Keeper of the treasure

Bringer of truth

For the unique way life wants to be expressed through you.

Welcome to Liberating Jasper

Where your relationship with yourself is at the heart of our work.

We believe that nurturing self-awareness, self-compassion, and inner wisdom is the foundation for true healing. Here, you'll find a supportive space to explore your inner world, strengthen your sense of self, and reimagine your future. We're honored to be part of your journey toward a deeper connection with yourself and a more fulfilling life.

OUR MISSION

Liberating Jasper illuminates your path back home to self.
We support you in this journey through mental health therapy, nutrition counseling, workshops,
special events, and retreats.

What if you could be your own place of refuge and sanctuary in a world that is always aiming to pull you away from yourself?

OUR VISION

In an ideal state of being, you are able to ground yourself in your inherent wisdom and live a life that feels free. We know that liberation from the internal and external forces that aim to disrupt, disconnect, and devalue you is possible. We also believe that there is a place for you, regardless of where you are in your journey back home to yourself.

The process of healing is the process of homecoming—a reunification of the parts of you that have gotten lost.

Liberating Jasper is a radically inclusive community dedicated to honoring your unique voice.

We are excited to support those looking to return home to themselves, their body, and their world. We do this through nurturing the growth of your inherent wisdom. We practice from a relational systemic lens, which means our providers deeply honor all your lived experiences and identities.

Mental Health Therapy

For those looking to deepen their relationship with their inner wisdom that is being disrupted by difficult thoughts, behaviors, patterns, or trauma, we provide mental health therapy tailored to your needs. We work from a trauma-informed, somatic, spiritual and body liberation framework to support you towards greater freedom in all areas of your life. Times are challenging and having support is often what separates us from merely surviving to thriving.

Nutrition counseling services to help cultivate peace with food and body.

Our Values

01

We are on

the path

next to you

...but you’re the only person who can lead you back to your home.

02

Appreciation

for the Present

Everything in life is impermanent, including your thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and beliefs. What is true now might not always be. By accepting and appreciating this universal truth, we can see beyond what’s possible. We don’t know where this process of self exploration will lead you, but we are committed to walking beside you for as long as it feels beneficial to you.

03

Body Liberation

...for all is only possible when the most marginalized among us is free.

04

Freedom and Spaciousness

There is no one way to be in relationship to anything or anyone–be it food, body, self, or others. We believe in practicing imperfection and creativity to help you imagine a life you didn’t think was possible. While there is no one path to achieving this, we invite you to explore a state of questioning, curiosity, and trusting your inner wisdom.

05

Authenticity

We believe that freedom and authenticity are interconnected. In a world where almost all of us are forced to hide parts of who we really are in order to be accepted by others or ourselves, living authentically is an act of radical self-love and courage. Leaning into authenticity requires us to dismantle internalized limitations in order to connect to those parts of ourselves that we’ve deemed unacceptable or dangerous. Trusting and embracing those parts of ourselves starts us on the path to liberation.

Story of Jasper

Danielle

" I have been a client of Liberating Jasper for about two years and see both Maggie and Colleen. One helps me to focus on nutrition and unpacking the deeply held beliefs of family and the influences by media. The other listens and helps me to unlock the answers to the deep trauma of my past and present. I am grateful for LJ and thank the universe for sending them to me."
