ABOUT
RN, BSN, RMT
jen
Jen figured out late in life that she's better off being her own boss. She is a multi-passion entrepreneur who loves to serve, mentor, write, and create pieces of art.
Jen loves to goof around, watch Star Wars, eat crab wontons, and go for walks in the woods. She believes that looking young is staying true to herself and creating a unique wellness lifestyle that makes her happy.
Jen moved to the Blue Ridge Mountains in 2014. She and her husband bought 15 acres and will be building their dream home overlooking Roanoke Valley.
....
Jen resides in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Roanoke, Virginia. She lives with her loving husband, baby boy, and four crazy cats.
Her nursing experience ranges from Resource Pool to Neurotrauma ICU, and Hospice Home Health.
This taught Jen a lot about the vulnerability in times of trauma, chaos, and tragedy. During her time in the critical care unit, she volunteered free Reiki sessions for her colleagues. It was during this period when she realized how much she loved providing gentle healing and balancing to the human spirit.

Since 2003 I've been on a road to discovery. It started off with Tai Chi Chih classes (thinking it was martial arts!). Then stepping into my first metaphysical store during my college years as an Art History major. I met Sonia Choquette and Donna Eden in person and gradually fell in love with the metaphysical and mystical arts of energy and healing. It wasn't until nursing school where I started to slowly believe I can become have more than one passion. Eventually, I specialized in Reiki:

PROTECTING THE VULNERABLE
FAMILY
the cliff clan
"Parenthood is the ultimate test of will power, unconditional love, forgiveness, and faith."
- Jen Marie Cliff
When Jeremy and I knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together we would say, "I can't wait to start a life with you." Years later, here we are with a home, a child, crazy pets, and each other. I am proud to be a:
-
Firefighter/Paramedic Wife
-
Mother to Liam
There's is nothing in the world I would trade for my Cliff Clan.
Becoming a mother has taught me some hard lessons. The number one lesson is what I teach my clients:
Prioritize your self-care and intuition.
Then you can get through anything.
