Consent-focused Somatic Support.
Sliding Scale Prioritizing QTBIPOC.

About

J Sheffield (they/them pronouns)
Located on Nacotchtank (Anacostan) and Piscataway land known as Washington, DC, USA

My path to becoming a bodyworker was encouraged by the burnout in organizing and activist spaces, and I am committed to offering bodywork and somatic support in service of encouraging self and community care. I believe in every client’s own body wisdom and ability to create more space and capacity in the nervous system; I am here to support that, to witness, create a container, and hold space for anything that comes up and wants to be acknowledged. I am a white, queer, non-binary human and I strive to offer work that is accessible, affirming, and accountable to queer and trans folks and Black and Brown folks. I strive to offer work that is consent-based, trauma-informed, race-informed, fat and body affirming, and that honors how, when, and where clients want to, and don’t want to, involve touch. Please know that I consider receiving client feedback a gift to better my understanding and practice.

In many ways, this article feels like a culmination of the last decade, and I am so grateful for all of you who have supported me along this path.

I was wincing and in tears
almost daily before I started getting my weekly massages! I’m super thankful for their sliding scale. Bodywork is a necessity not a luxury!"

J offered me the most thoughtful intake session I have ever experienced and it made all the difference in ensuring my massage was optimized for my comfort and tailored to my needs all the way through."

I don't like being touched by people generally and I felt super comfortable with them because I knew they would be affirming to my identity and also my body."
