“We are showered every day with gifts, but they are not meant for us to keep. Their life is in their movement, the inhale and exhale of our shared breath."

Hello there!
Thank you for choosing to open this email - I know we've all been bombarded with Black Friday/Cyber Monday/holiday sale emails. I'm grateful you felt like my Lumen Letter was worth opening after quite possibly being burnt out from peering into your inbox to see yet another email prompting you to buy something.
As a creative type, I personally struggle with the business mindset of marketing and self-promotion. I always seek to speak about my offerings from a place of grounded authenticity rather than gimmicky marketing pitches. I've crafted a gift guide below to share a few ways you can support my small business this gift-giving season, as well as some of my personal favorite gifts to give others.

the gift of personalized wellness
Virtual Luminosity gift card
for: someone seeking personalized holistic lifestyle guidance
Virtual Luminosity sessions are a one-on-one virtual experience that allow me to guide you into greater alignment with your luminous architecture, from anywhere in the world!
Committed to sharing just as specialized and integrative of an experience with my clients as they would receive in person with my Integrative Healing sessions, I design each of my Virtual Luminosity sessions by drawing from a wide array of modalities that I have studied, practiced and embodied in my own lifestyle:
- Lifestyle Design
- Functional fitness
- Yoga (vinyasa, restorative, therapeutic)
- Dance
- Myofascial release techniques
- Injury rehabilitation
- Somatic practices
- Plant medicine support
- Nature connection + ancestral pathways
- Breath work
- Guided meditation
- Stress management tools
- Aromatherapy/essential oils
- Nutrition + supplement guidance

Wherever you are in your movement/health/wellness journey, let's walk along the path towards a brighter sense of well being, together.

the gift of movement + wellness
Virtual Studio Monthly Membership Gift Card
for: those seeking movement guided by nature's rhythms
I designed my Virtual Studio to present options that complement your personal schedule, preferences, and budget. I offer Luminous Flow, my signature holistic movement class that integrates functional fitness, alignment focused yoga, and restorative movement, once a week via live stream and recorded video. Each month's focus for moving is inspired by the cycle of the year; nature is the muse for this movement practice. The Monthly Membership gives you access to all live stream and recorded classes for the entire month, and unlocks special rates to work one-on-one with me through my Virtual Luminosity sessions.
See what we'll be exploring in December below.

DECEMBER // dark
Embrace the blanket of darkness that wraps itself around this transitory month, delivering us from fall to winter.
In the Northern Hemisphere, we encounter the shortest days and longest nights as we approach the winter solstice. When attuned to the cycles of nature, this place among the wheel of the year coaxes us to slow down, settle inward, and metaphorically embody death as we prepare for the rebirth of the world with the return of the light. The symbolism of darkness, in all its myriad forms, is not something to shy away from or be frightened by, but rather to consciously engage with and even feel a sense of comfort from - here lies the rich terrain our movement practice will traverse in December.
It’s time to dance with the darkness.

the gift of self-massage
Yoga Tune Up Balls
for: every single body...we all need this
Another great stocking stuffer, Roll Model® Therapy Balls can be easily integrated into anyone's lifestyle. I highly recommend these products! I personally use my Yoga Tune Up balls regularly for myofascial release work, always travel with them, and enjoy guiding others through the beneficial uses of this deeply somatic release work in private sessions and open classes.

the gift of thoughtfulness
DIY gift ideas
for: those who appreciate gifts from the heart
Whether you're on a budget, feeling crafty, or just want to create something from your hands and heart to gift others, these are some of my favorite DIY gifts to make and give for the holiday season.
- Wildcrafted herbal teas
- Smudge bundles from foraged plants
- Sourdough gingerbread cookies
- Bath salt blends
- Homemade chocolate
- Herbal salves
- Medicinal plant tinctures
If you don't have a practice in foraging wild plants, this may be an opportunity to learn something new...or, you can buy herbs and spices in bulk from a trusted source, like Mountain Rose Herbs. Hopefully, this sparks some fun DIY gift ideas of your own.

May you find the gift in that which cannot be bought, but only experienced in wonder this holiday season.
Luminous love,
Jessica
