After working with clients for over six years and being witness to their incredible transformations through their work together, Jennifer rebranded her business to describe what the experience is like - Leaping into Light! Jennifer first started her official journey into the healing arts when she learned Reiki while working for a Seeing Eye Dog facility. The BodyTalk System was suggested to her as a vocation which would challenge and fulfill her analytical, personable, and generous nature. Shamanic work came into her path a few years ago, and she has been studying with Marti Spiegelman, learning predominantly the Peruvian Lineage of healing and consciousness work. She was blessed to take a trip to Peru in the Spring of 2013, to study with indigenous shamans (called pacos). The initiation experience has profoundly deepened her healing work with clients. Jennifer is particularly interested in the emotions within the bodymind and how it affects one’s physical and energetic state in subtle, yet powerful and meaningful ways. In her own life, she has had amazing transformations and experiences through the use of Shamanic work and BodyTalk. Throughout her pregnancy, Jennifer and her baby received BodyTalk sessions. She also performed BodyTalk on herself during labor to help dilation and beliefs about pain and long labor. Because of this, her first child was born at home, quickly, calmly and safely. Prior to setting up her practice, she worked with non-profits doing social and scientific writing and research. Jennifer received her undergraduate degree with highest honors (Phi Beta Kappa) from a liberal arts college, and a graduate degree in biology from UC Davis. Because of this solid educational foundation, she brings a balanced perspective to her sessions to bring about optimal holistic wellness.
