Frequently Asked Questions
What do you mean by BodyMind?
I use the word BodyMind to describe your unified, interconnected, inseparable nature as a human which consists
of
the body, mind and spirit/energy. For ease of use, I have shortened these three aspects into the word BodyMind. Understanding how these parts of you
interact is critical to your journey back to your natural state of health and harmony.
"Ultimately, my work together with Jamie enables me to strengthen my connection to the divine, allowing me to more often be the
mother/sister/partner/friend I hope to be!" Kimberly Walbrun
What is BodyMind Coaching?
BodyMind Coaching is a partnership in which I support you in clarifying and successfully reaching your health & life goals. To do this
I hold the neutral space for you to explore your patterns, restrictions and your truth in a safe and supported environment. To expand your awareness,
I act as a reflective mirror to help you gain new insights and perspectives and to hear what you are "saying" both verbally and non-verbally. And
while expanded awareness is helpful, I know that you are looking for powerful results. To support taking your clarity into creation, I assist you in
designing the action steps you want to take to best meet your goals and act as your accountability partner and best cheerleader. In BodyMind Coaching, I assist you in developing a partnership with your BodyMind.
Using the physical body as the main conduit of information from your BodyMind, I assist you in learning how to understand these vital
messages and develop a transformational relationship with your inner wisdom. In communicating effectively with your inner wisdom, you gain
access to the inner roadmap to health and harmony.
Since your natural state is already one of health and harmony, our partnership is simply to remove the restrictions and
blocks that are preventing this flow of natural energy. To successfully address multifaceted layers of your patterns, I incorporate a large
repertoire of tools and techniques from my over fifteen years of experience with CranioSacral and Massage Therapy, Kundalini Yoga, Life Coaching,
Reiki and Neuro Linguistic Programming. In addition to increasing mental awareness, I also physically help your body release the excess external
energy from the dramas and traumas and outdated patterns which are stored in the physical tissues.
The overall goal is to clarify the truth of who you are beyond your patterns,
clear the restrictions blocking your natural flow of health, develop patterns and habits and support health instead of creating imbalance,
and live in health and harmony with joy and abundance.
BodyMind coaching sessions can be done in-person or over the phone with powerful and lasting results.
In addition to individual coaching sessions which can be done in-person or over the phone, I also offer the an eight-week structured group program
called "Total Self Mastery" as well as products to support you on a daily basis at home. My goal is not only to help you develop a higher level
of awareness around your patterns and communication with your body mind, but also to empower you with the tools and the skills you need to meet
your ongoing self care needs.
"Your body-mind approach reduced my initial pain 100%! I now have much more awareness of the effect of the
body-mind connection and this has taken me to another level of understanding my body and how to keep it healthy." Cynthia Levy
Who is BodyMind Coaching for?
BodyMind Coaching is for clients suffering from chronic imbalance in their body or their lives. I define chronic imbalance as any physical, mental,
or spiritual condition which persists continously or re-occurs with cyclical regularity and which prevents you from living your life with full health,
abundance, and joy.
BodyMind Coaching is for clients suffering from addiction who are looking for an inside out approach to recovery and balance.
BodyMind Coaching is for clients for teens looking for holistic self care, internal confidence, and tools to live in connection with their whole self.
BodyMind Coaching is for couples wanting to have greater awareness of their joint patterns and to bring harmony to
their relationship by honoring each individual's truth in balance with their partnership.
BodyMind Coaching is for coaches, counselors, therapists, social workers, psychologists, mentors, and wellness professionals who are looking
to learn a different model of healthcare with a refreshing approach to helping clients unlocking their inner wisdom and follow their internal
map to healing.
BodyMind Coaching is for clients who want to gain self trust and confidence in their inner knowing and
to align the external reality of life with the inner truth of the BodyMind. Clients gain support in strengthening the powerful relationship with
their Infinite Self to live an empowered, self directed life of balance and ease.
As a coach, I work with people from diverse backgrounds with unique needs who have one thing in common - the
commitment to turn their passions into reality and thrive in life instead of simply surviving. Wherever you're at on your journey, it is the
place to start - and I'm ready to
meet you wherever you are at.
"Anyone who is going through any kind of chronic pain condition can
benefit from Jamie's work." Susan Tichkowski
Where should I start?
