Wisdom of The Body

Specialties

Through our events and individual sessions, we reveal hidden doorways our clients didn’t know were there, and gently support them to get through to the other side. Our clients tend to be on spiritual or personal growth paths, helping professionals, or anyone ready for their next step. We work with the client to co-​create a dynamic session that may include talking, movement, sound, and nonsexual physical contact.

History

Established in 2013.

In 2013, I had a partner who was a survivor of sever trauma. I used my Co-​Counseling and dance background to hold her body, and gently encourage emotional release. I realized there was no place I knew of for an adult to go and get sustained, non-​sexual physical contact from someone who also had the spaciousness and skill to hold and help work through whatever feelings came up.

So, when I was laid off from my Silicon Valley, Fortune 500, high-​tech, six-​figure job, I threw myself into developing this work. Shortly afterwards, my colleague, Marlena Willis joined and began to contribute as well. We’ve now seen more than 200 clients, and consistently get feedback that people are blown away by this work – they’re accessing parts of themselves, and moving through stuck places they had no idea were possible.

We’re working on making this body of knowledge available to a wider audience, and would love to work with you, providing counseling, training, or both.

Business Owner

Jill Nagle inquires on a daily basis, with no small measure of enthusiasm and joy, into the nature of the universe, the nature of healing, and the relationship between the two. She brings extensive background in physical, cognitive, emotional and metaphysical modalities, including Contact Improvisation, Nonviolent Communication, Re-​evaluation Counseling, Family Constellation, and Energy Class with Lynda Caesara. Yet Wisdom of The Body transcends modalities, into a place called «flow,» a term popularized by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s eponymous book. By being in this flow, we create a field that supports the client in bringing forth what they most need to work on. Then, we follow and support them, to places like the massage table, to the mat, to movement, physical contact, talking and sound – sometimes to places none of us has ever ventured before. Though it is technically nothing new, we see this type of practice as an important part of the future of psychotherapy and healing.
