“I believe in the body’s intrinsic ability to heal itself and I use bodywork as a tool to facilitate that healing. With help, every body will reorganize itself in order to promote optimal function and pain-free movement.” JP

Career Summary:
After a moped accident in 2005, Jessica’s life was transformed by healing body work.
