Welcome to your journey to the essence of who you are - your true, authentic self.

When you work with Jen, you’ll be supported to:

  • Embrace every part of yourself: bringing awareness, compassion, and integration to all the different parts of your inner world through an IFS lens.

  • Listen deeply to your inner knowing: reconnect with the wisdom you already carry and learning to trust it completely.

  • Step forward with clarity, confidence, and integrity: moving through life with alignment, purpose, and authenticity.

Through this work, you’ll begin to align with the presence and power already within you, cultivating the self-led guidance, grounded confidence, and subtle influence that allows you to navigate your life and relationships with ease and integrity.

  • 1:1 Support

    This is a space to reconnect with your whole self. As your inner world finds balance, you are invited to embody your authentic truth and inner authority.

    Every part of you is invited to be acknowledged, supported, and integrated, supporting you to listen to your own inner knowing with presence and power.

    Working 1:1 with Jen is a blended, integrative experience of psychotherapy, intuitive somatic integration, and nature-based healing. Through these practices, you’ll be guided inward to meet yourself with compassion, listen deeply, and reconnect with the clarity, confidence, and power that naturally arises from self-alignment.

    Sessions are available online or in-person.

  • Group Support

    We make progress FASTER together. Being in a collective space for healing, ebbing and flowing between listening, remembering, processing, giving, sharing, witnessing and receiving, we gain an indescribable amount from journeying this path together. 

    In safe, supportive community spaces, healing accelerates. Shame is released, isolation disintegrates, your voice is invited to awaken while your true authenticity is welcomed home. 

    Offerings Include:
    – Monthly Women’s Circles
    – Online Groups (Tuning In, Empowering Yourself Through Motherhood, Becoming)
    – One-Day & Full Weekend Retreats

  • Nature-based Support

    (Forest Therapy / Nature Based Healing

    The Earth is calling you back. Not to escape life, but to remember how to be present in it. When you attend a nature-based session with Jen, the forest becomes a co-facilitator in your healing. Forest therapy invites you to slow down, restore inner balance, regulation, clarity, and embodied presence. It reminds you of your belonging, your intuitive inner knowing, and who you really are.

    As you connect with the rhythm of the forest, you connect with your true self.

    Offerings Include:
    – 1:1 Forest Therapy Sessions (Bragg Creek)
    – Group Forest Therapy Sessions
    – Nature-based healing integrated into most retreats and circles

When you book a session at The Essence of You, you will work with Jen Reddish, a Registered Master Therapeutic Counsellor guiding a soul-led, integrative practice that blends Internal Family Systems, Expressive Arts Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, nature-based healing from forest therapy practices, and intuitive modalities.

Jen offers individual sessions, group work, women’s circles, and retreats, all woven into a cohesive approach designed to support your personal growth, healing, and transformation, helping you step into your presence and influence as you reconnect with yourself.

With a compassionate, trauma-informed approach, Jen helps women reconnect with their authentic selves — the grounded, intuitive essence beneath layers of conditioning and survival patterns. She primarily works with women who are ready to heal developmental and relational trauma, release limiting beliefs, and embody a confident, clear, and empowered way of living, stepping gently into the subtle authority and leadership that naturally arises from self-alignment.
