Have a seat and let’s chat!
Hi! I’m Jamie and I am a 200hr E-RYT, Breathwork Facilitator, Microdosing Mentor, Retreat Host, and Author. I am also a mother of an 8yo boy who thinks he’s a dinosaur, a lover of nature, travel, and all things 70’s.
I help others who are ready to make big change and step into their most authentically expressed, embodied and ALIVE life. Within my many offerings I create safe + transformative community spaces for others to explore the wisdom of their body, learn to regulate their nervous system, and anchor a deep sense of safety within. It is through this return to relationship to self that you reconnect to your innate worthiness, you can feel your own love + safety+ support like it was coming from the most important person in the world. When our sense of self is grounded from within... we move through the world different.
Let’s go a little deeper. . .
As I continued down that path, many of the ways I once left my body began to fall away. Through Yoga I found breathwork, and started diving deep into the nervous system. By 2021 I was a certified Breathwork facilitator with Our Breath Collective. I continued to consume everything about all of my passions which led me to microdosing mushrooms. The experience of reconnection was profound. I immediately enrolled in courses and read all the books I could find.
I was learning so much about myself and the things that I loved. It was bringing me so much JOY to share and witness others benefiting from these practices as well. In 2021 though, I went through a very dark-night-of-the-soul-moment. Everything compounded at once. I ended a toxic relationship that had been draining my life force, I had to move my son and I home, was still not able to do the things I loved for a living because hairdressing was the only thing that paid the bills. It was the perfect storm to send me right into an existential depression. Would it be wild if I said this was the best thing to every happen to me?
Let me explain. I went from not being able to get out of my bed and life has no meaning to— I am the one who creates the meaning and my perspective matters and in fact, it’s the most important perspective of all. I came alive in a new way. Because of my foundation in polyvagal theory, Yoga, breathwork + new found interest in mushrooms… I came to my own rescue. I feel more connected to myself than ever before and that relationship just gets stronger and deeper every time I choose myself. Now I live a life where I am helping others choose themselves as well.
I see now how this early life of disconnection was only a very important detour. One that I have now paved way for others who find themselves on a similar path. The home within my body has never left me and it hasn’t left you either. It has been waiting to be rekindled, to come alive and to have you take a safe and comfy permanent seat.
I love you.
Jamie
Even when I was a child, I often felt as if I didn’t belong. I was for sure undiagnosed ADHD and was always hearing some form of the following: you’re “too messy- too fat, too opinionated, too weird-too much and not enough all at once. I had a few close friends, but I struggled to connect with others the majority of the time—even my own family.
When we are children and do not receive the message that we are innately worthy just for existing, we start to form the belief that who we are is wrong; We then start to head down the path of disconnection. We fragment and abandon our truth to try to source that love from others. As a result, I lived much of my life in a way where self abandonment was the norm, in my choices, in my relationships- you name it and I definitely was not choosing myself. To disconnect is how my body learned to be safe.
2016-2017 was a whirlwind of change for me. One day while in the gym [trying to burn off the calories of binge drinking and eating] the opportunity presented itself to me to take a yoga class. I’m telling you, it became an instant love affair. For the first time ever I found away to move my body that felt curious and playful. Sign me up. I couldn’t learn enough about ALL of Yoga and by the end of 2017 I was certified to teach and on the road… to re-discovery.
