WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

  • "In the group and individual breathwork sessions I’ve done with Jennye, I have found her remarkably skillful at creating a safe space to let people feel and express what they need to feel and express. I think part of it is that her caring and authenticity comes through and helps you get as honest with yourself as you need to get."

    Michael

  • "Each time I leave breathwork with Jennifer, the giant knot of trauma and pain that I carry is a little bit looser. I am grateful for the healing space, the encouragement to let go, and Jennifer’s potent compassion."

    Jesse

  • "Jennifer lovingly & skillfully guided me on a journey through some tricky terrain. Body work can bring up intense feelings & strong reactions with me. Jennifer held space with care, compassion & a strong & palpable belief in my body's capacity to move through tumultuous moments, using breath as a beacon & guide. By the time the session ended a feeling of calm had seeped into me like nothing I had ever experienced. It was, without a doubt, exactly what I needed, & exactly how I needed it."

    Ayelet

  • “I had always been told to "try breathwork" but as an anxious skeptic I was always... skeptical. Even after trying it as a part of a facilitated conversation and finding it useful, I kept *reading* about breathwork or taking notes on it instead of trying it out. The monthly (May 2020) workshop you held was the first time I actually practiced breathwork and took the space to sit with my feelings. Doing it with other people + your facilitation was healing and reinvigorating. Thank you for your commitment to sharing this healing.”

  • “I am a person with sometimes excruciating shame around even having a body; to feel such deep acceptance and safety as Jennifer watches me breathe and at times make sounds and movements I don’t feel fully in control of -an experience I would normally find intolerable- is a strong testament to the power of her presence. Jennifer makes a container in which interwoven layers of restoration can happen: as well as being supported to work through whatever material I bring, the shared witnessing provides a potent antidote to the shame and the experiences that instilled it. Before starting I was unsure how this modality would feel in a virtual session, but Jennifer is extremely skilled in making a connection this way. Me, Jennifer, her playlist, my breath - it makes for strong medicine!”

    Gem

  • “I saw Jennifer for the first time to help breathe through a range of traumatic experiences. I was nervous to be so vulnerable and trusting with a complete stranger, but Jennifer made me feel completely accepted the entire time, safe and welcome to be myself. I was nervous to do the breathing, as it was completely new to me, and she did a wonderful job holding space and encouraging me to trust the process. A great experience and I walked out feeling like I let go of just a little bit of weight. I will definitely be back.”

    Paige

  • “I really, really respect how you hold space. I have a hesitancy towards being in community ritual space, or healing spaces as so often things do seem appropriative or grabbing bits and pieces from all over. I knew from following you on instagram and reading your website that we share values around those things but I wasn't really sure what that would look like or feel like! The way you carried things seemed so genuinely from you and your heart. I loved the playlist- I loved how loud it was and I loved that towards the end you could say 'we just have one or two songs left before we move into resting breath'. That was really helpful for me. I was so grateful you asked us to bring notebooks because it was really important that I could write down what came up. I also really liked processing the experience with someone I didn't know. It was such a moving experience.”

    Chelsea

  • “Thank you so much for this session. It was exactly what I needed at the time to release a lot of heavy grief. I felt very safe and supported in the space you held and I’m grateful I attended. The way in which you honor the breath, its roots, and the community as a whole is evident in the way you speak about it and present your practice and your web page. It is very refreshing to experience a space that is so breath and community centered. As I evolve my own practice, your work is an inspiration of inclusion, integrity, and authenticity. Just sharing a note of gratitude, admiration and thanks.”

    Shannon

  • “Last night I finally watched the recording of last week's virtual group breathwork session and WOW, it was unbelievable. I have C-PTSD from child abuse and recently started digging deep with a trauma coach which has resulted in me experiencing more spells of derealization/depersonalization. I had such an emotionally intense experience and at the climax of the music and breathing my microwave door flew open, my very loud air purifier randomly turned off and my cat put her paws firmly on my belly (where I hold much of my trauma). I ended the session feeling so cleansed and I know that this is something I need to incorporate into my life in order to get through this. Rinse and Repeat! I just wanted to say THANK YOU for offering these sessions and extra thank you for having the option to watch as a recording. Cant wait for your book to arrive too :)”

    Mel

  • “Thanks so much again for everything—I feel so fortunate to have learned and started a breathwork practice with your support just a few months before this whole covid ordeal, because breathwork is one of the few things that has actually physically (and mentally) helped me through the illness and recovery process.”

    Chloe

  • “This was my first breathwork experience and it was transcendental. I felt a tingeing energy in my chest that rose to my head each time we yelled. I can’t wait to do another breathwork session and felt so inspired by this experience. Thank you for leading us in this safe, online space.”

    Jenna

  • “Jennifer is a skilled and gentle and subtle healer. With the art of an artist, a royal astronaut, she and the breath took me to outer space to realize I’m here to accept and welcome whatever the universe/ god/ spirit has to offer me. ”

  • “I tend to get a lot of headaches in hotter weather and I was recently traveling in a climate that is much hotter than I’m used to and this tincture helped me have an enjoyable vacation totally headache free! And recently, in the week after my cycle when I can get headaches more often, one started coming on and taking this tincture three times over the course of an hour helped to keep it at bay enough for me to get through my day. Super appreciative for this lovely blend!”

    Amy

  • “I wanted to tell you how wonderful the Panic Bloom elixir has been for me. In July, I visited family for the first time since being on testosterone and was absolutely panicked. Two drops of the tincture completely settled me. Allowed me to breathe. I was so so grateful to have it. Thank you.”

