Signature Keynote
Can I Hold My Child?
“Can I Hold My Child?” is more than a keynote—it is the soul of Jennifer’s work. This powerful, embodied talk explores the core question every parent, caregiver, and human holds at some point: Can I hold the full truth of this child? Their joy, their grief, their needs—and my own?
This keynote traces the developmental, emotional, and ancestral layers beneath our capacity to truly "hold" our children—not just physically, but emotionally, spiritually, and somatically. It dives into:
-
How our early imprints affect our ability to connect and attune
-
The relationship between nervous system regulation and presence
-
The ancestral grief of not being held ourselves—and how that shapes our parenting
-
How parenting becomes a portal for healing, awakening, and re-villaging
Whether speaking to a room of parents, educators, therapists, or policy-makers, Jennifer delivers this talk as a living transmission—blending storytelling, science, and spiritual depth. It is an invitation to remember that holding a child is holding the world.

“Jennifer’s ‘Holding Space’ talk was unlike anything I’ve experienced. She didn’t just speak—she created a living, breathing container of healing. I felt seen, softened, and called back to parts of myself I’d forgotten. Her words were medicine, but her presence was the true gift.”
