Education and Certification

I am a Licensed Massage Therapist working in Grand Rapids, MI.  I graduated from the Michigan Institute for Healing Arts and Sciences in 2008.  I specialize in relaxation, improved function and relief of chronic complaints through a unique combination of client education and hands-on treatment.  Most clients see me for my Signature Session in which I combine techniques from my training in John Barnes Myofascial Release, CranioSacral Therapy, Manual Lymph Drainage, cupping, heat application, kinesiotaping and Trigger Point Massage.  I have helped clients with a variety of issues such as headaches, stomach aches, depression, anxiety, back/neck/arm/shoulder/leg/foot/joint pain, TMJ, Bell's Palsy, ankle swelling and stress.

Professional and Versatile

I support people in being more present and centered through a variety of bodywork techniques that help to identify the underlying causes of stress and pain. 

I create a safe space for clients to deeply relax and unwind as I listen to their spoken needs and follow the strain patterns in their tissues.

I have had the honor of seeing many people for their first bodywork session.  It is my intention to create a safe, open atmosphere so that you receive what it is you are seeking.  I welcome feedback throughout your session.  I am trained in a variety of techniques and want to work with you to discover what brings you the most relief.

Jamilah not only observed what was going on with my body, but asked and listened to what I had to say as well.

She let me know that she felt a lot of energy as she was working on me. I felt that was a good sign that she knew how to handle healing an individual in bringing in divine light from the universe.

She listened to me before beginning the treatment. She is knowledgeable and friendly. The treatment was relaxing and enjoyable. I will be going back!

Jamilah took the time to really listen to me and help me get some relief from my persistent back pain. I really appreciated my session and look forward to scheduling another.
