Trauma-informed support & nervous system nourishment for practitioners, survivors and the world we a
03/24/2026
In healing sessions, I like to say: “Take your time.” And I like to mean it.
My Spring SSP Group needs a little more time to gather — so the dates have shifted. We now begin April 8th (Wednesdays, 6:30–8:45PM EST through July 1st).
Nothing is wrong with needing more time to consider something new. A new group, a new practitioner, a new modality. Of course you need time.
Two people are in. Four spots are open. And you have a little more time to decide.
Swipe to read more — and find the link to apply in my bio. 🌷

The SSP is not about being safe and relaxed all of the time.
It’s about letting fight/flight show up without shame. Spending our spoons differently. Noticing if we’re reacting to the present moment or an older trauma response.
And sure, you will probably experience more ease, less anxiety, deeper sleep, fewer nightmares — I could go on!
But don’t get it twisted. Relaxing isn’t the only goal.
Curious what an SSP journey might do for your nervous system? My April 8 SSP group is open — reach out to book a connection call. 🔗🫶🥰

I live in Maine, and we have this thing called false spring. 😒🌷It happens every year, usually in March. The snow and ice melts and the weather warms up and it feels like winter is over, but then winter comes back. ❄️😩
I’ve been here for awhile, so I know the deal. This year, I told myself that I would have a light touch about when spring came. But in reality, it’s still hard to see snow. (And it’s snowing today!!)
This is a lot like the people I work with.
They tell themselves that because the traumatic experience is over, they should feel better. But the hypervigilance sticks around and the nightmares haven’t stopped. Their body doesn’t feel as safe as their brain knows that they are. ❤️🩹
Trauma healing takes more than just mindset work. We must connect with the nervous system for lasting change to occur.
If you are ready to stop clocking every exit and dreading nightmarish sleep, apply for my spring SSP Group. We start April 8th. Link in bio to learn more, apply, and book a connection call to feel out if this is for you. 🫶🌷

I never expected this to happen, but when I did the SSP (over three years ago!) my biggest shift was in my attachment systems and navigating conflict, rupture and uncertainty.
Because of formative and ongoing childhood experiences, conflict did not feel safe to my nervous system. Let’s not gaslight myself here, it *literally wasn’t safe* for a long time to my body and nervous system. And so of course I held onto that.
But through the SSP, something changed. The changes in my attachment system are lasting, three years later.
Curious what might change for you in an SSP Group? Our April 8th start group has 4 spaces left. Link in bio to learn more, apply and book a connection call to see if it’s the right fit and right time for you.
Rooting for your healing,
Jess

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you were harmed by the people who were supposed to take care of you, it’s common to blame yourself. If you feel this way, please know that you’re not the only one. ☔️🌷

Following a career in social work and after 700 hours of bodywork education that felt too narrow and judgmental to meet clients in post-traumatic states, I felt called to cultivate a practice for clients who have lived through traumatic events. In my own healing experience, I have learned that being with the body is a catalyst for healing.
Soft Path Healing is a space for those who have experienced trauma - you will be held gently, respectfully, and compassionately in every step of your healing journey. As both a client and a practitioner of this work, I am honored to be part of your process. Dissociation, flight or freeze instincts, BIG feelings and your story (keyword: yours) are all welcome here - there is space for you and your many layers.
I am a gentle healing presence, ready to sit with whatever is alive in you.
I believe in the wisdom of your body and all of the ways you have survived.
I am intuitive with listening hands and a grounded energy.
I am steeped in the latest neuroscience and I believe the so-called unbelievable. Feet on the ground, head in the clouds - yes.
I will never (ever ever) say your pain or trauma is a gift.
I believe our healing work must also reach for justice for marginalized folks (BIPOC, LGBTQ+, differently abled), otherwise what are we doing?
