Meet Jinaé
My journey into massage therapy has been rooted in a deep appreciation for the body's remarkable capacity to heal. After moving to the Pacific Northwest in 2022, I found a profound sense of home among the forests, waterways, and quiet beauty of this region—an environment that continues to inspire the calm, grounded atmosphere I strive to create for every client.
My approach to healing is both professional and deeply personal. Having experienced my own healing journey, I understand that the body often carries the effects of stress, trauma, and life's many challenges. This perspective has shaped my belief that massage is more than physical relief—it's an opportunity to create a safe, supportive space where the nervous system can relax, restore, and reconnect with its natural state of balance.
My Approach to Bodywork
At Rooted Moon Wellness LLC, my massage style is intentionally grounded in a holistic and trauma-informed framework. While I specialize in quiet, slow, and stationary modalities—such as Craniosacral Therapy—that prioritize nervous system regulation, I also incorporate targeted techniques like Deep Tissue, Trigger Point Therapy, Neuromuscular Massage Therapy, and Myofascial Release when they align with your body’s needs.
My approach is collaborative; even when working with deeper modalities, I slow down to listen to the body, asking for consent and feedback to ensure the work is appropriate for your system before easing into deeper layers. With two years of practice and training from both the East West College of the Healing Arts and the Insight Craniosacral Institute, my sessions are designed to support your body’s natural ability to heal and restore balance in a safe, sanctuary-like environment.
Why "Rooted Moon"?
The name Rooted Moon reflects the philosophy behind my practice: healing begins when we are both grounded and connected. Like the steady roots of a tree and the gentle rhythms of the moon, I believe wellness comes from balancing strength with softness, stability with intuition, and thoughtful therapeutic care with deep restoration.
Beyond the Treatment Room
When I'm not working with clients, you'll often find me exploring the Pacific Northwest, spending time near the water, tending to my plants, or continuing my education in massage therapy, Craniosacral Therapy, and holistic wellness. I believe that learning is a lifelong practice, allowing me to continually refine my skills and better support those in my care.
I also believe every person deserves to feel welcome, respected, and safe. Rooted Moon Wellness is an inclusive, affirming space where people of all backgrounds, identities, and bodies are honored with compassion, dignity, and care.
