About Somatic OT 

OT is:
  • holistic
  • biopsychosocial
  • client-centered 
Occupational therapy is a profession focused on helping people "live life to the fullest" (AOTA). Occupations include all of the meaningful activities that make up our lives (not just work). OTs consider the multitude of factors (physical, mental health, cognition, social, environment, more) that can get in the way of doing the things that matter to us.  

At Ease, we specialize in somatic (body-based) techniques to enable living a life of ease, balance, and meaningful engagement in the things that matter most.

We offer two related somatic occupational therapy approaches (see below) that can be engaged in individually or in concert with each other. We love partnering with clients to co-create the most effective process based on their needs and desires. What's meaningful to you is always the starting point.

Testimonials


"My session with Jamien was deeply relieving. Working with Jamien, I felt completely at ease in my body. Her gentle humor helped make the session exploratory and fun. She did some transformative work with my ribs and breathing that continues to help me weeks after our session. The day after my work with her, I felt that a haze lifted. I can’t remember another bodywork session that made me feel such mental clarity. Thank you, Jamien!"
- Patricia Hopper,  Bowenwork Practitioner

"I highly recommend JamienRose.com for anyone who has a body that moves. To dial in how you are already moving, to find where you are not moving, to ease the places that are moving too much, to find your center and move from there. I just went to her Bellevue studio, surprisingly easy to get to from the south end, and so much of my system got to release and unwind. and as I did some movement here on my own this morning I feel the effects of that in my body days later. The one-on-one attention can be like fine tuning your unique body."
- Jennifer Kantzer, LMT, Waterfall Body Therapy

"Before having a session with Jamien, my perception of OT was very limited. Not only does her work help me better align with my goals, but she helps me connect at a deeper level with myself and others. Jamien has an amazingly broad tool set to pull from and holds a beautiful space for the process to intuitively unfold. She incorporates self-discovery dialogues, body work, and movement as needed in sessions. It helps me to create harmonious flow between mind, body, and spirit. Afterwards, I feel more integrated and connected to myself and the world.
​I love that feeling!" - S.W. 

​Working with Jamien takes the definition of healing to the highest level. Our sessions are transformative, both physically and emotionally, and have changed the trajectory of my life. Each session has its own path, it may start with reporting a physical pain or being emotionally stuck. With a gentle approach, she utilizes her multi-disciplinary expertise - listening, working with physical alignment, and asking poignant questions along the way. Soon I feel a shift, in body and mind, followed by a beautiful sense of relief. Jamien is exceptionally capable of simultaneously utilizing her compassion, expertise, and wisdom. No matter what you need to work on, she will meet you where you are, gently offering support along the way.
My level of gratitude for Jamien knows no bounds. I highly recommend her to all my friends in search of ease and meaning in their lives." - A.S.
