Finding Your Way Back to Yourself
Through shamanic healing, Reiki, energy healing, intuitive guidance, and guided journeys.
Helping sensitive and caring people reconnect with themselves, release old patterns, and trust their inner wisdom.
Somewhere Along the Way, You Learned to Fit In Rather Than Fully Be Yourself
Perhaps you’ve spent years looking outside yourself for answers, approval, or validation. You’ve worked hard to understand yourself, heal, and create the life you thought you were supposed to have. Yet something still feels missing.
You may feel emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, weighed down by old experiences, or caught in patterns that keep repeating. Perhaps you often feel unheard, misunderstood, or unseen, longing for someone to truly understand what you’re experiencing.
What if those feelings aren’t signs that something is wrong with you?
What if they’re gentle invitations to reconnect with the part of yourself that has always been there—waiting to be heard?
Through compassionate conversation, intuitive guidance, shamanic healing, guided journeys, and energy healing, I’ll help you reconnect with your inner wisdom, release what no longer serves you, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and trust in yourself.
Perhaps This Feels Familiar…
- Somewhere along the way, you learned to fit in instead of fully being yourself.
- You’ve spent years looking outside yourself for answers, approval, or validation.
- You often feel unheard, misunderstood, or overlooked, even when you’re trying your best to express yourself.
- You care deeply about others but often forget to care for yourself.
- You find yourself repeating the same relationship patterns, challenges, or struggles.
- You carry an emotional heaviness that doesn’t always make sense.
- You’ve explored therapy, personal growth, or spiritual practices, yet still feel there’s something deeper calling for your attention.
- You second-guess yourself and long to trust your intuition again.
You know there is more to who you are than the life you’ve been living.
Perhaps you’re not looking to become someone new.
You’re simply longing to reconnect with yourself, trust your inner wisdom, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Why We Lose Ourselves
I believe most of us don’t lose ourselves overnight.
We slowly lose ourselves while trying to fit in.
From an early age, we learn who we need to be to feel loved, accepted, safe, or successful. We become the peacekeeper, the achiever, the caretaker, the one who stays quiet, or the one who always puts everyone else first. We learn to meet expectations, avoid rejection, and earn our worth.
Along the way, we can stop listening to ourselves.
Our intuition grows quieter. We begin to doubt our feelings, ignore our needs, and believe that if we just work a little harder, try a little more, or become a little better, everything will finally fall into place.
But sometimes anxiety, emotional heaviness, or the same repeating patterns aren’t signs that something is wrong with you. They may simply be invitations to pause and listen to the parts of yourself that have been waiting to be heard.
I don’t believe healing is about becoming the person you once were.
Life changes us.
Healing is about gently letting go of the beliefs, expectations, and survival strategies that no longer serve you so you can become more fully who you are today—with greater self-trust, self-compassion, and the freedom to live a life that feels true to you.
Shamanic Healing & Energy Healing Medicine Sessions
Gentle, one-on-one support to help you feel clearer, lighter, and more like yourself again.
In-person (Ottawa) or online across Canada with Jenn Malisauskas.
You might be feeling:
- overwhelmed or emotionally heavy
- heartbroken, even if time has passed
- stuck in patterns that aren’t shifting
- affected by other people’s energy
- mentally stuck on someone or a situation you can’t fully release
- disconnected from yourself or your direction
And unsure what kind of support you actually need.
How this work begins
Grounded in Spiritual Alchemy, Energy Medicine and Ancient Wisdom
You don’t have to have this all figured out before you come.
You don’t need to explain it perfectly
or understand why you’re feeling the way you do.
Even if it feels messy, unclear, or hard to put into words—
that’s enough.
We can start from there.
What we do together
We slow things down and look at what’s actually going on beneath the surface.
Not just what’s happening in your thoughts—
but what you’re carrying emotionally and energetically.
Some sessions are quiet.
Some bring clarity.
Some help release what’s been sitting there for a long time.
It’s not about forcing anything to change.
It’s about giving your system the space to settle…
so something deeper can start to shift on its own.
My work unfolds in two ways :
- Inner Listening Shamanic Healing Sessions help you understand and work through what’s underneath, at the root, of your issues.
- Energy Healing Reiki Sessions help your system settle, clear, and rebalance.
You don’t need to understand any of that for it to work.
We simply follow what’s showing up for you, and begin there.

You Might Recognize Yourself Here
You might not have the exact words for it.
