Weekly Guest: Jennifer Lovejoy will share her wisdom and insights on Embodied Presence and the Human Condition every Tuesday on the Radical Love Now Podcast.
Jennifer is perpetually attracted to the mystery of life. As a somatic therapist, she explores this mystery through the wild and unpredictable relationship between body mind and soul. She loves to question life…. What does it mean to be human? To live in a body? To be connected and awake? In her practice, Lovejoy Embodiment, she employs Soma Neuromuscular Integration, as a way to journey with clients from the outside into their internal terrain and Embodied Presencing as a way to assist clients unique discovery from the inside of their bodies and beings out into connection with the world.
In this wholistic way of viewing the interconnected being, explorations of mind, experience of the body and soaking into the essence of soul, blend in ways that are unexpected and often circular, which seems to bring the mystery into view again and again.
Jennifer has studied classical horsemanship, the Alexander Technique, Body Mind Centering, Kundalini Yoga, embodied mediation and movement practices and many spiritual models that inform her in formulating sessions (and creating more questions).
Her most profound teachers have been the Soma Institute (www.soma-institute.org), Kim Lincoln (www.kimlincoln.com), Lawrence Conlan (www.passionateease.com), and all of the horses that she has had the pleasure of knowing in her life. But far and away the most powerful teacher of all is the body itself. In the years of working with the beautiful beings and bodies that bring themselves into her practice, she is constantly in awe and wonder at the brilliance, wisdom, mystery and elegance of the body. The teachings are never ending and one lifetime would never be enough to understand it all.
Jennifer is an Advanced Certified Soma Structural Integrator with a BA in Human Ecology.
Weekly Guest: Dr. Donna Starita will guide us on a journey of exploration of Vibrational Medicine and Healing every Wednesday on the Radical Love Now Podcast.
Dr. Donna M Starita, Medical Intuitive, Teacher, Author
Her Practice Is: A Place for Healing Vibrational Medicine – “Where Science and Spirituality Meet” to offer animals and people new concepts in what’s possible for their health and healing.
Dr.Starita has researched and practiced energetic healing techniques for animals and people for forty years. At her practice, A Place for Healing in Damascus, Oregon she combines her background in medicine, intuitive healing and quantum physics and continues to help define and contribute to the growing field of Vibrational Medicine.
” Imagine that anything is possible and open to a new concept in healing”.
According to the new physics, every living thing has a unique frequency or vibration. Einstein’s famous equation E=Mc2 showed us how energy and matter are interchangeable. Consequently, if we view the physical body as energy, change the energy, change the form. Consequently, physical symptoms can be viewed as imbalances in the more subtle energy levels of the person or animal, and identified and cured at that level.
“All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force…We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter”.
Max Planck, Nobel Prize Winner in Physics
Connecting with the client’s own innate wisdom, Living Systems Analysis and Quantum Frequency Rebalancing TM are techniques that allow the Dr.Starita to connect with the patient through the quantum field of which we are all a part, and to provide balancing frequencies, allowing the patient to heal at multiple levels – physical, etheric, emotional, mental and spiritual. The results are often nothing short of miraculous.
Dr.Starita is a graduate of Rutgers University and The Ohio State University of Veterinary Medicine. She is current and past-president of The International Alliance for Animal Therapy and Healing, and has taught clinics internationally. She is author of numerous articles on vibrational healing techniques and is available for phone or in-house consultations as well as classes.

Balance
Balance comes through reduction of pain, improved immunity, emotional well being and increased energy. Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine have the ability to brilliantly effect this balance. Acupuncture, herbs, bodywork, healthy eating and lifestyle all play a role in obtaining overall synergy. I feel so blessed on a daily basis that I am doing what I enjoy most – helping people find balance and feel better in their bodies.
Having practiced for 15 years I have had the honor to treat many different types of people and issues. True healing comes from within; my role is to help support you during your process of healthy self-discovery and making good choices that bring balance into your life.
Areas of Focus
My areas of focus include Acupuncture, Herbal Therapy, Aromatherapy, Colorpuncture, Shiatsu (form of bodywork) and Tuning Forks (sound therapy). Each session incorporates one or more of these disciplines allowing enhanced support for each individual. I use many non- invasive techniques to allow comfort for the people I treat.
Children and Teens
I love working with children, including those with special needs. I started focusing on working with kids and teens a few years ago and found that it was so rewarding to see children become stronger in their minds and bodies. Headaches, stomachaches, bed wetting, anxiety, stress, body pain, hormonal imbalances, side effects from autoimmune diseases, side effects from prescription drugs are just some of the areas I have helped treat. Watching children begin to navigate the world differently due to reduction of stress and pain is amazing and makes my job so fun!
From Dance to Acupuncture
I initially studied modern dance, and my favorite courses were Anatomy, Physiology and Kinesiology. Learning how the intricacies of our body work together was what I loved most. In 1995 I had a severe dance injury that required long term healing. I decided to try Acupuncture to reduce my pain and was amazed at the results. That injury took me out of dance and into medicine, a path that I happily embrace.
When I am not treating patients I am either spending time with my two beautiful boys, in a yoga class, dancing, hiking, climbing and traveling.
I look forward to working with you,
Shannon
