There Is a Gate Within You That Has Been Waiting

A sacred Inner place where protection, longing, and wisdom meet — and healing unfolds slowly, gently and safely. Shamanic healing, Sacred Shadow Work, and Reiki for those who carry both a deep longing for connection and an instinct to guard their heart.

Shamanic Healing & Energy Healing for Sensitive, Intuitive Individuals

You don’t need to override your resistance to grow.

You don’t need to push yourself to heal.
You don’t need to be braver.
You don’t need to know what comes next.

You are welcome exactly as you are.

If you are empathic, highly aware, and deeply attuned — you may also carry shame around your fear, avoidance, or hesitation.

What if your protection is not the problem?

The Inner Gate is a gentle, consent-based approach to shamanic healing and energy healing that helps you understand your protectors instead of pushing past them.

This is healing that moves at the pace of your nervous system.

A gentle Shamanic Healing The Inner Gate Approach

You may be here because…

You are sensitive, intuitive, empathic, or highly aware

You may be someone who:

  • Thinks deeply before acting.
  • Feels a strong internal guard.
  • Longs for expansion but tightens at the edge.
  • Withdraws not from weakness, but from wisdom.
  • Feels the tension between who you are and who you might become.

This is not resistance.

This is your Inner Gate.

The Inner Gate Approach

The Inner Gate is the framework that holds all of this work.

It is not something outside of you.
It is an inner place — a threshold within your inner landscape where protection, longing, memory, and wisdom meet.

I call this the Inner Gate.

Through gentle, shamanism, shamanic healing, energy healing, Reiki, and Sacred Shadow Work, we:

  • Meet the protector with respect.
  • Listen to longing without rushing it.
  • Restore fragmented parts of the self.
  • Strengthen boundaries while expanding capacity.

You are never pushed through the gate.
You are invited to stand before it.

How We Work

Inner Gate work unfolds through:

Movements – recognizing where you are
Pathways – choosing how to journey
Sessions – selecting the right container

Slow. Relational. Consent-based.

Smudging & Space Clearing for Ottawa Homes

Your home carries energy — from daily life, past experiences, and emotional transitions. Over time, that energy can feel heavy, unsettled, or simply “off.”

Smudging and space clearing is a gentle, shamanic practice that helps clear stagnant or unwanted energy and restore balance, calm, and harmony to your living space. Using sacred plant medicine, intention, and ritual, I offer in-home space clearing services in Ottawa and surrounding areas for homeowners seeking a lighter, more supportive environment.

This work is especially helpful after moving, during major life changes, or when a home no longer feels like it truly belongs to you.

Guided by Jennifer Malisauskas

The Inner Gate is guided by Jennifer Malisauskas — shamanic healer, intuitive guide, and practitioner of Sacred Shadow Work.

Jennifer’s work is shaped by lived experience, deep listening, and reverence for the protective patterns we develop in order to survive.

Her approach to shamanism, shamanic healing, energy healing, and Reiki is relational, grounded, and consent-centered.

A gentle invitation

You don’t need to decide everything today.
You don’t need to know how deep you’ll go.
You don’t need to push yourself to open.

You are invited simply to begin —
one listening moment at a time.

What is the 20-minute Clarity Call?

The Clarity Call is a short, gentle conversation to help you decide where to begin.

It is not a coaching session.
It is simply a space to ask questions and feel into alignment.

My experience with Jenn was fantastic; she is a kind soul and the work that we did together made an immediate and positive impact on me.

Melissa DunnOntario, Canada

I had the pleasure of attending a shamanic session with Jenn, and it was an incredible experience! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. Jenny’s energy is warm and inviting, and her deep knowledge of shamanic practices truly shines through.

During the session, she guided me through various techniques that helped me connect with my inner self and release any negativity I was holding onto. I felt a profound sense of relaxation and clarity, and I left the session feeling rejuvenated and inspired.

Jenn’s intuition and ability to create a safe space for healing are remarkable. I highly recommend her sessions to anyone seeking personal growth and transformation. I enjoyed every moment, and I look forward to returning for more! Thank you, Jenn

Jennifer, you have been there for me when I felt most hopeless, helpless, stuck, cornered. My sincere and utmost gratitude to you and your work that is just “out of this world” literally, and brings results to me on the same day!! Transformative, gentle, and so powerful are just a few words to describe how fantastic your shamanic work is!! Your healing sessions got me unstuck, and I can regain peace and strength to move forward with clear thinking. I really enjoyed your in-person healing sessions downtown. It was such a delight and honour to meet you in person. You are so caring, kind, understanding, and a great listener, and you know what to do to resolve the issues. The Zoom sessions we have done together are also very powerful! Thank you! I highly recommend Jennifer.

With all my heart I recommend taking an inner journey with Jennifer. She is a genuine powerhouse with solid, trustworthy knowledge. Her skill set is strong and she has a wide variety of techniques packed in her healing tool kit. If you are new to energy healing, you can trust you will be safely guided through inner realms and back by Jennifer. If you are a seasoned healer at a crossroads or needing a little nudge, you will respect her knowledge, ethics and kindness in accommodating your beliefs and experience on the adventure. And, of course, most importantly….you’ll get the results you have been searching for and the answers you have been seeking.

Working with Jennifer changed my life. It opened the doors to deep inner healing that occurred faster in two beginner sessions than months of coaching work or other work combined for years. It got me to the root of my limiting beliefs with regards to relationships and cultivate a healthier relationship with myself, thus improving those in my life. I am so grateful for her guidance and working together.

Working with Jennifer has been a unique experience for me. Her friendly and welcoming attitude and gentle guidance allowed me to explore safely my inner world and uncover the information that I need to grow. Jennifer is always respectfully holding space for me while helping me make sense of my experience. Working with her was a great support to help me befriend my inner shadow world and learn to work with it. She is dedicated and will take the time needed to help. My whole experience with her has been positive.

Thank you for opening a portal into what has been one of the most profound, sacred spiritual journeys that I’ve ever embarked on. I guess the day I saw you aligned really well with the cosmic frequency. So many connections came to fruition. There is just so much, but I am receiving signs all day. I cannot thank you enough for your guidance. Thank you again; words do not express enough of my gratitude. Light and Love

Hi Jennifer, a quick note to say HOW MUCH things have improved for me since our session. I had normal apprehension and anxiety since then and I was able to sleep well and be with the sensation; it didn’t rule me. My presentation went really well. I can’t believe how helpful these Reiki sessions are, you have a client for life!
