Meet Jennifer
I have spent a lifetime exploring how the magic of the Universe creates through us - how each of us get what we get (and why we might not get what we want).Â
As a kiddo, I couldnât have articulated the complex topic of Universal energy, I just knew that as I looked through my momâs pregnancy books when she was pregnant with my brother, that magic was afoot. I was witnessing something miraculous.Â
My first effort for a more tangible understanding of that magic was to explore through the lens of science. In high school, I gobbled up books like âThe Man Who Mistook His Wife for A Hatâ in which a neurologist details how brain disorders manifest in daily life, a beginning of understanding how what we observe in our daily actions is created.Â
In college, I majored in Psychobiology (biological basis of human behavior) and followed that with a Masters in Occupational Therapy. In that career, I specialized in working with people who had traumatic brain injuries. I was introduced to the relaxation response and how that sense of deep peace and safety in the mind created new opportunities in the body.
Perhaps, the magic lay in the connection of the mind and body.
I started asking the question:Â we can work with the mind and body after an injury or disease, but what happens if we are proactive? What happens if we use the power within us to help create what we want before we have an accident, an injury, or an illness? What if we use our power to create forward instead of cleaning up the impact of something traumatic?
At the same time as I was pondering that question, I began my personal journey with fertility and pregnancy. My body took a while to get on board with conceiving. Once pregnant, my pregnancies were healthy - but the first one ended with a Caesarean birth. I felt like a failure (even though grateful to have a healthy child), but I didnât do much differently during my second pregnancy, and again, had a Caesarean birth.
During the early part of my third pregnancy, I knew I needed a different approach; I needed to create forward. I found resources like Birthing from Within, Bradley Birth, Hypnobirthing, and Ina May. The common thread was all about trusting your body, working with the mind to partner with the body for a healthy, positive outcome.Â
The personal work of partnering led me to seek out new education and training that supported this connection. I completed a Health and Wellness Counseling program focusing on alternative and complementary medicine practices. I fell in love with the marriage of a scientific understanding of the bodyâs inner workings and an approach to healing focused on awakening the bodyâs inherent healing ability.Â
I started a private coaching business helping other women to harness the magic and power of the mind-body connection to help them conceive and birth their families. I gathered even more tools. I trained as a labor and birth educator. Studied at the Harvard Mind Body Insitute learning more mind/body practices for better health. Learned Emotional Freedom Technique to ease emotional pain and shift deeply held beliefs.Â
As my practice expanded, I worked with women all over the world. This work resulted in more peace and joy even before becoming Mothers - whether through their own bodies or in other ways. I created the Journey of the Heart meditation series that supported women in all phases of their fertility journey; other alternative medicine providers throughout the world offered these meditations to their clients.Â
Just as I was starting my business, life got complicated. My husband had multiple, extensive layoffs. Various family members (myself included) had medical issues that required exploratory testing or surgery - all with limited or no medical insurance.Â
Over a span of five years, I went from being told by our financial advisor that if my husband and I simply stayed with our saving and investing plan, we would have more than enough money to do anything we wanted⊠to bankruptcy.
My initial response to this was intense shame for the situation and myself. What had gone so wrong? Sure, there were many external factors to point to what âcausedâ the bankruptcy, but I couldnât shake the feeling that something else contributed to the situation. I was heartbroken over what felt like a massive failure.
After being submerged in the pain for a while, I started personally applying the same possibility-opening mind-body tools I used with my fertility clients. While it felt like a stretch because my emotional pain was driven by something external (the bankruptcy) rather than something internal like a pregnancy, this work profoundly shifted me and my understanding of the magic of how the Universe creates through us.
I recognized I was âusingâ money as a measure of my worth and enoughness. That feeling of not-enoughness limited my ability to access the full power of my mind-body connection.
What I needed was a new perspective, a way of understanding myself- and that something turned out to be Soul. In perfect timing, a colleague of mine introduced me to Soul Language - a paradigm that puts tangibility to Soul. Learning how to connect with my Soul and how to talk to my wisdom gave me new truths to counter the ânot enoughâ belief Iâd carried like an unwanted companion.
As I shifted into a new layer of understanding my worth, I experienced more joy and vitality (even before the external change). That joy and vitality brought new growth in the abundance around me. New opportunities presented themselves.
I became a Soul Language practitioner and brought this new perspective of Soul back to my fertility practice and discovered that only some were interested in that level of self-discovery. So I added a practice that focused on creating new life in all areas of abundance - helping people birth their deepest abundance desires.Â
The new practice started in the area of money, but quickly expanded into all types of abundance (health, relationship, business, money) because at their core all forms of abundance are simply divine love in physical form - and the lack of abundance is rooted in not allowing ourselves to receive that love.Â
We get caught up in how to create abundance when we are experiencing a specific type of lack in our lives. But no matter the type of lack we are experiencing, that lack is our Soul calling us to open to receive more. To deepen our love for ourselves. To recognize that we are part human, part divine. To live from that intermingled space of human and divinity. These are the keys to creating forward, to engaging with the magical universe to create what we want.
While my experience with bankruptcy was an intense and challenging season of my life, I wouldnât erase it even if I could because listening to my internal mental chatter about why it happened gave me the next stepping stone to understanding the magic of creating.
When viewed through the lens of Soul, my heartbreaking experience contained everything I needed to shift into a new perspective of myself and create a new life around me; to understand that what I was longing for was a deep belief in myself regardless of what life looked like around me.
As I deepened my own use of my tools, I saw even more clearly how to hold my clients' heartbreak, as they navigate the helplessness, sorrow, and fear that they will never have what they want and help them through it to the other side where they get to experience possibility, joy in the moment, and new levels of abundance.
I now work with clients who are experiencing heartbreak around not having financial flow, wanting a business that matches their purpose, hurting in their relationships, not having the same joy of life they used to have, or feeling like their bodies are betraying them through illness or infertility.Â
I am pleased to bring wisdom and compassion into my work with people to open up to the wisdom of their heartbreak so that they can experience more goodness than ever before
