I believe in the power of energy, spirit & stories

I’m a storyteller, journalist, evidential medium, Reiki master, sound healer and meditation coach. I believe that stories and energy unite us.

When I write, I always attempt to look for the extraordinary inside the ordinary. Those stories might inform or entertain, but hopefully, they connect us, allowing us to really look at ourselves and understand those around us. Hopefully, they’re that vital reminder that we’re really part of something bigger. That we matter.‍ ‍

I also believe that energy connects us in ways we don’t fully understand. A good example: those moments when you think of a good friend, and then suddenly they call you. Or just simply the idea that energy always moves through your brain and heart—and the entire universe. We’re connected. We’re part of something bigger. And, we matter. Everyone has a story, and it endures beyond a lifetime.

About Jennifer 

  • Reiki master and evidential medium: In 2020, my own journey sent me a path to discover the power of Reiki, a Japanese energy healing, and then to learn evidential mediumship. These two modalities of connection have been life altering for me, and deeply meaningful and healing for both me and hopefully for others too.

  • Spiritual author: In 2026, I will release a non-fiction title,Tapped In, a giftable book about ordinary people and extraordinary stories of breakthroughs, healing and spiritual connection— and lessons you can apply to your own life. Get a note when it’s available.

  • Meditation coach and sound healer: Inspired by the power of sound healing and meditation as a tool for personal transformation, Jennifer received her meditation teacher certification and sound healing certification to pave the way for more people to find calm within a crazy world. She offers group and private sound bowl healing sessions and private and small group meditation coaching. Book with me here.

  • Adult psychological suspense author: In 2026, I will release my sixth novel, The Last Time I Knew You, an adult suspense title about a young mother must fight for survival after her child mysteriously hints that she lived —and died— decades earlier on their ranch. Get an alert when it’s out.

  • Journalist: For three decades, I contributed to such publications as Fortune Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Inc Magazine, Wired Magazine, and Fast Company. 

  • Young adult author: In 2016, I dove into young adult fiction, publishing five award-winning novels, including the Trinity Forest Series:Ember Burning, Oshun Rising & Venus Shining, Extraordinary Lies, and Burying Eva Flores.‍ ‍