But something feels… off.
Maybe you feel:
- heartbroken, even if time has passed
- overwhelmed by things that didn’t used to affect you
- mentally stuck on someone or a situation you can’t fully release
- emotionally heavy without a clear reason
- energetically drained after certain interactions
And alongside that:
- It’s not always obvious what’s wrong
- You feel overwhelmed or emotionally heavy, even when nothing is “wrong”
- You’re sensitive to other people’s energy and don’t always know how to clear it
- You keep finding yourself in the same patterns, even when you try to change them
- You overthink decisions or second-guess yourself afterward
- You feel both capable… and somehow held back at the same time
- You want to feel more like yourself again, but aren’t sure how
It can be frustrating.
Especially when you’ve already tried to work through it.
You don’t have to figure this out on your own.
If something here resonates, we can begin there—gently, at your pace.

Two Choices, Same Destination
Whether you choose Shamanic Healing or Reiki – Energy Healing, both paths lead toward the same destination: a deeper connection with yourself, greater self-trust, and the clarity to move forward in a way that feels true to who you are.
The Shamanic Way of Healing Sessions
Discover what’s beneath the surface.
If you feel stuck in repeating patterns, disconnected from yourself, or sense there’s something deeper influencing your life, this is where we begin. Through guided shamanic healing, journey work, and intuitive insight, we’ll gently uncover what may be holding you back so you can reconnect with your own inner wisdom.
Reiki ~ Energy Healing Sessions
Restore balance. Return to yourself.
Sometimes healing isn’t about searching for answers—it’s about finding calm. Reiki and energy healing offer a gentle, restorative experience to help quiet the nervous system, release energetic heaviness, and leave you feeling more grounded, balanced, and at ease.
Meet Jenn
Shaman, spiritual alchemist, energy healer, and intuitive guide.
For over a decade, I’ve had the privilege of walking beside people as they navigate life’s challenges, transitions, and deeper questions. While I use shamanic healing, energy healing, guided journeys, and intuitive insight in my work, I believe the most important part of healing isn’t the modality—it’s creating a space where you feel safe enough to reconnect with yourself.
My role isn’t to tell you who you are or what decisions you should make.
It’s to help you discover what your own inner wisdom has been trying to show you all along.
Every session is guided by compassion, curiosity, and respect for your unique path. Together we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface, gently uncover what may be keeping you stuck, and create space for greater clarity, confidence, and peace as you move forward.
Healing isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about helping you remember that the wisdom you’ve been searching for has always been within you.
I am currently continuing my Sacred Alchemy Training with Pete Miskwa Kimiwan of The 8th Fire School — Way of the Medicine Keeper, a two-year intermediary training in Medicine Work and studying Celtic Shamanic practices with Meri Fowler of the Greenwood Celtic Shamanic Wiccan Tradition

Stay Connected
Healing doesn’t happen all at once. From time to time, I’ll share gentle reflections, guided practices, upcoming gatherings, and insights to help you reconnect with yourself—delivered with care and never more than you need.
Welcome to my cozy healing space in the Alta Vista area of Ottawa
This is a place where you can come as you are.
You don’t need to have everything figured out.
You don’t need to have the perfect words.
If something in your life feels heavy, stuck, overwhelming, or difficult to name—
you’re welcome to begin there.
Perhaps you’ve already tried to think your way through it.
Perhaps part of you is longing for a gentler, deeper approach—
one that includes the body, the emotions, the energy beneath the surface, and the parts of you that may simply need space to be listened to.
I offer one-on-one sessions that weave together shamanic healing, energy work, intuitive guidance, and deep listening.
Together, we create space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and gently explore what may be ready to shift—at your own pace.
The Deeper Layer
Sometimes what you’re feeling—overwhelm, disconnection, or that sense of being stuck—
isn’t just about what’s happening on the surface.
It can come from being a little out of contact with yourself.
Not in a dramatic way.
More like something subtle…
where your sense of clarity, steadiness, or inner knowing feels harder to reach than it used to.
You might still be functioning, showing up, doing what needs to be done—
but underneath that, something feels off.
Like you’re carrying more than you should have to on your own.
In this work, we don’t try to force that connection back.
We begin by slowing things down and listening to what’s already here—
including the parts of you that have been holding things together for a long time.
And from there, something begins to shift.
I am a seed lying deep within the earth.
Resting and waiting.
