My Story
MJ Heart is a cosmic soul who has been a human professional in the Health & Wellness Industry since 2008 holding various job titles through a multitude of opportunities and collaborations. By profession, she has been called : Dance Instructor, Massage Therapist, Bodyworker, Energy Healer, Reiki Master, Yoga Teacher, Movement Specialist, Ceremonial Facilitator, Studio Manager, Studio Owner, and other less descriptive titles that nonetheless make up so much of how she has been seen in the eyes of others.
MJ’s unique approach of blending ancient wisdom with modern modalities allows her to serve her clients and community through a practical lens of contemporary medicinal therapies + psychologies alongside the mystic traditions from ancient spiritual lineages. Her offerings are simultaneously down-to-earth & made of deep magick allowing all who work alongside her to find, align, and remember their own unique place in the energetic whole.
Surrounded by spirits & deeply attuned to the subtle world, MJ’s grandfather was her first teacher on the earth plane : a gifted bodyworker, sports injury specialist, and practitioner of holistic medicine - she learned at his knee the beauty of anatomy and healing practices including traditional western massage, myofascial techniques, acupressure points, reflexology, basic kinesiology, therapeutic exercises, and herbal remedies all by the age of 13.
Despite being light of spirit & deeply attuned to the subtle world, MJ's personal journey with physical disease has been present since her late teens manifesting as long-term challenges within her reproductive system. She was confirmed with a diagnosis of Category IV: Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis in 2009 and has had multiple surgeries to prevent this disease from turning deadly. Additionally, she has been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), additional hormonal disorders relating to the ovaries and thyroid, issues with fertility, and more.
Her ability to cope with these varying diseases and disorders is largely due to her deep relationship to Spirit through mindfulness, diet, meditation, movement medicine, and the inner + ancestral work she has dived into over many years of study. Through her acceptance and work with these detrimental diseases, MJ embraces her bodily trauma and continually works to heal as a physical representation of the divine feminine collective wounds being opened, released, and re-empowered at the current time on the planet. MJ strives to hold a container of safe space and loving compassion for other women who struggle with reproductive health issues and diagnosis through her women’s circles & private work.
Forever a student of life, MJ has continually been trained and certified under worldwide teachers from many spiritual lineages allowing her to employ her soul’s vocation. In honor of her teachers, her lineages, her life’s work, and her soul’s purpose - she graciously gives thanks to Francis, to Sue, to Lynn, to Jay & Jenn, to Silver, to Todd, to Susan, to Bruce, to Coby & Ananda, and the many others under whom she has learned so much… With gratitude for all of the scholarly learning, the certificates of completion, the devotion to her training over the years - MJ is also honored to have been a student of the subtle world since her earliest days of opened eyes on the earth plane.
She additionally thanks her invisible, but no less substantial teachers : her team of spirit guides & cosmic family, all the stars that taught her to shine in the dark, the trees and forest spirits that protected her innocence, the women embodied in blood that showed her resilience, the might of the mountains under which she grew that taught her humility, the depth of the ocean that loved her each summer for her own waves of emotion, the heat of ancient fire that continues to listen intently to her prayers, the voice of the wind whose wisdom graced her with deep silence in order to fully listen, and the countless other forces that most would not acknowledge as the greatest teachers in existence - but MJ bows in gratitude & grace each day in honor and acceptance of them being the best parts that show up within her spirit.
