Jocelyn Gordon – Health, Wellness and Hooping Guru
Emily Heend  Jocelyn Gordon is not tough to spot. Hoop in hand, daughter in tow, tall and attractive, heads turn when she enters the coffee shop. She exudes radiance, poise and confidence. I can't wait to hear her story.
Jocelyn Gordon is passionate. Which comes as no surprise. Since she was five, Jocelyn has been a student of healing, massage and movement. She studied and emulated the movements of Bernice, her grandmother's reflexologist. She took ballet lessons, read every book on these subjects that she could get her hands on, and eventually became the family masseuse. In the years that followed, Jocelyn immersed herself in what she describes as the "healing arts."  |
