Hello, and welcome to my corner of the internet. I'm jasmeet!
I used to work in biomedical research and data analysis, but the pandemic left me wanting to do work that was in-person and embodied. I was also reading a lot of books about the centrality of the body in mental health and trauma healing as part of my personal journey of healing complex trauma and anxiety. All of this led me to pursue training in massage and bodywork and to eventually open my own practice.
I love bodywork because the session provides a ritualized container that creates the opportunity for radical presence – an invitation to disengage from mental chatter and return more fully to the body and to the present moment.
I received my massage training at Spirit Wellness Institute in Salem, MA. I have training in the John Barnes method of myofascial release (MFR 1, MFR 2, myofascial unwinding), I am certified in manual lymphatic drainage through the Academy of Lymphatic Studies (ACOLS), and I am a certified personal trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). I have training in somatic trauma healing and mind-body coaching through The Embody Lab and Usui Reiki (level 1) with Gurdeep Bhogal at Parinama Healing.
I also hold a BA from Swarthmore College (biology major, psychology minor) and an MS in biostatistics from Boston University.
