Rest & Restore

Intuitively guided, bespoke bodywork & yoga sessions to support your whole being.

Offerings

Following the flow of each session, I pull from a variety of modalities - craniosacral therapy, reflexology, myofascial unwinding, aromatherapy, warm stones & more. I’m happy to fold any of these into your session by request.

Rates

My rates are $120 for a 60-minute session tailored to your needs, and $160 for a 90-minute Grief Tending Session. A Community Care Fund and 10% discount for single parents help make bodywork financially accessible for more people.

With 25 years of experience as a bodyworker and yoga teacher, I created Wisteria Moon Bodywork and Yoga studio to connect people with their innate wholeness and ability to heal. I’ve lived in and loved Olympia, WA, for 25 years.

  • Yes, you can be fully clothed for any session. Please wear comfortable clothing you can rest in.

  • My practice is inclusive and affirming for everyone. I welcome you to share as much or as little as you want with me in order to help you feel comfortable during your session.

  • There is one step going into the studio. There is also one step up to get into the house where the bathroom is located. I am happy to help wheelchair users access the studio and restroom.

  • I don’t use any artificial fragrances and will always accommodate folks who have fragrance sensitivity, ensuring the space is free of potential triggers before and during sessions. If needed, I can schedule fragrant-sensitive clients at least 24 hours after sessions that include essential oils, etc.

  • Our classes intend to be gentle and inviting to your whole self. You could come and simply rest in community and/or move and stretch your body with care and curiosity. I lay out single mats before class and you are welcome to bring your own mat to layer on top if you wish. There are some cushions and blankets, but again, you are welcome to bring your own. 

    The studio is small, so if you come in person, it’s cozy! There is the option of zoom for most of the classes if you prefer to practice from home.

    Some people may have had a negative experience at a health club, yoga class or even going for a massage for various reasons. Often there is an air of biased cultural norms that  simply put, out of alignment with true health and well-being. 

    There are excellent principles set out by Health At Every Size (HAES), an international movement to promote well-being by celebrating body diversity, honoring people’s lived experiences and intuitive body knowledge, and focusing on joyful movement. These principles are in alignment with the space we want to co-create together. 

    • Celebrate body diversity

    • Honor differences in size, age, race, ethnicity, gender, dis/ability, sexual orientation, religion, class and other human attributes

    • Challenge scientific and cultural assumptions about weight and body size

    • Value body knowledge and people’s lived experiences

    • Find the joy in moving one’s body and being physically active

    • Eat in a flexible and attuned manner that values pleasure and honors internal cues of hunger, satiety and appetite, while respecting the social conditions that frame eating options

  • Yes! We have options using zoom and we can also record classes so that if you can’t make it, you can get a recording to do on your own time.

“A gifted healer, Jessica embodies an unyielding capacity to understand and attune to both physical and emotional-spiritual needs during the healing process. She is firmly rooted in love and acceptance, and adept at employing a variety of strategies to track symptoms to their source, creating space for wellbeing to unfurl in place of tension and constriction. Jessica's agility at cultivating healing space, both internally and externally, brings me back to her studio regularly, and I find myself relying on her presence as an inner resource during various practices on my healing journey.”
