Hey there!

I'm Jenn Kerns

 

I hold space for creative, spiritually curious, and deeply motivated individuals navigating life’s most challenging transitions — whether you’re feeling stuck in old patterns, facing relationship challenges, struggling with anxiety or grief, or standing at a major crossroad, unsure which way to go.

I help you reclaim strength, clarity, and purpose so you can move forward with resilience, confidence, and alignment with your values, passions, and unique gifts.

I meet you first as a fellow traveler and old soul, then as a Depth Psychotherapist, Integrative Medicine Mental Health Provider, meditation teacher, and educational consultant with over 20 years of experience in mental health, mind-body medicine, meditation research, and spiritual wellbeing.

My approach

My approach blends decades of research and training in Positive Psychology, Buddhist and Stoic philosophy, Depth Psychology, and neuroplasticity-based brain retraining practices — including mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), gratitude research, polyvagal theory, and limbic system rewiring approaches inspired by the work of Annie Hopper (DNRS). This integrative combination helps you shift old patterns, steady your nervous system, and grow into your fullest potential.

Like Buddhism, Stoic philosophy teaches the art of transforming suffering through awareness, discipline, and meaning-making.

Positive Psychology echoes this wisdom, showing that resilience grows not only by reducing pain and suffering, but also by cultivating inner strengths and consciously nurturing what brings purpose, connection, and aliveness.

Both traditions remind us that while we can’t always control what happens to us, we can cultivate self-mastery through how we choose to meet and respond to life’s challenges.

My contemplative, neuroscience-informed, and soul-centered lens invites emotional resilience, inner steadiness, and the freedom that comes from aligning thought, attitude, action, and purpose — whether you’re navigating personal growth, creative expression, or professional transformation, I’ve got you covered.
