Welcome to TOKPA®!
A NEW KIND OF MASSAGE EXPERIENCE
Where Mindful Awareness Meets Physical Realignment
CONNECT WITH YOURSELF
CALM THE MIND
LIVE WITH EASE
tokpa noun | pronounced Toke-pah
The Definition: In Tibetan Buddhism, a term referring to realization, understanding, and experiencing.
The Goal: The practice of Buddhism is to realize the nature of the mind and cultivate inner peace.
Your body is a living archive of how you move, breathe, and carry stress.
With Jessica’s TOKPA® Approach & the complementary techniques from our team, we merge specialized clinical - meets - holistic massage therapy with conscious bodily awareness—helping you unravel chronic tension from the inside out.
The mind doesn’t just live in the body; it responds to stress in ways that affect our muscles and the way we carry ourselves.
When you’re dealing with physical stress, mental strain, and certain lifestyle habits, your sympathetic nervous system can change the way you sit, stand, and breathe.
Breath becomes shallow, relying on belly breathing only.
You lose the ability to perform full diaphragmatic breaths.
Or sometimes you don’t realize you’re holding your breath.
If you’re unaware of your breathing patterns and don’t work with a practitioner who understands this natural response, massage therapy can end up feeling painful, overwhelming, and unhelpful.
Let’s take a deep and slow breath in through the nose…on the count of 6 or 7
Breathe out through the nose….on the count of 6 or 7
Feel a difference? Regardless of the answer, you could use a massage!
Now that we’ve connected with our breath, let’s talk about the physical…
In every session, Jessica uses conscious breathwork & meditative guidance to shift your nervous system into parasympathetic relaxation—allowing deeper muscle layers to release without forced pressure.
Good posture isn’t about forcing your body to stand up straight—it should feel natural.
Our daily habits can affect us in both positive and negative ways, and our bodies are always adjusting to accommodate our subconscious patterns. Let’s help it work less!
During your sessions, we’ll review your lifestyle & movement habits, and as you continue working together with Jessica and our team, you’ll start to notice gradual changes over time.
Who our clients are
We provide supportive massage experiences for pregnant and postpartum mothers, their partners and birth team, dancers & active clients, and all non-pregnant clients seeking care.
What we offer
Different styles of Deep Tissue
There’s a time and place for everything—some sessions are more about relaxing, while others are focused, because the body is complex.
A relaxing deep tissue session is perfect if you’re feeling stressed and can’t remember the last time you took a full breath, or if you just need to quiet your mind and simply receive. The soothing deep tissue massage is the heart of TOKPA®. If you’re not sure where to start, this is the ideal choice to begin your journey!
A focused deep tissue session is ideal if you’re dealing with repetitive stress or a chronic injury that hasn’t improved despite visits to multiple physical therapists or chiropractors, or if you have a specific goal in mind—like improving posture for wedding photos, preventing recurring pain, preparing for pregnancy, experiencing pains from pregnancy or easing discomfort during pregnancy or postpartum.

ABOUT JESS ~
A few things about me
I’m passionate about wellness but most importantly, I really enjoy learning, growing and sharing my knowledge with others.
With my experience working with Physical Therapists, in spas, in medical massage offices, and Prenatal Massage offices, I’ve discovered the ideal balance of relaxation and effectiveness in my offerings.
I understand the frustration of going from one massage therapist to another without finding lasting relief. I use a variety of tools, breathing exercises, massage techniques, give resources and suggestions to help you feel your best for years to come. My team is here to complement what I bring to the table and offer skills that aren’t my specialty.
We look forward to supporting you!
