Jolene Kelley

«The human body is a machine which winds its own springs.» ~Julien Offray de la Mettrie (1748)
While I’m no Hedonist (despite all evidence to the contrary), and I roundly dispute the mechanistic view of the human body, Monsieur Julien should be commended for two things:
One, defending the idea that the mind can affect, even heal the body. And two, pissing off the entire Enlightenment establishment. Dude fled to Prussia, torches and pitchforks not far behind. He later died from an overindulgence of pâte. And also probably Prussian maidens.
… Which brings me to shiatsu. It’s a type of massage that’s more about pressure points and energy flow than separating the individuals fibers of your muscles with motions of blinding pain. (I’m not a fan of Swedish massage.) Shiatsu relaxes the body, supporting your natural healing processes. Helps wind your springs.
That is, if you can find someone to do the winding. Jolene has the hands you need. And maybe the occasional knee.

Under the description for healer in the dictionary they should show a picture of Joleen. She has the most incredible, strong and powerful healing energy I have ever experienced in any body work. Her intuition for where to focus to make the most of her time has been consistently spot on. I never feel rushed and although there are times I would like to just live on her table I have always felt content, cared for and satisfied at the end of my time spent with Joleen. This is not a sports massage. This is energetic, healing body work at its absolute best.
