Jen brings in all of her years of training and knowledge in energy healing and mindful practices, and her training as a certified Sound Healing practitioner into each session. There is a connection established with the client, the client's energy is assessed, then balanced, and then the techniques used during the session are addressing the clients intention for the session as well as for their life experience. 

Having a sound healing session with tuning forks touches a multitude of areas in the 5 areas of consciousness: emotions, physical, mental, spirit, and soul.  The tuning forks use precise, calibrated vibrations to harmonize the body's energy centers, reduce stress, and induce deep relaxation.  As a practitioner, Jen use weighted forks on the body for physical tension and, unweighted forks in the biofield for mental clarity, aligning with principles of entrainment to encourage a shift to a parasympathetic state.

There will be a homeostasis that occurs in the body and mind. The sound and vibrations from the forks promote a deep relaxation, energetic balance, and over-all well-being. The tuning forks work in the energy field (or bio-field) through vibrations, penetrating the cells of our body to create a balanced, relaxed, calm state. There will also be a greater awareness to one's higher self and themselves as a spiritual being.

We use our minds ALL the time! The mind is NOT the brain. It is limitless. A non-physical capacity that projects the physical world based on whether it chooses fear (the ego) or love (God/Holy Spirit/Source/Universe). The mind forms the world we see, and often times we don't understand how to control it. It is in stillness that we can direct our mind, which in turn, can help our brain to promote relaxation, calm and ultimately less pain in the body.  At each session with Jen, the client will experience a state of relaxation where the mind is centered in peace and the goal is to feel the shift into love. The session will address a key point the client can focus on to hep them to create  a mindful practice that can help them in a multitude of ways.

There are some of the ways adapting a mindful practice can help:
*Reduce stress and anxiety
* Develop tools for ongoing mindset shifts and self-empowerment
* Greater self-awareness and emotional freedom
* Confidence to take aligned action
* A clear vision of what’s possible with a shift in perception
* Motivation to reach personal or professional goals
* Relaxation and calm in body and mind
* Change in old patterns of belief
* Learn to reframe, visualize, affirm, and create new empowering ways of thinking]]>Mon, 16 Mar 2026 16:08:15 GMThttps://www.jenfiore.com/blog/the-any-benefits-of-having-a-session-using-tuning-forksJen brings in all of her years of training and knowledge in energy healing and mindful practices, and her training as a certified Sound Healing practitioner into each session.

Here is a list of the many benefits that are possible in a session with tuning forks!

• ​ Managing stress
• Reduce pain
• Deep relaxation
• Aid in reaching goals
• Improving relationships
• Clarity on life direction
• Manage or remove anxiety from your life
• Change old patterns of belief
• Balance your energy
• Potential for deep healing
• Move to a brainwave state that promotes calm
• Biochemical reaction in body
• Balance the Autonomic Nervous System
• Improve local circulation
• Release muscle tension
• Reduce inflammation
• The body comes into sync with the Schumann resonance (specific frequencies that correspond to the the Earth's rhythms and our body)
• The more coherent our energy is, the less we are touched by stress, so we can start to train our bio-energy field and trigger relaxation.
• Sound waves from tuning forks move deep into tissues and energy systems.
• Tuning forks have specific frequencies that correspond to the body's energy centers (chakras) as well as the body's organs. These specific frequencies clear blockages and balance energy flow in meridians (similar to acupuncture).
• Vibrations can soothe the nervous system
• Vibrations can relieve pain (like headaches, joint issues)
• Vibrations can improve circulation
• Vibrations can promote deep relaxation by influencing the body's natural frequencies
• Balance the left and right hemisphere of brain, enabling greater healing, and synchronization of the two parts of brain, so you can become more intuitive and logical. Balancing the two parts of the brain also creates greater relaxation, restoration, recovery, healing, and balance of emotional component of the brain.
• Improved Lymphatic system (tuning fork can stimulate the contraction of lymphatic vessels and blood)

• Heal from trauma by using sound frequencies and vibrations to calm the nervous system, release stored emotional tension, and break up "stuck" energy in the body's biofield. By stimulating the vagus nerve and shifting brainwaves to relaxed states, they help restore energetic balance and promote trauma recovery.

Food is partnered with the experience of love and friendship, of family and celebrating. Food is ever present as the guest at every life event, from weddings to end of life celebrations and special dinners for a job well done to 50th wedding anniversaries. Food is balm that can calm a soul and warm a heart. It’s role in life can become a very valued one, like a friend that has stuck with you for ages knowing exactly what you need and when.
 
When I was growing up, we didn’t call ourselves “foodies” we called ourselves Italians!
 
