The interview

Why did you want to attend Jennifer's Transformational Women's Retreat?

I wanted to attend because I felt like I really needed to get back in touch with my divine feminine nature. It's something I've really been struggling with for most of my life.

How did you feel before the retreat compared to after?

Before the retreat, I felt kind of really small for some reason. My intention was to embrace my femininity, and it totally happened. I awakened the divine goddess that was dormant inside my body.

What was the result of the spontaneous healing session for smoking?

Jennifer performed this healing on me to help me quit smoking, and I didn't even ask her to. It was all very spontaneous and incredible. I have not really smoked since; I've tried and I can't. It's disgusting and gross, which was totally wild to me.

How has the retreat impacted your self-image and confidence?

This retreat has absolutely made me feel more confident in my skin. I look in the mirror now and I see that I am beautiful. I've noticed I want to dress better, wear dresses, and do my hair and makeup, which feels amazing.

What realizations did you have regarding your personal relationships?

I found that I need to love and nurture myself first. I realized I'm in a relationship that isn't energetically a match, and the retreat gave me the courage to admit that and take steps to rectify it.

What was your experience with the TranscenDance™ session?

The first night I moved so much energy that I actually got physically sick. Instead of fighting it, I embraced it and talked to Jennifer about it. I woke up the next day and I was totally fine, with no remnants of anything.

How did the Temazcal ceremony affect you?

I felt so claustrophobic and engulfed with this crazy fear. I had to push through it and check in with my body. It showed me how to befriend my fear and take it by the hand. That feeling of expansiveness has stayed with me.

Frequently asked

Can a retreat help me overcome long-term personal struggles quickly?

How does the retreat handle intense fear or claustrophobia?

I wanted to attend Jennifer's Transformational Women's Retreat because I felt like I really needed to get back in touch with my divine feminine nature. It's something I've really been struggling with for most of my life. The Transformational Retreat with Jennifer was beyond anything that I could really, truly put into words. So before the retreat, I felt kind of, like, really small for some reason. I don't really know how to explain it. My intention was to embrace my femininity. And it totally happened. Like, I awakened the divine goddess that was dormant inside my body. And Jennifer performed this healing on me to help me quit smoking. And I didn't ask her to. And it was all very spontaneous and it was incredible. I have not really smoked since, and I've tried and I can't. It's disgusting, it's gross. And that was totally wild to me. This retreat has absolutely made me feel more confident in my skin. And I look in the mirror now and I see that I am beautiful. And I don't think it would have been possible as quickly without going to this retreat and her support and all the women's support as well. They are the most loving, accepting, kind group of women I've ever met in my entire life. They're just my sister goddesses. I found more so in myself that I need to be with me, I need to love myself and nurture myself and just be there for me. I've never really done that in my life. And every time I've tried, I've just gotten into a relationship, and I can't be that way. It's not fair to me or anybody else. So this has given me the courage to admit that out loud and to myself. And I'm taking the steps I need to take to rectify that. After returning from this retreat, I've realized that I'm in kind of like a relationship that just isn't energetically a match. it's really like, this retreat has really helped me move that energy and take the steps that I need to take to rectify that. After coming back from the retreat, I've noticed that I want to dress better. I want to feel like, I felt like I was there with dresses and just embracing my femininity. It feels absolutely wonderful. Just a small step with my hair and the makeup that I have on, that's not like an all the time thing for me. And now it's starting to be, and it feels amazing. Like, I feel so good in my skin. The first night of TranscenDance™. I moved so much energy. Like, I actually got physically sick. Instead of trying to fight it, I embraced it, and I was like, okay, what is this here to show me? And I talked to her about it, and she was like, you definitely moved a lot of energies. And I was like, yeah, I feel that. And I woke up the next day and I was fine. Totally fine. Like, no remnants of anything. And then the Temazcal that was absolutely unbelievable. As soon as they closed the curtain and it was pitch black and it was nothing. I felt so claustrophobic for some reason, and I just got engulfed with this fear, like, this crazy fear, and I had to push through it. I kept checking in with my body, am I okay to stay? And it was like, yeah, you're fine. You're just scared. My mind was screaming to get out of there, but I stayed because my body was okay. And that showed me how to befriend my fear. That showed me exactly what it feels like take it by the hand and be like, you got this. It's just fear. It's not going to kill you. You're going to be fine. And that feeling of expansiveness has stayed with me, and it's just been absolutely incredible. How easy all of the layers was to shed and just how easy it was to just step into my inner greatness know with all the love and support from everybody, like, it was just so simple. And it's something I've been struggling with my whole life. And who knew it could be so easy?
