Meet Jen
Jen Hurst operates a private practice in Southern Utah, where she focuses on the Enneagram and trauma recovery. She also offers expertise in non-ordinary states of consciousness, including Holotropic-inspired BreathWork ceremonies and the preparation and integration of psychedelic experiences.
Jen brings over 25 years of personal and professional experience in various fields, including personality theory, mental health, addiction, family systems, abuse, and trauma recovery. She trained under Dr. Gabor Maté, specializing in his psychotherapeutic approach to trauma healing known as Compassionate Inquiry. This globally recognized program meets rigorous international standards for addressing a wide range of human afflictions and traumas that extend beyond Western privilege. Additionally, she completed her professional training in the Enneagram with The Narrative Enneagram, guided by Helen Palmer and Dr. David Daniels.
Her Trauma-Informed credentials span a spectrum of philosophies and disciplines, which implies important distinctions in the ever increasing world of Trauma Recovery, both traditional and nontraditional approaches. Under this broad canopy of "Trauma Informed" distinctions, she is Trauma Trained, Trauma Qualified and Trauma Experienced with 10s of thousands of clinical hours of processing and integrating Trauma Informed care to per clients.
​Jen has been devoted to continuing education, best practices and advocacy for more holistic solutions (or cures) for various mental health conditions and symptoms. She is passionate about both the anecdotal and empirical evidence that increasingly supports long term effectiveness of therapeutic psychedelics and natural plant medicines for many mental health conditions.
​
Jen is a wife, a mother to 7 and grandmother to 3. In her life time she has had to process and overcome many traumas, not dissimilar to that of her clients, which makes her occasionally a teacher, but forever a student, life itself is her greatest classroom.
