About Me
Jenny Love, CMT, MLD
I found bodywork while in the depths of my journey through chronic illness and nervous system dysregulation. After trying to force my body into healing for many years, desperate to escape my symptoms, bodywork me showed a gentler (and far more effective) path.
In periods of deep fatigue, receiving bodywork was one of the only ways I felt like I got a break, the only time I felt like I was getting true rest. Being held by trusted practitioners gave me access to a safe, supportive, co-regulated space—here I found I could finally slow down enough to be in my body, to feel actual peace and comfort, after my body being a place of struggle and discomfort for so many years. I began to trust that my body was capable of healing and was healing in each moment.
It is my hope with my practice to help you remember—your body is designed to heal and will heal when it feels safe and resourced. I hope to hold you in a fully inclusive space of care and attunement, guiding you into the state where your deepest healing is possible. I hope to support you on your journey and invite you to trust that when it feels safe to let go of what its holding on to, your body will return to freedom, flow, and ease.
I have spent many years learning as much as I can about the complex, beautiful, nuanced, adaptable, wildly intelligent, and mysterious thing that is the body and the nervous system. My bodywork practice was built upon a foundation of studies in breathwork, polyvagal theory, Reiki, Western herbalism, and over 1000 hours of yoga teacher training, 500 hours of which I completed in Northern India.
Finding my path as a bodyworker was one of the greatest blessings of my life. Outside of sharing my passion for my work, I am most myself when on long walks with expansive views, floating in the ocean, and deep in conversation with loved ones.
