WORK WITH ME

These pictures mean a lot to me. They were taken on the last day of our aya retreat... I can't help but feel moved every time I witness my GLOW. It took a lot to get here, and this pic feels like proof I'm in #alignment and standing in my #integrity. I left Asia at the end of 2023 after having a vision during an aya ceremony that led me to take a leap towards learning about #plantmedicine and running #retreats. When I landed here a year ago, there was no doubt in my mind I was called to this place. I knew I'd be challenged and I was sure I ended up here to practice 'using my tools'. I fell into my patterns right away - #workaholic caretaker to the rescue! "I got this! No problem, happy to help, sure, can do!" But I also started to speak up. I realized it was the only way a #highlysensitive being could survive in this environment. I felt the weight of burden every time I asked for what I needed, but I also noticed how well it served me to show up for myself in these ways. I learned I AM A PROTECTOR. A guardian. A nurturing mother figure. A FORCE. And as I stepped into this role, it became easier to use my voice. To speak up for myself, for my team, for the guests I made personal promises to. Despite the chaos, I loved the work. I adored witnessing and having a hand in truly transformational experiences. I knew I would reach my limit, but until that time came, I vowed to keep using this as a practice ground... I got better at #boundaries, speaking up, managing my energy and discerning my way through each day. It became clear my true calling is #holdingspace in ceremony, and supporting people through the process of alchemizing emotions. Magic happens within this space - I sing, chant, dance and move in ways I never knew possible, like an ancient dormant part of me comes to life. I realized I don't need to serve the medicine, and this experience w @illusionslicer made that clear - working alongside and learning from those who are called to serve is so rewarding. I feel my work here is done. My imposter syndrome is gone. I have everything it takes to run retreats and work with plants. The wheels are in motion, I'm ready for what's next... !

In this video, I talk about stepping into ceremony and reflecting on how far I’ve come over the past year. I arrived at this retreat center one year ago with a vision in my heart—a vision that came to me during my first #ayahuasca ceremony in Thailand. In that ceremony, I saw myself holding space, dancing, nurturing others, and embodying a wise, grounded presence. But in reality, I was overwhelmed, hiding under a blanket, terrified. The contrast between the vision and my lived experience was stark. But the message from the medicine was clear: “You’re holding yourself back. You need to continue doing the work before you can fully step into this role.” Since then, I followed the calling and came to Central/South America, searching for opportunities to be in this space of healing. I volunteered at a retreat center, and here I found exactly what I needed to grow. I reconnected with the Bird Tribe—the same facilitators from Thailand—and I was invited to be a guardian. That night, the vision I had came to life. I was dancing, holding people, connecting in presence. I had become the woman from my vision. This year has been transformational. I’ve learned to trust my #intuition. I’ve stepped into ceremony not with a plan, but with presence—letting my body move, letting words come through, and being of service in the most natural and intuitive way. I’ve discovered a deep gift: I can feel what people are feeling. It’s an extrasensory ability to sense what others need. Whether it’s words, touch, or space, I know how to show up. And each ceremony confirms the accuracy of that intuition. I’ve stopped being led by fear, and instead, I’m led by knowing. And now I hold space for others to do the same. This is my calling. As I prepare to leave here, I carry the fullness of this experience with me. I’ve walked people through the entire arc—from first consultation call to tearful goodbyes. I’ve seen the glimmer in their eyes as they leave transformed, awakened, and empowered. And now, I’m ready for what’s next. I trust that the universe will place me exactly where I’m meant to be, in service to #healing and transformation. If I can be of service to you, I’d love to hear from you.

I'm in the middle of a big #transition—leaving the job I’ve been at for the past year because I’m finally ready to go out on my own. I’m launching my own #business, building my #personalbrand, and starting to create videos—especially #dancevideos. About two years ago, something wild happened: I became extremely #sensitive to sound. I feel frequency and energy in my body in ways I never imagined possible. It's been intense and honestly pretty hard—motors, speakers, anything man-made overwhelms my system. That’s why I live in a cabin in the woods now—the silence helps me feel grounded and safe. But there’s a gift in all this. My #sensitivity lets me feel music deeply—and that’s where the dance comes in. The first time I stepped onto an #ecstaticdance floor, something in me cracked open. I spent so much of my life being told I was too loud, #toomuch, too intense. That day, all the suppression dropped. I exploded into presence. I arrived. Fully. Since then, I’ve discovered that dancing puts me in a kind of trance where I can channel #joy. Real, radiant joy. When I move, I feel it flow through me—and when people witness it, they light up too. That’s why I’m making these dance videos. I want to share that joy. I want you to #feel it. Can you feel it?

When was the last time you had a #danceparty during a lightning storm? After many hours sitting in front of a screen, I decided to test out my new camera and make time for PLAY. Much of the healing work I've been doing has centered around releasing shame related to being TOO MUCH. I spent most of my life suppressing my too-much-ness, but now I'm making big efforts to become better aligned with my #authenticself. Through the #unmasking process, I've been allowing myself to just BE, regardless of how others perceive me. This journey has led me to tap into feelings of #JOY I had never experienced before... and it turns out it's INFECTIOUS. I'm currently transitioning out of my full-time job - I'm ready to go out on my own and start my own #business, which means putting my authentic self out there so I can attract my people and build #community... not to mention spreading much needed JOY!! #authenticity #dancersofinsta #autismawareness #healingjourney #toomuch #justbe #wellness #motivation #selflove #mentalhealth

Hey yo, what's up? It's me, JGB! Coming to you live, from the Diamante Valley in Costa Rica.

Not so long ago, I started vibrating. Weird, I know. Kundalini awakening, maybe? Whatever it is, it's made me incredibly sensitive to sound / energy / emotion. It's a lot. Too much. Intense. But there's a silver lining! I've come to discover it's given me the ability to FEEL music and emotions carried through sound in such a way that my body can't hold back from 'expressing the music'. It's become my new favorite thing! Dancing. Letting go and allowing my body to perform the music however it flows through me. Sometimes it's silly, playful. Sometimes it's sexy, powerful. Depends on the song. Whatever the tune, it brings me great joy to channel and express the music... so imma keep at it!! ❤️ #dancer #dancevideo #hsp #kundalini #tiktok #dance #performance #danceperformance #lgbtq #healing #healingjourney #spiritualawakening
