Jennifer Holt is a certified EMDR Level II Therapist, a healer, an author and a sacred song practitioner. She has Masters and Doctoral degrees in Educational Psychology from the University of Minnesota. As a certified EMDR Level II Therapist, she helps individuals recover from trauma, grief and loss. In most cases, through a very effective combination of techniques including EMDR, reparenting, NLP and forgiveness/spiritual work, her clients are able to completely reclaim their lives (see Techniques page for more information). In addition to working with grief and loss, Jennifer helps clients who are interested in clearing obstacles to personal change, and creating lives of contentment, peace and fulfillment.

Jennifer (aka Jennifer Salima) has also volunteered within the U.S. prison system extensively, and served for many years as a death and dying midwife. Jennifer's experiences with grief and loss, inspired by her clients and her work with women prisoners, are now available in the inspirational book, Sacred Gateway of Grief and Loss: Freeing the Imprisoned Soul (Indigo Heart Publishing, 2009). Michael Bernard Beckwith, author of Spiritual Liberation: Fulfilling Your Soul’s Potential, writes, “Reading Dr. Holt’s book is a healing experience in itself. Her compassionate wisdom teaches us how to keep opening our hearts wider and wider, without limits, which results in unconditional love and acceptance of oneself and others. Her ability to combine depth with humor, psychology with spirituality, empowers us to nurture our own heart-commitment to all beings.”

Jennifer's "sister project," Ecstatic Groove: Sacred World Chant Infusions (Salima's Whirled Peas, 2009), showcases haunting mystical chants from Sufi, Gregorian, Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, Native American, Hawaiian and African spiritual lineages. Martin Keller, music reviewer for Amazon.com, writes, "Who would have thought the long strange trip that the leader of a smart "all-girl" new wave band from Minneapolis in the '80s (Tetes Noires) embarked upon would include this immaculately realized mélange of select, sacred world music that reflects the spiritual songs and transcendent power of Muslim, Native American, Western, Eastern and other traditions? Jennifer Salima Holt, now a practicing "New Thought Muslim,” uses her grace-filled and mellifluent voice, plus simple but captivating contemporary arrangements, to create a collection of beautiful songs that lovingly expose the deep inner light of each faith journey. As a companion piece to her book, Sacred Gateway of Grief and Loss: Freeing the Imprisoned Soul (Indigo Publishing, 2009) and a testament to her work with women in prison around the world (many for actions against strict and outmoded religious codes), Ecstatic Groove: Sacred World Chant Infusions, with grammy-nominated Ben Leinbach co-producing, is a gorgeous illumination of the human spirit. But as a stand-alone album of global spiritual songs and chants, the disc will be a constant reminder of the joys and beauty that universal spirituality and innovative music making can bring to seekers and non-seekers alike.” -- Martin Keller, author of Music Legends (D Media)."
