped away for a much-needed digital detox. We spent the weekend backpacking through Jones Gap, camping along a running river and a soothing waterfall, before a steep hike to a second, massive one.

The highlight? Blue Ghost fireflies.

They surrounded us and our tent for hours, a rare, ethereal glow found only here in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. It felt like being inside a fairytale. 🧚

We held a fire ceremony, burning dried leaves to symbolize the emotions and thoughts that no longer serve us. It was incredibly freeing to watch them catch light, hold their power for a final moment, and then slowly turn to ash.

The result of all that quiet? My mind cleared so deeply that I came up with the entire outline for my book!

This year is going to be about:
• Deeper connection to nature
• Finally writing my dream book
• Leading with my heart

Thank you all for the birthday wishes. I’m forever grateful to be surrounded by such an amazing community of friends and family.

When the world feels suffocating, it can be challenging to connect with the love we hold within us. 💗

We are often taught that yoga is about achieving the “perfect” posture or sitting perfectly still in a seated position.

But Somatic Yoga is different. It isn’t about how a pose looks on the outside, it’s about how it feels on the inside. You don’t need perfect alignment to heal.

Our nervous systems often build a “wall” of protective armor around our hearts when life feels like too much.

Through gentle somatic touch, like this simple hand-to-heart massage, we bypass the need to “perform” and communicate directly with the vagus nerve.

We tell a stressed, exhausted body: “It is safe to soften. It is safe to breathe.”

Ready to stop fighting your body?
I’ve spent 17 years helping women exhale with holistic nutrition and yoga practices.

If you’re ready to support your nervous system while nourishing your body, I invite you to join Nourish & Calm.

✨Step into a whole new realm of well-being:

For a long time, I felt like I was in "survival mode" with my social media content, trying to keep up, trying to be everywhere, trying to figure out the algorithm, trying to be perfect...

But over the last 17 years, I’ve learned that the most profound healing happens when we stop pushing and start listening to our nervous systems.

My own nervous system is finally operating within the Window of Tolerance, and with that, my grounded and creative energy is returning. I’m so excited to share that I am returning to YouTube with a fresh focus: Somatic Yoga.

I’ll be sharing new, restorative practices specifically designed to help you navigate burnout, perimenopause, and the high-stress seasons of life. These aren't just workouts; they are "work-ins" for your well-being.

✨ I’ve just updated my channel and am preparing to start creating new content each week.

I’d love for you to join in on the calm:

I recently had the honor of sitting down with Canvas Rebel to share the “behind the scenes” story of my 17-year journey in the wellness industry, from my early days as a hairstylist in Denver to my current practice here in Greenville, SC.

“Never give up on the beauty of your dreams.”

This quote by Eleanor Roosevelt is my favorite, and I live by it. That doesn’t mean the path was always easy, but it is 100% worth it.

Thank you for being part of this community and letting me share my heart and my work with you. 🤍

If you’re used to “pushing through” your movement, Somatic Yoga will feel like a breath of fresh air.

It’s not about how a pose looks, it’s about how it feels from within.

By combining slow, intentional movements with breathwork, we:

✨ Rewire the nervous system out of “survival mode.”
✨ Release chronic muscle tension and stored stress.
✨ Restore your body’s ability to finally “rest and digest.”

We practice this every Friday at 12pm ET inside the Nourish & Calm Membership.

Ready to exhale?

Comment CALM & I’ll send you the link to join us.

“Jessica, I’m already so busy. How do I actually fit this in?”

I’ve had so many of you reach out since I opened the doors to Nourish & Calm, and I want to pull back the curtain on what happens when you step inside.

This isn’t a place where you add more tasks to an already overflowing "to-do" list. It’s a place where you gain time back by finally feeling like yourself again.

Here is the "Consistency with Softness" rhythm:

✨ Weekly 30-Minute Somatic Yoga Classes
Fridays from 12:00 pm – 12:30 pm ET
This is a nervous-system reset to release the physical and mental tension of your week. Can't make it live? Replays are available.

✨ Monthly Live Masterclass
First Thursday of every month from 6:00 pm – 6:30 pm ET
We dive into the “why” behind your metabolism, energy, hormones, and digestion. Can't make it live? Replays are available.

✨ Anytime You Need It
You have 24/7 access to the Signature Vault via my app or your desktop. This includes my proven nutrition resources, seasonal resets, hormone-supportive recipes, and somatic practices.

✨ The Private Community Circle
Access to a private chat feature off-Facebook with a group of like-minded women for support and encouragement.

The shift happens when you stop fighting your body and start supporting it. When your nervous system finally feels safe, that’s when your digestion settles, your energy stays steady, and you find the mental capacity to handle your beautiful, busy life again.

Ready to see how it feels?

Join Nourish & Calm for $97/mo (HSA/FSA accepted): https://www.jessicaleereader.com/nourishandcalm/

P.S. There are no contracts, and you can cancel anytime with one click. Come join us for a month and see if "consistency with softness" is the missing piece you’ve been looking for.

I’ve been quietly working behind the scenes rebranding my company from Vitalized Body to Jessica Lee Reader.

I wanted my brand to reflect the personal, one-on-one work I do with women — so it felt right to bring it under my own name.

Take a peek at my updated website to see how I help women in perimenopause and menopause feel better in their bodies — one simple, supportive step at a time. ❤️
