My Story
If you came to this page, you might be wondering who is this Jennie Cathleen girl...
Well, I am a lot of things! One of the most important things about me though is that I am a proud mother of four amazing children! Two of them are teens and two are twins also, so that is an interesting perspective that I have on raising children!
The first thing I went to school for was art. It is my first love! However, I became a mom soon after finishing college, and though, I did not lose touch with my passion, I moved away from this as a career path. As I started on my path toward becoming a therapist & coach I felt guilty for not going back to art. After a conversation with a colleague, she told me how she has found a strong link between artists and people that go into this line of work because it requires seeing the world from a different perspective!
"You either take control of your life or it takes control of you. It’s that simple."
I am also a certified Reiki master. How does this add to my ability to coach? I have actually found this knowledge helps to create a peaceful setting in which I can tap into the energy of what my clients are experiencing. Does this mean I will always understand or say the right things? No. Communication between the coach and client is vital to create understanding and transformation.
I am also certified in permaculture design. One of the main things I realized through this certification is how healing the different elements in nature can be. I have found so much respite and healing during hard times when I have taken the time to connect with nature. This way of thinking shows up within my sessions and possibly even in the different activities that I may assign as homework between sessions.
I am also a person who loves to laugh and I bring that into my sessions as well! Laughter can be such great medicine! I once heard someone say that laughter can be one of the quickest ways to reconnect with your soul and I wholeheartedly believe that! Working on healing, self-development, or growing within a relationship should involve fun and laughter along with tears! Our bodies are capable of feeling so many things and all those emotions are welcome in the space I hold for you! Let's cry and laugh and grow together!
