✨ What if networking didn't have to feel like performing?

I spend most of my time in my private practice helping people come home to themselves — and somewhere along the way, I discovered I have a real gift for creating spaces where that same ease shows up in a room full of strangers.

That's why I created Pitch Please — a monthly gathering for the quietly brilliant, the beautifully introverted, the ones who leave every networking event wondering why they even went.

You don't need a polished pitch.

You don't need to hustle for a seat.

You just need to show up.

What you'll find here:

🌿 Real connection — no loud voices dominating the room
🌿 A chance to be seen, heard, and genuinely validated
🌿 Networking with way less stress, zero intimidation, and actually... ease

What this isn't:

One seat per industry.
A showcase.
A place for networking pros to perform.
Or a big financial commitment.

Just good people, doing the real thing.

If you've been burned out by the pressure of "traditional" networking — this was made for you. 💛

*In Person, Portsmouth NH every 2nd Wednesday at Buckley's Market

Hello All! Just your local (to Eliot ME) Bowenwork Practitioner here checking in!

Aside from Bodywork and Life Coaching- I LOVE to support women in business by bringing them together in connection. Creating authentic and organic networks that create genuine referrals to our businesses or the businesses we work for!

In my years of networking- there can be a lot of ick and pressure that comes with it that creates a barrier at the door. Especially for those that prefer a quieter space, experience dread around the thought of showing up to events, stress over 30 second pitches, and overall miss potential opportunities for connection that could help their businesses grow.

So! I have created a monthly get together where we Ditch the Pitch and focus on what's really important: YOU showing up!

There is no big buy in and there are no hidden strings. Just register, come and meet new people or connect with friends you haven't seen in a while!

Feel free to share this post with those who you know may be looking for this type of opportunity!

Next Month's event is live on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1987073953686?aff=oddtdtcreator

I look forward to seeing you there!

Hey there friends!

Are you someone who doesn't particularly enjoy networking because " the pitch" puts a pit in your stomach?

Me too.

So I have created a networking container for those looking for a more laid back networking opportunity that still packs a punch in meeting your needs to grow your network for your work and business needs!

It's coming up on Thursday April 9 ( this week!) and there are a few spots left for those that want to grab them before midnight tomorrow!

Pitch Please is the chill meetup for folks who dread networking but wanna connect without the awkwardness.

It's so much more than Bodywork over here friends.

One more certification for the books.

What does this mean? Besides me being epically awesome.... It builds upon my certification as a Building Personal Resilience Mentor.

Being a Certified HeartMath® Trainer means I get to help people (1:1 or on a larger scale) reconnect with one of the most powerful forms of intelligence we all possess — the intelligence of the heart. ❤️

HeartMath isn’t just about stress relief (though that’s a big part of it). It’s about learning how to create balance in the body, clarity in the mind, and coherence between the two. Through simple, science‑backed techniques, individuals, teams, and organizations can learn to:
- regulate emotions under pressure
- build resilience and focus
- strengthen communication and collaboration
- make decisions from a place of calm and confidence

The best part? These skills are learnable- By everyone — and they can shift how we move through every moment of life, work, and relationship.

If you’re curious what HeartMath could look like for you, your community groups or your organization's teams, let’s connect.

Dude. I did it. 🎉

I have been talking about Anger this month (slowly but surely) and there are topics within I have't gotten to yet....

While doom scrolling this morning, I came across this reel that so BEAUTIFULLY expresses some observations about anger.

Processing what lies beneath anger can feel messy. Having a safe place to sift through those layers with someone neutral can be very beneficial to supporting your healing process, your efforts to manage the emotion when it comes up, and putting all the new pieces into practice.

If you, or someone you love and care for, could benefit from support like this, feel free to share with them my blog posts, my social media posts and maybe even an encouraging word. I'm happy to listen to your story and share how the tools in my tool box can support you!

I have had quite a few people reach out to me the past couple of weeks or so asking:

"Why is a massage therapist talking about anger and not massage?"

Valid ask.

Short answer with a bit of sass:
Because I feel like it.

Slightly longer answer:
Because for 90 minutes I work with clients 1:1 to help them through the tension building in their bodies- to help them feel lighter, more fluid and at ease....ANGER is one of the emotions that is bursting out of some of them, squashed down by others, and simmering in the rest.

and

a client came to me specifically asking for anger support.

I'm a certified HeartMath Health professional specializing in Emotional Regulation- I've got the skills to help guide you out of what is exhausting you!

So- HERE is a link to my blog about ANGER:

And I got a bit carried away on Canva today, so enjoy this little picture show.

Let me know if you learned something new!

Just a little blip about Anger for today. You can read my Blog Post about here: https://jennyodell.me/blog/getting-a-bit-angry-are-we

And I will be back with more later on!

In the mean time- I would love to get a list going in the comments: What makes you angry? I'll go first ⬇️

I know talking about emotions and self regulation isn't the sexiest of topics... but... (as your local Eliot, Maine Bowenwork Practitioner and Emotion/Stress Regulation Mentor!)

I'm going to talk about it anyway.

I work on people's bodies all the live long day at my home practice, and some of you may have noticed I've been moonlighting back at Riverside Chiropractic Center (on Tuesdays). Some are working on a particular issue like knee replacements, sciatica pain and chronic migraine relief... But most are just

Wanting to relax.

To escape.

To reset.

To be anywhere but in reality.

These are just a few of the regular responses I get from clients week after week when I ask them: "What would you like to receive from this session" or " How do you want to feel when at the close of this session?"

Clients are escaping from chronic pain, grief, anxiety, overworking, broken boundaries, overwhelming mental load, intense relationships with family, broken relationships with spouses, caring for elderly parents, hectic schedules leading to the only rest time they can find is either on my table or when they are sleeping and they find that they aren't even getting much of that!

If you have read this far- Think about it for a moment.

Maybe you don't get a massage or a Bowenwork session to relax, reset or escape your reality for a bit, but I bet there is something you do to get a similar result.

Doom scroll maybe? Go for a walk? Work out? Cancel every plan on your calendar just to avoid people? Eat ice cream? Indulge in a cocktail or 3? Pick up another shift and or some overtime to avoid being home?

While there are MANY reasons for us to want to escape and many avenues we can take- some healthy, some not so much- in my experience- they are all attempts to stop an energy drain.

The biggest drain you have that will either kick you into high or low stress gear is your emotions.

Wouldn't you like to learn a bit on how to plug that drain and feel your inner battery full of life again?

I finally wrote a blog on Anger. Would love to know what you think.

Have you struggled with Anger in your life? If you are a human I can bet any money the answer is YES! And I’m here to break it down a little bit for you to help you understand what is going on in your body when anger takes over your brain. And offer some hope at the end.
