Jess Evans is a licensed massage therapist and shiatsu energy work practitioner, a dancer/performer and choreographer, and a certified mindfulness meditation teacher. The multi-dimensional and centering arts of zen and quantum shiatsu, myofascial and deep tissue engagement with the soft tissue structures, and nervous system and energy center attunement make up the majority of her bodywork practice. Her embodied knowledge of dance and movement arts lends itself to feeling into the subtleties of her client’s bodies and can offer insights into how her clients can animate their bodies in rehabilitative ways. Jess co-founded and runs Portland Dance Film Fest, makes beaded earrings, and holds space for those who are embarking on the “inward diving after the priceless pearls” (Sri Yukteswar).
