MICHELLE'S TESTIMONIAL
"moments of challenge are now met with a plan of clear action"
Training FP has been a life saver! My pain is significantly reduced. I am substantially more comfortable and joyful in my own body. I have periods of time where I am strain and struggle free. I feel empowered and equipped with how to get my body out of a challenging pattern and into a functional one when that arises. My body is now a source of curiosity, opportunity and power instead of something to recoil from or be burdened with. The moments of challenge are now met with a plan of clear action to get me on the right side - into hope and even exhilaration. Feeling physically light, free, and fluid are of extreme importance to me and FP has got me back to that in a way nothing else has. I am INCREDIBLY thankful to Jessa. I cannot say enough about how much her trained eye, her awareness of the systems of the body and her skilled vocabulary of movements impressed me. She is truly a gift to anyone who is interested in relating to their body in a healthy and balanced way. Sessions with her felt like a gift. Each and every one. New insights, careful thought and examination, encouragement, a belief that effort produces growth, permission to try new things, to go with my instincts, to push myself with internal wisdom and see what happens, these are all things Jessa offered to me and for which I am truly eternally grateful.
REBEKKAH'S TESTIMONIAL
"It's my brain and body's way of reconnecting"
This review has been in the works for a long time, and I owe it to Jessa to share how grateful I am for my experience working with her since January 2024. I started FP at six weeks postpartum with my second child. I came in with lower back pain, head and neck stiffness, and plantar fasciitis. That's the short list. After doing FP for 7 months I have come to learn so much about my body's unique dysfunctions as a result of doing activities that cause more harm than good. I have recognized that my extreme flexibility (now re-branded as hyper mobility) and posterior chain weaknesses in my glutes, hamstrings, calves, upper back, are mostly to blame for my pain. That, coupled with stress-related tightness throughout key muscle groups, and also somewhat poor/lazy eating habits has led to years of discomfort. I continue to learn about my body's movements, the brain/gut connection, and about the consequences of some of my lifestyle choices. I love working with Jessa because she never passes any judgement on me, but rather re-directs me back to my goals and explains how activities like excessive cycling, wearing improper footwear or consuming certain foods will set me back and prevent further progress. I appreciate each session I have with Jessa because it's not only a time for me to put in the work, but it's also my brain and body's way of re-connecting and healing. I can really step away from work and the craziness of motherhood to pay attention to just myself. The studio is a calm environment and Jessa's gentle way of guiding me through movements is therapeutic. It also helps that Jessa is so down-to-earth and really understanding when life gets in the way of our weekly sessions. She is super responsive and willing to re-schedule if work/parenting/illnesses come about. Outside of the studio, Jessa works behind the scenes to manage my own digital folder of images, session videos, and training logs to document my progress and give me additional resources to use at home. As a visual learner, I find so much value in having this available to me 24/7. It also gives me confidence to replicate movements at home and bring back my skills to the next session. If you are considering FP, I highly recommend working with Jessa or Gio. Trust me, your mind/body will thank you for many years to come.
