“For years, I lived disconnected from my emotions and trapped in layers of trauma I didn’t even realize were stored within me. Jillian’s sessions have helped me release pain I thought I would carry forever.”

Multidimensional & Intuitive Massage with Energetic & Emotional Release Bodywork

For people who feel controlled by their emotions and struggle with physical pain, tension and body-based stress. If you feel disconnected from your body and overwhelmed in your day to day life, my work goes far beyond the benefits of traditional massage and bodywork.

I isolate not only the areas of tension, physical symptoms, but also the deeper root causes of where your pain is coming from — which 9.5 out of 10 times are emotional or energetic causes.

Changing the way you relate to massage & bodywork.

Massage is more than just massage to me.

Massage is a self-care ritual.

Massage is a ceremony to connect with your muscles, tissues, ligaments and bones and listen to their stories — hear their woes, their achings, their screams and their overzealous moments.

Massage is an opportunity to tap into the deeper dimensions of self and feel and transform the emotional and energetic memories stored in the body.

Innate massage and bodywork creates wellness experiences that hold all the layers of you. Feel transformed by the power of touch and your own innate guidance.

“I have been through 15 years of yoga training, 20 years of therapy, reiki, orthopedic surgeons offices, life coaching, chiropractic care for 17 years and Jillian is the one person who gets into the places that have ailed me for most of my life. You have no idea how much so.”

Loud & Overwhelming Emotions

I assist in identifying the emotions that are in certain areas of the body, grounding your experience by bringing awareness to where those feelings are actually getting trapped in the body (for example, I often see grief stored in the chest area, stress in the shoulders and neck) and I use proven bodywork, energy healing and massage techniques to hold gentle space so that you can release anything that is causing pain (both physical and emotional/energetic).

Physical Pain & Discomfort

I isolate and tend to the specific physical points in the body that are causing you immediate or chronic pain and discomfort, using techniques that allow me to access deeper levels of fascia, muscles, and tension patterns in your body,

I can often move life-long pain and deep injuries to a state of total healing and balance.

Seeking an Empowering Alternative to Western Medicine

People come to me because they haven't found success with the traditional medical system and are seeking an alternative to drugs and surgeries for their pain. My methods & modalities combine multiple ancient practices, modern influences and solid body science to feel into the energetic and emotional root of your pain, and assist in the movement of the tension and dis-ease. I use tools like singing bowls, hot stones, breathwork, pressure and touch.

I offer guidance with the primary focus being on tailoring sessions to your specific needs and preferences, what you are comfortable with, and what is emerging for you in each moment of the session.

Anxious Mind & Stressed Body

People get on my massage table because it's hard for them to shut off their brains with ruminating worries and fears. Our bodies are very intelligent and our physical pain is frequently a manifestation of emotions that remain trapped in our bodies.

My work is specifically designed to help you relax INTO your body, to experience true presence and relationship with your physical state so that you can come back home to yourself feeling more deeply connected, relaxed open and with a much quieter mind.

Jillian Lacasse, LMT, Massage and Bodywork in Jupiter, Florida

Meet me, Jillian Lacasse, the face and heart behind Innate Massage & Bodywork.

I am a therapeutic artist, a body alchemist, and intuitive healer. I am here to build a new world with bold words, radical thoughts and actions and revolutionary embodiment. I am passionate about feeling, continually growing and learning, and infusing vibrant color into every corner of my life.

I bring a warm, sensitive, joyful, bold, and lighthearted spirit to my work. I have been guided by my own healing journey and my fascination with the human body for over a decade.

I completed my Kinesiology degree in my hometown of Windsor, Ontario, Canada then travelled to South and Central America, as well as throughout the United States, including Hawaii, to continue my studies in Ayurveda, Mana Lomi, Thai Massage and Ashiatsu, Maya Abdominal Massage, Sound Healing, Energy work, Inter-personal Focusing, Yoga Teaching and Meditation.

Since moving to Florida, I have studied the Inside-Out Paradigm, Ailey Jolie’s INBODY Somatic Therapy Program, John Barnes’ Myofascial Release, and OneSoma bodywork to incorporate into my practice.

I landed in Florida three years ago to build my private practice and hone in my craft. I am all about combining eastern and western body modalities into personalized and collaborative bodywork and massage sessions that bring my clients back home to their bodies. I specialize in the nervous system, fascia work and the felt sense, to assist in moving emotion and energy while working through the layers and stories that the body holds.

Philosophy & Approach

Innate Massage & Bodywork is built on the concept that every person’s being has the innate wisdom and power to heal from within.

My multidimensional and intuitive bodywork sessions are somatic-therapy informed. The lens I work through is one of tracking patterns of the body, of listening to the words you say and don’t say, and expanding awareness to when the body says enough but the mind wants to force or push. Sessions are focused on encouraging agency and active participation throughout the session with breath, visualization, vocal toning and other somatic tools.

I work in and out of depth and pressure so you can stay within your edges around the amount of sensation you can hold without wanting to check out. I ask for consent in the places that feel more charged and tender — whether that is your belly, hip, or throat.

Everything is at your pace and we work slow to integrate with care and awareness.

I have dedicated my own healing and career to learning how to navigate the terrain of the body. Embodiment is at the core of my work, and everything I guide my clients through all the tools I have integrated and have connected me to my body and my life. It is my greatest joy to be a part of your journey of landing back in your body with more ease, awareness and capacity.
