We often forget the mind and body are deeply intertwined, each reflecting and shaping the other in a dance of sensation, emotion, and awareness. When we intentionally listen to the body, we uncover the stories it holds, allowing us to heal, grow, and move through life with greater presence.
Via the innovative in person or digital “Ground and Grow Program with Jenni Miller-James,” you can experience collaborative and individualized coaching and support in building mindfulness skill with a holistic, body-centered approach that integrates present-moment awareness to support emotional regulation, self-discovery, and overall well-being. This approach helps individuals cultivate a deeper connection with their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations, fostering greater self-awareness and resilience.
Techniques, such as breathwork, meditation, and guided visualization, encourage individuals to observe their experiences without judgment, reducing stress and promoting clarity. Somatic practices focus on tuning into bodily sensations, movement, and nervous system regulation to process emotions and release stored tension. Together, these methods empower individuals to navigate challenges with greater ease, enhance emotional regulation, and develop a stronger mind-body connection for lasting transformation.
Yoga and massage are powerful tools for developing somatic awareness, the practice of attuning to bodily sensations, emotions, and patterns of tension or holding.
Yoga enhances somatic awareness by integrating mindful movement, breathwork, and stillness. Through intentional postures and breath control, individuals can deepen their connection to bodily sensations, recognize areas of tension or restriction, and develop a greater sense of embodiment. Slow, mindful movement allows for the exploration of physical and emotional experiences, fostering self-regulation and resilience.
Massage therapy supports somatic awareness by engaging the nervous system through therapeutic touch. By working with the body's fascia, muscles, and energetic pathways, massage helps individuals notice where they hold tension, release stored stress, and cultivate a deeper sense of presence. Gentle, intentional touch can facilitate emotional processing and relaxation, allowing the body to unwind and integrate experiences.
Together, yoga and massage create a holistic approach to increasing body awareness, releasing stored tension, and promoting a sense of safety and connection within the body.

I proudly train massage therapists how to perform the healing art of barefoot massage, with influences from a wide range of world traditions. Explore upcoming classes, workshops, and private lessons.
Massage with the feet, commonly known as Ashiatsu or barefoot massage, is a therapeutic technique in which the practitioner uses their feet instead of their hands to apply deep, broad, and consistent pressure to the body. This method allows for a smoother, more even pressure distribution, making it particularly effective for relieving deep muscle tension and promoting overall relaxation.
