About Jennifer Witten
Conscious Parenting Expert
While we are more than our titles and degrees, they are the backbone of the services I am able to provide parents from all walks of life, including people like you. My journey hasn’t always been easy, but it has allowed me to learn lessons that will help me guide you to a better future for yourself and your family.
My Journey to Conscious Parenting
Have you ever felt grief so thick it choked the air? That's exactly where I found myself, crumpled on the couch after losing my dearest friend of 30 years. The pain was physical, a throbbing echo of the emotional earthquake that had just struck. With a family to care for and a world spinning out of control, I hit rock bottom.
But within that despair, a lifeline emerged. My mentor's words, "Our issues are in our tissues," became the seed of truth that sprouted into my own healing journey. Now, I want to be that guiding light for you, too.
Life throws curveballs, doesn't it? For me, it was a never-ending rotation of chronic migraines, anxiety, and constant aches mirroring the weight I carried. Even a kidney diagnosis piled on. Then came motherhood, a beautiful whirlwind with its own challenges.
Raising a son with ADHD, witnessing an eating disorder, and holding space for crippling anxiety felt like carrying the world. Exhausted and lost, I questioned who I even was.
But amidst the chaos, a whisper emerged – the voice of my nervous system. It turns out this intricate network stores every experience, every tear unshed, and every truth left unspoken. It holds onto stress, fear, and anxiety, desperate to be heard. Left unchecked, it becomes overloaded, it's only cry for help being pain.
Parents, especially mothers, carry this burden. We hold children's worries close, no wonder we feel drained.
My journey to becoming your guide is paved with experience. Certifications in Trauma Informed Coaching and Conscious Parenting, along with Reiki Master training, deepened my understanding of energy flow and the power within your body. Somatic Breathwork, a tool that reconnects you to your innate wisdom, became another pillar of my approach.
See, conscious parenting and breathwork go hand in hand. Both practices help us access the wisdom within and create a calmer, more present space for ourselves and our children. I'm here to teach you how to use these tools to navigate the challenges of parenthood and rediscover the strength and resilience you already possess.
This path wasn't easy. It took courage, compassion, and the belief that healing is a shared journey, best taken one breath at a time.
My philosophy is still evolving, much like yours. But I firmly believe your body holds the key. We can't erase the past, but through breathwork and conscious parenting practices, we can face it head-on.
True liberation comes from accepting what was, grieving it, letting it go, and stepping into the present. You are worthy and magnificent, and your journey to rediscovering that starts here, with every conscious breath.
With light,
Jen
