Aloha!

My name is Jaime.

I am a bodyworker, yoga instructor, somatic educator, and reverent lover of nature.

I currently offer bodywork on the island of Kauaʻi, including therapeutic massage, craniosacral therapy, and womb care. I also facilitate in-person and online classes and workshops rooted in somatic embodiment.

I use my presence, words, and touch to help people physically and energetically land in their bodies and reconnect with the intelligence of their felt sense.

Through this relationship with presence and felt sense, we have the capacity to shift patterns held in our bodies and lives. As we transform ourselves, those shifts naturally ripple outward into our relationships and communities.

My 22 years of experience as a yoga instructor and bodyworker have cultivated a refined ability to observe the body, listen deeply, and perceive and transmit information through my hands.

In 2018–2019, I participated in an in-depth study of Ayurveda with Mary Bastien through David Frawley's Vedic Institute. This experience grounded an embodied understanding of nature's cyclical rhythms and how the qualities of the elements manifest in the natural world, the body, and the mind.

My path as a yoga instructor and bodyworker naturally expanded into birth work. I studied Ayurvedic postpartum care with Ysha Oaks, completed postpartum doula training at Bastyr University, and apprenticed for nine months with home-birth midwife Mieko Aoki. I spent seven years supporting women as a birth and postpartum doula. This work taught me about initiation, thresholds, and the wisdom found in liminal spaces.

For the past three years, I have been studying women's nervous systems and trauma resolution with Somatic Experiencing practitioner and sexological bodyworker Kimberly Ann Johnson. This work has allowed me to deeply understand my own nervous system patterns, shift out of freeze responses, embody healthy boundaries, and have agency to take aligned actions.

All of these threads—yoga, bodywork, Ayurveda, birth work, and nervous system work—interweave in the way I meet each person. I trust that the body holds inherent intelligence. My work is an invitation to slow down, feel deeply, let your body lead, and return to your embodied knowing.
