BODY STORY

I was concerned I hadn't experienced enough trauma to make this relevant to me.

"I joined Body Story to help me accept my identity as a chronically ill person, but was concerned I was being presumptuous that I needed it. Like maybe I hadn't experienced enough trauma to make that relevant to me and my issues weren't big enough. I was relieved when this worry was addressed in the prompts: that having a highly sensitive body is traumatic in itself.

As a result of Body Story, I'm clearer about the sources and contributing factors of my pain. I'm clear that my mind-body connection has been broken for a long time, and the consistent writing practice really helped me let go of certain feelings in a way few practices have.

The differences I feel after Body Story are subtle. It's like I’m more curious now - more willing to ask my body questions when things come up. Body Story has given my body an voice and made me willing to listen."

My anxiety has significantly decreased.

"Before joining this course, I was struggling with crippling anxiety. I was concerned the prompts wouldn't do anything for me but as a result of joining, my anxiety has significantly decreased. I've been able to love myself more fully. My body is lighter, my mind is clearer and I've been able to understand myself more fully. My favorite prompt was the last one, which allowed me to see the change in my own perspective.

I highly recommend this course for any woman who is carrying a weight she can't really explain. It has been more beneficial for me than therapy. Body Story is such a gift. I believe it can be the catalyst for the changes you are looking for too!"

I've found so much more self-compassion through these prompts. 

"The prompts have been tremendously helpful! I'm learning so much about myself and my body. Writing through Body Story has transformed how I see and think about things. Some of the prompts felt intense – 5/5 in terms of intensity, yet I'm glad I went through them. They provided me real therapeutic value. I felt seen in each one, and Jennifer is very supportive and encouraging. I'm so grateful for this course!"

I was able to emote onto the page in a way that was super healing.

"After living most of my life shut off from my emotions, I appreciated the idea of being able to heal somatically through journaling. I wasn't sure how effective "just journaling" would be, but I felt so much pelvic energy doing these prompts. Body Story invited the waking of my pelvic bowl.

If you desire to connect to your emotions, your story, your voice and your body, this is a beautiful, safe and gentle space to do that. I felt seen and held, even in the painful and hard moments. It was beautiful to be able to hold my feelings and honor myself.

JULIE CURRIER

I've been able to integrate traumatic experiences in a way I hadn't been able to before.

"I knew this course would help my healing but I had no idea the extent of it. I’ve been able to integrate traumatic experiences in a way I hadn't been able to before. I no longer numb or disassociate as much and I feel much more connected with my body.

The prompts gave me the guidance I needed to show up for my body each day and truly listen – a practice to feel feelings that previously felt too big and scary. The prompts being centered around sensitive, introverted women helped me to see that I move through the world differently than others do (an important realization I hadn’t considered before), and that that’s okay. Maybe even beautiful.

Body Story was a hand reaching out to my soul to help me across the threshold of healing. I am forever grateful and forever changed as a result. This program far exceeded my expectations and I would encourage anyone who connects with the course description to go for it. It's worth every penny, every day, every difficult journaling prompt."

AMY DENTON

I got a lot of emotional catharsis.

"I have been able to listen to my body, release experiences and have a lot of emotional catharsis. This course felt like a homecoming and a reminder to celebrate my body. It is supportive, thoughtful and the prompts cover a lot I wouldn't have thought to address on my own.

JESSICA WIMMER

I found a self-acceptance I was striving hard for before but not quite reaching.  

"I have done quite a bit of inner child healing already, yet I had further breakthroughs while doing this course. I found a self-acceptance I was striving hard for before but not quite reaching. A third very cool thing was feeling into my body and healing intergenerational hurt and pain. Body Story will help you make friends with your body, and from this friendship will grow a healing of old, deep scars."

NIMISHA K.

Rather than feeling painful and scary, it feels empowering and restorative.

"I am so, so glad I decided to go for it with this program. There was great reassurance in the welcome email and sprinkled throughout the prompt emails – that we might expect to feel certain ways, and that certain kinds of emotions or releases were good things and signs of healing. I appreciated that. I was able to reply to emails and Jennifer always replied with support and encouragement. She creates such a loving, warm space for you to excavate your wounds that rather than feeling painful and scary, it feels empowering and restorative.

If you are considering joining Body Story, DO IT! You will gain an incredible understanding of your mind-body connection. From the first word of the first prompt, I felt held, supported, encouraged and validated in every single emotion, experience and thought that came up. It's hard to describe how you can get all that from a series of emails, just trust me: if Body Story calls to you even a little, you will NOT regret it.

SARA FISCHER

I like that she suggested to us a kind of routine.

"I joined because I was trying to connect with my feelings, but I was concerned because they get overwhelming really quickly. As a result of Body Story, I am less detached from my emotions. I'm able to sit with my big emotions better, and am better at identifying where they reside in my body. I've learned to think deeply about the connection between feelings, pain and memories.

I like that Jennifer suggested to us a kind of routine, and that she reminded us to honor our bodies and only ever do what we felt comfortable with. Her prompts are very informative and efficient at getting to the heart of things. And I LOVE how her prompts worded."

JENNICA L.

I gained a deeper connection to myself.

"I appreciated that the prompts alternated between lighter and more intense, and that we were told at the top each day so we could decide if we wanted to move ahead. That felt very trauma-informed. Body Story wasn't so much a profound transformation as a slow progression toward greater wholeness for me. It's a supportive container that meets you where you are.

NICOLE GULOTTA

I've experienced profound healing.

"Anger that was living inside me has lifted. Peace and joy. No more panic attacks. I enjoyed every prompt, even the hard ones.

Body Story helped me release deep anger I didn't even know I had. I feel much more at peace after writing through it – like the rock inside me is much softer. I embraced Private Support and am so glad I did. Jennifer is gentle and kind. I had a very visual dream after a very emotional prompt and it was so profound that I questioned whether it really happened, but it did. I felt free after that. I haven’t felt free in my whole adult life. Would I recommend Body Story? 1000 percent!"

GINA MAcCONNELL

I feel lighter in my body and more hopeful in my mind.

"I joined because I was struggling to process a relationship that involved covert narcissistic abuse. This, layered onto a history of PTSD from childhood trauma and panic attacks. Although Body Story took great courage, I emerged on the other side with much healing. I found more strength than I knew I had, and was able to realize that my story is more common than I ever imagined. I found comfort in learning that other sensitive women also struggle to love their bodies. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to any woman who even thinks she might need it.

Private support was also very valuable. One of the hardest parts of committing and getting started for me was the fear that I would be overwhelmed by emotions and unable to make sense of and bear them. Knowing I had Private Support with Jennifer each week allowed me to write what I needed to write, then somewhat compartmentalize each day, knowing I could unpack with her during our next session.

I have been journaling for quite awhile, but have never had the breakthroughs I got in this short program.

"I have been suffering from back pain that I know is emotional, and knew if I could journal it out, I could make amends with my body for the pain it caused. I was initially afraid the prompts wouldn't work or I wouldn't get anything out of them, but WOW. I had some awesome experiences inside this program. It was incredible to allow my body to tell its own story.

I feel more connected with my body and definitely extend more compassion towards it. There were ample opportunities to express gratitude and compassion for my body, rather than just blaming it for holding all my repressed emotions. I have been journaling for quite a while but have never had some of the breakthroughs, insights and healing moments I got in this short program. Body Story is like springtime: the ground of your emotional repression can finally thaw enough for you to plant seeds of self-love. This course is truly a gift."
