Jennifer Bailey

Jennifer Bailey is a certified Brain State Technologies Practitioner. Jennifer has a host of experience in both healing and spiritual methods including: Psych-K, a user-friendly method of communicating with the subconscious mind to create a receptive state of mind; Quantum Touch, a method that uses the scientific concepts of resonance and entrainment to facilitate healing. As the practitioner learns to raise her vibration and creates a high level of energy, her client’s body follows to the higher frequency and allows the client’s own biological intelligence to facilitate healing; and Emotional Freedom Technique which provides a means of clearing the emotional charge that the body’s energy meridians hold and store long term after a traumatic or stressful experience. The result is a lighter sense of being and a healthier overall perspective on life.
