Jenny O'Dell, Embodiment and Bowen

I was asked what Bowen therapy is. And here is my answer.

It’s like acupuncture without needles.

It uses fingers to gently move, press, and roll over fascia and at the specific points in which you do it, it sends messages to the nervous system to begin to reorganize itself in a restful state. A lot of the areas to do a “Bowen move” correlate to points along meridians and like acupuncture there is a therapeutic rest in between “moves” so the body can “hear” the message. And these rests happen throughout the session rather than getting loaded up with moves, like you would get loaded up with needles, with a rest at the end. There is a beautiful ebb and flow to the work.

Here’s the challenge I have seen in my clients and potential clients since becoming a Master Practitioner.

It’s not always instantaneous and it’s super gentle. So for those who have their minds set on deep tissue massage where they can feel the work in a more obvious way because that’s what their brain needs to “hear”- there is a lot of resistance to try a modality that could help break through fascial, stress, emotional barriers being held onto by the body in a less invasive way.

This image is a trail on Mt Aggie- Sweet Fern. A gentle slope just like Bowen. But ones you start- you feel the burn. 😉

Just a little comedic relief at the end- but this tip really helps me shift my stress response throughout the day.

Especially when I’m transitioning from work to home… even though I work from home most days! That transition from professional to mom can be a leap!

I use this to shift my mood to something more balanced, prep myself for interactions and also to reset when something feels off.

If you try it- let me know how you feel! It’s recommended to practice this super easy breathing practice for 1-2 minutes.

I apologize for there not being closed captions- I couldn’t figure out how to get them on! I didn’t see the options that used to be there for them. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Hey friends!

I am the host of a gathering called Pitch?Please! for those who have their own businesses, work for someone else or have some other reason for Networking events to be on their radar... and they absolutely can't stand it, are shy, or otherwise just have a hard time stepping into those types of rooms.

I have an event coming up this week in Portsmouth if you want to check it out, AND I have a newsletter that comes out every week that is designed to support you on your journey and get yourself ready to consider coming to a gathering to test the waters for yourself.

The next edition (that also has an audio version) is going to drop today at 5:55pm since I got a bit delayed in sending it out.

Would love to have you join the journey!

Other than body work and life coaching- I also REALLY love facilitating groups that leave others feeling empowered. Usually they are women in business teetering on the edge of burnout and throwing in the towel.

So I have created a small gathering that meets monthly called Pitch? Please! That's sole focus is to serve those women as a reset, and be a source of learning for women new to or insecure with networking.

I share a newsletter (which has AUDIO too!!) every Monday and would LOVE to grow my email list: I can tell you- it's well worth the sign up. If more people were sending newsletters like this, I would open them. LOL

So- If you are someone that could use a bit of encouragement- sign up!

Hey friends!!

I've been quietly working on something I'm really proud of.
It's a newsletter. (what?!?)
A whole year of it, actually. (GASP- IYKYK)

Each issue is designed to walk you gently through understanding your nervous system — how it works, why it does what it does, and how to work with it instead of against it.

Because there's a big difference between
reacting to your life,
surviving your life,
and actually responding to it
with some grace and ease.
We only get one.

Wouldn't it be something to actually feel at home in it?

✨ The next issue drops this Friday
✨ Can't sit and read? There's a listen link — no reading required
✨ Previous editions are waiting for you too
You can sign up through the link on my website — I'd love to have you along for the journey. 💛

Holistic emotional healing Trauma-informed coaching Somatic healing Nervous system balance Energy alignment Inner peace coaching Release emotional blocks Pain and tension relief Overcoming overwhelm Self-healing techniques Whole-body wellness Clarity and purpose coaching Authentic self-connection He

✨ What if networking didn't have to feel like performing?

I spend most of my time in my private practice helping people come home to themselves — and somewhere along the way, I discovered I have a real gift for creating spaces where that same ease shows up in a room full of strangers.

That's why I created Pitch Please — a monthly gathering for the quietly brilliant, the beautifully introverted, the ones who leave every networking event wondering why they even went.

You don't need a polished pitch.

You don't need to hustle for a seat.

You just need to show up.

What you'll find here:

🌿 Real connection — no loud voices dominating the room
🌿 A chance to be seen, heard, and genuinely validated
🌿 Networking with way less stress, zero intimidation, and actually... ease

What this isn't:

One seat per industry.
A showcase.
A place for networking pros to perform.
Or a big financial commitment.

Just good people, doing the real thing.

If you've been burned out by the pressure of "traditional" networking — this was made for you. 💛

*In Person, Portsmouth NH every 2nd Wednesday at Buckley's Market

Hello All! Just your local (to Eliot ME) Bowenwork Practitioner here checking in!

Aside from Bodywork and Life Coaching- I LOVE to support women in business by bringing them together in connection. Creating authentic and organic networks that create genuine referrals to our businesses or the businesses we work for!

In my years of networking- there can be a lot of ick and pressure that comes with it that creates a barrier at the door. Especially for those that prefer a quieter space, experience dread around the thought of showing up to events, stress over 30 second pitches, and overall miss potential opportunities for connection that could help their businesses grow.

So! I have created a monthly get together where we Ditch the Pitch and focus on what's really important: YOU showing up!

There is no big buy in and there are no hidden strings. Just register, come and meet new people or connect with friends you haven't seen in a while!

Feel free to share this post with those who you know may be looking for this type of opportunity!

Next Month's event is live on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1987073953686?aff=oddtdtcreator

I look forward to seeing you there!

Hey there friends!

Are you someone who doesn't particularly enjoy networking because " the pitch" puts a pit in your stomach?

Me too.

So I have created a networking container for those looking for a more laid back networking opportunity that still packs a punch in meeting your needs to grow your network for your work and business needs!

It's coming up on Thursday April 9 ( this week!) and there are a few spots left for those that want to grab them before midnight tomorrow!

Pitch Please is the chill meetup for folks who dread networking but wanna connect without the awkwardness.

It's so much more than Bodywork over here friends.

One more certification for the books.

What does this mean? Besides me being epically awesome.... It builds upon my certification as a Building Personal Resilience Mentor.

Being a Certified HeartMath® Trainer means I get to help people (1:1 or on a larger scale) reconnect with one of the most powerful forms of intelligence we all possess — the intelligence of the heart. ❤️

HeartMath isn’t just about stress relief (though that’s a big part of it). It’s about learning how to create balance in the body, clarity in the mind, and coherence between the two. Through simple, science‑backed techniques, individuals, teams, and organizations can learn to:
- regulate emotions under pressure
- build resilience and focus
- strengthen communication and collaboration
- make decisions from a place of calm and confidence

The best part? These skills are learnable- By everyone — and they can shift how we move through every moment of life, work, and relationship.

If you’re curious what HeartMath could look like for you, your community groups or your organization's teams, let’s connect.

Dude. I did it. 🎉
