Discover What’s Holding You Back

Your struggle may be about more than what’s happening on the surface.

Using a blend of compassionate conversation, shamanic healing & energy medicine, shadow work, guided journeys, Reiki, and intuitive insight, each session is tailored to your unique needs.

Sometimes we know exactly what we’re struggling with, but we don’t understand why it keeps happening, why we can’t seem to move beyond it, or why the usual ways of working with it haven’t been enough.

What you’re experiencing today can be influenced by many interconnected layers—your thoughts and emotions, beliefs and patterns, what your body is holding, ancestral influences, past-life or karmic experiences, shadow beliefs, and other aspects of yourself that may exist beyond your everyday awareness.

My work helps you gently explore the deeper landscape surrounding what you’re struggling with—so we can begin to understand what is contributing to it, what is asking to be healed, and what may finally be ready to change.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, caught in repeating patterns or difficult relationships, struggling to let go, unsure of your next step, navigating a life transition, or simply sensing that something feels “off,” our work is about gently exploring what’s beneath the surface—in the space beyond the thinking mind, where deeper healing and insight can emerge.

Together, we’ll gently uncover the deeper patterns, beliefs, emotions, thoughts, sensations, and unseen influences that may be keeping you from feeling like yourself, finding clarity, creating healthier relationships, trusting what you feel and need, and moving forward in your life.

Your Struggle Has a Story

Somewhere along the way, you may have learned to fit in rather than fully be yourself.

Perhaps you’ve spent years looking outside yourself for answers, approval, or validation. You’ve worked hard to understand yourself and heal, yet something still feels missing.

You may feel emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, weighed down by old experiences, or caught in patterns that keep repeating. You may simply know that something is holding you back, even if you can’t quite name what it is.

What if there’s more to your struggle than what you can see on the surface?

Our struggles can have many interconnected layers—our thoughts, emotions and beliefs, what our bodies are holding, life experiences, ancestral patterns, shadow beliefs, and, within a shamanic understanding, past-life, karmic and other influences beyond our everyday awareness.

Through compassionate conversation, intuitive guidance, shamanic healing, guided journeys and energy healing, I help you explore these deeper layers, uncover what may be contributing to your struggle, and work with what is ready to be healed, released or transformed.

Because this work isn’t only about feeling better. It’s about creating space to grow, expand, trust yourself more deeply, and become more fully who you are.

Perhaps This Feels Familiar…

You may not always know why you’re struggling. You just know that something doesn’t feel right, something keeps repeating, or something is getting in the way of feeling fully like yourself.

You’ve lost touch with yourself — after years of looking outside yourself for answers, approval, or validation, you’re not always sure what you want or need anymore.
You’re carrying too much — stress, emotions, responsibilities, old experiences, or the needs of others have left you feeling overwhelmed, drained, or emotionally heavy.
The same patterns keep showing up — in relationships, people-pleasing, overgiving, self-doubt, or situations you thought you had already moved beyond.
Something is difficult to let go of — a relationship, hurt, fear, regret, old story, or experience from your past still feels present.
You struggle to trust yourself — your choices, feelings, intuition, boundaries, or the quiet voice within you.
You don’t quite feel like yourself — something feels off, unsettled, or out of balance, even if you can’t explain exactly why.
You’re at a turning point — something in your life is changing, ending, or asking you to consider who you are and what comes next.
You’ve already done a lot of inner work — perhaps through therapy, personal growth, healing, or spiritual practices, yet you sense there is something deeper still asking for your attention.
You know there’s more to who you are — you’re ready to move beyond simply coping or getting through and toward greater clarity, freedom, connection, and a life that feels more fully your own.

Why We Lose Ourselves

I believe most of us don’t lose ourselves overnight.

It happens slowly, often without us even realizing it.

We adapt. We learn who we need to be to feel loved, accepted, safe, or successful. We become the peacekeeper, the achiever, the caretaker, the one who stays quiet, or the one who puts everyone else first.

Life shapes us too. Relationships, loss, difficult experiences, expectations, beliefs, and patterns we’ve carried for years can all influence how we see ourselves and how we move through the world.

Along the way, we can stop listening to ourselves.

Our intuition grows quieter. We doubt our feelings, ignore our needs, question what we know, and sometimes become so accustomed to being who we needed to be that we’re no longer sure who we are underneath it all.

But I don’t believe healing is about returning to the person you once were.

Life changes us. Healing changes us too.

It’s about becoming curious about what has shaped you, tending to what still needs attention, and letting go of what no longer needs to define you.

And sometimes, having the right kind of support can help you begin to see what you couldn’t see on your own.

How this work begins

Grounded in Spiritual Alchemy, Energy Medicine and Ancient Wisdom

You don’t have to have this all figured out before you come.

You don’t need to explain it perfectly
or understand why you’re feeling the way you do.

Even if it feels messy, unclear, or hard to put into words—
that’s enough.

We can start from there.

What we do together

We slow things down and look at what’s actually going on beneath the surface.

Not just what’s happening in your thoughts—
but what you’re carrying emotionally and energetically.

Some sessions are quiet.
Some bring clarity.
Some help release what’s been sitting there for a long time.

It’s not about forcing anything to change.

It’s about giving your system the space to settle…
so something deeper can start to shift on its own.

My work unfolds in two ways :

Inner Listening Shamanic Healing Sessions help you understand and work through what’s underneath, at the root, of your issues.
Energy Healing Reiki Sessions help your system settle, clear, and rebalance.

