Inner Healing with Jennifer

With over 30 years of experience as an Occupational Therapist, I offer a deeply integrative approach to wellbeing.

My practice draws from modalities including sensory integration, polyvagal theory, reiki, kinesiology, breathwork, and flower essences.

This might be controversial and I’m saying it anyway.

I’m older than the internet.

My wisdom is not downloaded.
It has been dug for in microfiche drawers, in library stacks, in dog-eared books and whispered old wives’ tales.

It was learned in rooms with actual humans, in lecture halls, clustered around cadavers, and classrooms and in the support (and occasional chaos) of group learning.

Sharing skills, practising on each other, getting it wrong and trying again, and again.

Reiki shares.
Kinesiology shares.
In-person learning where energy shifts and you can actually feel it.

I learned to sit with a question,
to research, to gather information slowly, to piece together solutions without an algorithm handing me the “top result.”

I don’t know everything, I do know how to learn with people, with books and with curiosity.

And maybe that’s why my clients return, I have lived my learning.

Becoming more myself has meant admitting a few things.

I am absolutely the woman who puts the kettle on and forgets to make the tea.
I negotiate with my alarm clock most mornings.
And I will nearly always see the good in someone first.

For years I thought growth meant fixing those bits.

Now I think it means noticing them without turning against myself.

The scrolling? Information.
The snoozing? Information.
The rose-tinted glasses? Also information.

Soft doesn’t mean foolish.
Hopeful doesn’t mean blind.
Aware doesn’t mean harsh.

This is the kind of gentle self-meeting we practise inside the Joyful Toolkit playful, practical, honest.

What is The Joyful Toolkit?

The Joyful Toolkit is a cosy Sunday evening gathering, held once a month, designed to help you feel like you again.

It’s a playful, practical blend of body based tools and real-life nervous-system wisdom, the kind you can actually use on a Tuesday afternoon when life is lifing.

We meet in a small group (around 8–10 lovely humans) roughly every four weeks. I’ll guide you using my background in Occupational Therapy, Reiki, kinesiology, and nervous system regulation all woven together in a grounded, accessible way. And handily written down in my book, and you receive it chapter by chapter over the course of the workshops (6 in all)

Each month we explore a different theme.
Your sensory system.
Your thought patterns.
How you nourish yourself.
What truly helps you feel steady, safe, and resourced.

This is for the days when you’re holding it together beautifully on the outside but feel a bit frayed at the edges underneath.

The Joyful Toolkit gives you ways to tune into your body, calm the overwhelm, and create more space for joy. And not the performative kind, the steady, sustainable kind that feels like coming home to yourself.

And yes there will be warmth, honesty, and a little healthy hooligan energy too.

Last weekend, at our Imbolc retreat, .mitchell.energyhealer and I invited people to plant bulbs and seeds and something quietly beautiful happened. Just one week later, shoots are already pushing through the soil.

During the day we reflected on the year ahead, choosing intention words and letting them settle. As we wove St Brigid’s Crosses, we shared what those words meant to us not as goals to chase, but qualities to live with. It became a kind of mood board made of hands, soil, stories and laughter.

Our intentions were written on paper and buried in the earth, or written on ribbon and tied to our pots. A gentle promise. A quiet remembering.

We planted:
🌸 Sparaxis bulbs — a native South African flower, also known as the harlequin. Joyful, playful, creative, and resilient. A plant that blooms even in harsh environments.
🌼 Petunia seeds — symbols of hope and resilience, never giving up and bringing sunny, positive energy to a space.
🌿 Hollyhock seeds — growth and abundance, the great cycle of life, death and rebirth.

And the part that still makes me smile? I chose these bulbs and seeds simply because they were the only ones I could find that could be planted in early February. And yet they hold the words that so many of us said out loud, of finding creativity, spending time being playful, of wanting abundance in our lives (the kind that brings in more peace, more joy, more time for self), and to be able to get back up again when life gets heavy.

And you know I’ll like to mix the woo and the science so read on in the comments dear friend 😉

Following on from yesterday’s post.

These are the good days.

A walk in Norfolk under a wide, light-grey sky. It’s quarter past five on a Saturday and it’s still light and I’m feeling my mood lift with it. Can you tell 😂

I do feel the lack of daylight. The dark mornings, the dark evenings, no after-work walks and no time in the garden. Those short days take their toll.

Mid-January to mid-February is the hardest stretch of the year for me, so I’m really welcoming these lengthening days and the gentle shift in me that they bring as my nervous system responds. More light, more time outside, more regulation. It’s subtle but real. And it’s biology, not willpower.

What about you?

I heard Hannah Fry talk about ‘These are the good days’ sometime last year. I even wrote it on a post-it to add to my Joyful Toolkit workbook.

And saying these words is not just a nice idea, the reason to do so is backed by science.

A study by Emmons & McCullough (2003) showed something quietly powerful: people who regularly practised gratitude, counting their blessings rather than their burdens, experienced better wellbeing over the long term.

Not because life got easier, because attention shifted.

This is the art of living well. Not doing more, not fixing yourself, simply choosing better.

That is exactly what the joy rituals in The Inner Toolkit are built on: tiny, evidence-informed practices that help train your nervous system and your attention to notice what’s already here. Not forced positivity. Not bypassing the hard stuff. Just small, repeatable ways back to yourself.

Because Joy isn’t a personality trait or a mood. It’s a practice.

And honestly, these are five very good words to keep in your toolkit.

If you want to learn more come to my next workshop on March 15th (link in bio)!