I have such fond memories of our family gatherings. Of course, there was a good time, laughing and joking while several conversations were happening at the same time. No matter the event we were celebrating, delicious food was always present center stage. In time I DID realize that my family was not the only to experience this relationship with food. It was not just us Italians! Through the years I witnessed so many families honoring their family traditions through food. I saw important days marked by their favorite food. I saw smiles and happiness when they remembered the food they made or they shared a story about who made the dish best in their family.
 
So this leads me to my family and how I became a foodie. As I mentioned, I was raised in an Italian American family in New York. Both sets of grandparents were born in Italy so my parents were the first Americans in our family. Both sets of grandparents took Sunday dinner very seriously, meaning, there was a tremendous amount of food just in case every person at the table wanted a second serving or on the off chance 5-8 other people were going to drop by!  At a very young age, I saw the importance food played in our lives and it went way beyond nurturing our body.
 
What I witnessed was joy! Whoever was hosting the meal created part of the celebration or gathering through their food. Throughout my entire childhood, I saw each meal created in love for us. It was an expression of my mom and dad’s family heritage (Sicilian and Neapolitan) coupled with a desire to make those at the table happy. Another part of the joy experienced was from the actual taste of these delicious dishes that were created.
 
You can see how I started to form my love of food but I need to let you in on the “why” our lives became strictly gluten-free though.  Since the age of eight I had suffered with tremendous stomach pain and distress, which is just a nice way of saying that most of the time after I ate, I would have to rush to the bathroom. We searched for an answer to this mysterious illness that would sometimes give me a break here and there, but frustratingly enough it would also have bouts of last for days on end. There was never any rhyme or reason so I just had to learn to cope with it. The doctors were mystified.  I was resolved to truck on through life and enjoy it the best I could when I could, which were on my up days. Although my chief complaints were my stomach, food was still a great love of mine; I just didn’t know why it didn’t like me back.
 
In 2003, I discovered the answer to this lifelong battle with stomach illness (and so many more symptoms I gathered in the 27 years) was in fact an auto-immune disease called Celiac disease. I also learned, shortly after, that our three children, who were suffering much the same as I did with a large variety of symptoms, had the same disease. The cure for such a disease, a strict gluten-free diet.
 
Eureka! We had an answer to decades of prayers, pain, and tears. My brain started rattling off all that would now happen in my life: more energy, no more pain in my bones, no more stomach distress, no more hospital visits…I just couldn’t contain my joy!  Then my brain also reminded me, “What the heck is gluten!”  
 
As you may recall, 2003 was a time when there wasn’t anything at the grocery store that said these strange words “gluten-free” on the packaging.  Clearly, I wasn’t the only person clueless about gluten. I had to learn how to feed myself and the kids. I had to read labels. I had to learn how to BAKE! Yikes! I was a cook through and through, but baking was nowhere in my wheelhouse.

​I thought about my childhood and my love of the food my family made, I thought about the family gatherings and big parties I would create menus of way too much food for. How the heck was I going to feed people my food and have it taste the same as food with gluten in it.
 
I cried in the closet. I didn’t want to kids to feel defeated like I felt. Then I realized I needed to step up and control this narrative!
 
I became “Vigilantly Mom”, with an invisible cape, as I attacked every single recipe tried to make them gluten-free and edible. I had so much to learn about this seriousness of adhering strictly to this new lifestyle. I took our health very seriously. I was hyper aware of every situation where the kids would be exposed to food, In a calm controlled manner I took over. It was so much easier to take control of their food prep and intake rather than risking their wellness. In order to do this…I had to learn how to bake! I researched where to find food and gluten-free flours. I was determined to have our children have a wonderful childhood full of fun and comradery like they did before the diagnosis. I didn’t want them to have any negative focus on what they couldn’t have but rather to celebrate that they could still have everything but now it was just homemade. I wanted them to have a cupcake when the others kids were celebrating their birthdays in school. (Side note: You do not realize how often there are celebrations and treats in school until you have to bake something similar to what is being provided and then do those times three!). I wanted people to come to our home and enjoy themselves as they always had.
 
I played in the kitchen. In the beginning it was a crap shoot that I just kept plugging along with because there was no other option as far as I could see. I saw my kids grow into people who appreciated the food they were given in the spirit of love in which it was made. They showed their gratitude from an early age thanking me for baking their treats and then tanking me for making their Christmas (or celebrations) so special.  We forged some amazing family traditions as a result of our diagnosis. They grew to be adults who not only continued their gratitude for food, but also being appreciative of where the food came from and how it nurtured their bodies and how certain foods were better for their wellness. This cookbook contains some of our recipes from our 20 years of baking and cooking gluten-free because let’s face it, each one of us in this family has our favorite things! After all we are from a long line of ‘foodies.
 
Food has continued to remain, as I always hoped it would, an extension of love. It was once my way to show the kids that they could live a normal life with their gluten-free food and be healthy at the same time.
 
