Today we’d like to introduce you to Jenna Dimaggio
Hi Jenna, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I graduate with my Bachelors of Science in Nursing in 2010 from Concordia University Wisconsin. I committed to join the US Navy as a nurse at the end of my junior year and spent 7 years on active duty and 2 years in the active reserves. In 2017 when I transitioned to life as a civilian, I was navigating a few big personal life challenges. My mom passed in 2010 when I was a senior in college, I went through a challenging breakup the month I transitioned off active duty in 2017, and my dad passed Nov 2017. I was feeling a lot of inner turmoil and found myself replaying conversations over and over in my head, both ones that had already happened and ones I was anticipating having in the future. I began praying and searching for inner peace. During this time I was reading a lot of personal development books, I was in therapy, I tried meditation, journaling, and yoga to name a few.
The reason this time was so challenging for me was because I didn’t know who I was as an individual. I was a chameleon and took on what other people liked instead of learning who I was and what I liked. It was a period of great inner discovery and I learned to be in a relationship with myself. I learned to be alone and what it was like to be in my own energy and make decisions for myself for once.
In 2018 I traveled to Bali twice. My first trip was in May and I went with my brother and another friend. Our trip concluded with having two sessions with a local healer. After my second session with her, she looked at me and told me I would go back to the US a different person. At the time I had no idea what that meant, but it sent me on a powerful trajectory of self discovery and healing. I traveled back to Bali in December, as my first solo international trip, and the first thing I did was see that healer again. Several days later I had a moment of great clarity where I realized I was meant to help people heal with energy, like this woman who had helped me. In that moment I committed to this journey. I felt like having the background as a nurse and how the body works physiologically was paramount to this other calling of being an energy medicine practitioner. One of the realizations I had while working in the pediatric ICU was that I felt like western medicine was putting bandaids on problems. That medications acted as bandaids, instead of helping a person heal, they just tamed the symptoms of the problem. I wanted to help people heal and uproot the cause of these problems.
As soon as I returned home from Bali, I began learning energy healing from a woman here in the US, Laurie Gardner. Laurie taught me the foundations of energy and energy healing, how it works, the chakras, how to read energy, etc. While learning from her I was working as a travel nurse in pediatric ICUs. I traveled to Bali for a 3rd trip June 2019 and I was able to learn from a Master Balinese healer. He taught me other techniques for working with energy. I continue to practice and hone my gift. October 2019 I sold my car, gave my dog away, put everything in storage and booked a one way ticket to India. I traveled around for a few weeks and then spent a month at Sivananda Ashram, where I complete my yoga teacher training in Hatha Yoga. From there I went on to Bali, and while I was there everything seemed to fall into place. I found a property that I loved and I made friends with a girl and we came up with a business that we felt we could execute. I booked my ticket home to the US just to get my things in order to move back to live in Bali full time.
I was scheduled to return to Bali on a Friday to start my new life, but the pandemic shut the world down on the Wednesday before my flight was supposed to leave. I felt like I put my life on hold and was waiting to start my life in Bali. I realized I needed to start things here in the US, so I began offering energy healings, Akashic Record readings, and guided meditations to clients and began building my business here and I still offer these same offerings today.
Fast forward a few years, I partnered with a friend, Lindsay Fruchey, and we created the Magic of Earth Oracle Card Deck. Lindsay was inspired by my nature photos and wanted to create something with them. Though some brainstorming we came up with the concept of an oracle deck inspired by nature. We used the Akashic Records to tune into the photos and ask them what message each place in nature was wanting to share. From that, a message and contemplative questions were written to go along with each card. This July, we released the Magic of Earth Oracle Deck for sale to the public. We now sell them online on our website and select stores in San Diego and Fort Wayne, Indiana.
The other business I co-created this year is a podcast called Mindful Travel Meditations, with my best friend Kate Hatcher. Kate plays the piano while I lead guided meditations. One night we were brainstorming how to save time while creating more peace in the world. We thought where do people spend a lot of time, in their car in traffic, which is stressful to a lot of people. So we create our guided meditations to provide peace to people traveling in all different modes of travel like driving in the car, flying, walking, and hiking to name a few.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
My biggest struggle has been growing the businesses, creating awareness and visibility. Taking about spirituality, consciousness, and energy are not widely accepted and I had to accept that what I offer is not for everyone.
I thought if I built it, they would come. The slow growth has been hard for me. I don’t like to promote very often on my social media because I want to grow organically by word of mouth. I want to attract clients that are aligned and resonate with what I offer. So it has been challenging to trust the process and trust the Universe that things will work out the way they are meant to at the right time.
