About Jhorna

Jhorna’s work began with her own journey to live her authentic self. As a transracial and transcontinental adoptee, growing up in Eastern Africa and the Indian subcontinent, she grappled with her own identity, sense of belonging, and where her “I” fit into the many collective groups she has had the privilege to be a part of.

Upon her arrival in the United States, without a community of support, she felt ill-equipped to face the challenges of cultural adjustment and the realities of racism both in her community and in her work life. This propelled her to pursue her Master’s degree in Service, Leadership, and Management to gain the language and tools she needed to make sense of her own life experiences. Her work in mental health, higher education, and overseeing the cultural adjustment process of high school students moving through the study abroad experience gave her a strong professional foundation in supporting others in their own holistic development. But, at the birth of her daughter, the layers of “othering” and rejection in her own life sent her into a spiritual emergency and it was there that she consciously began to heal her primal wound from the loss of her first family, transmute her internalized oppression, and increase her feminine self-worth.  As a stay at home mother, she entered what she now fondly calls the “mommastary”, where, in her isolation, she connected with her Divine guides and angels and began to receive downloads on how to effectively grieve, create internal empowerment, and claim her own inner sense of belonging. Today, she bridges a 20-year professional background in identity development with the art of spiritual connection. Through channeled embodiment, self compassion, and feminine communication practices, she loves supporting other women, way showers, and change makers in their journeys to heal individual and societal trauma, connect to their intuitive knowing, and contribute powerfully in making the world an equitable place for all. When she is not connecting deeply with others to co-create their next more joyful version of themselves, she is hiking, baking with her daughter, cheering her son on at one of his sporting events, or spending intentional time with her wonderfully supportive husband.