You don’t need to understand any of that for it to work.

We simply follow what’s showing up for you, and begin there.

I would love to hold space for you

You Might Recognize Yourself Here

You might not have the exact words for it.

But something feels… off.

Maybe you feel:

heartbroken, even if time has passed
overwhelmed by things that didn’t used to affect you
mentally stuck on someone or a situation you can’t fully release
emotionally heavy without a clear reason
energetically drained after certain interactions

And alongside that:

It’s not always obvious what’s wrong
You feel overwhelmed or emotionally heavy, even when nothing is “wrong”
You’re sensitive to other people’s energy and don’t always know how to clear it
You keep finding yourself in the same patterns, even when you try to change them
You overthink decisions or second-guess yourself afterward
You feel both capable… and somehow held back at the same time
You want to feel more like yourself again, but aren’t sure how

It can be frustrating.

Especially when you’ve already tried to work through it.

You don’t have to figure this out on your own.

If something here resonates, we can begin there—gently, at your pace.

Meet Jenn

Shaman, Spiritual Medicine Keeper, Energy Healer, and Intuitive Guide.

For over a decade, I’ve had the privilege of walking beside people as they navigate life’s challenges, transitions, and deeper questions. While I use shamanic healing, energy healing, guided journeys, and intuitive insight in my work, I believe the most important part of healing isn’t the modality—it’s creating a space where you feel safe enough to reconnect with yourself.

My role isn’t to tell you who you are or what decisions you should make.

It’s to help you discover what your own inner wisdom has been trying to show you all along.

Every session is guided by compassion, curiosity, and respect for your unique path. Together we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface, gently uncover what may be keeping you stuck, and create space for greater clarity, confidence, and peace as you move forward.

Healing isn’t about fixing you.

It’s about helping you remember that the wisdom you’ve been searching for has always been within you.

I am currently continuing my Sacred Alchemy Training with Pete Miskwa Kimiwan of The 8th Fire School — Way of the Medicine Keeper, a two-year intermediary training in Medicine Work and studying Celtic Shamanic practices with Meri Fowler of the Greenwood Celtic Shamanic Wiccan Tradition

Healing doesn’t happen all at once. From time to time, I’ll share gentle reflections, guided practices, upcoming gatherings, and insights to help you reconnect with yourself—delivered with care and never more than you need.

Welcome to my cozy healing space in the Alta Vista area of Ottawa

This is a place where you can come as you are.

You don’t need to have everything figured out.
You don’t need to have the perfect words.

If something in your life feels heavy, stuck, overwhelming, or difficult to name—
you’re welcome to begin there.

Perhaps you’ve already tried to think your way through it.
Perhaps part of you is longing for a gentler, deeper approach—
one that includes the body, the emotions, the energy beneath the surface, and the parts of you that may simply need space to be listened to.

I offer one-on-one sessions that weave together shamanic healing, energy work, intuitive guidance, and deep listening.

Together, we create space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and gently explore what may be ready to shift—at your own pace.

The Deeper Layer

Sometimes what you’re feeling—overwhelm, disconnection, or that sense of being stuck—
isn’t just about what’s happening on the surface.

It can come from being a little out of contact with yourself.

Not in a dramatic way.
More like something subtle…
where your sense of clarity, steadiness, or inner knowing feels harder to reach than it used to.

You might still be functioning, showing up, doing what needs to be done—
but underneath that, something feels off.
Like you’re carrying more than you should have to on your own.

In this work, we don’t try to force that connection back.

We begin by slowing things down and listening to what’s already here—
including the parts of you that have been holding things together for a long time.

And from there, something begins to shift.

I am a seed lying deep within the earth.
Resting and waiting.
Knowing my worth.

I begin to stir.
Awaking from my sleep.
Layers of rock and soil above me.

I feel a spark familiar and new.
As all those who came before
Trusted the call to start moving through.

As I go through the layers
Feeling dark and small
Things begin to change as I grow study and tall

I sense the world above
Where the airy breezes blow true.
Am I ready flood through.

With a crack, I feel the earth split
I open to a world bright, brave and new

No time to stop.Where the sun shines bright,

I expand, grow outward
For all to be seen.
I sit on a landscape so fresh, so green.

I exhale, and breathe deep
All around me is a world so
I fit in, I align with know I am a part want to know who I am in this divine to save

It’s only when the rain begins to fall That I remenber who I am so frightened so small.

I trust what’s up there

For me to receive Moving t

You don’t need to know exactly what you need before you begin.

Most people start with what feels closest—
and we go from there.

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.

Jennifer is kind, thoughtful & understanding, which allows me to be completely comfortable about opening up, it’s made a difference for me.

Maureen WalshLocal real estate agent - Ottawa, Ontario, Canada–lindsaymaureenco.com

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’ve been drawn to this work for as long as I can remember. The energy felt like it was dancing all around me and lifting me up. It felt like I was launched gently upwards and onto a much higher plane. Always feeling completely free and protected. I’ve been coming for a little over a year now and feel like I’m 180 degrees different and for the better. People closest to me are seeing the changes and are happy for me.

ClientShared anonymously at the client’s request

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.

A.S.Physician - Alberta Canada

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.

R.AGovernment Employee - Ontario, Canada

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.

J.M.Retired Admissions Officer - Ontario, Canada

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

M.T.Therapist - Ontario, Canada

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!
