About Jennifer

Shamanic healer, intuitive guide, and practitioner of Sacred Shadow Work

The Inner Gate is guided by Jennifer Malisauskas — a shamanic healer, intuitive guide, and practitioner of Sacred Shadow Work.

Her work is rooted in a deep understanding of the nervous system, relational safety, and the inner adaptations we develop in order to survive.

Jennifer offers shamanic healing, energy healing, Reiki, and soul listening for sensitive, intuitive people who have learned to protect themselves — and are now seeking a gentler way to come home to themselves.

Where this work comes from

This work did not begin as a modality.

It began as lived experience.

Like many of the people she now supports, Jennifer carries early relational wounds — moments of betrayal, exclusion, and misunderstanding that shaped a lifelong pattern of vigilance, self-protection, and retreat.

She learned how to read a room.
How to listen deeply.
How to care for others while quietly disappearing herself.

And she learned, over time, that healing did not come through pushing, fixing, or forcing openness.

It came through safe contact.

Through being met slowly.
Through honoring the parts that learned to protect.

This understanding lives at the heart of her work.

A gentle path into shamanism and energy healing

Jennifer’s path into shamanism and energy healing unfolded organically — through personal healing, spiritual study, and years of experiential practice.

Her work weaves together:

  • Shamanic healing and journeying
  • Sacred Shadow Work
  • Energy healing and Reiki
  • Nervous-system-aware presence
  • Relational and intuitive listening
  • Rather than applying techniques, she listens for what is ready.

The work is guided by consent, pacing, and the inner wisdom of each client.

How Jennifer works

Jennifer offers one-on-one shamanic healing sessions where safety, trust, and listening are central.

Her sessions may include:

  • Soul remembrance or soul retrieval
  • Power animal or helping spirit connection
  • Energy healing and Reiki
  • Gentle nervous system regulation
  • Boundary repair or cord releasing
  • Ancestral or past-life themes, when appropriate

These practices are not imposed or promised.
They arise only when supportive and welcomed.

Silence is allowed.
Slowness is honored.
Nothing is forced.

Who Jennifer’s work is for

Jennifer’s work resonates most deeply with those who:

  • Are sensitive, empathic, intuitive, or highly perceptive
  • Feel safest in one-on-one healing spaces
  • Struggle with visibility, groups, or being seen
  • Long for connection but fear exposure
  • Carry early relational wounds or spiritual fatigue
  • Feel shame about hiding but exhaustion around pushing
  • Are drawn to shamanic healing, Reiki, or gentle energy work

You do not need to be fixed.
You need to be met.

The Inner Gate

The Inner Gate is the framework that holds all of Jennifer’s work.

It is not something outside of you — but an inner place where listening, protection, and remembering coexist.

Through the Inner Gate, healing unfolds through safety rather than intensity, and through relationship rather than force.

This framework guides:

  • Soul Listening Sessions (1:1)
  • The Inner Gate — Soul Listening Session Series
  • Ongoing shamanic and energy Reiki healing work
