Often times, people ask me if I treat babies only. The answer is, no.

I am blessed to treat both adults and pediatrics. Working over the last 20 years, I could never decide which group of patients I wanted to treat. I like adults for some reasons and babies and kids for other reasons. The truth is, I just want to help people improve their quality of life and function. I have worked in many different settings including 2 outpatient private practices, hospital outpatient, neurological based outpatient, acute care/in patient hospital, public schools, private schools for children with multiple disabilities and/or autistic spectrum diagnoses, Early Intervention, Visiting Nurses Association home care, and my private practice. All of these have afforded me the opportunity to work with both adults and pediatrics.

Circling back to the question if I just treat pediatrics...my practice is pediatric heavy. I love babies and children so much. Sometimes the ratio is 95% pediatrics and 5% adults. For this week, the pendulum has really swung a great deal. This week, my practice is 58% adults of which 57% of that number are parents and some are even grandparents. The reason I am sharing this is because I am so happy that adults are starting to realize the value in this work and making the time to take care of themselves. As we shift as adults and parents, we change our families. We change those around us. With the work for adults, it can range from regulating the Central Nervous System, decreasing stress, helping with pain, helping with neurological conditions and significant medical diagnoses, supporting the body post surgery, and so many other things. Trauma work is a big part of my practice and healing is patient driven using somatoemotional release techniques. Our bodies are meant to be in homeostasis; sometimes, we just need some hands on to support it.

Today was a beautiful day. I am so grateful that I was able to provide pro bono treatment sessions to 10 patients.

A couple people asked me today why do I do it? Why provide free treatment? Since I have had my office, people have had things to say about my pro bono days.... don't offer things for free, people won't value your services....you are devaluing yourself....you're crazy, no one works for free...why would you waste your time when you don't need business...what's the point...why do you do it????

These are all great points. I do it because I want to. God gave me these gifts and sometimes it is truly just fun for me to give freely. It's almost like a thank you for these gifts for me and a gratitude to those who seek my care.

If you have ever stepped foot in my office, you know the feeling, the look, the energy....you know what it feels like to be heard, to be held, to be supported, and to know what it is like to have someone genuinely care. To the very core of my being, I do. I give because I want to, because this is all I got, and guess what? It truly is life altering.

Also, in this early Thanksgiving post, thank you to my parents for their support in my education, my professors, my instructors, Dr. John Upledger, my classmates, my friends, my colleagues, those who treat me and keep me sane, to my children who understand that sometimes other people will come before them, and thank you the most to my patients. It is through you, my patients, that I have learned to be a better therapist and I pray I have helped you and your family.

Tonight I will sleep knowing that:
-truly in sharing that we heal
-in hands on work we can find homeostasis and move out of fight or flight
-the nervous system is the key
-with love, safety, and respect all things are possible

Thank you for your support of me and my practice. May health and healing find you wherever you are.❤️🙏

It all starts with your nervous system. Everything is impacted by your neurological well-being. Most people are operating in chronic states of depletion due to being stuck in a dysregulated state - many in fight or flight or freeze. Many are trying to achieve health and wellness with the latest supplements and the latest detox protocols. The truth is that, although these can be extremely helpful, if your nervous system is dysregulated, it will only help so much.

Optimizing your nervous system (brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, and spinal nerves) and the muscles, bones, tissue, fascia, cerebral spinal fluid mobility, and lymphatic drainage are essential to health. Our bodies cannot separate the physical, emotional, and spiritual. We are one. One who exists in a challenging environment with many obstacles. Trauma can breed illness and dysfunction.

The good news is there are people out there to help. Practitioners, like myself, who want nothing more than to help you and your family. The joy it brings me to watch patients move through barriers to their health is without words. It is what I was put here to do. Praise God for that.

My gratitude for the gifts that I have been given is endless and for those who have educated me along the way, teachers and patients alike. Thank you.

On November 16, I am offering another Pro Bono Day. Sorry that it has been a bit of a pause. If you are over 18 years old and have never experienced the magic of CranioSacral Therapy and are interested, please contact Jessica at connectivityoffice@gmail.com to schedule a free 30 minute session to experience this work. In my opinion, it is life altering, life saving, healing, and a pathway to wellness. Spaces are limited and if it doesn't work out this time, next time.

See you on the table soon. Your nervous system would love it. Promise. ❤️

With gratitude,
Dr. Jackie

If you are local, consider coming out on Wednesday night to help support the mission of Spectrum Tech Village and Trade School. I am happy to serve as the Vice President on the Board and want this idea to come to fruition.

To do that, this non profit needs your support. We want to help the ever rising community of neurodivergent children and young adults to live independent and joyful lives. Through a holistic, multi modality, multi discipline approach to learning and developing, honoring physical and emotional well being, Spectrum will equip students with the skills and confidence, with guidance and support, to achieve their highest potential.

Come out Wednesday, I would love to talk more!

Come join us & celebrate diversity and autism acceptance while raising money for our programs. Can't attend click tickets and choose donate.

What would it be like to carve out a few hours a day for just for a few days just for you? A time for you to process, unravel, find homeostasis, and heal. How would it help you in your life if you could release some of the baggage you are carrying around? Would things feel easier for you? Lighter? How would your energy change if your nervous system was given the opportunity through hands on care to be supported? If you had the chance to allow yourself this opportunity, what would happen? How would your family and friends around you shift in response to your improved, calmer, and more regulated state? What would that be like?

Curious about this...let's talk about how a CranioSacral Therapy intensive could be helpful for you, for your family, for your career, for your physical, emotional, and spiritual health, for your future...it's up to you...I'm here.❤

Let's do this...
