Jamie's Mission

My mission is to make the world a better place...not through political mechanisms or social transformation but at the individual level of whole health. My belief is that this "better place" starts with each of us becoming healthier, happier, and in harmony with our authentic, infinite self. One person becoming healthy and whole creates a ripple that spreads out first to our families, then to our communities, and slowly out to the larger world. One person at a time CAN make a difference. As each person steps into and lives from a space of health and harmony, so, too, can we create a healthy and harmonious world.

Self-care is the foundation for your health but is not something readily taught or available (I capitalize Self to reflect the total self (the integrated aspects of body, mind, and spirit that makes up our whole being). Although you will use a variety of external resources to support your journey, it is how you live and what you do day in and day out that truly creates health. My goal is to share the knowledge and tools of Self-care to all. My individual mission is to empower you through greater awareness of your self and your patterns, new resources, and increased confidence to know how to take care of yourself on all levels of body, mind and spirit in order to live a life of health and harmony.

Jamie's Philosophy

I believe that your natural state of being is one of health. Health is more than a condition of the physical body - it is a reflection of harmony within the total Self in which the internal energies flow freely. Imbalances build within the total Self through unconscious and outdated habits, through unprocessed and unconsciously held trauma, and from unconscious agreements with cultural and family expectations. It is the unconscious state of walking through life that prevents you from connecting to the wisdom, cues and power that is already within you. You are a unique individual and will be treated as one. I do not believe in a single set of answers or cookie cutter approach to wellness. Rather I have a set of tools to explore, skills to evaluate your uniqe condition, and an open mind to hear your needs.

I provide a bridge for you to learn how to access the valuable wisdom and inner resources of your Self. The imbalances and restrictions which are blocking the flow of your natural energies can be balanced, removed, and healed. Bringing your unconscious patterns into the light of mindful awareness is the first step to empowering your journey to health and harmony. From over 20 years of bodymind exploration and experience, I blend a variety of tools and techniques from the disciplines of CranioSacral therapy, Kundalini yoga, massage therapy, life coaching, and Ayurveda to support you in developing a transformative partnership with your total Self and master the art of Self-care.

Jamie's Story

Learning to live in connection and harmony with your total Self can change your entire life including your bank account!). I know firsthand.

I used to live from a place of scarcity. I was born a miser and just balancing my check book used to turn my stomach in knots. I wasn't even aware of how I was restricting my energies, both in my profession as well as with my husband and children. This imbalance also affected how I felt about myself, my body and my life. I spent 7 years struggling with compulsive overeating in high school and college and even after I stopped engaging in the destructive habits, I spent several more years understanding the nature of that mental patterning and, more importantly, how to change it.

My journey of inner expansion began years ago when I entered massage school, which marked the start of my professional and personal journey of health and self discovery. However, what sky-rocketed my transformational process was my committed to hold a meditation for 1000 days for prosperity at the beginning of my yoga teacher training. With just three minutes a day, the days flew by and I became blessed with ongoing professional opportunities, doubling my salary one year, moving into a new place of honor and acceptance for myself and my husband, and living life in a harmonious and powerful way.

Along the way of those 1000 days, I discovered my lack of prosprerity wasn't about money, it was about self trust and scarcity. And what I gained was more than financial freedom; it was the deep acceptance, love and understanding of who I am and what I uniquely need. This self knowledge and love gave me the ability to live in alignment with my truth and prosperity flowed into my whole life.

From this space of absolute self-truth, I had the courage to become a solopreneur in the truest sense and step powerfully into the space of not only sharing my gifts as a Holistic Wellness Coach but in having the faith and trust to run my own prosperous business. And as far as my health goes, I have never in my entire life been healthier. Gone are both the physical and mental habits of compulsive eating. I am rarely sick and, when I am, I use the opportunity to clarify what is imbalanced and to ask myself, "What do I need to pay attention to?" Coming back into balance is now a simple process of making small adjustments and knowing what tools I need to use in any given moment. I'm even going through the fun hormonal changes with ease - my yoga has taken away the optical migraines and the menstrual imbalances. I am fit, feel good, am living life filled with activities that bring me joy, and have powerful relationship that sustain and nurture me.

I used to think of enlightenment as a mythical end point - one that loomed just out of my reach. This state of enlightenment represented a state of balance but in a static way of completion. I thought if I learned enough, had the perfect yoga practice, and worked hard enough, I would eventually achieve it - and could then cross it off my life "to do" list and move on.

Along the way I discovered that this end point I was searching for doesn't exist because I am always growing, changing and flowing with the external forces in life. My enlightenment can exist in any moment as my state of balance and living true to myself. Life and my enlightened state is actually an ongoing journey of expansion with each day bringing new gifts of awe, joy and wonder. Now, instead of just wanting to get the "job" over and done with, I wake up each morning excited to see what amazing things will show up and unfold in my life.

And you can do this, too, without spending the seventeen years and thousands of dollars of training programs like I did!
