I’m Jennifer, an RN, a Holistic Yoga and Thai Massage Therapist and an occasional hot mess.

I am guessing you are feeling stuck, bored, fearful, guilty and an occasional hot mess too since you are reading this.

I hear you! I know you! I am you!

Somewhere in my early 40s when my kids were still young I started to question my life. I had a supportive partner, 2 awesome kids, a part time job as a RN and good health. Life was good. I had everything I was told would make me happy and for some reason I felt like something was missing, that there was more to life….I felt guilty for wanting more.

I was questioning my relationship, my job, beliefs I held and I could feel the dissatisfaction, the discomfort inside. I remember asking my husband, “ Do you ever wonder what this (life) is all about?” The story I was told, get married (safe), get a job, buy house , have kids, take a trip a year and you will be soooo happy. Your life will be complete but it wasn’t.

I started to push back at the system, to question what I wanted which was difficult because my focus was my kids and partner. And that is not a bad thing, its just that I lost sight of me. I got caught up in the story I was told.

It was the start of a not always easy but beautiful journey of self-discovery and transformation. My story is a tale of breaking free from feeling stuck and embracing change even when its scary. And there were some days it felt overwhelming.

I went back to school first to become a health coach. then a yoga instructor and still looking for more answers, more satisfaction in life, more awareness of me, the real me led me to become a holistic yoga therapist. Truthfully when I started I didn't even know what that entailed I just liked the classes. Oh and what a journey it has been. A safe space to look within, to learn to not fear my emotions, to surrender and trust instead of trying to control everything, to discover my heart’s true desire and grow as a person. And I believe this journey of life just keeps going. As my Thai friend, Nick, says it is exciting and fun!

And through my journey the hummingbird has been my inspiration. The hummingbird is a reminder to get moving or to slow down and enjoy the sweet nectar of life, to reconnect with joy and love. It has showed up when I needed a reminder to get moving and grab the sweet nectar of life. It has showed up when I was going too fast on the treadmill of life and forgot about the sweet nectar of life. The hummingbird has show up when I needed a smile and a moment of gratitude for the wonder and beauty of it all.

My mission is to create a safe and welcoming space for clients to connect with their true selves, to get messy, to feel, to be vulnerable, to discover what they really really want and to live a life of joy and love!

I work via Zoom and in person for Sonoma Clients. I work with individuals and groups.