    E

  • “Jennifer, do you know what you have done? Do you have ANY idea? You quite possibly have saved my fucking sanity. SAVED it from utter despair and destruction. I have chronic daily migraine. I have had them for 8 years and they have gotten so bad I have taken a leave of absence from work. I had some good days recently and was like “which of the myriad of things that I have been doing has allowed me some freedom from this hell?” Answer: CORPUS RITUAL BUILD BACK UP”

  • "The Trauma Heart Heal Elixir is amazing. I used to be such a crier. Then I started testosterone and it all just got stuck in my throat. I've been taking the elixir almost every day while on the road the last few weeks, and tears have found me again. Total backlog. I am grateful. Thank you."

  • “You know how sometimes you get a tincture ‘cus it has clever name or a cool label and kind of cross your fingers that you notice any affect at all? THESE ARE NOT THOSE TINCTURES. I have never experienced such tangible, consistent results from any other tinctures and I’ve tried a lot. One of the grief focused tinctures was the first I tried and it was very comforting and soothing to me during an extremely painful loss of a dear one. I have almost every relax/ chillout/ de-stress / get clarity / stop the mental chatter type blend she makes and they all do exactly what they say they will with noticeable differences to each different one. They’re honestly magical.”

  • "Jennifer's work has moved my life. The Shadow + Light essence was the first plant essence I ever experimented with and I have felt its subtle imprint in my body and spirit ever since. On the finest level, it dissolved a fog and cleared a pathway for healing. It opened channels within me that I didn't know I had. I'm deeply indebted to Corpus Ritual."

    Lydia

  • “Thank you for creating this remarkable blend, Shadow + Light essence. I began working with it today and found a group of powerful plant teachers at my inner door after just a few drops. Looking up the known properties of these essences also made me marvel at what you brought together. I am an shaman and working artist (ecodyeing with partner plants) in my mid sixties, relatively new to flower essences. I am finding powerful partnership potential for myself, friends and clients.… If feels like a collaborative structure created itself when you made the blend, or maybe you intentionally created it? Thanks again for your good work. It’s great that you exist here/now!"

    Lian

  • "I started working with Corpus Ritual tinctures and other blends in mid-2016. During that time I've worked with Sweet Release, Panic Bloom, Ease the Fuzz, and Clear Head, and am most recently working with the Breathe smoke blend. They've all functioned as nervous system and adrenal support and have been companions on this journey when anxiety has manifested in difficulty sleeping, breathing, or getting my mind to calm down enough that I'm able to do what needs to be done. There is such palpable love, respect, and understanding of the plants that goes into every bottle, jar, and bag, and I'm so grateful for Jennye's sharing of this beautiful, necessary work."

    Shomriel

  • "These tinctures are on point! But better than even the herbs themselves (which are amazing) is the comfort that comes from knowing they were carefully selected and crafted into a constellation of communal care specific to my needs and routine. Jennye goes beyond treating individual ailments and into the territory of a miasmic system in the making, to meet me in the break and on the mend. Corpus Ritual is that everyday magic on the ready!"

  • "With almost no exceptions I've slept better and longer, falling asleep faster, than I have maybe ever. In general, I feel softer-- maybe not the best word to describe it, but the only one that seems right. I feel more emotional but I'm more OK being emotional...feel a bit less like hiding... I can't tell you how much I appreciate you listening to everything I said on the intake form, for reaching out, and for being a support. It takes a lot of tries, as you know, to find things that 'work' on longstanding issues. I am so grateful I'm feeling a difference. I never expect perfection, but the difference I've felt so far is nothing short of amazing. I do not recall, in the 1 1/2 weeks I've been taking these, thinking about suicide or needing to hit myself. That is huge for me."

  • "Completely hooked on Sweet Sleep tea! So good for soothing nerves and easing me to sleep. Making it is my new before-bed ritual. Tastes delicious as well! I take Ease the Fuzz tincture with me everywhere, love taking it when I feel nervous or muddled before important meetings or public speaking. Really helps!"

    B

  • "Thank you for real for these medicines. I have taken one or another of them every single day in the few months that I have had them. Before this I had never been able to be consistent with taking herbs, especially tinctures, I think because the store-bought ones can sometimes feel harsh or overwhelming, but all of the Corpus Ritual elixirs and tinctures I've taken actually feel nourishing and enjoyable while I am taking them. Their effects feel potent and balanced, and the blends and elixirs are actually targeted at what I need. I reach for them all the time, and take them with me when i travel."

  • "In the process of weaning myself off tobacco I started mixing in Breathe Smoke Blend and what a pleasure it was! Mildly fragrant as it burns and very mellow and easy to inhale. Especially good replacement for tobacco in a spliff!"

    Alex

  • "I sent you an email almost a year ago in may talking about quitting smoking and how lung loving was helping me quit smoking. I sent it on May 20th last year and I ended up buying a pack of cigarettes the next day. But I still have half that pack in my freezer because I ended up officially quitting on may 22nd. It's been almost a year and I honestly never thought I'd be able to go this long without smoking. I didnt need to use the tincture as much the second half of this past year but maybe it's an annual thing, or the body remembers being sick this time last year, I'm not sure. But this past week I havent been breathing well so I just finished it. I'm feeling better today, and it feels good finishing it almost a year to the month I started it. I just wanted to share because when I sent that initial email I really had no hope or belief in myself that I would actually quit. Quitting drugs + quitting smoking have been 2 of the hardest things I've ever done and I never ever would've believed I could quit either of them. I still stand by what I said in my first email, lung loving is amazing and makes me want to cry. I dont even know why, but it really has me balling my eyes out the way it makes me feel and the way it makes me breathe. Your tinctures just feel really special to me, whatever knowledge you have to bring all the ingredients together, feels really special to me. It's a visceral feeling or knowing, that they are so special and helpful. "

People have a need to feel their pain. Very often pain is the beginning of a great deal of awareness. As an energy, it awakens consciousness.
