Jennifer Marriott

LMT,RYT-500 and VT Licensed physical Educator

Jennifer is the dedicated owner and founder of Blackbird Wellness VT, and she has played an instrumental role in the wellness community for many years, dating back to her teenage years. As a former competitive and collegiate athlete, she quickly developed a deep intrigue for alternative wellness practices, particularly as she sought effective methods of healing that would help her recover from various injuries sustained during her athletic career. Her ongoing journey of recovery and exploration led her to discover a diverse combination of treatments designed to enhance well-being, including proper nutrition, acupuncture, chiropractic care, yoga, fitness, massage therapy, craniosacral therapy, and many more holistic approaches. Although there was not one singular treatment that facilitated her recovery and self-discovery, craniosacral therapy emerged as the most profound, gentle, and inspiring of all her experiences. Her personal injuries, especially those involving head trauma and episodes of depression, prompted Jennifer to focus her attention on craniosacral therapy as her preferred modality for both giving and receiving healing. Since becoming a practitioner in 2012, she has engaged in extensive self-study and professional development, which has included completing numerous courses and trainings, leading and guiding various yoga and fitness classes and workshops, as well as offering bodywork therapies such as massage and craniosacral therapies, among other beneficial practices.

Her intention as a practitioner is to hold space for clients to rest, recover, and renew their connection with self. As a high school teacher in the wellness department specializing in Yoga and Mindfulness, she teaches over 100 students a semester, instilling in them the values of self-awareness and inner healing. She extends this nurturing approach to adults as well, recognizing their unique challenges and experiences.

She believes that true healing happens within; the body is very intelligent and knows what it needs. With time and space, the body discovers the truth and settles in, feeling deeply connected, calm, and peaceful. This state of being becomes a gateway for expression. Healing from an injury—whether it is physical, mental, or emotional—requires time, dedication, and compassion towards oneself.

This process is recognized as the ‘journey’ towards understanding. Jennifer is here to support clients of all ages along this journey, honored to be an active participant in their exploration of self in an ever-changing and evolving world.
