Hi healers and feelers! I wonder if this is where you are…
You’re a healing practitioner and you know your intake forms need work but you’re not sure what to change.
You want your clients to feel safe sharing with you but you don’t want them to feel pressured to tell you everything about their trauma history.
The copycatted intake form you use in your practice is not really working any more because the way you work is changing (and let’s face it - it was never your form anyway).
Trauma-informed care is more than a buzzword to you, it’s a core pillar of your practice. And yet, your intake process doesn’t feel quite aligned.
If that resonates, there’s no shame. I’m here to help you evolve your intake process.
Imagine feeling confident about your intake process; it’s trauma informed while upholding the boundaries you need to do your best work.
What would it feel like to e-mail clients intake materials that feel like the warmest welcome only you can write, giving them a peek into your practice’s personality?
Intake feels alive; it’s not just paperwork anymore. Now it’s valuable to you AND your clients.
Your clients have the flexibility and choice to engage in your intake process in ways that work for them and allow them to share openly.
Intake can work for you and your clients. I promise.
BEGINNING MAGIC is a self-paced online course here to help you reimagine your intake process. Best practices, trauma informed teachings and customizable templates will help you create your own unique intake experience in a way that works for you, your practice and (oh yeah!) your clients.
THIS IS FOR YOU Hi! Are you a person who who has an intake process (forms, discovery calls, initial paperwork, initial sessions) and you want to make it more trauma informed? If you’re nodding yes— this course is for you! If you have a heart for inclusive care and you know your intake materials need some TLC — BEGINNING MAGIC can support you!
HI, I’M JESS (SHE/HER)! Maybe we’ve met on the internet, or maybe this is the first time. I’m a trauma-informed bodyworker, writer and educator. I’m a gentle spirited person who sometimes says “fuck”; I think it’s in this course once. My background in social services and bodywork, along with my penchant for business and all things nerdy (from nervous system nourishment to spreadsheet savviness) come through in BEGINNING MAGIC. I’m honored to help you build an intake process tailored to your practice.
BEGINNING MAGIC includes:
trauma-informed teachings, journal prompts, videos and audio in our course portal
an overview of trauma-informed pillars: pacing, accessibility, transparency and more
trauma-informed best practices to embrace + pitfalls to avoid so you have a compass as you design your process
customizable intake materials to welcome new clients in a way that feels just right for your practice
guidance for facilitating trauma-informed discovery calls (yes, they exist and they are awesome!)
somatic exercises to support you in imagining your client’s experience and transforming your intake process
PLUS: You’ll get weekly e-mail check-ins for one month! Have you ever forgotten about a course? Needed a gentle nudge to get back at it? These weekly e-mails offer the encouragement and accountability you need.

MEL SAYS: "My session with Jess was such a beautiful catalyst to further healing within myself: she gently supported me in realizing that part of being a trauma-informed massage therapist is creating the conditions where I, too, can feel safer and more present. This was just one of several lightbulb moments in our consultation, which really helped me get clarity on how I want to grow in my trauma-informed practices. I appreciated her deep listening in the moment as well as very thoughtful follow-up that helped me further reflect on our conversation. As a relatively new bodyworker, I really recommend working with Jess to help find your bearings in this field!"
