Why holistic healing?
Because talk therapy isn't always enough.
Our bodies are constantly sending us messages, not only to meet our physiological needs but also to meet our emotional, spiritual and relational needs. These messages can be experienced as tightness, constriction, heaviness and other bodily sensations. If we ignore the body's messages for too long, they can become repressed and eventually manifest as illness, injury or distress.
How does stress impact mental health?
Persistent stress and unresolved trauma throw the body's autonomic nervous system out of balance, leading to
hyper-arousal (overactive "fight/flight" response) causing increased nervousness, anxiety, or irritability
or
hypo-arousal (shutdown or "freeze" response) causing emotional numbness, exhaustion, dissociation or depression.
Until the nervous system is guided into the restorative state of "rest and digest," the body will continue to call out for attention like a neglected child crying for a warm embrace.
What do we all need in order to heal from physical illness or injury? That's right—REST. The same is true for our mental health. ♥
What if I am unable to rest?
Then, you are not alone, and you've come to the right place.
Most people in today's world find it challenging to still their bodies and quiet their minds. Society has conditioned us to stay busy and productive, so many of us have forgotten how to rest. But, don't worry. It's not too late. Our bodies remember how.

About Me
Hi! I'm Jessica Hagy (she/her). It is my heartfelt calling to help people relieve suffering and discover how they can heal and find meaning through the experiences they've endured.
By learning how to turn toward my own suffering with curiosity and compassion, I have experienced an inner freedom I never imagined was possible.
A Note on Inclusivity . . .
While I appreciate and celebrate diversity and inclusivity in its many facets, I also acknowledge that I am continually learning how to be more curious, understanding and supportive of perspectives beyond my scope of experience. Please feel free to be your authentic self and bring to my attention any questions or concerns you have related to being fully welcomed in this space.
A Note on Spirituality . . .
My heart resonates with the perspective that we are spiritual beings having a human experience and that spirituality is an active engagement with the mysterious essence of Life. When connecting with me, you can expect to be supported in your own spiritual exploration rather than steered toward any particular system of beliefs. The ever-evolving applications of yoga, meditation and reiki are not bound by any particular belief system and can be practiced by individuals of any age, ability, background or identity. Many people find that these holistic practices enhance a deeper connection with and clarity of their sense of meaning and interconnectedness with all of life.

What is iRest® Yoga Nidra Meditation?
iRest® is a form of yoga meditation called yoga nidra often called, "the sleep of the yogis," as it takes us to a place between sleep and awake where deep healing can occur.
Guided iRest® (Integrative Restoration) is typically practiced in a lying down position with supports of pillows and blankets to allow the body to deeply relax, the breath to flow freely and the mind to settle into a state of calm.
iRest helps to
shift the nervous system from stress mode to restorative mode,
increase self-awareness and
resolve habits and cycles that perpetuate suffering.
What is Reiki?
Pronounced RAY-KEY, Reiki is a Japanese healing art that has ancient roots through-out the world. It is based on the belief that our body has an innate ability to heal itself.
During a Reiki session, a practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above the client's body, enhancing the flow of life force energy. It is a gentle and non-intrusive method that can support one’s healing intentions while providing deep relaxation and relief of pain and stress.
As you rest and connect, you may feel a slight tingling, heat, coolness, other sensations or nothing at all, depending upon how your body senses energy at the time. You may feel increased relaxation, focus or peace and calm in your mind.
What is Restorative Yoga?
Restorative yoga is very different from the active forms of movement yoga. It involves resting in a supportive nest of yoga blankets and props arranged to help soothe and purify the nervous system, release holdings in the body and mind, and cultivate feelings of bliss.
Most people report a quieting of the mind, deep relaxation in the body and a natural connection with the stillness and peace that abides within.
