I’m a queer, cisgender, first-generation Chinese settler living in Tiohtia:ke / Montreal.

I’m a death nerd, a devoted student of Eros and an advocate for pleasure as a pathway to liberation. I facilitate workshops on desire and consent, grief rituals, death curious gatherings and eco somatic experiences. I’m captivated by the nature of change, mysteries and thresholds and I have an unwaivering trust in the interrelationality of all life and see the body as a portal to collective healing. 

My path toward somatics emerged through my own embodied inquiries over 15 years ago—seeded by vipassana (Buddhist) meditation courses, experimental movement practices, and a sacred kinship with the more-than-human world. Again and again, I felt my curiosity pulsing toward greater aliveness, connection, and depth.

Between my people-pleasing and anxious attachment patterns to my overwhelming perfectionism and surviving cervical cancer, somatic practices have been central to how I’ve healed and continue to meet life with tenderness. They continue to orient me toward living with more bravery and presence.

WHY IT MATTERS

The more we notice what feels good, the more clearly we can discern what doesn’t. Neuroscience proves that what we pay attention to grows, and when we care for our body’s signals for connection, safety, and aliveness we build trust in its innate wisdom and erotic intelligence.  Pleasure expands our capacity to feel— bringing us into our bodies, helping us meet both joy and difficulty, including grief and discomfort, with greater ease and integrity.

MORE ABOUT US

Jess is such a gentle and thoughtful human being! I started going to her because I was looking for help with discovering and enforcing my sexual boundaries. She made sure that we went slow and established trust, which has been super helpful to know what that feels like in my body, so I can notice if other sexual partners can do this with me. It’s really special to have someone to work on rewiring my body to begin to know what safety feels like! Yay for safer sex practices.

faq

Do I have to be naked or have my genitals touched in a bodywork session?

Absolutely not. You can have as much or as little clothing on as you’d like and nothing happens if you don’t ask for it. You are the one steering our session while I keep you anchored in your body’s experience. I meet you exactly where you are.

What if I don’t have the funds?

Please send me a direct email if cost is a barrier to you. I offer 2 sliding scale sessions to QTBIPOC each month.

What does somatic mean?

Somatic is the practice of coming into relationship with the body by listening to sensation, breath, energy, impulse, and emotion as meaningful information. It’s an invitation to trust the body as a site of knowing, healing, and connection.

Do you do online sessions?

Yes aboslutely!
