Trusting the Tides bodywork

feel freer in your body.

Chronic stress and tension disconnect us from our inner knowing and our ability to thrive. I offer safe and attuned touch therapy on land and in water to support you on your healing journey.

 

Through the power of deep listening, embodied presence, and gentle touch, my intention is to help you feel safer and freer in your body and in your life.

craniosacral
therapy

Guided by your body's wisdom, I use mobilization techniques and supportive holds to address blocks in the fluid + connective tissue network and energy field of the body, brain and spinal cord. We will sense into your internal rhythms (or tides) to help your nervous system and ease tension.

integrative
bodywork

I offer customized swedish, shiatsu, craniosacral and/or cupping integrative sessions to help address whatever is present in your body. Feel free to comment when booking if you have specific preferences.

I offer aquatic therapy in a 97°F warm water sanctuary amongst redwoods in Oakland. You will be supported floating and guided through movements and stillness that can support nervous system regulation and deep healing.

However you show up to a session is perfect. All of you belongs here. This is an inclusive space for all bodies, races, and genders.

your body knows

I will invite you to turn inward and share what is alive for you and what might feel most helpful. I support you in trusting whatever is present and allowing that to unfold how it needs to.

safe & supported

I try to make the experience a warm cocoon of support in which I am not doing things to you, but rather assisting you in your process. We go at your pace to ensure safety is felt in your body.

empowered

Although this is a bodywork session, there is no need for silence. This is your time and space. I encourage and support you in speaking up in whatever ways feel right.

"I could not have anticipated how deeply healing this experience would be. Jac's support helped me work through a physical and emotional block that had been affecting me for weeks. Her gentle presence created a healing space for me to reconnect with my body. More than a week has passed and I still feel physically, emotionally, and spiritually free."

Growing up, I didn't feel safe in my home or in my body. It wasn’t until I started to repair my nervous system and feel safety in my body that I could start the deep healing I longed for to live more freely. I am a Certified Massage Therapist specializing in craniosacral therapy and trauma-sensitive bodywork.

I humbly share this offering with deep reverence for the land where I stand and the waters that sustain my life and all life on our planet. The land where I practice is unceded Lisjan Ohlone land. As an act of reparation and respect, shuumi is paid to support Sogorea Te’, an urban Indigenous women-led land trust based in the San Francisco Bay Area that facilitates the return of Indigenous land to Indigenous people.
