Welcome

I'M JENNIFER

Somatic writing coach, writer and creator of Body Writing™

I believe our bodies hold our stories, and affect everything from our physiology to our relationship with ourselves. I help deep-feeling, highly sensitive women navigating complex trauma feel grounded in their bodies and self-affirming in their hearts.

Whether you seek peace inside your skin or to write your story true, we use the Body Writing™ framework to match your internal experience to the words on your page – healing your story from the inside out.

Jennifer Arnspiger Certified Somatic Writing Coach resolve somatic trauma through writing and 1:1 coaching

Jennifer Arnspiger testimonial for Highly Sensitive Healing 1:1 somatic trauma coach

Jennifer helped me write from a somatic, honest place and craft a much more embodied, somatically authentic story.

She tended to my emotional barriers. Her sensitive, compassionate, gentle nature coupled with her thoughtful, insightful, attentive feedback – all provided in a deeply safe container – has helped me soften my perfectionism. I'm braver, more honest and vulnerable on my page after working with her and I trust my voice. She is a gem of a coach and a human. I wholeheartedly recommend Jennifer!"

RACHEL K.

testimonial for Jennifer Arnspiger resolve somatic trauma through writing

Working with Jennifer is the sunlight thawing decades of winter.

"Working with her is everything I hoped it would be and nothing I thought it would be. She holds a safe container for me to express deep pain without feeling rushed or embarrassed, reminds me to lean into my feelings and to notice how they manifest in my body.

I've spent my life listening to the loud, critical voices within and living by their demands: don't be seen, don't be heard, stay small, stay safe. I thought I had nothing to say and nothing to give – that I was empty inside. Working with Jennifer has shown me that the opposite is true. There was so much inside that it paralyzed me. My nervous system was stuck in freeze and shutdown.

Her process has made it safe for me to feel big feelings. Working with her helped me dig to my very core – to find out that I am not who I thought I was. I am both stronger and more sensitive than I could ever have known."

JANE McGEOGHAN

She's been able to help me process things no one else has even gotten close to.

"Working with Jennifer has changed my life. I'm getting unstuck in areas I thought would be there for life. I've made sense of, cleared things and uncovered more than I ever realized I could, and have started to chip away at pain that has been there for decades.

Jennifer is the best coach I have ever come across. I'm deeply grateful for her, her support and her incredible work."

THE SOMATIC MAP

Ready for story clarity?

The Somatic Story Map is a private, two-hour deep dive to map your memoir through the sensations in your body.

You either feel a lot of sensation or hold a lot of it back and are a writer at heart, ready to write your story...but where do you begin? How can you know that the moments you choose to write about are the moments your body needs to write about – for healing and a devastatingly rich narrative?

In this session, we'll invite your body to show us. The back half of our time will be dedicated to integration – to anchor your insights and help you process any emotional charge that opens up. By completion of our time, you'll have a chapter-by-chapter somatic outline, a grounded, inspired nervous system and custom Somatic Story Map PDF, to help you stay focused while writing your story true.
