ABOUT ME

Welcome beloved. I am Jac (she/they). I offer this practice first and foremost in devoted service to more love, healing, and freedom.

I am a loving creature of the Tides that is trying to live a conscious and simple life in reciprocity. I deeply believe in mind/body/spirit ecology and that the Earth is our body and our body is our Home.

I have been following the mysterious trail of cosmic bread crumbs toward healing since my early teens when debilitating anxiety and depression almost led to me not making it out of high school. Tides Touch Therapy represents the evolving alchemy of my wounds into gifts to share. The practices I offer have supported me on my journey to re-establishing a loving and secure home in myself.

I am a Certified Massage Therapist (CACMT #96971) specializing in trauma-sensitive Craniosacral Therapy and aquatic therapy. My practice is resourced from over five years of professional training and many years of personal experience. Sacred intention, ritual, and an endless love for Mother Earth are woven into my offerings.

You might find me bathing in the forest, dancing, cuddling, laughing, making herbal medicine or cooking, and deepening connections. I strive to live my life as a dance in deeper resonance with myself and all of life.

I have a BA in Sociology and Pre-Med from Tulane University in New Orleans. I have a Masters in Public Health with a specific focus in community nutrition and exploring inequities in food ecosystems also from Tulane University. For ten years I worked for public health organizations (government and academia) and health technology startups.

For both of my parents, their parent’s grandparents were Ashkenazi Jews who immigrated to the United States in late 1800s and early 1900s from Austria, Hungary, Bohemia (now Czechia), Montenegro, Ukraine, and Poland. I believe in a free Palestine.

Thank you to my parents, my siblings, my grandparents, Mother Earth, and all my ancestors for this opportunity to be here. Thank you all or being here. Big Love to you all on our healing journey, together.
