STOP ANALYZING YOURSELF LIKE A PROBLEM
START RELATING TO YOURSELF LIKE A PERSON
You're in a neglectful relationship with yourself but it's not your fault.
Most of us are walking around with a complicated relationship to ourselves. You might feel emotionally stuck, hyper self-critical, or like you're just surviving the day.
You’ve tried what you were told would help: journaling, affirmations, mindset work. But the connection still feels out of reach. It’s like trying to build a relationship with someone who won’t meet you with intimacy or presence. You keep showing up, but they don’t. And it’s exhausting.
That’s because we’ve been taught to build a relationship with ourselves using only our thoughts, ignoring the senses that make connection real—seeing, hearing, and witnessing. Portrait Healing changes that.
This framework helps you reconnect with yourself through the power of self-witnessing, so you can build a felt, emotional relationship with yourself instead of just thinking about one.
Download the free guide and take the first step toward emotional clarity, self-compassion, and a connection that finally sticks.
Hi, I’m Jennifer.
An artist whose survival story accidentally became a healing method that works.
This didn’t begin with a master plan. It started with a breakdown, a camera, and a desperation to maintain myself as an artist when I felt too disconnected to create anything else.
I wasn’t trying to heal. I was just trying not to disappear.
Even after therapy, journaling, and trying every tool I was told would help, I still felt emotionally stuck.
I had awareness but no relief. I was feeling everything, but nothing was moving.
Expression without integration. Awareness without peace.
One night, in a moment of frustration, I got the idea to document myself feeling.
Not to share. Not to analyze. Just to see.
And what I saw changed everything.
For the first time, I experienced what it felt like to relate to myself. That simple act cracked open a kind of compassion I didn’t know I had.
That moment became the seed of what is now Portrait Healing.
Most healing methods focus on talking, analyzing, or managing symptoms.
That can help, but only up to a point.
What I discovered is that real healing doesn’t come from talking it out and intellectualizing.
It comes from witnessing and being present with yourself through both your inner experience and your outward expression.
It means seeing what you feel, and feeling what you see.
Creating the space to co-regulate with yourself, the same way you would with someone you love.
When you work with me, you're not just learning tools.
You're learning how to build a relationship with yourself that can actually be held and felt naturally. One that’s rooted in presence, built on trust, and steady enough to hold everything you carry.
You’re not here because you’re broken.
You’re here because the self-help world taught you to perform healing instead of actually relating to yourself.
That ends now.
THE FRAMEWORK
The Portrait Healing Framework is built around six transformative steps, each designed to function as a standalone tool or as part of a comprehensive healing process. This flexible approach means you can use individual steps for quick support or immerse yourself fully to explore your emotions and foster meaningful self-connection.
Think of these tools as different ways to stay connected with yourself, similar to the variety of conversations that happen in any close relationship. Some offer a quick emotional check-in, like reaching out to share something intense or exciting. Others invite deeper reflection, the kind that helps you feel truly seen and understood. Just as we need different forms of connection with others, we also need varied ways to engage with ourselves. This framework offers both: support for everyday moments and space for deeper emotional processing.
At the heart of this framework are powerful self-witnessing tools, including:
-
Emotional Processing Prompts: Utilize prompts that guide individuals in exploring and gaining a deeper understanding of their emotions.
-
Video Journaling: A cathartic practice used to express thoughts, emotions, and personal experiences through recorded video, enabling introspection and reflection.
Whether you're tapping into a single tool for everyday support or engaging with the full framework for a deep, transformative experience, Portrait Healing meets you where you are and guides you toward a genuine relationship with yourself.

"After trying nearly every kind of therapy, group, and self-help program under the sun, I finally found the answers I was seeking inside of myself with Portrait Healing. Portrait Healing gave me the tools I needed to meet myself in the mirror and begin my healing journey. The True Mirror is a life-changing tool that allows you to see yourself objectively and helps you start to change your beliefs through examination and reflection on your thought patterns. Jennifer’s compassion, warmth, and energy radiates as she guides you through the program, peppered with her lived experience. Portrait Healing puts YOU back in your own driver’s seat, and the experience of self-empowerment is validating and life-giving. Portrait Healing changed my life and I know it will change yours!"

"I've always dealt with some confidence issues regarding my appearance, and my therapist suggested trying a self-portrait workshop to complement my therapy sessions. That's when I discovered Portrait Healing online, and I'm so grateful I did. Despite initially expecting the course to be overwhelming, it turned out to be gentle and personalized allowing for me to move at my own pace. It's only been a month since I finished the workshop, but I'm already seeing positive changes. The True Mirror and video journaling is really helping get out of my head by showing the reality vs my reality. Jennifer, the instructor, is fantastic and having her story inner mixed into the lesson is really empowering. Definitely recommend Portrait Healing for anyone looking for more tools to help them on their self love journey!"

"This program guided by Jenn continues to help me identify my feelings, align my thoughts and build upon the growth mindset foundations that I already have in place. Utilizing the tool, the True Mirror, allows me to see myself as others see me head on. Adding in the Portrait Healing methodology to my personal care toolkit was a missing piece. I value the method that Jenn has designed as it promotes a certain level of vulnerability and deep connection with self. If you are new or experienced with your mindfulness journey, I highly encourage you to add this tool to your self care toolkit. You will use it over and over again."
