How Can I Help You?
Hi, I’m Jen
I work with people who have carried a lot for a very long time.
Many of my clients are healers, clinicians, spiritual seekers, leaders, educators, frontline helpers, and professionals in high-responsibility roles, and organizational environments where the nervous system lives under chronic demand. Others come because they’ve lived through trauma—single event or complex—and are ready to do the real work of recovery, not just symptom management. What they share is a willingness to show up and go deeper than coping strategies alone.
Many of the people I work with are highly capable, deeply sensitive, and used to pushing through. Over time, the very skills that made them effective—empathy, attunement, and composure under pressure—began to cost more than they realized. This work exists for those moments when insight isn’t enough, effort no longer works, and the body is asking for something truer and freer.
This is somatic, depth-oriented therapy. We work under the surface, through the body, the nervous system, the fascia system, and awareness itself. Together, we build real stability, not by overriding your sensitivity, but by teaching your system how to inhabit it and turn it into your superpower.
My work blends trauma therapy, embodiment, and spirituality (when it’s relevant to you). We don’t just talk about boundaries, we establish them through felt experience, energetically and somatically, so you can stay present without absorbing what isn’t yours, and reclaim what is. Over time, what once felt like overwhelm or trauma patterns becomes your wisdom, your awakening, your capacity and clarity. What you’ve endured can be your catalyst to becoming fully YOU. Your past is not a life sentence, but it can be the precipice for your path to liberation.
If you’re looking for quick fixes, nervous system hacks, or acute crisis care, this won’t be the right fit. But if you’re ready to go all the way, to feel like yourself again, grounded in your body and steady in your life, this work can meet you there.
Jennifer Finch, LPC, NCC, CBCT, SEP
Jennifer Finch, an expert in her field, is a teacher at heart, a somatic trauma psychotherapist, an embodiment and nondual meditation instructor, a retreat leader, a content creator, and an international public speaker who draws on decades of clinical practice, contemplative science, and meditative study. Prior to founding her private practice, Be Here Now Mindfulness, LLC, in 2012, Jennifer spent decades in emergency medicine, inpatient psychiatry, community mental health, and small and large-scale crisis management, as well as teaching at several university settings. She served on disaster action teams, including deployments to the front lines of Hurricane Katrina, where she witnessed both the magnitude of human suffering and the resiliency of the human spirit. Today, Jennifer teaches and speaks internationally on trauma and vicarious trauma recovery, the science of compassion, embodiment, and sustainable caregiving for frontline healthcare providers, focusing on post-traumatic growth, and preventing burnout, empathic distress, and overwhelm. Her mission is to amplify what is good in humanity and make this easier.
In addition to her teaching and group work, Jennifer maintains a boutique private practice, offering individualized psychotherapy for adults.

Jennifer combines spirituality with psychology and helps those who are ready to go all the way into lived embodiment.
This is not an entry point of care. Jennifer no longer works with acute crisis management. She specializes in long-term transformation, not short-term stabilization. Her role at this time is to no longer manage crises, suicidality, relapse prevention, or provide case management. Together, the focus is on depth, on turning trauma, vicarious trauma, burnout, or chronic stress and anxiety into growth through embodied awareness and spiritual maturity.
This work is best suited for people who already have a foundation, those who have done some therapy, training, or inner work; and/or who have supported others and are now ready to integrate what they know and live from it more fully.
If you feel called to transform your lived experience into wisdom, this work may be for you.
SERVICES
Somatic Experiencing® + Realization process®
1:1 Individual Body-based Trauma Psychotherapy
All talked out? When insight stops helping, it’s usually because the mind is working alone. This is where Somatic Experiencing™ comes in—a neurophysical approach based on one simple truth: the body and mind aren’t two separate systems. You can’t think your way out of what the body is still holding.
Or, if you’re drawn to a deeper spiritual-psychology lens, there’s the Realization Process®—a direct, nondual method for inhabiting your body and restoring inner coherence.
Trauma—even trauma born from vicarious ways—is not a life sentence.
There are ways back into yourself that don’t depend on talking your way through the pain.

