1:1 somatic experiencing sessions
If you’re in pain I want you to know this – you have the capacity to heal.
Nobody is “broken” or beyond repair – the possibility of renewal exists so long as you’re willing to accept help and explore yourself and your past with a sense of compassionate curiosity. If you want to feel less stressed and tense, and more calm, safe, alive and connected to yourself and others, I’d love to work with you.
Verdell Jessup is a Somatic Experiencing & Developmental Trauma Specialist, in addition, is trained in the Feldenkrais Method.
Verdell works primarily with the Autonomic Nervous System and the Vagus Nerve to help the Nervous System become more regulated through somatic touch work. She considers herself a healing arts practitioner as she interweaves numerous modalities and gifts into every session or lesson. She is helping you to gather parts of yourself and connecting them to explore what it is like to be whole again. She helps you to foster curiosity and empathy for yourself potentially learning new skills to change how you walk through life. She lives part-time in Vancouver and in Kamloops, BC, Canada and helps clients in both cities. For the past nine 10 years she has worked with hundreds of individuals both in-person at her private practices and Virtually with Zoom.
The hopelessness is gone, I don’t find the day to day stress overwhelming, my body has found its energy again and I have even lost 45 pounds. Verdell’s safe and non judgmental presence coupled with her skill and natural talent to reawaken the energy your body holds is nothing short of amazing.
Amanda, Kamloops, B.C.The exhaustion after the session, the feeling of relief and the feeling of peacefulness was liberating. My introduction to Somatic Experiencing is the most fascinating encounter I’ve had with the healing powers of the body, and how my body was still holding onto the physical memory of being buried in an avalanche. I now feel at peace with what happened and can now talk about it without feeling stress or anxiety.
Emelie Stenberg, Revelstoke, BCI didn’t sleep at all and was in shoulder pain all night and day the day after the session. But when I came home and went to bed the following night I slept for nine hours straight for the first time in years. Today my shoulder and over all well-being are 150% better than they have been for a long time. My initial discomfort has turned to bliss. Not too often do you meet a real human being – you are one.
Antonio Perri, West Fraser Concrete, Prince George, BCI sought out Verdell to regain the confidence I once had, and to reestablish my love for the sport of whitewater kayaking. I was so preoccupied with the worry of being unable to roll up if needed that I was overwhelmed with anxiety and fear on the river and too stressed to enjoy myself. Soon after one session I went out kayaking to apply the tools she had equipped me with. I immediately felt my confidence and skills improve rapidly.
Christy Long, Whistler, BCVerdell has the most wonderful touch, paired with a calm and curious persona and a genuine interest in people. I first met her in 2012 to deal with a shoulder injury, a partially torn AC joint, and the need to be up and running in a month for a two-week ski touring expedition. Not only was I able to ski and carry a pack within a month, but I also walked away with a whole new understanding of my body and the power of my mind and its ability to heal.
Christine Feleki, Squamish, BCAfter one private session with Verdell I felt like a completely different person on so many levels. She overflows with compassion and empathy. This, paired with her patience and extensive biologically based training, makes her the ideal balance. She has an innate ability to connect on a human level, and link what is occurring within your system physically and emotionally. The results are not only felt as a physical release of tension or pain, but on an emotional level as well.
