Jennifer ‘Jo’Cai' Bath

I imagine that however you have found your way to this page, it has been a journey. If you are looking for more support & care in your healing journey I would love to explore the possibility of working together with you. I am committed to collective liberation through relational and embodied healing work with trans and queer community. Many of us are feeling overwhelmed, isolated and disconnected right now. It is difficult to find people with whom we can trust to take the uncomfortable risks needed for healing. There is so much attack on trans and queer community that many of us are in perpetual protection mode. I am here to provide a consistent caring presence, to share nourishing practices, and to support the difficult task of sensing what protection we need to stay safe and what patterns of protection we may need to transform in order to become more fully embodied and engaged in our lives.

If you are looking for someone to support your personal healing with a liberation framework & a somatic approach, please reach out! I work primarily with trans and queer community. Many of my clients have experiences of trauma and oppression and may be struggling to find a sense of belonging. Folx who are oriented toward social justice and nature are a strong match with the ways I work.I bring 20+ years of self study, social and environmental activism, wilderness guiding, group facilitation, body movement education, massage and bodywork, and somatic psychotherapy. My approach to healing is compassionate and direct. I am interactive - bringing reflective questions and invitations for building body and mind awareness (such as breath work, naming sensations, discerning thoughts and emotions, self touch, movements, recognizing and contextualizing survival responses and conditioned behaviors/attitudes/beliefs, and more). I also work relationally- directly exploring the dynamics that emerge in our therapeutic relationship.

I believe that no one needs to be "fixed". We adapt to survive our experiences, and these adaptations can later become obstacles to our growth and health. I believe healing involves naming the harmful patterns that exist in our society, communities, relationships, and within ourselves. Healing involves the challenging work to discern what no longer serves us and the difficult journey of letting it go. I believe our wounds can become our greatest strengths by creating deep embodied awareness. Most significantly, I believe that we do not heal alone. I am here for this journey.
