Meet Jennifer Cea

 

My journey into the healing arts began with my own transformative experience with massage therapy. Overcoming chronic low back pain brought about by my desk job through therapeutic touch ignited my curiosity about the body's innate ability to heal. This revelation, combined with a deep-rooted desire to serve others, inspired me to become a massage therapist, and continues to guide my evolving and intentional client-centered practice.

 

Fresh out of massage school and with labor doula training already under my belt, my growing interest in supporting mother’s-to-be led me to Carole Osbourne’s perinatal massage training in 2007 and to a partnership with a mentor doula, Jane Drichta, in 2008. Providing support for laboring mothers and offering them massage care was very near and dear to my heart as I had received both during my journey into motherhood.

 

As I welcomed my second child, I turned inward to nurture and support my family and withdrew from doula work, taking some time off from my massage practice as well. I eventually shuttered my solo practice in favor of joining a dynamic and passionate group of massage therapists at Helix Massage Therapy in 2011. 

 

Over the years, my intuition and the inspiration I took from my talented colleagues have led me to explore various modalities of bodywork and energy healing. I began with Ursula Popp’s Craniosacral Therapy (CST) training in 2013, which further enlightened me to the subtle and powerful ways our body heals itself when given the attention and opportunity to do so. 

 

Around the time that I re-opened my solo practice in 2016, I also began to realize how deeply my bodywork practices were being guided by my intuition, which opened my understanding to trusting the innate knowing I possess: we all possess this when we tune into our intuition. I listened to my deep inner calling to expand my offerings beyond the physical and into the energetic healing realm, which had begun with CST, and more recently led me to Reiki. I became a Reiki Master in 2023 after studying with Ariel Hubbard over the course of 3 years.

 

These explorations along with the expansion of my intuition and capacity as an empath have enabled me to create a nurturing space where individuals can experience the profound benefits of massage and Reiki . I embrace my role as a facilitator of healing, allowing restorative processes to unfold organically during and after each session.

 

My desire to grow and expand my practices continues as I pursue advanced studies in myofascial techniques, lymphatic clearing, and energy modalities, including HighSelf Resonance Therapy, an auric field healing practice I look forward to sharing with clients in mid-2025.

 

I am so grateful to all of my clients for your trust and willingness to join with me to improve your health and increase the ease with which you move through your lives.

Though not an original Seattleite, I have resided here since the age of 3, so I consider myself a lifetime resident. I enjoy immersing myself in nature on my walks and runs, enjoying the company of the birds and the elements. I especially love the green of the trees that surround us year-long and being among their leafiness is one of my greatest delights. More of my favorite indulgences include sound baths, audiobooks, meditation, travel, cooking, eating out with friends, supporting the performing arts and cherishing quality time with my husband, children, and our adorable tuxedo cat.
