The inspiration for Jenn’s work stems from her childhood. She grew up in a household where her parents fought frequently and the energy was very stressful. She coped by becoming the family clown so that she could help shift the energy from stressful to fun and joyful. Her father, a medical doctor, was easily enraged, so she learned how to “be invisible” in order to protect herself. Her mother, a therapist, invited her to express and examine her feelings as a child. Jenn grew up with the stigma and self-image of not being intelligent because she had trouble focusing: she was later diagnosed with ADD and dyslexia at the age of 30. She used humor to win friends and feel valuable. Her parents encouraged her talents in music, art, theater and soccer, so she felt like she had to perform to get love and acceptance.
Jenn went on to study graphic design at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. During the summers, she performed at comedy clubs and with comedy troupes in her home town of Los Angeles. She started writing comedic songs and then began writing more emotional songs, reflective of her spirit. Her focus quickly turned from comedy to songwriting. She earned money by playing music in her college town and eventually recorded her first album called “Change the World”.
After earning her bachelor’s in graphic design, Jenn held positions as an office manager at a law office, a line producer for feature cartoons, taught guitar and songwriting and had graphic design and illustration business. All of her professional experience helped her sharpen her communication skills and get clear that she wanted to be her own boss. From her experience, she also determined that she wanted to help people unfold their gifts, create a wonderful life for themselves and help them contribute to the world in the way they yearned to do so.
In the process of launching and growing her own business, Jenn discovered some blockages to success and attracting money that she had to learn to overcome. Her issues surrounding money and feeling worthy of support stemmed from her father’s complaints about the amount of alimony and child support that he had to pay: he even poured an envelope full of money into her lap and said, “This is how much you cost a month.” That created an imprint in Jenn that she was too expensive, even for her father, which she believes made it difficult for her to earn much money for a period of several years. A vivid memory of a picture of a man eating out of a garbage can, which her mother took for a photography class, created a question that she has carried with her since childhood: why do some people struggle while others thrive?
Her memories and subconscious thoughts lead Jenn to find a hypnotherapist who helped her overcome these blocks and live the life she desired. It became clear to Jenn that her pattern of hiding and not allowing herself to be too visible in order to stay safe was no longer necessary and was blocking her financial success. Thrilled with the drastic and positive changes she was able to make in her own life, Jenn decided to study hypnotherapy so she could learn to help business owner’s move from struggle to success using hypnotherapy, as she did. Today, the experienced hypnotherapist helps people clear “the stoppable self” and the old protective devices so they can feel who they really are and share that with themselves and the world, which makes them magnetic to their ideal clients, to opportunities and to love.
