Hi! I’m Jess Young and I am so pleased to meet you!
I am a Restorative Exercise Specialist, Personal Trainer. I was trained through the Nutritious Movement Institute under Katy Bowman. I am also a Mind Shifting coach, trained under Steve Kent.
My whole life, even as a child, I have felt an urgency and call to stand alongside and to serve those who have been harmed or injured in some way.
Through a variety of life circumstances and traumas, from about 20010-2013, I found myself in a stretch with PTSD. In that time, I also married and had several children in a short period of time. During one of my pregnancies, while I was still struggling with PTSD, I felt my abdominal muscles tear from one another, twice.
In 2014, after that baby was born, my internal organs would flop out of me multiple times a week. When they were about 6 months old, I was able to begin Katy Bowman’s coursework to become a Restorative Exercise Specialist. Within 3 months of starting her certification program, my internal organs no longer fell out of me, and 2 months after that, my abdominals had no unusual separation any longer. I feel very truly like this work has saved my physical and even emotional life.
At the same time that I began the certification process, I also began seeking ways to climb through to the other side of PTSD. A friend gifted me a couple of resources that shifted my ability to work through the trauma and pain I had experienced. This also began a journey that enabled me to see the signs my body was trying to give me, so that I could have worked through the emotions that caused my PTSD to begin with. My organs falling out of me was a huge clue as to my emotional life at the time!
In 2022, one of my children had edema that would come and go from the end of June into the end of August. Some weeks, she would look almost normal, and others she would look very swollen and puffy. We used every safe and natural diuretic I could think of, research, and obtain. We hired two coaches versed in Germanic New Medicine, and this got us onto the correct track. At the end of August, 2022, her legs started weeping fluid, and I went to a local ER for diagnostic help. When they could not do a blood draw, they sent us to the nightmare experiment facility of Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. To learn more about that traumatizing experience, go to this video. As soon as she was discharged from their abusive institution and into our care, I began working with Mind Shifting, to help our precious daughter with any emotional issues she may have had. What came about, with her kidney labs after every Mind Shifting session, astounded our family. I knew that I had to become a coach, to help other families resolve internal conflicts.
These have been the guides for my passion to help other trauma survivors work to the other side, in their time, for their very best in life.
Serving you as you move out of unhealthy patterns and grow well, I utilize several tool sets. I seek to offer whole body awareness and restoration, to each of my members. I believe every aspect of ourselves – mind, body, emotions, spirit – are deeply intertwined, effecting one another. From this, I seek to hold space for you as you move your whole self, forward.
