Welcome Jacob Gilbert!

Collective Wellness and Spa is thrilled to introduce our newest massage therapist, Jacob Gilbert.

Jacob was born and raised in Kentucky and graduated from Bullitt East High School in 2003.  He pursued a career in EMS and earned an EMT-B license.  After working in this field for several years, Jacob furthered his education and career to earn a paramedic license and associate degree from Western Kentucky University. Jacob felt inspired to explore alternative/naturopathic healthcare after experiencing years of traditional healthcare.  He grew up spending time around his father’s physical therapy clinic and was encouraged by many friends and family to explore massage therapy due to his natural ability.  Jacob enrolled in and completed massage therapy school and received his massage therapist license.

 Jacob continues to further his knowledge and grow his career in naturopathic medicine.   His philosophy of healing is this:  prevention, maintenance, diet, and exercise.  Jacob believes that if you are informed, have a balanced practice of both western/traditional and alternative/naturopathic healthcare practices coupled with a strong individual belief, you can heal and feel better. 

Currently Jacob is taking appointments the 4th Saturday of each month. He will be adding additional days soon!

You can book with Jacob here:

BREATHWORK WITH CHRISTINA GADLAGE

January 25, 7:30 - 8:30pm

The practice of holotropic breathwork combines accelerated, controlled breathing with expressive music in a comfortable setting to access altered states of consciousness, reach a state of wholeness, and influence your mental, emotional, and physical states.

With the eyes closed and lying on a mat, each person uses their own breath and the music in the room to enter a non-ordinary state of consciousness. This state activates the natural inner healing process of the individual’s psyche, bringing the participant a particular set of internal experiences. With the inner healing intelligence guiding the process, the content brought forth during the session is unique to each person and that time and place. While recurring themes are common, no two sessions are ever alike.  Each person's experience with breathwork is unique, self-directed, and unfolds on its own as the practice progresses.

The primary principle of this technique is that healing comes from within the person practicing breathwork and is intended to help the participant come away feeling personally empowered. You and your breath become the source of answers to questions, insights to challenges, freedom from feeling stuck and lost in life, and a source for downloads on what's next for you, your life, your finances, relationships, health, and your purpose in the world.

Class cost is $30

Please bring a yoga mat, blanket, small pillow, eye mask, and water.

To all of our wonderful clients, a big heartfelt THANK YOU for your support for the practitioners and instructors at Collective Wellness and Spa. It has been a blessing getting to know each of you and working with you on your healing journey!

May we ask you a favor? We want to continue to grow Collective Wellness and Spa, and be able to offer more workshops, events, and services. If you could take a few minutes to write us a review about your experience, we would be immensly grateful!
