While visiting London this week I think they got one of my all time fav RomCom’s wrong…If you look for it JOY Actually is all around you. Joy Actually should have been the name of that classic every girl my age beloved Hugh Grant British Romantic Comedy of the early 2000’s instead of Love Actually. Now I’m not […]

I’m not sure… but I hear they do. I definitely don’t do this pose anymore, so why not try blogging? 🙂 Ten years ago when I started my first blog “Happy Tummy” I used to really enjoy both the cathartic and connective elements of blogging. I’m excited to re-engage this practice with you all. My […]

“An unparalleled amount of energy and enthusiasm to our national conference”

“Jessica Brustad brought an unparalleled amount of energy and enthusiasm to our national conference. Her speaking style is wildly entertaining, authentic and relatable, and her content was brilliantly insightful and unique.

“I can’t wait to take another class with her!”

“There are several reasons why I think Jessica is great and why I think others would be interested in trying a class with her. 1. She listens! She asked me about what type of experience I was looking for and then customized the lesson for me. 2. She’s real! I really had no idea what I was doing. That didn’t stop Jessica from giving me a great experience. She didn’t make me feel silly for not knowing where to put my feet or how to position my body. She made me feel 100% comfortable in my own skin. He own confidence in her skill translated to me and made me feel confident and safe. 3. She’s fun! Jessica ensured that my experience was fun. Her personality and her heart totally came through during the class. She is truly invested in making sure everyone has a good experience and whether that means adjusting your body, adapting the session to meet your needs, or helping you dig deep within yourself she is there for you. I can’t wait to take another class with her!”

“She has an incredible ability to quickly bring a group together and she brings a joyous authenticity”

“I began to laugh with Jessica almost three years ago, and I feel so honored every opportunity I get to share the experience of laughter with her and everyone she teaches. She has an incredible ability to quickly bring a group together and she brings a joyous authenticity to the silliness of many life events. She has created a space for us to act like kids again, with spontaneity, big laughs, and an openness to taking challenges in life a little less seriously. I have particularly enjoyed her focus on improv because it has provided more opportunities for the whole group to take leadership at times too. Each time I finish one of her classes I feel a sense of love, contentment, and connection. Thank you so much.”
