WORK WITH ME
1:1 coaching for
safety in your body
Eight weeks of coaching to help you reduce anxiety, resolve disconnection, find safety in your body and compassion for it that stays.
This coaching is for highly sensitive women with trauma histories — women who feel lonely in their depth, uncomfortable in their bodies and afraid to feel their feelings. Whether you're struggling to truly process emotions and events, heal self-loathing or you live with pain in your body you know is emotional, this work helps you resolve emotional pain so you can feel safety in your body that will stay.
You worry you're too broken to heal.
You're so used to internal overwhelm, you can't imagine your life without it. You've tried but you just can't let go of things that've upset you. You feel lonely and not terribly safe talking to anyone because you really are so sensitive.
You feel okay one minute then triggered the next.
You question whether regulation is even possible for you. You numb out and struggle with self-sabotage or harm. You feel anxious regularly. You wonder why you can't move past certain feelings. You want to not be afraid to let your feelings in.
You fear losing control emotionally or worse, being drowned by your emotions.
You can feel that you're holding a lot.
The idea of feeling our feelings, particularly when we feel so deeply, often brings up anxiety, self-judgement and fear.
This fear is not good for you or your ability to be with your body.
IT KEEPS YOU STUCK IN PAIN.
It makes your body seem like the threat. It takes away your peace. It makes it impossible for you to enjoy your life.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
I understand what its like to live outside your body for how difficult it feels to live in. I've struggled too, with past traumas and emotional pain that left me both numb and completely overwhelmed on my inside.
Many deep-feeling, sensitive women struggle to be in their bodies post-trauma. Past and ongoing pain experiences create hypersensitivity in our nervous system, and the false belief that we'll be safe if we just stay quiet.
It makes you wonder whether peace with your body is even possible.
This state of anxious disconnection doesn't have to stay. It is possible to find safety in your body through connection with it. You don't need to avoid feeling – you need support that helps you feel to heal guided by your body, like it's a friend.
Hi, I'm Jennifer
I've been a writer all my life, using journaling and memoir to process experiences and feel connected with myself. My experience of healing myself with writing after a massive trauma led me to a career as a certified Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy and Somatic Writing Coach.
I specialize in helping highly sensitive women resolve the fear of connecting with their bodies that keeps them in perpetual pain. I help them feel present, connected, at peace and whole. I help them heal without feeling overwhelmed along the way.
I created this program because my coaching practice was full of brave, emotionally intelligent women who's healing efforts felt so ongoing they had eroded their relationship with their body.
This coaching isn’t just talking about your pain with a pen in your hand. It’s intentional, somatic work that will shift your relationship with your body and self on a nervous system level.
My clients experience...
Ramona S.
I thank Jennifer so much for her presence in our sessions. It is profoundly healing to know she will stay with me, even when I move through the darkest places...that she won't be frightened away by them. She stays with me and lets me know I am not alone. After working with her, I feel more like myself than I have in a very long time. More expansive on the inside. Softer and stronger both.
Dianna A.
I was unable to resolve deep emotional pain. Jennifer walked me through her process, through which I was able to finally experience true release. I felt the effects of this release in my body for days after. Working with her brought peace to my body and soul. Her intuitive power and wealth of knowledge around how to process suffering was invaluable.
Jessica Martinez
Before working with Jennifer, I felt heartbroken, disconnected and lost. I'd spent years doing exercises from self-help books, energy work and journaling but felt I was just going in circles in terms of my growth. During our first session, Jennifer helped me access my anger. I looked in the mirror after that session and saw light in my eyes for the first time in a long time.
Anne Hofland
As a survivor of childhood trauma, I've suffered my whole life from anxiety, depression, hyper-vigilance and a dysregulated nervous system. I have actively sought healing in many modalities but Jennifer's process is proving the most effective. She provides a safe space to explore the places which are hardest to face. I am finally finding some peace.
THIS ISN'T SOMATIC COACHING THAT FADES AS SOON AS THE SESSION IS OVER – IT'S A LASTING SHIFT IN HOW YOU FEEL INSIDE AND TOWARD YOUR BODY.
EIGHT WEEKS OF SOMATIC COACHING designed to help you:
be aware of your body.
truly process emotions and events.
be in your body as opposed to outside it.
feel part of your body instead of punishing it.
allow sensations and the emotions they bring.
dial down emotional reactivity.
soften overwhelm and anxiety.
be present with your mind and body at the same time.
stop going numb when you're faced with sensation.
stop fearing your feelings.
truly move on from past traumas.
feel safe in your body, and compassionate toward your body and self.
I had epiphany after epiphany during our sessions.
"Before working with Jennifer I had been feeling pretty emotionally stuck and overwhelmed. My biggest struggles revolved around anxiety and the effect it had on my body, as well as my perceived inability to move on from childhood trauma. I have gone though traditional therapy for years, but talking about my problems never seemed to address the trauma that was stuck in my body.
The journal practice Jennifer had me start was HUGE. I've learned how to ask myself questions and HEAR the answers my body gives. I've also been kindly reminded by Jennifer of the magic I carry as a highly sensitive woman and how it's not a curse, but a blessing.
Jennifer is incredibly intuitive and so full of wisdom. She's an amazing listener and has incredible insight into what being a highly sensitive woman is. I had epiphany after epiphany during our sessions. It also felt amazing to have my feelings validated. I'm so grateful I found her, and I'm excited to move forward with my new insights and practices.

