My Kaupapa

 

I believe that in a world of modern maladies caused by work and lifestyle, slowing down is often the best medicine. I encourage my clients’ bodies to release and shift survival patterns so that they can live more emotionally and physiologically grounded, present and joyful lives.

- Jess Holly Bates, RCST

“Since I started working with Jess, I have more resources and ability to manage my anxiety and depression, my cup feels full and I am able to step back and reflect in a mindful and purposeful way that uplifts me.”

Marianne, Soft Spot client

“It was definitely the most powerful body work I have ever had. My body feels so much calmer and stiller, and in turn I feel like my anxiety has eased”
