Biography for Jennifer Au, PT, DPT, CHt

Jennifer Au is the founder of I Am Home Holistic Wellness and a passionate guide for highly sensitive individuals seeking to transform their relationship with complex trauma, anxiety, and chronic pain. As a somatic hypnotherapist, Doctor of Physical Therapy, and holistic bodyworker, Jennifer combines her diverse expertise to help clients return to a place of internal safety, belonging, authenticity, and self-love.

Through a holistic approach that integrates mind, body, and spirit, Jennifer offers personalized one-on-one sessions in somatic hypnotherapy and bodywork, as well as transformative programs such as the Coming Home Program and the Mindful Integrative Chronic Pain Program.

In her practice, Jennifer incorporates a variety of therapeutic modalities, including hypnosis, guided imagery, somatic experiencing, meditation, and retreats. These tools support clients in tapping into their inner resources, gaining clarity, and developing lasting resilience. Her focus on mind-body awareness and self-compassion equips clients with practical techniques to manage stress, set healthy boundaries, and align with their highest values. Jennifer’s approach not only addresses immediate emotional and physical challenges but also encourages lasting, meaningful change that supports clients in leading joyful, purposeful lives.

Experience

Jennifer’s primary focus within her practice is trauma, complex PTSD, chronic pain, and anxiety. Through her own journey of healing from cPTSD, she brings both lived and learned experience in navigating emotional flashbacks and difficult emotions within the body. Her approach is deeply informed by training in hypnotherapy, somatic experiencing, physical therapy, and pain reprocessing therapy.

In addition, Jennifer is a dedicated meditation practitioner who has lived in Buddhist monasteries and completed over 20 silent meditation retreats. Drawing from her extensive training and personal practice, she has been guiding clients to “come home” to themselves as a holistic practitioner since 2021. Through one-on-one sessions and her signature Coming Home Program, she supports individuals in processing trauma and difficult emotions through a mind-body holistic approach—ultimately helping them live more fully in the present moment.
