Because lasting change doesn’t come from pushing harder, it comes from working with your biology.
I’m a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner and specialist in nervous system health and trauma resolution. I support high-achieving women in perimenopause and menopause who feel blindsided by autoimmune symptoms, chronic stress, and a body that no longer responds the way it used to. My work integrates somatic healing, nervous system regulation and expansion, mindfulness and meditation, and behavior change to create steady, sustainable transformation.
I know what it’s like to look successful on the outside and still feel exhausted, inflamed, and disconnected inside. To try the supplements, the protocols, the mindset work, and still feel like your body is fighting you. To wonder why, despite doing everything “right,” you don’t feel well.
What changed everything for me was understanding that my body wasn’t broken. It was adapting. My nervous system had been living in survival mode for years, and no amount of willpower could override that.
When we work at the level of the nervous system, symptoms start to make sense. The stress response softens. The body begins to feel safe enough to heal. Energy returns. Clarity comes back online. Confidence rebuilds from the inside out.
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
“Before working with Jalena I was suffering with chronic fight/flight, with lifelong anxiety, panic attacks, depression, low self esteem and rage. Since completing my work with Jalena I feel empowered, calmer, able to sleep without medication and I have so much confidence!” - Kelley
Let me start by saying, I get you because I WAS you.
My chronic health struggles began when I was 14 with my first diagnosis..... IBS. I was then diagnosed with celiac at the age of 25 and hashimotos hypothyroid at 33.
I know exactly what it feels like to try EVERYTHING to heal, only to notice a continued decline and little to no improvements. I know what it’s like to spend countless hours researching and trying out expensive and restrictive protocols, supplements and bio hacks to no avail.
When I say I've tried it all, believe me, I've tried it all.
“Before working with Jalena I was suffering with anxiety and frequent panic attacks. Since coaching with Jalena I have gained a sense of calm in my mind and body that I haven’t felt for a very long time. .” -Kate
A high-achieving woman who looks successful on the outside…
but privately feels exhausted, inflamed, and disconnected from herself.
Navigating perimenopause or menopause while managing stubborn symptoms that no protocol seems to resolve.
Doing all the “right” things, clean eating, supplements, workouts, therapy, productivity hacks, yet your energy keeps crashing and your body still flares.
Overthinking every health decision because the wellness space feels loud, conflicting, and overwhelming.
Watching your patience shrink in your relationships and wondering why you feel reactive, numb, or shut down.
Struggling with brain fog, poor sleep, or a nervous system that feels constantly on edge or completely depleted.
Secretly questioning why your drive and confidence don’t feel as steady as they used to.
Feeling like you’re holding everything together for everyone else… while quietly coming undone inside.
Sensing there has to be a deeper answer, because pushing harder isn’t working anymore.
Your nervous system is the command center shaping how your body functions and how you experience your life.
It influences your immune responses, hormone balance, digestion, sleep, focus, mood, and the way you show up in your relationships and work. When it’s operating from chronic stress or survival mode, every system downstream adapts to that signal.
For high-achieving women, this often looks like pushing through exhaustion, managing flare-ups, over-functioning in relationships, and trying one more protocol, one more plan, one more mindset shift. You’re not lazy. You’re not undisciplined. Your system is bracing.
If your nervous system doesn’t feel safe, your body will prioritize protection over healing. Inflammation lingers. Hormones stay erratic. Rest doesn’t feel restorative. And no amount of willpower creates sustainable change.
Most approaches focus on symptoms or behavior. But until the stress response itself is addressed, the body keeps cycling through the same patterns.
You’re not stuck because you’re failing. You’re stuck because your biology has been doing its best to protect you.
When we shift the state of the nervous system, everything else has the opportunity to reorganize.
“After falling into a health rut, Jalena coached me out of it by gently encouraging me to make better food choices and to move my body every day. She has a holistic approach that balances mind, body and spirit and she focuses on grace over guilt. I feel so much stronger, wiser and in control of my health now due to my sessions with her. I’m so grateful and highly recommend her!” – Rebecca
I help you shift out of survival mode and into a nervous system state that supports healing, clarity, and steady energy.
Using Somatic Experiencing® and other evidence-based somatic and behavioral approaches, we work directly with the stress response that’s driving inflammation, hormone disruption, exhaustion, and reactivity. Instead of managing symptoms alone, we address the patterns underneath them.
Together, we:
• Retrain your nervous system to feel safe enough to heal
• Increase your capacity to handle stress without crashing or flaring
• Strengthen emotional regulation so you’re no longer ruled by overwhelm or shutdown
• Rebuild resilience during perimenopause and menopause
I also guide you in creating sustainable lifestyle shifts that support your autoimmune condition and overall health. Not extreme protocols, but aligned changes in how you eat, sleep, move, and structure your life so your body isn’t constantly in defense.
We gently uncover the unconscious patterns and self-sabotage cycles that keep you overworking, overgiving, or abandoning your own needs. As those patterns unwind, you stop repeating the same exhausting loops.
This work isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about regulating your system enough to return to who you’ve always been beneath the stress.
"The old stories and limiting beliefs that were running on a loop are just gone now, no longer holding power over me. I whole heartedly recommend TRTP with Jalena to anyone who is ready to commit to reclaiming their power…you are absolutely worthy and capable, and Jalena will guide you there.” – A.J

“Before working with Jalena I was struggling with a lot of anger that was hurting those I love. Since coaching with Jalena I have been able to release past trauma and I’m feeling much calmer and more grounded, no longer in fight or flight. Doing TRTP with Jalena was a deeply personal journey and can help you. It’s well worth the investment! I am calmer, more focused and able to make clear decisions.” Zach
“Jalena’s coaching has inspired me to eat healthier and work out. I’m waking up and running before work and only eating home cooked meals. Thank you for the motivation!” – Brooke
I believe strongly in Jalena’s work. I witnessed noticeable differences from early on. This isn’t positive psychology, it’s rewiring at the root. Not something I could do alone. After a few months, I am changed. Hands down. I am safe in my body. I never felt this safe inside before. I’m grounded and tapped in. It’s a gift. - Jen
