In this episode, Jennifer De Rossi joins me for a powerful conversation about meditation and the power of intention.

Jennifer is a creative soul, inspired by the deep complexities of life as it flows through everything and everyone. She is a mixed media artist, and holds several certifications including yoga and meditation teacher, and spiritual coach. As a new mother, at the age of 31, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and entered her dark night of the soul – an event that she now believes was the greatest blessing and awakening of her life thus far. Embarking on her healing journey, Jennifer quickly became fascinated by the world of holistic wellness, quantum physics and spirituality.

Her curiosity and thirst for knowledge led her to study many modalities that activated a higher consciousness. Through these practices, Jennifer was able to heal herself from a lifetime of emotional blocks and free herself from the limiting beliefs that kept her trapped in a cycle of dis-ease. Along this path, she grew to love the potent healing power of attending women's circles. Inspired to create more connections, Moonstone Collective was born.
