Today, I am joined by Jackie King, owner of Yana Healing and Balance. Jackie is an absolute joy to be around and is filled with wisdom and compassion. Her passion is to encourage those around her as they navigate their life journey and help support their bodies to be in an optimal position to heal from in the inside out. Jackie shares specifically with us today about infant bonding and infant massage. These are two extremely important topics to understand for all new parents. Bonding is foundational for babies to learn about navigating their own relationships, hormone/chemical release for rapid brain growth, and maintaining full mobility throughout their little bodies. Massage provides an incredible way to grow that bonding between baby and parent.

Please listen and share this episode with all of your new parent friends. By taking the time to listen, like, and share you are helping Embrace. Live. Thrive. get one step closer to removing the shame associated with anxiety and depression in motherhood and educate women about foundations of self-care.

Jackie Bio:
My passion has always been to help others be the best they could be on a Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual level.  This has inspired my second passion of continued learning to better serve my clients.

Initially, my journey on the health and wellness path began with an AAS Degree in Occupational Therapy, immediately followed by additional schooling and licensing in Massage Therapy (MO License #2001009530).  I worked for nearly 20 years in adult rehab teaching my patients self-care skills after a life-altering trauma or surgery.  I also worked part-time as a Massage Therapist, helping my clients relax and let go of the daily stressors that cause pain and discomfort.  After all those years, I left the OT world to expand my business and pursue my passion.  This has been nothing short of a dream come true for me.  I am now able to help my clients excel in every area of their life in a more relaxed, alternative manner.

Over the years, I have taken several classes for certification to include Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI #R08290), Level 1 Qigong and Food Healing, The Emotion Code, The Body Code and now, Usui Holy Fire Reiki Master.  I have taken many classes specific for use with therapeutic grade essential oils and Tibetan Bowls for Sound Healing.  My interests are varied, but all are focused on getting to the root of the problem, healing at the cellular level, and achieving overall balance once again.

I believe we are all on our own journey seeking health, happiness, and abundance and the tools we need are specific for each of us.  I am very proud of my accomplishments over the years and extremely grateful to be able to provide my clients with a broad base of healing tips, tools, and techniques to help heal their body and balance their soul.