Gina MacConnell
I was sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. As a result of working with Jennifer, I've experienced profound healing. Anger that was living inside of me has lifted. Peace and joy. No more panic attacks. I enjoyed her every prompt, even the hard ones. Since working with her, I feel much more at peace. Like the rock inside of me is much softer. I will be forever grateful.
Anastasia Makarova
Before working with Jennifer I felt lost, uncertain, scared and misunderstood. After working with her, my whole life changed! I went through deep transformations. I've started loving myself and become more self-content. I've learned to set boundaries and appreciate my sensitivity. It is a MUST for empaths to have coaching with Jennifer!
Melodye J.
My body feels like an enemy instead of someone I would want to sit down and have tea with. I've found acceptance of myself, internal clarity, less fear and less anxiety through working with Jennifer. My body is becoming my guide instead of the part I need to fight. If you're considering working with her, do it! You won't regret it.
Felicia K.
Before working with Jennifer the biggest issues I faced were self-hate and criticism, unhealed childhood traumas, resentment, rejection and feelings of unworthiness. After working with her, I feel so free and at peace with myself. No other individual has brought about healing in my life in such a short period of time in such an effective way.
You've likely been engaged in healing work for years – trying everything to regulate and find safety in your body from yoga, talk therapy, self-help books, energy medicine and EMDR to journaling on your own.
It's not that you are doing anything wrong.
The nervous system is delicate when it comes to getting out of fear and into safety. When it senses anything new (think: healing progress), it triggers old narratives and pain to keep you safe in what's familiar.
My coaching works because it writes new narratives for you on a nervous system level. I'm fully with you, holding your hand for 8 weeks. Which gives you the time and support you need for your nervous system to relearn what safety actually feels like.
Eight week SOMATIC COACHING program INCLUDES:
1. Pre-Work Questionnaire:
We begin with a Pre-Work Questionnaire to get clear on your struggles and longings. This is a detailed examination of your healing journey: what you've tried, how that's been and your head and heart space coming into this work. Answering these questions will ensure you feel seen and safe before we begin.
You'll feel...
- Understood, coming into our work.
- Clear what you really want from our time together.
- Clearer on the process and discussions we're likely to embrace in our work, covering everything from your high sensitivity and how it complicates pretty much everything in your life, to your nervous system, giving your different parts voice and the relationship between what you hold in your body and how you feel inside your body.
________________________________________________
2. Eight Coaching Sessions (90 minutes each via telephone or Zoom)
We'll meet each week for a 90-minute coaching session, inside which we'll converse, you may do some journaling and through our process, you'll leave with less pain, calmer in your body and feeling softer toward yourself. This gentle unraveling of your story allows for deeper healing each session.
You'll get...
- Guidance to help you connect with your body and emotions
- Journaling time in-session to release emotional pain and integrate trauma.

I'm interested in coaching
I feel hope again.
Before working with Jennifer, I was feeling exhausted, sick and tired of life in general. I had just come into awareness of how my life has always felt difficult for me, how I've never felt comfortable, how just being on this planet in this body has always been hard.
I've been in therapy for many years for my complex PTSD and done a lot of good work but it seemed like the end result was that I increased my capacity to work harder and accomplish more, without ever feeling better. I never felt like I could relax into my life, soften and just feel good. In fact, I hadn't felt anything good in my body in about 2.5 years. I'd tried yoga, changing my food, working on my relationships, all the things.
After working with Jennifer, I feel more like myself than I have in a very long time. More expansive on the inside, softer and stronger both. I feel like I understand a piece of myself that I never have before, and I'm seeing it as a gift rather than a difficulty. And I feel hope again.
I felt very seen and heard by Jennifer and she has made things I thought were impossible for me feel easy. And that is an enormous gift. My sessions with her are the highlight of my week.

Jenna Hull
Working with Jennifer is totally worth it! She is a beautiful space holder. Knowledgeable and humble but also professional and helpful. It’s a gorgeous blend to have both sides in a guide.
Stephanie Affinito
I love Jennifer's prompts! It has surprised me how much is waiting under the surface to write about. Jennifer is amazing. Her presence and energy are very grounding and uplifting at the same time.
Amy Dalton
I'm always hesitant to write glowing reviews but Jennifer is amazing. Her guidance is impeccable, honest and focused. She is kind, expressive, honorable and easy to love.
Tarla T.
I trust Jennifer and her process implicitly. I have made more progress in three months with her than I have in twenty years of traditional therapy.
She holds a light for you and helps you realize it's your light.
"Before working with Jennifer, I felt heartbroken, disconnected and lost. I'd spent years doing exercises from self-help books, energy work and journaling, but felt I was just going in circles.

Jennifer is a genuine badass. As a coach, she has a gentle but fierce strength and lovingly holds space while you excavate your depths, offering caring reassurance. She holds a light for you and helps you realize it's your light. The light you thought for sure had died out and she's standing there at the end of the tunnel saying, "See? Isn't it beautiful?"
