Jennifer’s Story
After battling neck and shoulder tension, desk hunch, eye strain, wrist pain, migraines and tension headaches and other tech-neck-related symptoms for nearly a decade in her fast-paced publishing career, Jennifer stepped away from her desk and made it her life’s mission to support people experiencing the detrimental effects that computer and desk work can have on one’s physical and energetic wellbeing.
She spent the ensuing years studying functional anatomy and kinesiology, myofascial release, postural alignment and movement practices, yoga therapy ball work, mindfulness, breathwork, somatic practices and other supports for the tangible and spiritual bodies, with particular attention paid to methods aimed at soothing the upper body (head, neck, shoulders, arms, wrists, fingers, upper back and chest), as well as the frazzled nervous system as a whole.
These days, whether working with clients in her sunlit studio in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood or on an island retreat, Jennifer brings to the table a variety of tension-taming offerings, including Therapeutic Relaxation Massage, Cupping, Hot Stones, Calming Private Yoga and Roll+Release Self-Massage classes utilizing yoga therapy balls. Each of these offerings is designed to support you to drop into your breath + body, let go of tension, and begin feeling better.
Upon working with Jennifer, clients have reported decreased muscle tightness, reduced stress, increased focus, improved movement + range of motion (ROM), a holistic sense of wellbeing, the ability to breathe more fully and deeply, and enhanced performance in all facets of life.
TESTIMONIALS

“Jennifer is an amazing massage therapist. She is intuitive, kind, very well trained and continues to educate herself. I highly recommend Sunbreak Massage.”
“I wanted to thank you for the massage. Yesterday I climbed as hard as I did prior to injury and it felt great. This was also after climbing on Friday, so my muscles should have been more fatigued, but they weren’t. I’m so delighted!”
“Jennifer’s touch is intuitive and healing. I left that table much more relaxed and look forward to future sessions!”
“I highly recommend Jennifer, especially if you want effective work that is also gentle. She has this amazing touch that feels so pleasant and soothing, it can be surprising how completely she really is getting those muscles to release! If you shy away from deep tissue work, you will absolutely love her. Her hands listen, and so does her heart.”