A big lesson for me was accepting where I was at. I have this grand vision and I get frustrated and impatient that I’m not already somewhere further along on my journey. I still work part time as an RN in pediatric radiation oncology, but I would prefer to be spending all my time working on my businesses. Working as a nurse can be draining and I want to be fully in charge of my schedule. The key for me was acceptance. Accepting where I am at, and being fully present here instead of wanting to be some place in the future, was a big shift for me. Along with embracing the fact that I am an RN. As soon as I did this I created a presentation called self care for healthcare professionals which talks about how to combat compassion fatigue and burnout. I offer practical tools and advice on how to accomplish this and feel more fulfilled. I was able to present this at Rady Children’s Interprofessional Symposium and at the World Nursing Conference earlier this month.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
My current offerings are energy healings, Akashic Record readings, and guided meditations. In all of these offerings I am the vessel that channels energy through me for the client. I have been through a lot of challenging things early on in my life. I want to provide people a sense of hope and guide them into a greater sense of peace within themselves. I am proof that your life can turn our better than you thought, despite grief, heartache, and great loss. And to help people discover who it is that they are, what their purpose is, and how to align with it. We all deserve happiness, joy, love, peace, and abundance. These are our birthright, we just have to open up and allow them to reach us.
Energy Healings: I believe we are all energetic beings having a human experience. When emotions (energy in motion) are not processed or cleared, they build up in our energetic fields and create blockages. Over time these blockages continue to accumulate, which can lead to disease and problems in the physical body. Through clearing this stagnant energy, physical aliments and diseases can be treated. I act as a vessel for Divine energy to flow through and hold space for healing to take place. I will use my hands to do a comprehensive scan of your energy field, clearing and filtering the energy within your energetic field. Releasing stagnant energy, allowing for a more harmonious flow throughout the entire system. During the session I will use a combination of tools including my breath and incense, that I learned while studying in Bali with a local healer and mom figure for me, whom I call Auntie. I begin each healing with an assessment of the chakras, energy centers, in the body. I gain a sense of the client’s energy and am guided to move the energy around to be more open. I clear energy that is not supportive or no longer needed. I add in energy to the energy field or chakras. I often guide the clients to visualize different things to assist me in their healing so we can work together to clear and harmonize their energy. I hold space for the client to come into alignment with a version of themselves that is healed. During and after a healing the client feels at peace, centered, grounded, and lighter. They leave feeling a greater sense of clarity.
The Akashic Records is an energetic living library that contains the record of every soul that has ever incarnated on Earth. It stores information about our past, present, and future lives. Each soul has its own unique Akashic Record, which can serve as a powerful resource when we engage with its wisdom. I connect with the client’s Akashic Record and relay information in a gentle and loving way. I am the channel for the Masters to deliver the information requested and needed for your highest and best interest at that moment in time. You are able to receive information surrounding your purpose and how to release old patterns that no longer serve you. The Akashic Record is a great tool to provide greater clarity, insight and healing into your life. Benefits of an Akashic Record Consultation are: Expanding your consciousness, guidance and forward momentum, clarity and insight, alignment with you Inner Being / Soul / Life purpose, healing, releasing anything holding you back.
In today’s society we are always on the go. Leading to increased levels of stress, depression, and anxiety. We all want more peace, yet we don’t take the time to slow down. Meditation is a great practice to cultivate a greater sense of peace and stillness in our lives. It assists in calming the mind to better deal with life’s situations. When we learn to control the mind we can control all aspects of our life. Guided Meditations are my specialty and I can create them to assist the client to receive whatever they are needing in that moment in time. I help clients create and maintain their own meditation practice and I lead guided meditations to foster a greater sense of peace within them. I record some meditations and put them on YouTube and Insight Timer for free. I also really enjoy doing this for athletes to improve their visualization process.
Can you talk to us a bit about the role of luck?
I feel like I am a lucky person, but I attribute this to believing in the good in the world. I believe we receive the energy we put out in the world. Our thoughts create our reality and our inner reality is a reflected back to us by observing the world we are experiencing. I say this mantra a lot “thank you for always being in the right place, at the right time, with the right people.” I also believe that the Universe is orchestrating things for our highest and greatest good. That things will happen if they are meant to and things will happen in divine timing. Everything that has happened to me, happened synchronistically.
The right people have always showed up into my life at the right time. Things haven’t progressed the way I wanted them to, but I just keep trusting it will all work out better than I think at the right time. And if I wanted things to go the way I wanted, i.e. if I would have moved to Bali, I wouldn’t be married to my amazing wife. Sometimes a no, is a redirection or realignment for a greater purpose. We can’t always understand this at the time, but looking back on our lives, we can see why things turned out they way they did.
