Hi, I’m Jen Catlin, Your Hypnosis Facilitator.
I did ALL of the things I thought I was supposed to do in life:
And yet, when I finally achieved what I set out to do, I wasn't any happier with me or life. In fact, I felt stressed, anxious, unhappy and lost. I was disconnected from myself.
In my early career as a school psychologist, I wore the mask of "having it all together" while inside, I was overwhelmed, exhausted, and full of anxiety. I was living life for everyone else but me. I became an expert in overachieving and people pleasing.
The crux came when my anxiety and overwhelm reached a breaking point. Despite all the "right" self-help tools, including talk therapy, I hit a plateau and something was still missing. I knew there had to be a way to go deeper and access the root of my struggles. Through a series of spiritually transformative experiences, followed by a near death experience, I was guided to discover the profound combination of transpersonal/spiritual hypnotherapy and mindful living.
My Approach
After years of focusing on your career, external achievements, and/or taking care of others, you are now being called back home to yourself. You're not broken, you're just disconnected.
I have combined everything I learned and experienced, including scientifically proven techniques along with spiritual wisdom, to help you achieve what feels impossible - the ability to be comfortable and present in your own skin while discovering true peace, clarity and purpose.
What I learned through my own process, and have since shared with thousands of others, is that:
Within us is a portal to deep wisdom, and even if it's buried, we can find our way there - I did it, and you can too!
Overwhelm isn't a personal failing, but a sign we're carrying energy that isn't ours
Lasting peace is possible, without losing our ability to create and perform
We are all so much more than this body and mind, and there is a wisdom within ready to guide us.
When I work with others, I approach the process in a compassionate, nonjudgemental way, and honor your process and journey. I believe in both our humanness and our spiritual selves. It is my intention to help you discover the bridge between all aspects of yourself.
