​Each of us as human beings is affected by our cultural environment, personal and world events, family dynamics and the experiences of our ancestors, whether we are conscious of these impacts or not. These experiences are not only stored in our minds but also in our bodies - specifically, in the nervous system, affecting the way we feel, think and lead our lives.

Through education and body-based modalities, The Embodied Center guides people through their healing journeys. My overall goal is to help people embrace, connect to and understand their unique Self in an embodied way so they can enjoy life more fully, no matter their circumstances. 

WELCOME

​My name is Jamia Janine Walter. 
​Thank you for being here. 
​Pronouns: she/her
​
I’ve been a healing arts practitioner for 25 years. It began  (and continues) as a personal journey and over time, it grew into a heart-centered practice that has guided me to work with people from all walks of life. Whether you’re here to learn, find balance and clarity or here as part of your own healing journey, I am committed to providing you an environment of safety, connection and respect where you can gently explore your inner world of body sensations alongside their related thoughts and feelings, and most importantly, your body's innate capacity to heal.

LEARN MORE ABOUT MY WORK

MIND BODY SPIRIT INTEGRATION

​Drawing from my training in Somatic Experiencing, Taoist-based Bodywork and Spiritual Direction, I offer classes and individual sessions to support nervous system regulation and foster wellbeing and awareness of the body, mind, and soul.
Some of the areas I could help you with include:

Trauma integration, including intergenerational trauma
Alleviating digestive discomfort
Learning body-based life-enhancing skills and techniques
​Building a healthy relationship with yourself and others
Connecting to a felt-sense of purpose and meaning in your life

Stress management
Pain reduction 
Establishing a safe container to explore your inner life and body
Uncovering the felt-sense of safety and ease in your body
Life transitions, grief and loss

​​As a result of our work together, clients have reported that they feel more at home with themselves in their bodies. They feel more connected, present and have a clearer sense of purpose. They also have a greater capacity to handle stress and experience more enjoyment in life. While those who came to The Embodied Center to alleviate physical symptoms reported that their pain levels went down and that their quality of life returned or improved. 

While the process and outcomes are different for each person, I would like to invite you to take the first step today.

​ZEN SHIATSU

​Chi Nei Tsang (CNT) supports people in detoxifying the body and calming the nervous system by working primarily on the abdomen through  gentle, chi- touch that helps the internal organs to work more efficiently. While Zen Shiatsu uses applied pressure using the fingers to remove any obstacles or barriers in our energy pathways  (meridians) that might prevent vital energy from flowing freely. Learn More

KIND WORDS

“Janine - I would like to convey my sincerest and wholehearted gratitude for the Chi Nei Tsang session you provided me yesterday. You gave me permission to be vulnerable and encouraged me to fully experience each wave of physical and emotional release. Your touch made me feel so safe and allowed me to sit with all the pain and loss that I have been suppressing/numbing/ignoring for years. I have been poisoning myself with shame, guilt, and fear for too long. This was, without question, the single most significant spiritual and healing experience of my life. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kindness, your healing presence, and your vast compassion.”
