In this episode of Love Always, Jo, I interview Jenny Bork, a licensed massage therapist. Her work is based off of the belief that chronic pain, tension, and general dis-ease in the mind and body are merely red flags that show up as a result of a disconnection from your true self. Listen to this episode to hear more about the wisdom of the body and hear Jenny coach me about something that’s been going on with my body recently.
Jenny Bork is a licensed massage therapist in Grand Rapids, MI. Her work is based on the belief that chronic pain, tension, and general dis-ease in the mind and body are merely red flags that show up as a result of a disconnection from your true self. She uses her intuition, John F. Barnes Myofascial Release, holistic counseling, movement and posture education, energy work, bodywork, and mindfulness to meet you where you’re at, uncover unconscious belief systems and embodied patterning, and discover the root cause of your condition. With new awareness, you will reconnect to your own deepest personal truth, wisdom, and innate freedom.
