The sacred dance of Thai bodywork is a dance between two bodies, where Jenine combines learned techniques based in traditional Thai massage, dynamic thai massage, osteothai massage and craniosacral therapy. Jenine works intuitively with the application of rhythmic pressure on certain energy points and lines in the body, yogic stretching of muscles and joint manipulation so that blockages can be released and the energy restored to its natural flow. It has a double purpose. On the preventive side, it activates a free flow of energy and improves fluid circulation, digestion, breathing capacity, body posture, flexibility, and can help release nervous tension. On the therapeutic side, it can relieve a large number of pathologies such as lower back pain, headaches, digestive problems, stress, insomnia, nervous imbalance, neck and shoulder muscular tightness, just to name a few. The massage is done on a futon mat on the floor with the receiver fully clothed in loose comfortable clothing. The treatment can sometimes be static in technique (sinking deeply into a meditative state) and sometimes quite dynamic. B R E A T H W O R K
Yogic breathwork is called 'Pranayama', a Sanskrit word meaning
“extension of the life force”. With awareness, we can use breathwork to break through barriers in our life. It has the power to help us overcome blocks or stressors that create anxiety, depression, grief and fear. With conscious breath, we can fuel our own healing and transformation and bring a new level of expansion to our lives. In Jenines breathwork circles, she guides you through the ancient eastern breathing technique, holding space for you to do the work and be in control of your own healing. The method often does not come easy; obstacles in our minds often confront us. The power of a group setting can help us break through these barriers. Jenine complements these breathwork sessions with different sound healing instruments including an ocean drum, Tibetan singing bowls, chau gong, koshi bells and tuning forks.
