Jennifer’s Story
After battling neck and shoulder tension, desk hunch, eye strain, headaches, and other tech-neck-related symptoms for nearly a decade in her fast-paced but sedentary publishing career, Jennifer made it her life’s mission to support people experiencing the detrimental effects of prolonged computer and desk work.
She spent the ensuing years studying functional anatomy and kinesiology, myofascial release, postural alignment and movement practices, yoga therapy ball work, mindfulness, breathwork, and other supports for the tangible and spiritual bodies, with particular attention paid to methods that soothe the upper body (head, neck, shoulders, jaw, arms, wrists, hands, upper back, and chest), as well as the frazzled nervous system as a whole.
Most recently, Jennifer completed her certification in Craniosacral Therapy (CST), a gentle, fully clothed treatment that helps release tension from the nervous system and fascia using primarily light touch and consistently deep presence. Now available to both new and returning clients, CST may support relief from long-held tension patterns, headaches, chronic fatigue, tech neck, nervous system overwhelm, and more — bringing about deep relaxation, mental clarity, and a renewed sense of balance in the body.
These days, Jennifer still works as a professional proofreader and copy editor, but she has learned to balance intensive screen time with sit/stand breaks, better ergonomics and postural supports, and a healthier, more active lifestyle.
For both new and returning clients, Jennifer offers Craniosacral Therapy, Sunbright Face+Scalp Massages, Roll+Release Self-Massage Tutorials (utilizing yoga therapy balls to release myofascial tightness and tension), and Calming Yoga Sessions in her sunlit studio in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood.
Jennifer also brings to the table a variety of tension-taming offerings for returning clients only, including Therapeutic Relaxation Massage, Cupping Massage, and seasonal Hot Stone Massage (offered October through April).
Regardless of appointment type, each session is designed to support you to drop into your breath + body, let go of tension, and begin to feel better.
Upon working with Jennifer, clients have reported decreased muscle tightness, reduced stress, increased focus, improved posture + range of motion (ROM), better sleep, the ability to breathe more fully and deeply, a holistic sense of wellbeing, and enhanced performance in all facets of life.

“My first Craniosacral session with Jennifer felt very gentle and calming. While I didn’t experience a big emotional release, there was a moment when she worked on my right glute where I felt a shift—my eyes started to water unexpectedly. It felt like something might be moving in that area, even if subtly. The environment felt safe and supportive, and I left feeling more grounded and curious about what future sessions might unlock.”