Knowing my worth.
I begin to stir.
Awaking from my sleep.
Layers of rock and soil above me.
I feel a spark familiar and new.
As all those who came before
Trusted the call to start moving through.
As I go through the layers
Feeling dark and small
Things begin to change as I grow study and tall
I sense the world above
Where the airy breezes blow true.
Am I ready flood through.
With a crack, I feel the earth split
I open to a world bright, brave and new
No time to stop.Where the sun shines bright,
I expand, grow outward
For all to be seen.
I sit on a landscape so fresh, so green.
I exhale, and breathe deep
All around me is a world so
I fit in, I align with know I am a part want to know who I am in this divine to save
It’s only when the rain begins to fall That I remenber who I am so frightened so small.
I trust what’s up there
For me to receive Moving t
You don’t need to know exactly what you need before you begin.
Most people start with what feels closest—
and we go from there.
Smudging & Space Clearing for Ottawa Homes
Your home carries energy — from daily life, past experiences, and emotional transitions. Over time, that energy can feel heavy, unsettled, or simply “off.”
Smudging and space clearing is a gentle, shamanic practice that helps clear stagnant or unwanted energy and restore balance, calm, and harmony to your living space. Using sacred plant medicine, intention, and ritual, I offer in-home space clearing services in Ottawa and surrounding areas for homeowners seeking a lighter, more supportive environment.
This work is especially helpful after moving, during major life changes, or when a home no longer feels like it truly belongs to you.
What is the 20-minute Clarity Call?
The Clarity Call is a short, gentle conversation to help you decide where to begin.
It is not a coaching session.
It is simply a space to ask questions and feel into alignment.
There is no pressure to book afterward.
To request a Clarity Call, visit my contact page and please fill out the online form.

Reflections
Jennifer is kind, thoughtful & understanding, which allows me to be completely comfortable about opening up, it’s made a difference for me.
My experience with Jenn was fantastic; she is a kind soul and the work that we did together made an immediate and positive impact on me.
I’ve been drawn to this work for as long as I can remember. The energy felt like it was dancing all around me and lifting me up. It felt like I was launched gently upwards and onto a much higher plane. Always feeling completely free and protected. I’ve been coming for a little over a year now and feel like I’m 180 degrees different and for the better. People closest to me are seeing the changes and are happy for me.
Working with Jennifer changed my life. It opened the doors to deep inner healing that occurred faster in two beginner sessions than months of coaching work or other work combined for years. It got me to the root of my limiting beliefs with regards to relationships and cultivate a healthier relationship with myself, thus improving those in my life. I am so grateful for her guidance and working together.
Jennifer, you have been there for me when I felt most hopeless, helpless, stuck, cornered. My sincere and utmost gratitude to you and your work that is just “out of this world” literally, and brings results to me on the same day!! Transformative, gentle, and so powerful are just a few words to describe how fantastic your shamanic work is!! Your healing sessions got me unstuck, and I can regain peace and strength to move forward with clear thinking. I really enjoyed your in-person healing sessions downtown. It was such a delight and honour to meet you in person. You are so caring, kind, understanding, and a great listener, and you know what to do to resolve the issues. The Zoom sessions we have done together are also very powerful! Thank you! I highly recommend Jennifer.
With all my heart I recommend taking an inner journey with Jennifer. She is a genuine powerhouse with solid, trustworthy knowledge. Her skill set is strong and she has a wide variety of techniques packed in her healing tool kit. If you are new to energy healing, you can trust you will be safely guided through inner realms and back by Jennifer. If you are a seasoned healer at a crossroads or needing a little nudge, you will respect her knowledge, ethics and kindness in accommodating your beliefs and experience on the adventure. And, of course, most importantly….you’ll get the results you have been searching for and the answers you have been seeking.
Thank you for opening a portal into what has been one of the most profound, sacred spiritual journeys that I’ve ever embarked on. I guess the day I saw you aligned really well with the cosmic frequency. So many connections came to fruition. There is just so much, but I am receiving signs all day. I cannot thank you enough for your guidance. Thank you again; words do not express enough of my gratitude. Light and Love
Hi Jennifer, a quick note to say HOW MUCH things have improved for me since our session. I had normal apprehension and anxiety since then and I was able to sleep well and be with the sensation; it didn’t rule me. My presentation went really well. I can’t believe how helpful these Reiki sessions are, you have a client for life!
