On today's episode, I am joined by Jennifer Mann. Jen is an amazing Mind-Body Practitioner. She comes from a very interesting background. She grew up in many different countries and speaks 5 languages fluently. She used to be a professional ballet dancer and performer and after a career-ending injury she turned to working with people as a Yoga teacher, Pilates instructor and movement practitioner. She then combined Eastern and Western bodywork techniques to help people move better and feel better. Her curiosity around the holistic human experience brought her to become increasingly passionate about human physiology and to go back to school in her late 20's to study first Life Sciences then Physiotherapy. After a few years of persistent symptomatic patterns, she was finally diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome which would fully transform her life. She is now dedicated to being a trauma informed mind-body practitioner committed to the holistic perspective of health and well-being. The experience of recovering from chronic fatigue and learning to heal her past trauma sparked a mission within to share hope, self-empowerment, self-acceptance and healing with the greater collective. Our conversation covers her journey with being bed-bound with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, the tools she used to recover, such as the Lightning Process training, nervous system regulation & Somatic Experiencing. Jen went from being so scared about her symptoms & illness to research, learn & regulate her nervous system, to use brain retraining tools such as the Lightning Process to address her thought patterns and bottom up approaches such as Somatic Experiences to address traumas stored in the body. An integrative & holistic healing that includes top down & bottom up approaches is what supported Jen to NOT only recover from CFS/ME, POTS and chronic dysregulation, but to create a full transformation. Jen is so passionate about supporting others in their journey of recovery from CFS/ ME, long-covid, POTS and other chronic health challenges and that is why her and Karden Rabin are putting together the first Chronic Fatigue Syndrome trauma-informed recovery program that will include both top-down AND bottom-up therapy modalities.
