Additionally, as a mother herself, Jen also has special interest in working with moms and moms-to-be: from nuanced conception prep (including onsite IVF/IUI support), to holding a healthy pregnancy, to postpartuum support, matrescense and beyond.

It treats at the Spirit level - the deepest aspect of our energetic bodies (spirit - mental - physical).
Treatment focuses on healing at the deepest layer of self, of truth - leading to greater clarity, connection and alignment in life.
