A Path Forged in Transformation

Jennifer's journey into healing began amid the vibrant intensity of New York City. While balancing a career in luxury branding with Donna Karan and Estée Lauder, against nights hosting and DJing legendary rock and roll dance parties across downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn, she came to know firsthand the tension between creative expression and burnout: an awareness that sparked a personal awakening and set her on a new path.

Through the Bendheim Integrative Medicine at Memorial Sloan-Kettering, Wendy Miner, the Program Director, introduced her to the healing potential of massage therapy and Reiki. These practices revealed the deep interconnection between the mind, body, soul, and spirit…a cornerstone of a lifelong journey of self-discovery.  

From New York to the UK – Experience & Evolution

From 2005 to 2009, Jennifer refined her craft at BLISS Spa in New York, gaining over 10,000 hours of clinical experience. During this time, she became certified in Reiki and Medical Massage for Cancer Patients, studied CranioSacral Therapy through the Upledger Institute and with Roger Gilchrist, and immersed herself in an integrated approach to healing. 

Since relocating to the UK in 2009, Jennifer has built a private practice rooted in Jungian psychology and the symbolic language of the soul, drawing on archetypes, alchemy, fairy tales, and folklore to help clients explore their mythologies and reconnect with the Self.

Academic and Spiritual Deepening

In 2020, Jennifer earned a BA (Hons) in English Literature from the University of Bristol, graduating with a 2:1. Her dissertation, supervised by Dr Michael Malay, explored the travel writing of artist Ithell Colquhoun and the reawakening of animism within the Cornish landscape—weaving together nature, spirit, and creative voice. She went on to complete a Postgraduate Certificate in Anthropology at Bristol, researching the intersections of the senses, embodiment, touch, healing, narrative, and resistance.

Building on this foundation, Jennifer has been awarded a fully-funded Race Equality PhD studentship at Kingston University. Her research explores how babaylan ancestral knowledge, the pre-colonial Filipino healing and spiritual tradition, can be reactivated through embodied practice, particularly massage and ritual, within the Filipino diaspora. The project is autoethnographic, drawing on her own family lineage and her long-standing work as a healer.

Her spiritual studies are ever-deepening. She completed a two-year Tarot mentoring programme with Suzanne Corbie and has furthered her Tarot studies with Professor Camelia Elias. Her astrology practice continues to evolve through ongoing study with esteemed teachers such as Carole Taylor, DFAstrolS; Kim Farley, DFAstrolS; Austin Coppock; and Dr Luis Ribeiro.

Jennifer's creative practice continues alongside this work; she recently completed the Advanced Poetry programme at the Faber Academy (Professor Daljit Nagra, MBE, FSRL and Dr Rebecca Tamas), reflecting her ongoing engagement with language, story and symbol as tools for transformation.

The Practice Today

Jennifer offers a variety of services, including deep tissue massage, craniosacral therapy, Reiki, breathwork, and guided imagery. Her approach integrates her knowledge of archetypal psychology, tarot, and astrology. Her work is gentle yet effective, trauma-informed, and rooted in a holistic framework that honours the body as a sacred vessel of wisdom and transformation.

In addition to her professional pursuits, Jennifer is a mother of two. She finds balance in her life through yoga, weight training, swimming, cooking, and reading. Additionally, she is actively engaged in social justice and advocacy, focusing on race equality and the revival of ancestral healing knowledge within the Filipino diaspora in her doctoral research at Kingston University.
