Jolene Beilstein

Jolene facilitates the practices of forest bathing (Shinrin Yoku), therapeutic massage, and somatic education for individuals and groups. Through touch, breath, movement, and deep listening, she invites participants to explore the embodied language of connection and to navigate their lived experiences with greater ease and discernment. Her approach weaves together immersive experiences in nature, therapeutic touch, and somatic inquiry as gentle, first-person pathways toward integration. Working in partnership with the more-than-human world, she helps others rediscover the innate intelligence of the body and the wider systems that hold it. Jolene’s journey began in 2005 with her graduation from the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy. She later became a certified Hanna Somatic Educator through the Novato Institute for Somatic Research and Training (2019) and a certified guide through the Association for Nature and Forest Therapy (2024). Through Freebird Bodywork, Jolene continues to evolve a practice that connects bodywork, somatic education, and the restorative wisdom of the natural world.
