The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.

Testimonials

"Knowing Jenna as a therapist, I can’t help but appreciate how she creates space for profound self-discovery through gently encouraging vulnerability and introspection in a safe and grounded bubble of support. Her facilitation is genuine and never feels scripted, and she has a true gift for somehow providing exactly what you might need in the moment, whether it is through thoughtfully chosen music, deep empathy, or in providing a framework for appreciating the insane beauty and madness of life, and the rhythm of nature."

Kristina

I was put at ease with Jenna’s thoughtfulness, as she made me feel cared for, safe, and anchored as a vessel of accepting flow of energy.

Desiree

"Jenna is extremely professional in guiding a first timer through the reiki process. She was compassionate, empathetic, and exceptionally knowledgeable with regards to any concerns, techniques, and in the after session description. She is a wonderful soul that aided in a new avenue of exploration for me, and I would highly recommend her services to anyone.” 

Tara

Energy healing does exist. Having the session at a distance, I was unsure if it would work. IT DID! My first reiki experience was with Jenna, and it was beyond anything I could have expected. I am still, two months later feeling the positive effects! It was magical feeling energy go through my entire body with love and colorful light fulfilling me. Jenna has an amazing talent and sets a comfortable stage for real transformation. Having such a clear, understanding person explain and support at a distance was life-changing. The experience left me feeling there is much more than coincidence. I can’t say enough positive things. I am very excited to have the experience and can’t wait to learn more about reiki now!

Denise

Jenna utilizes her incredible gift of Reiki and music into an immersive relaxation experience. I felt so much energy flowing through my body. I was incredibly relaxed and empowered after my session with Jenna. 

 

 

I felt like I worked through several past traumas and some heavy energy that I was carrying. I feel so cleansed and ready to create and play after my reiki session!
