Jacqui Neurauter, C-iRest
About Jacqui Neurauter, BodyMind Therapy Coach and Certified iRest® Practitioner and her independently owned and operated private practice:
Jacqui utilizes iRest® Yoga Nidra with coaching to help people navigate transitions, manage stress, chronic pain and trauma, find meaning, purpose and passion.
She listens, encourages and asks questions you might not ask yourself. She helps you see possibilities and options, overcome obstacles, and helps you restore resilience. She provides space for restoration to unfold and the heartfelt desire of your life to be revealed. You’ll rediscover an inner strength to help you meet each life circumstance with the perfect response.
How does the body enter into all of this? Compared to other cultures, we tend to be less in our body. Our bodies have become hijacked by our thinking minds. She works with therapies that welcome the body as an equal partner with the mind.
What is iRest® Yoga Nidra Meditation?
Short for Integrative Restoration, iRest is rooted in an ancient meditation practice incorporating mindfulness and somatic processes that produce deep relaxation and allow for deep inquiry. Adapted by clinical psychologist and yogic scholar, Richard Miller, iRest increases your ability to cope with life and enriches your sense of well-being. Research has shown that iRest alleviates the effects of:
- Anxiety
- Chronic pain
- Post-traumatic stress (PTS)
- Insomnia,
- Depression
- Addictions
This profound guided meditation is ideally practiced in a relaxed position either lying down or sitting comfortably. It can be experienced in a group setting, as well as individually as a co-meditation with a facilitator. The practice enables emotions and beliefs to surface and be explored. As a stand-alone therapeutic and coaching process, iRest is also a complimentary adjunct program that partners well with traditional and psychological therapies.
