Healing Arts Practitioner

Hi! My name is Jocelyn Gordon, and I am excited and grateful to receive your visit to our site. LoveMovement Healing Arts has been waiting a lifetime to be birthed, and I am just so happy to share our offerings with you. Here’s a little insight into the origins of this practice and what I hope our future will bring...

My healing arts journey started when I was five years old. My Grandmother regularly received reflexology from a woman named Bernice. I would watch Bernice and then emulate her movements. My family was very happy to be on the receiving end, and to this day, when I go home, I am expected to massage feet. The same year, I started to study ballet. My mom says I was miserable in class. This is hard for me to imagine, because dance is absolutely my most favorite form of expression.

When I could read, I devoured just about anything metaphysical, and having to do with paranormal phenomena. I was constantly trying to bend metal, and astrally project myself to some other dimension. Fortunately, I was not attracted to developing pyrokinetic skills!

At the age of eight I began to have Petit Mal Seizures in my sleep. For two years I was on Phenobarbital, a powerful barbituate. When I was 10, I started to identify the early sensations of the seizures. Internally I would say "No!" Unbeknownst to me, I was developing my mind over matter and self-healing abilities. I have not had a seizure since. 

Life went on. I went to college, took a year off, graduated and “settled” into a New York City high profile lifestyle. Between managing fashion shows, doing Artist and Repertoire work, and styling musicians (Fugees, Smashing Pumpkins) and actors (Warren Beatty, Halle Berry), I felt tugs of in-authenticity. I was in my 20's, immersed in a great “scene,” and yet I did not feel like I had a purpose or passion to be there. I weaned myself out of the scene, started selling advertising space in two major publications and began to reflect upon what made me tick.

In 1997, I discovered pan-African dance and yoga. While heavily studying Haitian dance and Samba, I also got into a strong flow style yoga practice. I began to remember those moments sitting in my Grandmother’s chair and watching her receive a foot massage. I remembered the feelings I had choreographing pieces for my high school dance troupe. These memories and feelings declared themselves as “I Love Movement!”

I enrolled in Massage School and the rest you can say is herstory unfolding.

Several certifications later, unending hours of self-reflection, forgiveness and healing bring me here now. My desires have merged to reach for the stars and to participate fully in life on earth. LoveMovement is my starchild born on earth. I wish to share with you my love of movement, and in doing so, I hope you are inspired to settle into your body, connect to your true purpose, develop your inner healer and live a life of joy.

I look forward to learning about your motivations, dreams and goals. Most importantly, I look forward to moving and healing with you.