I provide various services and products designed to meet
the logistical, financial, and energetic realities in each changing moment. Start where you are at since it's the only place you are in the
moment!
A Discovery Session is a great way to evaluate where you are at, clarify your
starting point, and experience my style of coaching to see if it is a good fit. Once you are ready to give yourself the gift of commitment to
move forward in bringing healing and harmony to your body and life, The Foundation Package will give you the time and tools to gain awareness and resource,
release restrictions, and create new supportive habits.
If you are looking for tools to support you at home in exploring patterns or staying in health, my
Audio Guided Explorations and Audio Yoga Classes provide the structure and guidance
to keep you on track with your goals. Or if you're ready to master the art of self communication and be your own BodyMind Coach, explore the
"Total Self Mastery" self coaching program in either the class, facilitated or self study formats.
The program is a fabulous opportunity to
gain a strong foundation in learning the language of the Total Self in order to communicate more effectively with yourself and be able to decode the physical symptoms
disrupting your life. You receive a 215 page workbook, 7 guided audio meditations and exploration activities, classes (or class recordings in the faciliated
and self study versions) to learn, explore, be inspired by others' stories, receive mini-coaching sessions, and so much more.
If you have your clarity and need support with clearing restrictions or changing habits in an easy-to-use, timely and efficient manner, explore an
Individual Yoga Session to discover the right yoga set or meditation to fit your specific block.
"When I came in to get some physical relief from exercising too intensely, I wasn't looking for a big shift - but
I ended up there. I was able to explore what was below my restricted breathing and realize that there were other pieces there that had
nothing to do with the physical." SD
Why is it important to first clarify where you are at in terms of your current habits and patterns?
From the time you are born,
you begin creating mental and physical imprints which shape your habits and beliefs. Habits and beliefs are the foundation on which your patterns
are built. However, many of your patterns are less than
optimal because they are based on adaptive responses to past experiences and part of moving forward is letting go of
what no longer serves you. These life experiences, injuries, traumas, and emotions are stored in the
body as tissue memory and energy signature patterns. The subconscious mind reads these signature patterns and acts according to the scripts written even if you
are not consciously living from those old mindsets. In order to release the restrictions, you first need to become aware of them and make a conscious choice
of how your patterns can serve who you are today and who you want to be tomorrow.
"In my very first session with Jamie, I went from being stuck and unable to
make a life-changing decision (which had been haunting me for some time), to becoming empowered with clarity and
self confidence." Mercedes Gallagher
How do I release restrictions in my body?
Because of the layered, multi-textured nature of your patterns which exist on the physical, mental and energetic bodies, it is crucial to release
your restrictions at all levels of the BodyMind. Through my unique BodyMind approach, I assist you in this process. My coaching provides the framework to
increase your awareness and examine your patterns, goals, desires and truths. You begin to observe your beliefs,
both those at a conscious level as well as those hidden beliefs that lurk below the surface. By identifying the beliefs underlying your patterns,
you have the power to evolve your mental patterning and core energies and create a life which expands all your innate potential.
In the body, I assist you to clear out the old messages and beliefs, often created in your childhood, which are no longer needed. I assist the body in releasing old scripts
and signature patterns through CranioSacral Therapy and Kundalini Yoga meditations. Once the restrictions are cleared, the body,
in its infinite wisdom and with the flow of natural energy, can heal itself. I also provide numerous tools and exercises for you to continue to play
with reorganizing and refining your patterns so that they can more effectively support the person you are striving to be.
"My biggest result of working with Jamie is my new understanding that the tightness or problems in my muscles and body isn't permanent;
I no longer need to be afraid of not knowing how to deal with what shows up in my body. Now when I have tension or a problem in my body,
I have the resources and confidence to know what to do to help myself." KV
What is the difference between self care and health care?
I think of these two concepts as interconnected reflections.
In western medicine terms, health care is provided to you as an individual by others to
treat illness and disease. Self care is something you do to assist in the process.
In my view, these concepts are one and the same. In taking care of yourself with whatever
form of care you are guided to do by the inner wisdom, you are taking yourself back
into that natural space of health. Although you might use external tools to keep you healthy,
I believe that the healing power is internal and, therefore, you with your aligned self care are the
ideal health care provider.
