With her guidance, women are actually healing their hair by using products they can make themselves at home with ingredients found in their garden that come straight from the earth and taking responsibility for the health of themselves and their family! Her “No Poo Method” has developed a cult following of women ditching the shampoo for good, and her course “The Wild Mother’s Medicine Chest” has allowed women from all over the world to become the healers of their families.

You can connect with her on Instagram @healwithjen https://www.instagram.com/healwithjen/ I’m Jen Ray. For the past decade, I’ve been a student of the human body and have followed my passion for supporting people on their personal growth and healing journey. As a trauma survivor, I spent most of my life stuck in a state of survival. I lived disassociated from my body and spent my teenage years and early twenties struggling with things like substance abuse, toxic romantic relationships, and self-sabotaging behaviors. When I began my education on trauma, I finally felt like I made sense. I realized that my compulsive relationships and “self-sabotaging” patterns were self-protective behaviors that I developed to meet unmet needs and achieve safety. After several years of tending to the needs of my inner-child and healing in areas like attachment, sex, and intimacy, I received the call home to my body through a chronic illness diagnosis. Instead of accepting the fate of a lifetime of illness, I decided to become educated on how to heal myself. Learning how to bring a felt sense of safety to my body has set me freedom years of suffering with chronic symptoms and has helped me create healthy and secure relationships in my life. As a trauma-trained somatic practitioner, my intention is to support fellow trauma survivors in healing attachment wounds, building resilience in their nervous system, and learning how to trust the innate intelligence of their body.
