Co-regulate with me
Receive the touch you want
Feel less alone
with JoJo Phoenix Frank
Do you often feel lonely even when you are around others?
Would more safe, intimate, platonic touch improve your quality of life?
Does being in your body feel complicated or difficult?
Hi. I’m JoJo Phoenix or “JP”.
I’m here to hold you and help you grow.
Thank you for your curiosity. I hope you can stay with me while I explain the unique work we can do together!
This is not like conventional therapy. Here, our relationship is a space to experiment, learn, and practice being close and intimate, physically, and emotionally. I slow things way down by breathing spaciousness and care into into everything we do.
I balance providing nourishment with encouraging growth: trying different things together with careful consideration of supporting your nervous system. This is the space where learning and insight happen.
Through a clear platonic container, I help you sense, value, and communicate your desires and boundaries. I hold very clear boundaries myself and only say yes to things I am a full-hearted yes to so that you do not have to take care of me or worry about making me uncomfortable.
Touch and closeness are where most of us have experienced rupture, so this can be scary. Touch is only incorporated if and when it feels right for you. I welcome you, brave one. Let me be your equally rooted and tender guide. Let’s do this courageous, transformative work together.
I have been guiding people in trauma-informed embodiment practices and consensual touch for over 10 years and have trained over 700 people in how to facilitate trauma-informed movement and embodiment spaces grounded in physiology and neuroscience.
“I came to JoJo Phoenix initially for help with healthy boundaries and self-advocacy. I received that and also learned how to listen to my body and create a deep sense of internal safety and acceptance. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s changed my entire life for the better.”

My job is to help you listen to your body and nervous system. My questions always seek to bring you closer to yourself, and you are invited to verbally share only when it feels therapeutic for you to do so.
Each session starts with a check-in, verbalizing our agreements (I will teach you these) and then I guide you in choosing how to start our session. The entire session is for you, it is all for you.
Our sessions do not need to include touch! We work from a point of connection and relating at the pace that best supports your nervous system. At times, we may practice stretching your capacity for connection without flooding your nervous system (overwhelming you). This is where growth happens.
Sessions including touch can include a wide range of platonic, consensual touch from holding hands, hugs, gentle massage, head rubs, to cuddling.
None of this can happen without knowing what our limits are. I am very clear in what I am and am not available for with you. And I bring equal parts tenderness and boldness to support you in meeting your edges and setting clear boundaries in our sessions and in your life.

A unique touch component
Just as touch (and lack thereof) can be a source of hurt and harm, touch can be deeply nourishing and healing. Yet, there are very few therapies that holistically address the area of touch. By offering clients the unique opportunity to practice reciprocal, non-sexual touch, I support you in becoming more embodied, attuned, and skillful in navigating your and others’ limits and desires.
I travel nationally teaching a form called Contact Improvisation where people come together in a non-verbal container to play, express, and physically connect. Through this practice, and my training with Dr. Betty Martin, founder of the School of Consent, I have helped hundreds of individuals to become more skillful and comfortable with physical closeness.
“JoJo Phoenix has a beautiful way of creating space that breaks down walls in the most safe and loving way. I feel open to new creative potential in my life.”

The Logistics Part
I am based in Missoula, Montana and can travel within 45 minutes for sessions
If you are interested in sessions with me, we start with you filling out an intake form and engaging in a 30 minute call with me.
When you book a call with me, I will send you the intake form.
The intake and call help us determine if we’re a good fit. If we both feel good about moving forward we book sessions!
I love my work and I want to meet you!
I utilize a sliding scale based on ability to earn, inherit, and pay. This is a unique model and we will discuss it in your initial free 30 minute call.
Sliding scale: $80-$150 per 60 minute session
