I won't even try to pretend I understand how she does it. (I don't) But I sure as hell am glad I…read morefound Jessica on Yelp.
I had my second session tonight. I was a bit surprised how different it was than my first. Both equally good, but let's just say - scheduling that second session was probably the best decision I've made in a long time.
First of all, Jessica begins each session in her office with a conversation. She'll talk to you about what led you to book an appointment with her, how you're doing between sessions, what's been bothering you, etc. and then come up with a plan of action for what to focus her (amazing) healing powers on during that session. With me, the first session (which was my first reiki session ever of any kind), it was like she just "knew" things about my past that there's no way she could have known. She's definitely intuitive as well, which is pretty freaking awesome - something I did not expect. It felt like she understood my pain on every level, and could relate to me and what I was going through, which made me feel at ease with her, before she even touched me. Talking to Jessica comes natural, in a way that sort of makes me feel like we go way back (even though we don't) - like I can tell her my deepest, darkest secrets, feelings and fears, knowing she won't judge me, but instead will lift me up, saying "okay, this is how we're going to fix this."
My first session a few weeks ago was intense, in a good way. My whole body felt like it was on fire; like I was burning up. I literally felt things being "pulled" out of me, which is what she said she was doing... pulling out negative thoughts and feelings, and cutting the cord between me and past men in my life. Little did I know that was only the foundation for the "real work" to come. Jessica has magical hands. I don't know how, but she does. I could feel so many things that first session. She really worked with me on ridding my head and heart of many past loves, and heartbreak. Afterwards I felt lighter, and less anxious. So incredible. Jessica stayed with me for a few minutes after my session and texted me some books I should be reading, and made sure I was feeling okay. So sweet.
Then tonight... wow, what an entirely different experience. I don't think I've ever felt more relaxed, than I did while on her table between the hours of 5:30pm and 6:30pm tonight. Yet again, she worked her magic on me. I felt lighter. I felt calm. I was so relaxed and in a complete state of meditation, that I literally saw images of men from my past pop up and voices telling me to say "bye," followed by their name. I mean, talk about liberating. Wow. At one point, I actually felt like I was floating. At another point, I got this vision of me on a river, in a kayak, just laying down on top of it, while letting the water do its thing. No paddling, no trying to be in control. Just letting the river (metaphor for universe?) do what it was supposed to. This is actually a memory I have from the past few years, when I've traveled. It's something I've actually done before, and is super relaxing to me. But, I hadn't even thought about this in forever, and all of a sudden, it was like I was having this amazing, semi-out-of-body experience watching myself float down this river. Tonight I also cried while Jess was working on healing me. I wasn't expecting to, it just happened, but wow, that's such a testament to how amazing she is. It's like my soul was on display and Jessica knew just what to do and say.
After my session tonight, again, Jessica waited a little longer - even though she had a client right after me, she knew I was anxious about some things and stayed to make sure I was alright. That was a huge blessing to me in ways I can't even begin to describe here. She even texted me to follow up and ask if I'm okay.
My experience has been that Jessica is kind, sweet, talented, funny, compassionate, understanding, experienced, and legit the real deal. She's amazing. I cannot wait for my next session. Go see her, I'm positive you won't regret it. :)
