the sounds of the BQE
good morning brooklyn.
i arrived from berlin last night and slept a good amount of hours, from 5 am till 1:30 pm berlin time. its not so bad going backwards, because getting up early is not a problem. the other way around, one year ago, was difficult. i am settling in here, typing to the sounds of traffic on the BQE, which i can see outside this greenpoint window.
today and tomorrow i have scheduled Jetlag Recovery, Walking Around, Meetings and Seeing Faces i havent seen in almost a year.
i also hope to see some new faces through the work that i do. thursday i start giving treatments at greenhouse holistic in williamsburg. to book a 90-minute session you can call 718-599-3113. the rate is $125. this is the schedule:
Thursday, Dec. 10 from 9-3
Sunday, Dec. 13 from 12-8
Thursday, Dec. 17 from 9-3
Sunday, Dec. 20 from 12-8
on saturday i begin working out of panetta movement center on 29th st, manhattan. the schedule follows:
Saturday, Dec. 12 from 2-6
Monday, Dec. 14 from 2-6
Saturday, Dec. 19 from 2-6
Monday, Dec. 21 from 2-6
Monday, Dec. 28 from 2-6
please contact me at 718-866-6181 to book a session. the times are slightly flexible, by an hour forward or backwards. at panetta i am offering a sliding scale rate of $75 for 60 minutes and $100 for a 90-minute session to dancers and artists. the regular rate is $100 for an hour and $125 for 90 minutes.
longer treatments (2-hr sessions) are possible. house calls can be made to lower manhattan and anywhere in brooklyn, $135 for 90-minutes or $250 if you book two hour-long sessions in the same location. i also offer couples massages given along with my friend kaia wong.
here is some info on thai for the curious:
Thai Massage, or Nuad Bo Rarn as it called in Thailand, is performed on a mat on the floor. The receiver wears loose clothing like pyjamas. The massage includes stretching, rocking, acupressure and energy work. I use tools such as blood-stopping, organ massage, inversions and a lot of work on the legs. I use my entire body including elbows, knees, feet, and hands. Some other modalities you might find in a session include Skinner releasing and influences from contact improvisational dance.
As you are moved and stretched in a session, your breath begins to join your body and your mind wanders off or becomes more clear. As the session comes to an end you might feel a sense of peace similar to what the Buddha must have felt under the bodhi tree. Thai Massage works along the major lines and energy centers of the body, based on ancient traditions of yogic knowledge along with the influences of Chinese medicine and traditional Thai healing.
I specialize in tight lower backs, hips and sacrums, stiff necks and shoulders and powerful foot massages. I also have experience giving treatments to women during pregnancy. I use extra pillows and blankets to give a completely safe and comfortable massage which is actually beneficial for both of you. You will find some extra space in your lungs and relief for your hardworking back.
Thai Massage not only transforms your tight muscles, it also unblocks mental and emotional stagnation, increases circulation, eases anxiety and depression, relieves stress and nervous tension, and restores balance where it is lacking. It is part of a tradition that goes all the way back to the Buddha's physician, Jivaka Kumarbhacca. He created this form of massage with the practice of metta, or lovingkindness, at its core. Thai Massage is bodywork from the heart: a shared meditation and an offering.
For the full benefits of Thai Massage, I suggest receiving a 90-minute session. This will give your body time to let go of its everyday armor, allowing you to soften and more deeply relax. This also gives me ample space to discover the parts which need extra attention and to spend the time that is necessary to work through the stuck or held places. Of course a 60-minute massage is also very beneficial. Any and all metta is good. Sometimes less is more but in this case more is better.
Jenn Kelly is a dancer, writer, multimedia artist - and an explorer of the mind-body-spirit connection. She is certified in Traditional Thai Massage by Ananda Apfelbaum, in the style of Pichest Boonthumme. She also studied at Lotus Palm School in Montreal with Kam Thye Chow and Mia Blackwell, in the lineage of Ashokananda. Her own practice is a blend of these two schools with a dancer's sensitivity and a natural intuition for the needs of each individual body.
As a dedicated student of yoga since 2000, Jenn has studied Iyengar, Vinyasa, and practiced Mysore style Ashtanga five days a week for three years with Eddie Stern and Sarah Plumer in New York. She also studied Chi Kung intensively with choreographer Daria Fain and worked two years as an intern for Movement Research, studying contemporary dance, Skinner Releasing and improvisation.
After over five years living and working in New York, Jenn moved to Berlin in January 2009.
Jennifer Kelly is one hundred hands and feet all at once. How this acrobatic act of massage is done, I do not know. I had my eyes closed. Her joyful nature is in all that she does and she is wonderfully contaigous. Here's to her magic of untying knots and listening to funny sounds between the bones.
