Hello! My name is Jennifer Lawrence and I am very excited to welcome you to Grounded Hypnosis. It has been a winding road to get to where I am and I’m so happy to be here as I am confident this is where I am meant to be.
Throughout my life I’ve been collecting awareness, experiences, and trainings. I have often described each of these interactions, as gathering ingredients for a nourishing meal. Over the years I have continued to add new ingredients, refine the amounts, and expand the components of the meal with a variety of modalities and techniques. Each offering holds a special light in my heart and soul and I’m deeply honoured to share them with you.
I started the journey of gathering ingredients in the Spring of 2001, when I became a group fitness instructor. I loved the idea of people gathering to move their bodies. It was a gift to me to create fun and challenging ways to empower my participants physically and in turn mentally. I continued this passion for 15 years until I went back to school for Entrepreneurship and Management. Movement is still a very important focus for me.
In 2004, I became a Birth & Postpartum Doula and Lactation Counsellor. In this role, I helped guide women into a focused, resourced and grounded state. Being in this state while guided, shifts the dynamic of what could be a passive vulnerable situation, into an active empowered and supported experience. My focus has never been if the mother had an epidural or how long she stuck with breastfeeding but about helping the birthing woman (and partner) to connect deeply with what’s important to them. Then supporting and empowering them while they claimed the courage and strength to implement their values and preferences for their growing family.
Protecting and respecting the Earth is something that is important to my heart. I do my best to reduce the amount of waste and energy that I use. Since 2006, I have developed reusable products that use upcycled fibres to help eliminate the amount of waste. As I’ve moved away from the development of these products to devote more time to my practice, my dear friend has continued to produce and create more for others to use. For those that come to in-person events, many of these products are used and loved.
While in school for Entrepreneurship (originally to create a business focused on my reusable products), I was introduced to Hypnosis. I realized it was similar to the trance state I guided birthing woman into. Experiencing the benefits that trance/hypnosis offered outside of birth, inspired me train in Hypnosis and to birth Grounded Hypnosis in 2016.
Hypnosis is the main ingredient in what I offer. It has the most impact on the whole being of a person. Through Hypnosis, I have watched the deep lasting impact that engaging the unconscious mind has on one’s healing journey. I have watched people’s lives shift and brighten in a handful of sessions in ways that years of traditional therapy wasn’t able to do. It is incredible to watch years of trapped stored emotions be processed and released in a matter of hours. It’s a powerful and potent modality.
In 2021 when I discovered sound healing, I fell in love. I have always loved music and playing various instruments and sound healing allowed me to tap into this passion. Using a variety of instruments I intuitively guide others into another realm of inner-self exploration and healing. Music lights up a part of the brain that speech cannot. It leads people into areas of the unconscious mind that aren’t intellectualized but need to be felt, experienced and moved through. It opens up a connection to a higher source – whatever that may be for that person. This connection and awareness often bring a sense of peace and nourishment to one’s soul. I love how every sound event is different and how impactful it is in unexpected ways.
Finally, over the last three years I have been deepening my relationship with sacred medicines and ceremonies and the healing they can bring. Doing this in community sends the roots of our healing experiences deeper than we can go on our own. I hold a variety of sacred ceremonies. Some that allow people to open their hearts in community; to truly experience what pure love is with no expectations. Others work to connect to our bodies and our lineage with deep reverence and healing. While others focus on deeply going inward. These ceremonies utilize various healing and nourishing medicines and are often folded in with other modalities I offer as well.
I am so honored to invite you to join me at the table of healing and community. Where we gather to nourish the mind, body and soul.
Thank you for allowing me to share a little bit about my journey with you. I feel it is very important to connect and know the person you are entrusting to guide you on your own journey. I hold that trust with deep reverence and respect.
