What clients say about working with Jenna 

After being in this group (and I hesitated to join because I haven’t had positive experiences with group therapy in the past), I feel more internally organized, more confident and secure, lighter, calmer in group and around others and much more present in connection with others. I feel connected to my heart again when before I was dissociating, totally disconnected, self-medicating and suffering a LOT. I feel so much more excited, I’m smiling more, I’m gentler with myself and therefore others. I feel less judgmental, no longer panicked at bed and throughout the night, minimal night terrors and when I do I don’t get stuck, and I quit self medicating with substances. I’m experiencing significantly less dissociation, released and let go of relationships with avoidant people and a partner that wasn’t a good fit for me which had been SO hard to do in the past (I’d tried many times and just couldn’t stick to it before). I’m so glad to have been a part of this.

Jenna Pacelli is truly incredible. Her deep knowledge, empathy, and understanding of trauma, stress, yoga and her various other practices are evident in every interaction. She has a unique ability to address even the harshest truths with a sensitivity and confidence that immediately puts you at ease. Participating in her somatic healing group was a transformative experience for me. Jenna creates a safe and nurturing environment while also challenging you to confront the core issues that often hold you back.

Her courage and dedication to leading groups and guiding people through the complexities of cPTSD and other traumas is so admirable. I am beyond grateful for the positive impact she has had on my healing journey and believe she is making a profound difference in many lives. If you are seeking a compassionate, skilled, and extremely knowledgeable guide on your path to healing, I wholeheartedly recommend Jenna.

The group has helped me see, accept and hold boundaries around the ways i’m actually feeling. I can now connect the tension I’ve had to unmet wants and needs and then take more action on those things! I’m more okay with feeling things, see the trends and take the appropriate action. Before I’d have panic attacks, not know how I felt or what I needed and just generally felt out of control of my life. Now I can advocate for myself and am working on holding boundaries.

This group and the knowledge i got from it was critically important and gave me more progress in my life in 6 months than the previous decade of talk therapy before it. I'm not just aware of my trauma and triggers but now I have tools to deal with the feelings that come up. This is true embodiment and its changing my life.

- Hellen

I loved the way Jenna created instant rapport and emotional safety within the group. Leading vulnerable topics with anecdotes and a sense of humour. I loved the way she would explain her reasoning behind discussing certain things and the benefits of various practices. Very open to diverse experiences

I always felt like an outsider in my life. Even with a large extended family and close friends, I never felt like I truly belonged anywhere. I learned a few years ago that my mother was a narcissist and I had suffered under her abuse for 37 years. But it wasn't until my work with Jenna that I was able to find people who also felt an "otherness" about them. Jenna has built a community for those of us who grew up not knowing what was true and what wasn't, who grew up with a deep-seated feeling that there was something wrong with us, that we were inherently broken and even unloveable. And from that place of safety in feeling seen, in being understood, in being 100% unconditionally accepted, I was able to examine my nervous system and somatic practices without judgment. I can more easily identify emotions inside my body instead of living in my head. I'm able to recognize behavior in others who have also suffered from emotional abuse and provide insights to those who want to know more. It's healing like this that will fundamentally change how we raise our children and break the cycle of generational trauma that is plaguing society today."

I’m a therapist myself and I cannot BELIEVE the work I’ve done with Jenna and why it’s not more common- it’s that good. The way she works needs to be basic training for all therapists, period. It’s indispensable and I can see now how I was just putting band aids on everything before. I’m starting to make headway into very complicated physical and mental health issues that literally no doctor or therapist has been able to help me with before now. 

- Michelle

I'm starting to recognize just how selfish being a martyr actually is, as well as the importance of being able to acknowledge both my privilege AND my pain/struggles. I'm learning how important it is to be present with my pain and struggles despite everything I am grateful for in my life. That it doesn't have to be one or the other because BOTH are part of my reality. And if I try to ignore my pain "bc I have it easier than others or so much to be grateful for" the pain just communicates more loudly & intensely.

I can't recommend working with Jenna more highly. Apart from her exceptional experience, her depth of knowledge (both academic and practical), she brings a breadth of vision that is rare in this field; combining an underlying spiritual practice and foundation, with a profound understanding of the body's physiology, the working of the nervous system; an enormously strong grounding in an up-to-date understanding of trauma and attachment. If this wasn't enough she brings to it a sensitivity and lightness of touch, that enables one to go to vulnerable and dark places and a genuinely loving, connected, compassionate and kind presence.

- John

After 25 years of therapy to heal from my narcissistic mother, this has been the most validating and effective experience I’ve ever had. Jenna’s teaching helped me connect the dots in ways traditional therapy never did. The sessions make complex ideas easy to understand and apply. What really stood out was how she tied the science to real-world societal issues. It completely shifted how I understand holistic well-being. I walked away with a new framework for approaching my healing, one that finally makes sense, and at a fraction of the cost of a single therapy session, the value is incredible.

- Diana

After working with Jenna, I could only have dreamed of functioning at this level considering how much trauma I have. I used to not be able to get out of bed but also couldn't sleep, couldn't hold down a job and was constantly stressed about money. Now, not only did I thrive when I went back to work, I'm starting my own business and my anxiety about money has improved significantly.
