Spiritual Life Coaching

4RC’s Spiritual Life Coaching is designed to be an ethical, safe, and exciting opportunity for clients to intentionally improve their overall emotional and spiritual well-being through goal setting, overcoming obstacles, and building their dreams. Spiritual Life Coaching is not counseling, and is not provided in this service.

Jenny completed her Spiritual Life Coaching Certification, Level 1 Practitioner with a highly accredited program. Jenny is also currently receiving education and training to become an established member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Jenny completed her Spiritual Life Coaching Certification through an internationally accredited program by the International Association of Therapists (IAOT). Jenny also received Spiritual Mentoring and Coaching sessions with a Professional Intuitive, RMT, Author and CEO of her own counseling and healing practice. Jenny will continue to receive ongoing education, experience and training as a Spiritual Life Coach to become an established member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

As a Spiritual Life Coach, Jenny helps clients thoughtfully explore and enhance their spiritual well-being at their own pace while utilizing core skills developed over 23 years of successful clinical experience. She guides her clients on powerful, intentional journeys of self-discovery, personal growth, and connection with their inner and “highest” self.

Jenny’s Spiritual Life Coaching Service helps clients obtain results quickly by helping clients learn how to manifest their goals through positive, realistic and guided visualizations; affirmations; and meaningful goal-setting techniques. Jenny assists her clients in exploring and setting specific and measurable spiritual and personal growth goals, building a roadmap for each client’s individual spiritual journey. Jenny further weaves together evidenced-based mindfulness and meditation practices so her clients learn how to seamlessly connect with their inner selves and find renewed drive, passion, peace and balance, outside of the spiritual coaching experience – and into their daily lives.

Spiritual Life Coaching integrates holistic spiritual principles and practices that help clients in their individual process of personal growth; however, please remember this service is not a counseling service.

Intuitive Energy Healing

Jenny has helped hundreds of clients learn how to use non-invasive, non-touch Energy Healing approaches in her current clinical practice. This approach helps restore any energetic imbalances that might be causing physical, emotional, or mental health issues. Intuitive Energy Healing is a holistic approach that focuses on the flow and balance of energy within the body, focusing on the 7 main Chakras, while removing blockages and restoring an overall sense of peacefulness and balance. Intuitive Energy Healing identifies blockages in the 7 Chakras, or energy centers, which can become blocked within the body. Tools and techniques are used to help clients learn to clear those blockages, such as breathwork, intention setting, guided meditation, and other approaches, to restore energetic balance and focus. 

Intuitive Energy Healing is based on the concept that all living beings possess an energetic field or life force, often referred to as chi, prana, or qi, which plays a vital role in daily physical, mental, and emotional health. Clients will explore how to process emotions stuck in the body, and introduce tools clients can use on their self-healing journey to restore a lasting sense of greater energetic balance and harmony. 

Jenny also provides distance energy healing to clients through Telehealth, which is just as effective as in person for tangible, energetic healing and restoration. Jenny is trained and certified in energy healing modalities through intensive coaching and mentoring sessions with a Professional Intuitive, Author, RMT, and CEO of a private healing and counseling practice. Jenny also completed Intuitive Energy Healing certification from an internationally accredited organization by the International Association of Therapists (IAOT). Jenny also receives weekly ongoing Intuitive Development group work to further her skills.

Intuitive Energy Healing can be very helpful in safely removing energetic and emotional blockages; however, this service does not provide counseling services.

Mindfulness and Stress Reduction

Jenny has incorporated mindfulness-based practices in her current clinical approaches for years, including breathwork and guided meditations. These practices teach individuals how to ground themselves when triggered through strategies unique to their preferences, often utilizing the 5 senses and other somatic “body” approaches to release and restore areas where trauma is held in the body and mind.

Jenny’s mindfulness approaches help the client explore preferred and unique ways to calm themselves when triggered, learn how to better anticipate triggers, and be more present in the moment – all leading to reduced stress and improved overall well-being.

Jenny gently guides clients in sessions by teaching and facilitating deep breath work techniques and positive, supportive guided meditations, along with gentle movement, such as trauma-informed yoga, to clients of all ages.

Jenny is trained and certified in Mindfulness and stress reduction modalities through intensive coaching and mentoring sessions with a Professional Intuitive/ Author/ RMT and CEO of her own private healing and counseling practice. Jenny also completed Intuitive Energy Healing certification from an internationally accredited organization by the International Association of Therapists (IAOT). Jenny also receives weekly ongoing Intuitive Development group work to further her skills. 

Jenny also completed Spiritual Life Coach Training, focusing on mindfulness and meditation, from an organization accredited by the International Association of Therapists (IAOT). Jenny also receives weekly ongoing Intuitive Development group work to further her Mindfulness skills.

Hatha and Trauma-Informed Yoga - Coming Soon!

Jenny is currently enrolled in a Registered Yoga Teacher 200-hour training program. Jenny is also receiving training in Trauma-Sensitive Yoga practices, including in how to combine Neuroscience and Yoga in the treatment of complex, developmental or repeated trauma. 

Hatha Yoga: Jenny is training in the practice of Hatha Yoga for beginners, as it is a holistic approach to health and well-being that emphasizes the balance between physical and mental aspects of one’s life. Practicing Hatha Yoga can lead to improved flexibility, strength, reduced stress, and greater mental clarity.

Trauma-Informed Yoga: This is a sensitive approach bto yoga that recognizes and addresses the potential impact of trauma on individuals.  It is designed to create a safe and supportive environment for practitioners and recipients who may have experienced trauma.  As a trauma trained therapist, Jenny expertly incorporates gentle, trauma informed yoga movements with clients, of all ages and abilities, to move trauma, and other emotions around, so that the body is restored.   

Hatha yoga, combined with trauma-informed approaches, offers stretches and movement that safely releases trapped emotions stored, sometime for years, until it is intentionally released in a supportive, clinical environment. 

Jenny will be incorporating trauma-informed, Hatha Yoga into her clinical work, as well as offering private Hatha Yoga classes, and group classes within the community, to foster a deep sense of connection and support for all.

Hatha Yoga and Trauma-Informed Yoga are not a substitute for clinical services, if they are needed or required.
