ABOUT JENNIFER
I know what it feels like to hold it all together while quietly falling apart.
Someone who has found her way back to herself... More than once.
MY STORY
The path back to myself.
I grew up in Longueuil, Quebec, a predominantly French-speaking city where I was the only half-Filipina at my elementary school.
I learned early how to belong without quite fitting in. As the eldest daughter in a Filipino-Canadian home, I was praised for being good, responsible, and kind. And I was. I also learned, somewhere along the way, to perform happiness rather than feel it.
​
I lost myself more than once. To codependency. To grief.
To the quiet weight of carrying things I didn't have words for yet.​​
I experienced loss that cracked me wide open: the death of my godmother, my grandparents, and people I considered family who I loved deeply. Each time, I had to find my way back.
​
​For a long time, I said yes when I wanted to say no. I took care of everyone around me before I ever stopped to ask what I needed.
People-pleasing had become so familiar it felt like kindness... but underneath it, I was disappearing.
Reiki found me at 22, when I Googled "how to say no to people" and landed on my Reiki teacher's blog. Something shifted.
For the first time in a long time, I could feel myself again.
​
My heart. My body. My soul.
​
Then at 25, I began therapy. I opened up about the guilt and shame I carried in my heart.
I gave myself permission to feel the anger, sadness, and grief underneath.
I found a way to put my feelings into words.
Together, these two paths gave me what I'd been looking for: a way to come home to myself.
I learned how to trust again. To forgive myself for the things I couldn't control.
I called my power back.
I learned how to save myself.
​
I went on to complete my Masters in Counseling Psychology, become a Canadian Certified Counselor, and a Reiki Master.
The path wasn't handed to me. I paved my own way in. And I kept choosing myself, even when it was hard.
Especially when it was hard.
​
And slowly, I came back to myself. More whole than ever before.
​
Today I live in Longueuil with my partner Marcello, five minutes from my family. I write songs, journal, and keep showing up.
Echo Alignment has been a vision I've carried for over a decade. Bringing it to life is one of the proudest moments of my life.
I manifested my dream into reality.
This is what I'm all about: helping others do the same.
It starts with saying yes to yourself. Believing before seeing. Taking action, resting, and celebrating along the way.
I Echo Alignment.
For myself. For my family. For my clients. For the world.
MY PHILOSOPHY
What I know to be true.
These aren't just professional values. They're the beliefs I've lived, learned, and come back to in my own life.
You already have
what you need
The wisdom, the capacity, the answers... they live inside you.
My role is to help you access
what's yours to receive.
You are not
your patterns
The ways you learned to survive served you once. They don't have to define you forever.
Healing starts
from within
Real healing moves from the inside out. It starts with turning toward yourself and taking responsibility for what's yours.
The body and mind
are inseparable
The mind holds the story. The body holds the memory. You can't heal one without the other.
That's why I work with both.
No pressure
to perform healing
Healing doesn't look a certain way. You don't have to perform it for anyone, including me.
Come as you are.
Rest is part of
the work
Healing isn't a sprint. It's a rhythm. Moving forward, resting, integrating, and coming back to yourself.
Again and again.
The path forward is one we co-create
Healing happens in relationship.
I walk alongside you, not ahead of you.
And the path we pave together is yours to keep.
MY APPROACH
Where counseling and energy healing meet.
I spent years feeling like my mind and my body were speaking different languages.
Counseling helped me understand the patterns. Reiki helped me release what words couldn't reach.
Together they gave me something neither could alone.
That's why I offer both. Not because everyone needs both, but because some people do, and I want to be able to meet them there.

BEYOND THE PRACTICE
The whole human.
Before I was a counselor or a Reiki Master, I was a girl with a diary, a song, and a voice.
Music has been my first therapist: carrying me through grief, heartache, and the long quiet years of figuring out who I am.
Now the world gets to hear it.
The Artist
Singer-songwriter, storyteller, and creative soul. Music has been my medicine long before it became a practice. My oldest companion and truest form of expression.
The Seeker
Always moving and always going deeper. Running, camping under the stars, and following what lights my soul. Inspiration is my compass.
The Human
A daughter, a partner, a sister, and a friend who still feels everything deeply. Close to the people I love, rooted in what matters (and I
wouldn't have it any other way).
