My Story
At age 18,
the birth of my daughter, Jaelyn Rae,
gave my life new purpose after experiencing an unusual series of tragedy and loss.*
Though I stayed busy as a working single mom,
grief and guilt from my past secretly shadowed me.
I hid them well from the outside...
However, on the inside,
I felt locked in a cage of doubt, unworthiness, & self-sabotage.
My stress level rose with my racing mind,
so I joined a yoga class...
...that would inspire my dedication to a daily self-care practice that,
over time, helped me to
relieve stress, develop the tools I needed to heal from my painful past,
and find freedom and peace from within.
Yoga was my saving grace while working in corporate manufacturing.
Long hours in a toxic environment exhausted my energy for the next few years, while my passion for prioritizing stress relief continued to grow.
Then, my first opportunity to teach yoga appeared while working as an engineer.
In 2017, I became certified by NETA (National Exercise Trainers Association) as a Wellness Coach and Personal Trainer/Group Exercise Instructor, and began their 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) training program. I also received a traditional Usui Reiki Level One attunement that spring with Reiki Master, Melissa Jolly-Graves.
I immediately began teaching yoga & meditation classes for my employer and community.
My realized calling to share inner healing with others lead me to resign from engineering in January 2019 and establish JaeRae Wellness, LLC to bring yoga, meditation, and wellness program support to workplaces, schools, & community centers.
That summer, I became a Certified Yoga Trapeze® Teacher through the Yoga Teachers College® to introduce the healing benefits of spinal traction to others.
In 2020,
I moved online and narrowed my focus on one-on-one coaching to address the world-wide need for personal support & connection.
Following a craving for more knowledge and experience, I completed a second RYT-200 training and transformation coaching program with T Nolan Yoga later that year.
Shortly after, my daughter and I took the opportunity to travel by RV full-time!
We sold our house and hit the road in November 2020.
On the road,
I stepped into my truest calling,
combining card readings, coaching, and yoga with my natural intuitive guidance to further help my clients make peace with loss and trauma of the past, find healing and clarity through connection with Spirit, and learn how to manifest a life they love.
I also picked back up a long-awaited writing project,
realizing I was still living the story I had to share...
In 2021,
I continued Reiki training and attunement with Reiki Master Sarah Willet, completing Reiki Master Level III Attunement to deepen the lasting healing experience for my clients.
In 2022,
I published my first book and memoir,
Through my real-life experiences, consider it your spiritual rookie's guide from darkness to light, navigating through heartbreak and loss, spiritual awakening, and the discovery of radical self-love and fulfillment in life.
In early 2023,
I launched the Opening the Channel to Write Your Story intuitive writing course I co-created with book coach, Nicole Washburn, to help others write and share their powerful stories.
A few months later, I earned a Sound Healer certification and returned to local studios to offer public restorative yoga classes & sound baths.
Now,
I continue to guide clients, online and in-person, through through my Manifesting Miracles programs with card readings, coaching, yoga, & energy healing and co-lead aspiring writers through the Opening the Channel program.
You can also find me sharing books and homemade healing goodies at local wellness fairs and leading yoga & writing classes, workshops, and private retreats across Montana and Wisconsin.
