About jessica
About Me: Welcome! I'm Jessica Conway, RN, MSN. I am a passionate Somatic Practitioner and Educator dedicated to guiding individuals on a transformative journey toward mind-body ease and trauma healing. With a heart-centered approach, I specialize in creating a nurturing space for exploration and growth.
Philosophy of Change: In my practice, I believe that true healing arises from the integration of mind and body. Drawing from trauma-informed principles, my philosophy centers on the understanding that sustainable change occurs when we tap into the profound wisdom of the body. This integrative approach allows for a holistic transformation, fostering resilience and unlocking the innate potential within.
Specialties: My focus lies in supporting individuals through personalized Integrative Somatic Coaching and Mentorship. I specialize in navigating the intricate landscape of trauma using approaches such as Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi, and Mindfulness. With expertise in Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Attachment Theory, Somatic Parts Work, the Safe and Sound Protocol, and more, I am dedicated to providing a comprehensive and tailored approach to each unique journey.
Experience: With over 15 years of experience as a Registered Nurse in the Critical Care setting and Hospice, and 3 years of experience as a Somatic Practitioner and Educator, I've witnessed the powerful shifts that occur when we honor the mind-body connection. My work extends to anyone experiencing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, stress, relational trauma, burnout, attachment wounding, overwhelm, and more, guiding clients toward sustainable change and a renewed sense of well-being.
Let's Begin Your Journey: Embarking on a path of healing is a courageous step, and I'm here to walk beside you. Together, we'll uncover the language of your body, fostering growth, resilience, and a deep connection to your authentic self. I invite you to explore the transformative possibilities within - let's begin this journey together.
Hold on to your center, for that is the only way
“Maybe my stories can free you from yours.” - Sarah Blondin
Since my small eyes could open, I have been a highly sensitive soul. I feel life at 140%. Most of my life I have suffered from uncertainty, self-doubt, self-judgment, preoccupied (anxious) attachment stance, and lack of trust in myself, others and the world around me. This trance of anxiety, worry, and not-enoughness consumed me and disrupted my perception of myself and my world and ultimately disrupted my capacity to experience joy, presence, aliveness and healing relationships.
My hope is that the tools and strategies I have found over the years to untangle my own knots, will untether you from yours. I provide trauma-informed, somatic-based services that work with the mind-body connection, supporting growth, healing trauma, and finding ease in the mind, the nervous system, and the body. I also weave yoga, meditation, nature-based therapies, and contemplative practices into my therapeutic work because I believe that nature, soul and spirit based practices can complement the somatic healing journey.
"Opening to the possibility that lasting transformation and healing are not so much about changing our experience as retraining ourselves to meet it with new levels of curiosity, perspective, and warmth.” - Matthew Licata, PhD
