About Jen:
My love affair with plants began early on in life when I learned to find solace and support in nature. I was so blessed early on in my career to cross paths with an amazing herbal mentor named Grace McEntee. She was just the wise woman elder that I needed to begin learning the healing ways of the plants. For many years I learned and studied with her, eventually becoming a partner in her beautiful community herbal practice on Prudence Island. Grace introduced me to Rosemary Gladstar, whom I believe to be one of the most influential and brilliant herbalists of our time. Rosemary eventually became my primary teacher. I was beyond fortunate to learn from her and so many other magical healers from across the globe during my time studying in the Advanced Herbal Training Program on Sage Mountain in Vermont. While I am so deeply grateful for all my herbal studies, I firmly believe that my most important training began when I became chronically ill and was essentially bedridden for over ten years. I was diagnosed with every condition under the sun, visiting a dozen conventional medical doctors and countless alternative practitioners. I was told I had Lyme, Babesia, Bartonella, Mycoplasma, Epstein Barr, MS, a rare autoimmune disease, mold toxicity, extreme chemical sensitivity, anxiety, heavy metal poisoning, parasites, etc...... This long string of diagnoses and subsequent painful treatments left my body desperately weak and my spirit broken. I had lost faith in my deeply loved plant medicine and lost hope that my body could ever heal.
This learning journey finally lead me to NES bioenergetic medicine. I halfheartedly agreed to meet with a NES bioenergetic practitioner, completely convinced that it was just another treatment that would never work for me and that it was a waste of time. This, however, is when everything changed for me. First, I started sleeping better. Then I had a profound emotional healing, understanding that my physical illness was so deeply connected to my early childhood trauma. As I continued to do the NES protocols my body and spirit began to deeply, truly, finally heal! It worked so well that I knew I needed to become a NES practitioner. NES provides such a unique approach to healing that I felt a deep calling to help all of those people suffering and searching on their own healing journeys. I knew that all of my pain had a purpose, to help others and be a beacon of hope for those searching for their own radiant health.
Rooted Wellness was started as my way to reach out to those people trying so hard to heal and not finding the answers they need to regain optimal health. It is my sincere desire to provide guidance, support and outside of the box approaches to healing. I firmly believe that self-empowerment is at the heart of true healing. I have come to know that your own body has the innate ability to heal from any challenge, be it physical, emotional or spiritual. We need to help your body tap into its’s own healing power and that is exactly what Rooted Wellness is here to help you do!
