Zen with Jen Healing Therapies | Bangor & Online

Hi, I’m Jennifer.

I offer holistic healing therapies that support nervous system regulation, helping people gently move out of fight, flight, or freeze and into a greater sense of safety, balance, and ease in both body and mind. When the nervous system is dysregulated, it can show up as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, low mood, burnout, physical tension, or a sense of disconnection from yourself or others.

Many people seek out therapies such as Metamorphic Technique, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), Quantum Touch, Reiki, and other integrative healing approaches when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, depleted, or ready for meaningful change. I provide a warm, personalised, and professional space where your body, emotions, and nervous system are supported with care, compassion, and respect.

Based in Bangor, Northern Ireland, and originally from Belfast, I offer in-person holistic therapy sessions as well as online sessions, making this work accessible wherever you are. Many clients travel from Belfast, Dublin, Enniskillen, and beyond, particularly for Metamorphic Technique, reflecting the trust and depth of this work.

My Approach to Holistic Healing

With over 10 years’ experience in holistic therapies, my work is grounded in a deep understanding of how emotional experiences, stress, and trauma are held within the body and nervous system. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, I work gently and integratively, supporting regulation, awareness, and reconnection.

Each session is tailored to your individual needs. I may work with one therapy or combine approaches such as Metamorphic Technique, EFT, Quantum Touch, Reiki, or energy-based healing, depending on what feels most supportive for you. My approach is nervous-system-informed, trauma-aware, and client-led, allowing healing to unfold at your own pace.

Holistic Therapies I Offer

I offer a range of holistic therapies in Bangor and online, including:

  • Metamorphic Technique

  • EFT Advanced & EFT Matrix

  • Quantum Touch

  • Reiki Master Healing

  • Journey Process (based on the work of Brandon Bays)

  • Flower Essences

  • IET Angel Healing

  • Aromatherapy

  • Reflexology

These therapies can support people experiencing stress, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, burnout, chronic patterns, life transitions, or those simply seeking deeper balance, clarity, and wellbeing.

Integrative Counselling (U-Hub Bangor)

Alongside my holistic therapy work, I currently offer integrative counselling through U-Hub Bangor. My counselling practice draws on CBT, Person-Centred, and Psychodynamic approaches, and is delivered within a safe, professional, and confidential setting.

While counselling is not currently offered privately, both my counselling and holistic therapy work are underpinned by the same core understanding: lasting emotional healing is most effective when the nervous system feels safe, supported, and regulated.

My Journey into Healing Work

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the corporate world. Long hours, constant pressure, and chronic stress eventually led to burnout and a personal breaking point. This experience became the catalyst for a profound journey of healing through mindfulness, counselling, and holistic therapies.

This lived experience deeply informs my work. I understand what it feels like to live in survival mode — and how transformative it can be to feel grounded, safe, and connected again.

Community, Experience & Volunteering

I have supported private clients, received referrals from Extern ReachOut, and volunteered with Hospice NI, working with individuals experiencing chronic pain. I have also volunteered with PIPS, supporting families affected by suicide, and delivered mindfulness classes at Womenstec and The Centre of Health & Wellbeing.

These experiences shape my compassionate, grounded, and trauma-aware approach.

Professional Memberships & Ethics

I am fully insured, hold an Enhanced Disclosure Certificate, and am a professional member of:

  • British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

  • Federation of Holistic Therapies (FHT)

All work is offered with integrity, professionalism, and respect for ethical boundaries.

A Gentle Invitation

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or simply ready to prioritise yourself, you’re very welcome here.

Healing begins when you feel safe, seen, and supported.
