Jenny Kong Kam Wa
-
Jen is a nervous system–informed practitioner and guide whose work centres on restoring trust between body, breath, and being. Through Spinal Energetics, she offers a deeply relational and intuitive approach to healing, one that listens beneath symptoms and stories, and meets the body where it is ready to soften, release, reorganize and express.
Her path into this work was shaped by her own healing journey through Lyme disease and pain, where she learned that true healing does not come from force or fixing, but from safety and presence. This lived experience informs everything she offers. Jen works with the understanding that the body holds memory, wisdom, and unfinished cycles and that when we are met with care, the body knows how to complete what was once interrupted.
In her sessions, you’ll be invited into a quiet conversation with your own nervous system. Through gentle touch, breath, and energetic attunement along the spine, Jen supports the release of stored tension, emotions, and protective patterns often without needing to revisit or retell the story. The work unfolds organically, guided by your body’s timing, intelligence, and readiness. Her work is especially supportive for those navigating stress, pain, trauma, or life transitions, and for anyone longing to return home to themselves.
-
Spinal Energetics
Spinal Energetics is a body-based healing practice that works with the intelligence of the nervous system and the energetic pathways of the body, using the spine as a central channel for integration and release. Through light touch, breath, and attentive presence, the body is invited; never forced, to unwind patterns of tension, emotion, and protection that have been held over time.Rather than focusing on symptoms or stories, this work listens to what the body is ready to express in the moment. Movements, sensations, emotions, or stillness may arise naturally as the nervous system feels safe enough to reorganize and complete what was once interrupted. Each session unfolds in its own rhythm, guided by the body’s innate wisdom and capacity for self-healing.
Spinal Energetics offers a space to soften, to come back into relationship with yourself, and to remember the steadiness and vitality that emerge when the body is met with patience, respect, and care.
Session are $150 for an hour.