Continued Education Trainings for Clinicians or Seekers
You’re here. Take it as a sign. It’s time to try something different.
Through the Healing Ground Realization Process®, innovative body-based methods, the science of meditation, and a systems-theory understanding of differentiation, we work together to bring you back into full embodiment and a steady sense of self.
Individual sessions are valuable—but immersive retreats, courses, and workshops accelerate the work in a way weekly therapy simply cannot. What might take nearly a year to unravel in traditional therapy can often be addressed far more efficiently in an intensive setting, where your attention, nervous system, and body have the space to shift all at once.
If you’re ready to elevate your healing, start with a course.

Trauma Conscious Somatic Meditation Coaching
Do you live outside of Georgia but still want to do the work?
Somatic meditation isn’t just another practice—it’s a doorway into the depth of your own awareness. It allows you to wake up to what’s already here, beneath the noise of thinking and the habits of interpretation. It reconnects you to the internal space that most of us lost somewhere between survival, achievement, and tending to everyone else’s needs.
I offer a carefully curated consciousness curriculum designed to develop your internal capacity, strengthen your sense of self, and expand your ability to move through life with grounded awareness. It’s a structured progression for people who want to grow in a deliberate, intelligent, and sustainable way, but you don’t need the therapeutic component and want to focus more deeply on your practice.
Somatic meditation and embodiment are not luxuries; they are part of our human inheritance.
Client Words
“Jen was incredibly helpful, patient, kind, and knowledgable. I have a fairly strong background in meditation/mindfulness and was not sure how much new information I would learn. I was greatly surprised how much I received and how well I was taught to implement it in my daily life. My experience was personally and professionally beneficial and well timed. Jen is obviously well versed in her subject.”—seasoned practitioner
“Thanks to Jennifer for introducing me to a unique program that enlightens, grounds & guides me daily. Healing Ground has truly matured my daily embodiment practice. A quantum leap beyond the mindfulness practices available 5-10 years ago.”—seasoned therapist
“It was a life changing class. Most of my anxiety is gone. I have found out through traveling to the Costa Rican Jungle alone I am still an anxious traveler but put me in any social situation and I am able to stay grounded now. I will continue to tell people about Jennifer’s class Healing Ground.”—successful business woman
“This course was so incredibly profound and beneficial. I’ve studied Buddhism for over three decades and I even attended a master’s program at a Buddhist University! I never received the depth of learning and an effective process to cultivate an embodied presence while feeling grounded in my true nature, free from conditioning and personal narratives from past experiences. I’m enjoying the new freedom I have in exploring emotionally charged states of being from a more expansive and secure place in myself. Having survived difficult traumas, there is nothing more important than finding safety inside my own body, and now I have a means for this! Thanks so much for your expertise snd skillfulness in your teaching and your gracious way of holding space and responding in such a comprehensive way. I felt so supported and all of me was welcome! Many blessings!”—seasoned therapist
“As a yoga instructor I thought I was fairly or even strongly connected to my body. What I learned from Jennifer is that I was only aware of my body, but not actually in my body. I wasn’t “inhabited” as she says. I found places that were numb and constricted and full of anxiety. After her embodiment class, I am finally feeling like I am living and present in my body. This has changed everything, and the way I teach yoga now.”—successful business woman/ yoga instructor
Welcome to Be Here Now,
I am passionate about helping others discover how to use the body itself as a supremely powerful tool for connecting us to the joy and freedom our lives have to offer. Trauma and chronic stress patterns from our past, or even relational present, keep us, or on extreme occasions, have completely severed us, from experiencing our world in its most pure and rich texture and brilliance. And, it now hinders our ability to continue holding space for others.
I’m here to tell you that you’re deserving of a full, rich life without trauma triggers and an overdrive nervous system nagging you. You already have everything you need within you to heal, and you can fight to restore your vitality, even against all odds of your past, or current situation. All you need is the courage to begin, and a curiosity to plumb the depths of your somatic interior.