I worked to unlock some key dishes that we all felt happy to share with the gluten-eating world. The food was so good I was asked to share the recipes. My son suggested I create a YouTube channel to share the recipes rather than having to email everyone who asked. So, I did. And when I owned a restaurant for five years, I saw a need to offer safe gluten-free sandwiches and salads to not only my own family but to the community; I did that too.
 
I wanted to write this cookbook to help others get comfortable in the kitchen and enjoy the recipes my family enjoys. I hope through this cookbook and my story, you can take a literal page from my book, and focus more on the energy of providing a meal made from love, rather than if it is worthy of a social media post. I cannot express how many creations I have made when I jokingly stated, “Close your eyes and take a bite! You won’t be disappointed!”  I knew the taste was there if I hadn’t mastered the appearance just yet. After all I am a real person; I may not be classically trained but yet trained out of love and then necessity. They say that necessity is the mother of all inventions, so that explains a lot. I would like to add to that old adage that necessity can be the mother of invention and great joy!
 
I also knew that even the gluten-eaters would love the dish. I would say after they ate, that it JUST HAPPENS TO BE GLUTEN-FREE!  “I am not a master baker, but the flavor is there. The gluten maybe gone, but the flavor rocks on!”  Your creations are the same. When you create in love for your family, they will be so happy you made such an effort that they will not be giving you stars or thumbs up for looks but for the effort you put forth! They will LOVE you playing around in the kitchen for them!
 
I don’t know how else to be other than authentically me, and that is how I wanted to present my cookbook to you. Just a little laid back and not judging ourselves. After all, if a cake flops or you take it out of the pan too early, you can always make cake pops with it! Nothing is a lost venture!

​Wellness
We are all both spiritual and human beings. And as such, we can feel more energized and in control, and have more energy if we pay attention to the physical body's needs, signs, and "prodding". Working with mindful practices can also help establish wellness in the body. The mind creates the world we see and it is also true of the body. As a gluten free lifestyle enthusiast, Jen knows the importance of feeding this body what it needs to work.  The internet provides a great many resources to begin implementing healthy choices to your life today. A healing balance is always best when it comes to mind and body and the healing journey!
REIKI
Reiki has a powerful meaning. It is the two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". Reiki actually means the "spiritually guided life force energy." Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use.

When one experiences a Reiki treatment it feels like a relaxing flow of calming energy that flows through and around you. Reiki treatment have been reported to have miraculous results as it is treating the whole person. This includes the body, emotions, mind and spirit. Many are left with feelings of peace, security, energetic renewal, and a feeling of balanced wellbeing.

PSYCH-K®
The fact is that PSYCH-K® can function differently for different people.  It is truly a multi-functional, multi-disciplinary process to aid individuals in achieving their goals in life.  In the hands of a spiritual seeker, it is a tool to reduce stress by eliciting a Whole-Brain State. This is a special state of consciousness that activates both hemispheres of the brain simultaneously and thus helps to “clear the signal” to your inner spiritual guidance, thereby creating a gateway to higher consciousness.  In other words, PSYCH-K® can dramatically assist you in accelerating your own spiritual evolution!

PSYCH-K is a non-invasive, interactive process of change with a proven record of success for over 30 years! a simple, yet powerful process to change subconscious beliefs that are self-limiting and self-sabotaging a unique blend of various tools for change, some contemporary and some ancient, derived from contemporary neuroscience research, as well as ancient mind/body wisdom a groundbreaking approach to facilitating change at the subconscious level where at least 95% of our consciousness operates. a process that transcends the standard methods of visualization, affirmations, will power, and positive thinking especially effective in the areas of behavioral/habit change, wellness and stress reduction
ACIM Mentorship

Jen found immense value in ACIM during her own healing journey.
Included in the 3 and 6 month packages is a mentorship with ACIM lessons.
​
Intuitive and Medium
We all have an intuitive ability. By definition, intuition is "using or based on what one feels to be true even without conscious reasoning; instinctive." It has also been called the sixth sense and we are all born with it. As hard as it may feel for some to comprehend, we are also all born with the ability to connect and hear spirit. Divine guidance is available to all and when we are still, and vibrating on the frequency that is similar to spirit, they can be heard.

Jen believes there is a great link between quieting the mind and hearing the wisdom and guidance from the Holy Spirit as well as also knowing that we can all connect to those who have passed. Whether you connect or not isn't where the focus lies. The importance can be found in recognizing and understanding the amazing link and relationship we all have to the Universe, to God, and to all that IS. It is here where we begin to remember who we are. Healing and shifting begins to feel like it is possible and within our grasp.

Source God is not outside of us, but within. Great changes can occur when you work toward understanding that love and connection.
