Jessica Batha

As a dance artist, embodiment researcher, and somatic practitioner, Jessica Batha explores the ways people experience themselves through movement, sensation, touch, environment, and connection. Her work is informed by a curiosity about the relationships between the natural world, light, sound, space, and the human body—and how these elements can awaken greater awareness, presence, and a sense of interconnection.

Through somatic movement, therapeutic touch, and dance, Jessica creates experiences that invite people to slow down, listen inwardly, and develop a deeper relationship with their bodies. Her practice is grounded in curiosity rather than performance or perfection: an invitation to notice what is already present and discover new possibilities for how we move, feel, and inhabit ourselves.

Whether through an individual session, movement experience, teaching, or choreographic work, Jessica creates space for embodied exploration, connection, and self-discovery. Dance remains an essential part of her creative practice, both as an artist and as a service, while somatic movement and bodywork offer additional pathways into the same fundamental inquiry: how can we become more deeply present to ourselves, one another, and the world around us?.

Jessica Batha holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance Performance and Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University, a Master of Arts and Teaching degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University, a Certificate in Mind/Body Medicine from Saybrook University, and is currently completing the Master of Fine Arts in Dance and Creative Practice at Saint Mary’s College. She is a dynamic faculty member at East Stroudsburg University, where she draws on multiple modalities and years of embodied experience to cultivate intelligent, resilient bodies that love to move and engage with their own embodiment to raise up the community around them.

Rooted in a passion for dance, somatic practice, wellness, and education, Jessica weaves together her work as a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT), 500-hour ERYT yoga practitioner (Boundless Yoga Studio), Associate Somatic Movement Practitioner (ASMP) through the International Somatic Movement Education and Therapy Association (ISMETA), and Master Health and Wellness Coach through the American Health and Fitness Association (ASFA). This unique interdisciplinary foundation informs her company, Adora LLC, which supports individuals in reconnecting with the light that shines from within, fostering healing, balance, and the capacity to move through the world as their most grounded and vibrant selves..

Contact

Every meaningful exchange begins with a small act of contact: a pause, a curiosity, a shared breath, a subtle noticing. In my work, connection begins long before words, through sensation, presence, and attunement.

Each person arrives with a distinct rhythm shaped by memory, imagination, and lived experience.

This is a space where those rhythms are welcomed, listened to, and allowed to unfold.

Making contact for an appointment is an invitation into an ongoing conversation,one grounded in care, curiosity, and the possibility of movement toward healing and clarity.
