As a sensitive child, I was born with the ability to see, hear and feel everything, including Spirit. I also came naturally equipped with a strong streak of grounded realism.

Following in my Mothers footsteps, at 16 years old I began working with people who had developmental disabilities. Recognizing the privilege and joy it was, I went on to spend more than a decade working in psycho-geriatrics and various care programs for people with different levels of mental, emotional and physical abilities, often in direct service to elders in palliative care, or those who were non-verbal or afflicted with seizure disorders.

In 1994, after having been raised on over 40 acres in Ontario, equipped with lush grounds, ponds, wild forest, and meandering river… I finished post secondary and moved to the mountains of British Columbia, falling in love with Vancouver, and life on the West Coast.

A long standing curiosity urged me to know and explore the deeper questions of life and existence. Infinite doorways began to open.

I started to have powerful visions and experiences I did not fully understand or know what to do with. Glimpses of things that seemed beyond my understanding and yet felt deep in my knowing, piqued my interest.

Spontaneously I began eating and living differently. The changes I was making in my life were changing me. Perceptions opened a new way to see things. I had so many questions still though!

It was around that time I had an unintentional encounter with a Medicine Man. He took me under his wing for months, he and his wife quietly teaching me, and preparing me for what was to come.

In November 1998, I sold my belongings and left the country to explore Australia. It had called me for some time. Intending to only go for a year, I spent the next two years doing a solo adventure. I lived in Australia for a year, and continued travelling across Malaysia, Thailand, India, and back to Thailand, returning to Canada, and spanning in multiple times. It was a journey of the Self, within and without. It was a deep homecoming.

Starting a West Coast Retreat Center dedicated to the path of Awakening & Truth was a long held part of my unshakeable purpose. I returned home with this clear vision guiding my steps, as I followed inspiration.

I continued to self study. I began to heal myself through extensive fasting, cleansing, meditation, yoga, writing, and family of origin work, equipping myself with the knowledge of Functional Nutrition. Not long after graduating from its program, I began teaching at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition in Vancouver. There I designed & taught multiple programs, and created a student / community clinic that allowed live learning opportunities for students, and accessibility to the public.

In 2006, I met my husband and not surprisingly, we had a shared vision and a passion for being in service.

Now, open to various forms of transformational healing and personal evolution, Halfmoon Haven Beachfront Retreat and Spa is a dream manifested and maintained. It is also our home, where we have raised our two boys & cats, and where our International Community of Truth Seekers have come together to rest and rejuvenate, Sunshine Coast style for almost two decades!

We’ve been fortunate enough to host esteemed guests from around the world on their personal and professional path of healing. Organically, Halfmoon Haven has become a deeply trusted container and sacred space for thousands of people from all walks of life.

Guests have ranged from Buddhist Monks and Rinpoches to Traditional Shamans and First Nations Elders from around the world; Hawaiian Kahunas; International Artists; Gabor Mate and other Best Selling Authors; Hollywood Actors/Actresses; Post Secondary Institutes such as UBC & SFU; “Teen Journey” - A Rites of Passage programs for Youth; And other Conscious Corporate Organizations like “Canopy”, that work towards Global Sustainability.

Especially important are the hard working people of our local and extended community, who simply come to get away, do their personal healing, or bring their friends and family together from the Sunshine Coast, Vancouver and around the globe, to fill their cup and follow their bliss.

Without you, our dream would not be possible.
It is an honour to be of service.

Service comes in many forms, and life is a dynamic expression of love.

Aloha is love in action. It is literally to be in the Presence of the Breath.

True inspiration leads the way forward, one breath at a time, free from doing.

My intent is to remain open, in witness and service to Truth. Through breathwork, bodywork, readings, and retreats we look together, and experience directly. I adapt to each person, group, and moment and encourage this dynamic beingness in others.

All Beings have the ability for change.
Yet lasting change happens by being with, rather than through any force.

What aspect of Life are calling to be felt, seen, acknowledged and integrated?
You give a lot. Allow yourself to be supported on the journey of discovery.

Empowered positive personal change is an act of radical liberation. It arises from the safety of free will and personal choice. The choice is yours.
As we change ourselves, we change the world.

Your own indwelling Presence and Power is what guides the way. You are in the drivers seat of your journey.

My aim is to always work without personal agenda, to listen to, and allow the physiology of your own breath, and body to heal naturally. To witness the clarity of patterns so choice can be restored.

Armed with decades of personal experience, notorious honesty, deep compassion and uncanny intuition, my goal is to give you practical assistance that fits your life, and your needs…while helping you to melt into who you already are, with ease, love and grace.

If I can be of support along your path of healing, transformation and/or change, please reach out! I would love to hear from you.

If you have questions or feel inspired to speak directly, Im happy to book a free discovery call with you. Together we will follow inspiration.

If I cannot support you directly, perhaps I am a conduit to connect you to who can? I will happily help you find other practitioners or resources to choose from. Your success is my success. Connected networks are important and I love putting people in touch.

I bring these networks with me when we work together, as well as a load of resources, tools, allies and additional support systems that may be helpful.

Not sure what you want to try but feel inspired or resonant with my work, reach out! I don’t believe in high pressure sales and love making authentic connections.

It's your journey! Co-create a personal experience, mix and match package, VIP immersion, empowerment retreat or mentorship that is right for you.

If you are a retreat facilitator, event producer, or team leader that wants to create a shared experience for your private circle, let’s chat more.

May the current continue to take you to the place where grace meets gratitude. I will meet you there.


Love,
Jenn
